Several pages back I posted a series of pictures of me growing my hair long. One year ago: Now I got a full ponytail:  It then occurred to me that none of you guys have seen me at my full size yet:  Yeah, I put on weight. Probably a combination of age (36) and a recent relapse into alcoholism. I've been off for a few days but I'm still not out of the woods yet. That's why I'm not looking quite as fresh as last year. You're all making me jealous with pictures of yourselves enjoying the good weather. It's almost summer here in N. Ireland but it has rained lightly but steadily for the past 5 days here. Maybe the depressing weather caused the relapse.

Edit: Valko, man, sorry to hear that man, just try to stick with it. May not mean much coming from Random Internet Guy, but I'd been there too off and on for a long time, so I know it's tough. I'm sure there are other people that can relate as well, and would agree if you ever need an ear, we're here. Also, I enjoy 5 days of straight rain, but then again I'm one of those weirdos from Washington State that enjoys that kind of weather. RandomZero has a new favorite as of 12:16 on Jun 2, 2019 |

RandomZero posted:LOL oh wow, that made me giggle. Yeah, giggle. It's 4am soooo... Thanks for your kind words but I think it is my burden to bear. I don't know, I got badly criticized for talking about it in a GBS thread (how much alcohol consumption is acceptable before you have a problem) so that put me off talking about on the forums. That thread was full of party animals trying to poke fun of people who were genuinely posting about the misery of alcoholism. I don't want to talk about this anymore because I don't want to bring down the happy tone of this thread. Don't worry about me, my last sober stretch lasted 18 months. I'll get there again.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:Duzzy's post wasn't great either but I am shocked that this passed without more comment. Are you aware that the Me Too campaign arose due to the overwhelming frequency of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment of women both in and out of the workplace? Are you aware that even aside from the women you saw speaking out and posting about it, there are many, many more who have been assaulted or abused and are not in a healthy enough space to speak out about it or perhaps even acknowledge it? Are you aware that posts like this, whether or not your intentions are "genuine," are incredibly dismissive and belittling of women that have experienced these things?

Serious chat: As a guy who likes guys, I also try to be thoughtful, respectful when complimenting men. It's amazing how when we get to know someone on the inside how much that changes our level of attraction. Because it's what's on the inside that counts. In full disclosure, I've had my lapses in judgment along the way, usually under the influence of alcohol. Those are mistakes I learned a lot from, that I never repeat. Semi-serious chat: I'm looking for tips on how to get better pictures of myself. When I'm dating, I consistently have guys tell me I'm way cuter in person than in pictures. Examples:   Not serious chat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZOOEH9hQfM

I also stomp one foot up and down, pump my fists and my bowtie spins like a propeller. The females really appreciate the extra effort. Goober Peas posted:In full disclosure, I've had my lapses in judgment along the way, usually under the influence of alcohol. Those are mistakes I learned a lot from, that I never repeat. Oh god yes. There are things I have done in my life (mostly when a much younger poo poo head) that I am so deeply ashamed of. It's the secondary reason I will no longer have more than one or two drinks when out in public (the primary reason is watching someone die painfully of alcoholism).

I know it's too little and too late, but please accept my sincere apologies to everyone in the thread. I'm an imbecile and my comment was absolutely thoughtless and inappropriate. I almost certainly deserved a probation or a ban for it, but I truly appreciate LITERALLY A BIRD's insightful response and at least something good will come of this: I have learned a valuable lesson. SaS: I'm very sorry. Although no one has requested it I'm going to unbookmark this thread from the Awful app and leave you all in peace.

The only thing I can think of is that it looks like you're squinting pretty intensely at the camera and that's off-putting. (if that's the way your eyes are genuinely, then I apologize and you should disregard this)

One trick I used a lot when I was a photographer was: get your shot set up, close your eyes, smile, and open your eyes right when you're ready to snap the picture. You'll have like a split second before your brain yells at you to squint.

Inzombiac posted:I'm not much of a gun guy anymore but that looks like a lot of fun! It was a real ear ringer! I know nothing of guns but my farther-in law's friend owns some really powerful ones, the recoil on one of them cut his hand on two places. Also with regards to "smile more" I will say that it's not only negging, which is yuck, but also heavily implies that not only does she only exist to entertain and delight you, but she isn't even doing a good enough job of it and you expect her to give you more if what you want. That's not why we're here, my dudes. I get told that on the bus by strangers and it's like "I didn't get on this bus to be eye candy. I'm going home after work just like the men on this bus. Tell them to smile more too, I fuckin dare you."

Six-Of-Hearts posted:Six of Hearts set a new distance record of six of miles. In my new fav shirt. Wow how do you get to nearly 17mph on skates? Is it just a serious downhill? The gap between highest and lowest elevation doesn't seem that great, but I'm also for poo poo at estimating height. Also, from what I can see, cute shorts! Though I guess I'm obviously a sucker for pink.

Friends, I need help picking a picture for my portfolio according to the stupid newbie programming thread. I was told more casual or a headshot. Can ya'll help me out? Tell me if any are usable, apparently I don't have many pictures taken of just me.     I really need some better pictures taken of myself. RC Cola has a new favorite as of 02:16 on Jun 3, 2019 |

Ice castle (because it’s unique) or puppies (because everyone loves those). I think those are your best 2 in that set.

Flat open ground, sprinting in hi-lo, inline hockey skates, with marginally decent bearings. 20-25mph sprints weren't that difficult to hit with testosterone's assistance Back Then. And pink is the best color.
