Shanghaied posted:I can see it being somewhat challenging if its just a close-up of two faces (OP said it was of her and her friend on graduation). Making it 1000+ pieces would just mean you have hundreds of pieces that are just skin and nothing else. I've seen a 'hard mode' puzzle that was white. Just solid white edge to edge. No variation. No hints. You had to do everything by piece shape. I don't understand people who do that for fun, and I actually like jigsaw puzzles.

Puzzle lady did say it was a comfort puzzle kind of thing yeah? So presumably it being simpler was maybe part of the whole idea. It's not that it's a hard puzzle it's that it was a puzzle of her and her friend graduating.

Puzzle lady has to make sure everyone knows her husband isn't abusive, he just does abusive things. I think that stems back to this idea that abusers are like a different species than good normal humans, it's something you are rather than something you do. It makes so many people make excuses or downplay abuse because clearly the person isn't an abuser, abusers are unhinged monsters and pure evil all the time.

I was once on a date with someone, and she suggested we do a puzzle of the night sky together. She had argued previously (playfully) that my "technique" of "just eyeballing it" is dumb and and inefficient. She's one of those shape-sorters. I think she was trying to make a point. We had a lovely evening together in spite of the dumb puzzle.

Besides real estate agents, who the gently caress gives people tours of random people's houses??? Is the house architecturally or historically interesting in some way? Like if I was visiting a friend and he says "let's do a tour of my brother's house" I'd be like "loving why? I don't know your brother."

Kurieg posted:AITA: Wife chooses KPop idol over marriage Fights you don't have to have, exhibits 1 and 2. So, yeah, dude is an idiot for asking a dumb as gently caress hypothetical, and also a crybaby for crying about an answer that didn't fluff his ego enough. Wife shouldn't have to entertain the question, and shouldn't have to come up with a soothing answer to the stupid question. Also, the "Hey, who would you cheat on me with?" question seems like an especially poorly chosen one mid-deployment.

K-Pop fandom is only the 3rd biggest problem in that marriage. The 2nd is his deployment and the 1st is that neither of them are old enough to buy beer.

yea I mean it's a dumb question to ask but I would be a little weirded out if my wife was like "no seriously I would leave you for someone I don't know anything about as a person if I could because they are very hot" if the question was "am I hotter than him" then sure you gotta take your lumps, there's like a billion people hotter than me, but "I would seriously leave you for him this instant" is a wild answer I think

First off, he's doing the whole What We Do In The Shadows thing by calling it the Superb Owl, which while funny in the show, makes him seem like a massive dork. It's not cute. Second of all, kids that age have a hard time still understanding sarcasm. Third, calling it "ridiculous and improbable" that the KC Chiefs make it to the superbowl is perhaps the biggest annoyance of this whole thing. I'm not even a massive football fan and this person annoys me to no end.

Were they trying to seem cool by promising something they thought they wouldn't have to deliver on? If they were joking and their niece didn't understand, that might be less bad than other explanations, but since they don't note that, and I feel like they probably would if it helped explain why they aren't an rear end in a top hat, what was their actual intent? mystes fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Feb 12, 2024 |
