So apparently it wasn't the case, but I was going to say that I know a pair of sisters who married a pair of brothers and both families thought it was the cutest and most romantic thing ever. Also I HATE the red dress at a wedding thing so much, because I love red and look good in it.

It's super lame! It's 2023 and no one I know is even pretending to do any "traditional" no sex before marriage or non-cohabitation or church weddings anymore, but they're still all doing the white dress thing. My SIL wore a bright red satin dress when she married my brother (her second marriage), and it was awesome, the vest on his tux matched and contrasted with our (the groomsmen's) white satin vests and made for amazing photos. Side benefit was a really nice dress was $200 instead of $2,000. Elviscat fucked around with this message at 22:35 on May 27, 2023 |

Have you tried an extremely stiff mattress? I'm not a man of heft, but I do have some lumbar lordosis and sleeping (or even sitting) on something that's too soft just kills my lower back.

Our current mattress is about as firm as my GF is comfortable on (second firmest the store has). Too stiff will create pressure points for me too, since I'm a side sleeper, for the first month or so before this mattress started collapsing it was awesome and supported my back perfectly. I think the most comfortable one I've ever had was an inch of cheap, soft foam topper over an ultra hard 2" thick government issued mattress set directly on a steel sheet. That might be a tough sell for my GF though.

WRT big guy beds, vaguely knew a couple of former pro football players, they would do bouncer stuff on the weekends at the bar I worked at. They both talked about their waterbeds and how awesome they were. I hope I contributed something.

You reminded me of the absolute disaster it was cleaning up after my parent's water bed burst, and my dad hanging a hose out the second floor window to drain it. You also reminded me of playing on it as a kid, and finding the old, enormous, 120V cord-powered "massager" that was stuffed between the mattress and water bed, and playing with that. So that's something!

I assume she meant to get to go to school and stuff? Not her fault for being abused, but by the 100th playthrough, I’d have thought about smuggling the iPod out and getting my friend to put some other songs on it.

You might want a separate bed from your gf. I know you might want to sleep in the same bed as her, but it sounds like you'd both have more comfortable beds if you weren't having to half-way your mattress for each other.

Yes there is a debate in Japan right now because swastikas are traditionally used to mark Buddhist temples on tourist maps because it’s equivalent to the Christian cross there and a more commonly used symbols than the more recognized in the west wheel of dharma. Then there are genuine nazis who just go “maybe I’m Buddhist did you think of that” so they can wear their hate in public because it’s all a game for them

I think it'd be a good thing for society to rehabilitate the swastika as a good symbol. I think it would still retain its recent sordid history but it would lose a great deal of its power for Nazi's as a whole. That said I have no idea how one would do that without another 50 to 100 years behind us.

That said I have no idea how one would do that without another 50 to 100 years behind us. As with many things, context is key. If you are in rural India and see a swastika carved into a centuries old stone building, then it is probably not a Nazi symbol. Just as if a shaven headed bloke wearing suspenders and doc martens with red laces shouting about how "they" control the media has a swastika tattoo, then he is probably not a Hindu. So, in my mind, the best option is to, if possible, in modern times try to avoid using it, but not to start accusing those with posters of Hanuman etc with swastikas on them of being White Supremacists.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:Yes there is a debate in Japan right now because swastikas are traditionally used to mark Buddhist temples on tourist maps because it’s equivalent to the Christian cross there and a more commonly used symbols than the more recognized in the west wheel of dharma. I have a few swastikas in my Facebook photos due to that, some temples have the symbol on incense sticks to burn on site, there were some on temples in Thailand when I was there with a field school. Some of the other students had no idea of the original meaning so they were silently concerned for a bit before asking the professor why. No one's ever said anything about my photos, I like to think most people I associate with are at least somewhat educated. Now the military paraphernalia shop I visited in Tokyo, that was a whole other loving story. Numerous Nazi uniforms, they looked way too worn, old, and well-made to be knock-offs or costumes. They were all behind locked glass with big signs saying no photos or you'd get banned from the store.

AITA for demanding preferential parking for my daughter's birthday?quote:My (37M) wife (36F) and I have been on a trial separation from our marriage for 9 months or so. I have missed my house but I understand that she needed some time alone. We have been together for a long time so being apart temporarily is not the end of the world. I went to pick up our daughter (12F) to go to the movies and found an unknown car on my usual parking spot in our garage. I don't come around our house much lately, usually just once a month. I could have just called our daughter for her to come to the car without parking but I wanted too talk to my wife about that new car. coronatae posted:The inverse of this guy
