Today I cant find one single positive thing to say about Meghan. Not even one. by u/RoohsMama

Today, I can’t find one single positive thing to say about Meghan. Not even one. When I was a baby SMM member I wrote a post asking everyone to say one positive thing about Meghan. I do this mental exercise just to “clear the decks” and make sure I only have good vibes. (One can imagine how downvoted my post was but people did manage to find at least one positive thing to say.)Today, I can’t think of any. Since that early post, Meghan has done so many unthinkable things. She mocked the late Queen in their Netflix documentary. She let her squaddies attack Catherine when the Princess of Wales was struggling with cancer. These people accused William of beating her to death because she cheated on him with another relative (who committed suicide for unrelated reasons) and so he could marry Rose HanburyShe traveled to other countries (Colombia, Nigeria) on quasi royal tours and had them foot the billThere is further confirmation that she bullied staff after the Hollywood Reporter article Even other celebrities (such as Oprah) are staying clear of her, and those who defended her have gone silent She claims to protect her children’s privacy but uses other people’s kids as PR props. The Uvalde stunt was just horrifying She still hasn’t communicated with her father Her association with charities is purely self-serving, such as the one with the Parents Network Her business ventures are shoddily done. Archewell’s paperwork is delinquent. She launched American Riviera Orchard complete with logo and webpage but it’s now stuck at the patent office There are shady dealings at their foundation with millions still unaccounted for They lied about being chased in NYC just so they can pretend to be like Diana and to regain British taxpayer-provided security She continues to use the race card to victimise herself and divides people rather than unites them She’s tweaked herself so much that it does her no favours and still wears her hair the same way with those loose strands Her fashion choices have slowly worsened through the years; when she was with the RF she had some good apparel. But none recently The businesses she supports are dodgy (ClevrBlends not upfront on ingredients sourced from China; those Cesta handbags cheat the African women who make them) She used to pretend to be vegan/pro animal life but is inconsistent with the values (uses leather goods, didn’t call out Harry’s cruelty to animals in Polo)Still lies constantly forced school kids’ parents in a New York elementary to donate to Archewell by buying her book and then silenced them with NDAsPublicises every small donation or contribution to a charity threatened to blab on her in laws by saying she hadn’t been made to sign an NDA marched in front of veterans at Invictus, while wearing shorts posed with disabled people while ignoring them the whole time made the Queen’s death about herself by demanding to be present (thus delaying Harry’s flight) and then being photographed at the Palace while the Queen’s body was being received; did fake crying, then did the curtsy she said she couldn’t do and more Everything I try to think of something nice to say, each one of the above facts came up. The only positive thing I can say today is that she and Harry have stopped having public appearances together. And that is a huge blessing. ETA: I just thought of another! She’s made Catherine even more beloved.

Ivi, can you explain to me this kinda discourse between reddit and tumblr about the roleplay in hermitcraft?

Since middle of season 8 i stopped to interact with both fandoms, so am not well aware of what happening, what can a i see is what most people here on tumblr love the rp while reddit hate it.

My doubt is, if people in reddit was as annoying as some people here on tumblr with that topic.

I had a really toxic annon bothering me cause i didnt like the roleplay this season and saying i shoul leave to reddit cause i "betrayed" hermitblr. The nerve! Dear, am on tumblr before you know how to use a computer!

I wasnt really bothered with the rp thing, even if i dont like it i really get bored with it that i stopped watch their videos, but i still supports them cause hermits deserved and i know people enjoy it. But then a lot people started to harassed the hermits that doesnt participate in the roleplay that i decided to avoid the fandom at all with little exceptions.

Uf sorry for the rant, but it was stuck in me since forever and am trapped in this bored bus ride and cant see the hermit stream :c

Te enviaria una foto de doggos en compensación, pero tumblr no me deja enviar fotos

Hi Svetla!! So sorry for no immediate reply! I was watching the stream to get all the info!

But now Im here so I’ll explain the sort of beef?? I mean is not a beef is the perceived difference of fandom between both plataforms.

With the end of season 8 being so positively received on tumblr while it had mixed and more out right negative reactions on reddit it started becoming apparent that opinions where more varied than any of the sector’s thought but still they remained somewhat separated from eachother because of plataforms.

I discussed this before with Quara, but personally I believe that each site by how it works and by how present the Hermits are in each platform satisfies different needs for different fans.

Tumblr’s chaotic, collaborative culture and layout allows for more fandom-y practices like creating headcanons, creating fanon lore, creating alternate universes, etc. So it both encourages fans to interact with more fandom content as well as attract fans that would like to engage with the og content (hermit videos) and the fandom content (all the mentiones above and more)

Meanwhile Reddit with its system of upvotes and downvotes and focus on soley discussing the subject matter + the fact Hermits are directly involved with it. It attracts another demographic like the fans that are more interested purely on the content, or the tech side of it.

This two are probably influenced by demographocs as well but that is not the point.

The point is there are different expectations in each site because put simply. There are different ways to enjoy things and none is better than the other, they are simply different.

Having that in mind, the different expectations create different reactions which is what we observed happened with season 8.

My theory is that the storyline of big moon and the big lore implications excited Tumblr because that is what the fans in tumblr are expecting. After all we do much more headcanoing and derivative fan content here. We expect change, we enjoy change since being in fandom (as understood in tumblr) means you are exposed to quick variations and collaborations and changes so if you find yourself in hermitblr you are probably expecting and enjoying more the lore related changes.

Meanwhile the reddit audience that may enjoy more the reliable format of the hermits, the more hanging out vibes of it which each member doing their projects found the change to be neutral or negative (broadly speaking, no plataform specific fandom is a monolith I’m just trying to explain the general attitudes I saw and the reasons I think it might be different). Maybe it was not even the change in on itself that made reddit found season 8 jarring but simply that it was less of what they had come to expect from hermits.

And important to reiterate. Both takes are valid! Content can be enjoyed in different ways

As the hiatus settled in. It became clear Hermits where receiving most of their feedback from youtube, reddit and twitch. But it became noticeable in tumblr that the feedback that had come from reddit since many users (me included) would see the feedback on the reddit and even if not rude (hell, it was probably not even the majority that was being actively hostile) it could be harsh. And some bordered on the attitude of “oh! The HERMITS (all) DIDNT like season 8 so OBJECTIVELY I am more right than people that liked it because I didn’t like it! In fact I hated it!” (This comment has been exaggerated, is just to highly some of the thoughts in the subreddit)

Tumblr of course did not enjoy this sort of attitude as many people here did enjoy it, and claiming all Hermits hated it and that it was a mistake it was a very general statement in a more complex situation. Tumblr (at large. Not saying absolutely everyone) did appreciate the storyline, and the experimentation and the effort. -Thus why the current push for hermitblr fans to be more vocal in channels hermits see (like twitch) of their enjoyment of what the Hermits did. Not necessarily to go “no dudes we absolutely adored that with our entire souls you should only do this sort of lore now” but on an effort to let the Hermits know their experimentation was seen and appreciated.

Now to answer your question (sorry for the long ass context but it is needed to fully adress what had happened)

The anon probably saw you didn’t enjoy how season 8 turned out and probably being defensive because hey! They probably did enjoy it (and also a show of tribal mentality in humans of sticking with your group and othering the others) they went “hey you! Person that has negative opinions like the ones I have seen are shared by the reddit. Why don’t go there and leave us alone?”

Thats why the anon was asking you to leave.

Now was Reddit as toxic about it as Tumblr? Well… yes. In the sense that each plataform perceived general opinion (which is valid) emboldened people to belive “oh so we are all in agreement and we all feel like this”

Tumblr may have been toxic about the lore imposing it as the “great thing that needs to happen always and the thing missing from hermitcraft” (although I wouldn’t know myself in what way since I admit was in a bubble of fellow fans enjoying it as much as I did. So if my assumption on how toxicity in tumblr looked like are wrong, forgive me I simply don’t know).

But Reddit had also been toxic with sentiments of “Hermitcraft is superior as a vanilla series and anyone that doesn’t like it like that should shove it” “Hermitcraft is ruined for me and I don’t think I will be anticipating the next season if they do the same” (valid sentiment. Just worded harshly on a plataform the Hermits use and could have seen that comment) “Hermitcraft is NOT supposed to be an rp series. I condemn that” (as strong dislikes as someone may have about what happened Hermits should be allowed to experiment)

So…. There hasn’t been direct beef but both sides definitely choose how they felt about the event and feel about it strongly, which in turn makes individuals act in a toxic manner on both sides.

Is a situation of a very “us v them” mentality even for what isn’t really beef?? Like Tumblr simply stared and reddit and went “huh so this happened” and Reddit hasn’t really acknowledged tumblr as far as I know? So… is not beef, just differences that have enabled some people to be toxic

[bondsmagii]

I mean to ask this genuinely, no hostility, but can you explain how you correlate scp to being in a cult? I dont disagree, I just cant articulate the reasoning as to why I dont disagree, and would like to see where youre coming from with this. Also, could you tag it with cults or cult discussion or something similar, please? Thanks! Have a good day.

OK [cracks knuckles] I will try and keep this as short as possible, but you have to understand I’ve been observing the wiki in the wild literally since its inception, so there is a lot of stuff to consider. anyway let’s buckle up.

[EDIT: after finishing, this is obnoxiously long. sorry. I encourage people to read it though, because yikes.]

I base this theory on a set of guidelines set out for spotting if an organisation might be a cult. generally cults are religiously based; obviously this does not apply here. as far as I’m aware, nobody sees the SCP wiki as a religion (yet). because of this a couple of the points regarding spotting a cult are irrelevant (they concern things like separation from the Church which obviously doesn’t apply) but nearly all of the others (even some religious ones) can apply if we provide context. so without further ado:

Signs You’re In A Cult and How the SCP Wiki Literally Fits Into All of Them

let’s start with the most obvious:

opposing critical thinking

something that has long pissed me off about the SCP wiki has been its complete inability to think critically. staff will literally ban people for criticising them, and the parameters of “criticism” have only grown wider and wider over the years. anything that is the “party line” is sacred; nothing can be improved upon because it’s already perfect, and Staff Knows Best. any policy changes are law, and any dissenting voices are silenced – even among younger staff members (length of service wise, not age wise). I have seen staff put on probation or demoted for arguing against pointless or pedantic policy changes; I have seen people of all levels banned for arguing with staff. if this doesn’t happen right away, arguing with staff over their decisions will absolutely get a target on your back, and they will find a way to ban or demote you as soon as they can.

any criticism on the wiki is frowned upon unless it comes from the Major Staff Members – these are people at the top of the hierarchy who can do no wrong, and as you can imagine, they’ve done some shit. staff has always had a problem with elitism, bullying, and even abusive behaviour (blah blah blah #NotAllStaff, but the ratio is quite concerning) and any criticism of their behaviour or even pointing this fact out is dangerous if you want to remain on the wiki. hell, I know many people who are aware of this who don’t speak up because they’re genuinely scared of retaliation. a lot of staff are really nasty people, and because of this attitude they are beyond criticism.

isolating members and penalising them for leaving

the penalising them for leaving part isn’t strictly accurate, because as far as I know, nobody has ever been bullied or threatened into staying on the wiki. however, I do remember a while back (2011/2012-ish) when the Foundation RP community began to show up on Tumblr, and the wiki began to get a fanbase that wasn’t contained on the site itself. staff were not happy about this and to this day they still constantly try and get a monopoly on all off-site locations. they have an official Offsite Outreach Team (yes, that’s its real name) who “reach out” to communities on other platforms (YouTube, Reddit, Tumblr, etc) and set up an Official Presence there, and then they encourage everyone to use the Official Presence rather than the fan-made ones (which are often more established and better/more consistently run). there have been several off-site spats between staff and the fandom, because they arrive demanding the authority and respect they have on the wiki and get Big Mad when they don’t get it. just recently one (now ex) staff member, djkaktus, went absolutely primal on Reddit and banned a whole bunch of the community for daring to say that they didn’t like the new LGBT logo for pride month (many of these people were LGBT themselves and felt as though it was pandering/putting targets on their backs); several more years ago (2014, I believe?) I myself had a run in with the Outreach Team and it was one fucking hell of a headache that ended in a malicious smear campaign against me, so like. yeah.

as for isolating members, they do this via elitism. the above is an example of it (making everyone feel a sense of obligation or loyalty to the Official Presence), but a huge part of it has always been the elitist attitude prevalent on the wiki. the SCP wiki has high standards for writing (allegedly… I’ve seen some garbage on there tbh, same as any other website) and it uses this to bully and demean its users. criticism of writing is overly harsh but highly encouraged; anyone complaining that it was too cruel (which it often is) is ridiculed for being too sensitive. (staff have been working on this for years, but really nothing has changed; people have just gotten more between-the-lines about it.) this encourages a kind of desperation among new users to “rise up the ranks” and earn respect so they can be the ones dishing out the criticism instead; they will do so and then immediately act in accordance to their status, bullying others how they were bullied and sticking to their own “rank”. brief interruption: staff and bootlickers if you’re reading this and thinking of reblogging to defend yourself, the code word is yeet. if I do not see the word yeet in your reply I will know you have not read this thoroughly and tell me why I should then bother reading anything you have to say.staff themselves is incredibly removed and closed off from the rest of the community; they have a bunch of private chat rooms they hang out in, and inter-dating is common. they don’t tend to interact much outside the flock, and are the definition of cliquey. joining this rank is supposed to be an achievement, but really it’s probably the most dangerous place to be. I have seen so many staff members have literal, clinical mental breakdowns over the strain and treatment they suffer.

(there’s nowhere to neatly slot this in, so: I don’t know how many people have noticed this, but SCP fans, when you spot them on other platforms, are snooty. not casual fans, but those involved with the wiki? I can spot them from a mile away, because whenever the Foundation is mentioned, there they are, acting like they’re part of some cool club. some of these people are innocent (they’re just mimicking the behaviour of other members) but some of them really do seem to think that their site is somehow better than whatever site they’re on, and it’s really creepy to see.)

emphasising special doctrines outside of scripture

obviously this is religion-specific, but with context it can fit. if we take scripture to mean SCP lore, and special doctrines to mean differing headcanons, ideas, writing styles, etc… oh boy.

there’s something that’s often said on the wiki: there is no canon. buddy, there is. yes, you can write whatever you want technically, and you can disregard headcanons you don’t like and you can build on different things and theoretically people can just ignore your shit if they don’t like it, but that is not what happens. there is absolutely a canon, and deviating from it will get you downvoted into oblivion and even personally attacked. people will accuse you of the most ridiculous shit, like desecrating the wiki or betraying the universe or whatever. so where does the emphasising part of this come in?

why, it’s simple! if one of these special doctrines (headcanons or whatever) comes from staff or an Approved Member, it’s fine. go nuts. even if it’s something that anybody else would be absolutely slaughtered for, it’s fine if staff approves. there is no creative freedom on that wiki, and anyone attempting to carve a piece out for themselves will suffer for it. one of my close friends still gets hate for an SCP he wrote featuring heavy headcanons and building on existing lore about a well-known character, and some of this hate is because he didn’t set the fucking article out “how it should be”. 

seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders

oh boy. staff are god on that website. they’ll deny it, but they know it’s true. many of them are arrogant and, in my opinion, some of them are pathologically narcissistic. they think they are hot shit, and they encourage people on the site to believe the same. a huge majority of users on the wiki are high school students, so 15-18 years old. the next huge group are college-aged, so 19-22 or so. several staff members are in their mid-20s up to 30s, maybe even coming 40s or early 40s now. when you’re in your mid-20s, it’s very easy to look cool to a 15-year-old. it’s very easy to look at a young userbase and convince them that you’re hot shit, and that’s what staff do. they act like it; most users respond to it, and if anyone dissents? see point one.

staff have always had double standards. from the very beginning of staff, they have gotten away with a lot more than the average user. staff have been allowed to bully, ridicule, harass, dismiss, shit upon, and target people with reckless abandon, usually only meeting punishment when other staff members feel too inconvenienced by them. a lot of the time when they’re punished, it’s a lot lighter than it would have been for an average user (a month ban rather than a permaban, for example). this is seen as almost a point of hilarity for a lot of people, who think it’s cool and just a right you get when you’re staff. you know best, you’ve seen some shit – who can blame you for slamdunking a 15-year-old’s first SCP?

the amount of respect and adoration these people demand is ridiculous, and anybody daring to criticise them ends up on a shitlist. staff show up in other areas (Tumblr or Reddit) and expect that same amount of respect, even among people outside of the wiki who might just be casual fans. they act a lot more important than they are, and demand that everyone treats them appropriately. I’ve seen staff members throw shitfits because they didn’t get enough upvotes for their articles, and many staff members’ quality of work declines when they make staff, simply because they know that they’ll get easy upvotes as soon as people realise it’s a staff member who wrote it. downvotes are enough to get you put on a shitlist. 

publicly, their word is law. you are not allowed to debate with them in the forums if they put a “stop” on the topic; the same applies in the IRC chat. if staff says “stop”, you will be punished if you mention it again. you are allowed to discuss it with them privately, but I think that’s rather insidious, as staff have been known to twist facts and withhold information before. this gives them a public persona of always being right – and something else that cults do is silence dissenting voices so nobody who might agree can see other people saying the same things and feel encouraged/emboldened. 

crossing Biblical boundaries of behaviour

again, we’ll need to contextualise this. if Biblical boundaries are things like sins and all the stuff the Bible says Do Not Do, then in this context these are the wiki rules. staff (and their friends) will constantly cross the rules, as previously mentioned, and they will get away with it.

the wiki rules say “don’t be a dick”. I have caught staff bullying people countless times, and no doubt there’s more I haven’t caught. even out in the open, staff are argumentative, dismissive, rude, intimidating, and oftentimes plain nasty. the wiki rules say “don’t coldpost articles; get feedback”. staff is just out there throwing their shit onto the wiki and expecting an avalanche of upvotes in five minutes Or Else. policies are made that set parameters and staff changes them whenever convenient – for example, the long-standing rule that things that occur off-site are not the responsibility of the Disciplinary Committee (yes, its name.). unless, of course, it’s someone they don’t like. a major staff member bullies somebody on Tumblr? “sorry, it was offsite, not our problem”. someone staff doesn’t like gets into a brief spat on Reddit? banned for harassment. 

there are countless examples of this, from small things to major things like bullying, harassment, and even abuse (or enabling of abuse). staff will punish people for transgressions and then turn a blind eye to a fellow staff member committing a transgression that was ten times worse. they have even protected rapists and sexual predators in the past – another kind of behaviour common in cults, because that’s what happens when you combine narcissism and entitlement with total authority.

that’s the main bulk of it

but now the context has been established, here are a few more concerning things I’ve noticed (quickfire now):

cults shit on former members

and the wiki does the same. any staff member that’s grown fed up of the groupthink and the cliquey attitude and how nasty people are or who has been mistreated by staff themselves; any regular user who feels the same and vocally quits? shat upon. lauded as a bastion of whatever is wrong with the wiki. declared an Enemy and rallied against. it is so creepy.

cults use Us vs Them mentality, especially in language

broad declarations establishing a community and a community spirit in the face of adversity are common in cults. appeals to emotion and loyalty are used in a very manipulative way. catastrophising and fearmongering is common, too. I’m seeing this in how the recent drama with the legal issues is being handled. broad appeals to “defend the wiki”, hashtags being encouraged, emotional speeches from staff about how it’s a make or break situation… 

…and this is being reflected in the absolutely insane comments people are responding with.

this is a fucking writing website. the above is not a normal reaction at all.

the attitudes of regular users quickly grow concerning

people very quickly get obsessed with the wiki and it defines their lives. they seem to feel as though they owe something to it or they need to serve some kind of a purpose; many people try and “get the word out” and become voluntary spokespeople. they go around practically preaching, and I do not see the users of any other website doing this.

cults want full control over how they’re seen by outsiders

and the scp wiki does the same. as mentioned previously, when the fandom grew and spiralled off the wiki to other sites, staff debated for weeks over what to do. brief interruption the second code is shrek is life.they were not comfortable with the idea of the wiki having an independent fandom, and for years now they have been in constant struggle with offsite communities, trying to gain the same amount of control they have over the wiki. it’s impossible to do so thoroughly, and it’s clearly an annoyance for them.

cult leaders will let “lesser” members do their dirty work for them

and guess what staff does? rather than wade in there and get their hands dirty with internet arguments, they’ll sit back and let regular users dogpile on dissenters and say all the things staff shouldn’t be seen to say in public. note how even if this would violate the bullying policies, they’ll just get a warning so long as staff agrees. 

in conclusion

@ everyone on the scp wiki: yall know you’re in a cult, right?

Mr Technodad made a comment on u/jevalinka 's post!

Here are the contents of it:

This is an important question, and one asked in good faith by someone who is hurting. (And therefore not something that should be downvoted. Ahem.) I see you, Eurus, and I see your pain. I hope you will forgive but I'm not going to answer your question directly. Instead I'm going to tell you something else. You say: > I cant stop crying when someone mentions technoblade This is a sure sign that you grief has become stuck. Whether you are crying for your brother or for my son or both or some other reason, your mind has become focused on a single thing, and it is a thing that brings you grief, a thing that makes you cry. This is not how your life is supposed to be. This is not what Technoblade would have wanted for you, it is not what I want for you, and although you haven't said anything about them, it is almost certainly not what your family wants for you. You grief is stuck, like a car in a muddy road, spinning its tires. We have to get you moving again. You say: >I force myself to smile but all i can think about is his last moments There are two problems here. The first is that you force yourself to smile. This might be ok here or there but it that's what you're doing all the time then you're not being authentic. You're concealing your true feelings from the people around you, and this concealment creates separation and the separation **causes more suffering**. Instead you need to be more true to your feelings. You need to be authentic. Only an authentic and true person can truly connect with the people around them, and this connection is an important avenue towards getting you some help, and getting some joy back in your life. Tell your parents, "I am hurting all the time inside." Or whatever words are right for you. **Tell them about your pain**. Tell your school counselor or whoever, because you need to be talking to someone about it. If you release these feeling through words, your grief can start to move again, it can escape and leave room for happiness and joy and love. If you hide your pain behind a smile, it will stay with you and fester. You might need a grief counsellor, or you might need a therapist, or you might not. But whatever the right path for you is, it will absolutely involve **talking to others**. The second problem is that all you can think about is his last moments. These are painful memories, yes, and they really happened and it is perfectly appropriate to think about them **in proportion**. Know that even in the last week of his life there were moments that were beautiful and loving and connected with the members of his family. And the last week of his life was only one week out of over a thousand weeks of his life. If you are only ever thinking about his last moments, then you have abandoned all but a tiny sliver of his life, you have abandoned all the things that made us love him in the first place. **You must not do that** for your own health. Instead, you must consider all of his life. Remember that he was that blue eyed, golden haired tiny child in that picture I posted. He was the man who made Potato Wars. He was the student who got in trouble at school for playing tag and then the principal tried to drive a wedge between him and his dad that failed utterly. He was the guy who instantly knew what Skeppy typed on the two signs by listening to the keys being pressed. He was the man who took on Dream, Dream, who stood across the Minecraft world like a colossus, he took him on and won. He was the child who said "Baby fall down crash." He was all of these things and ten thousand more. And yes, he was also my beautiful precious boy who died much too young. Don't push **any** of these ideas away, or you will only be seeing a part. Note the subtle point here. I am not saying to suppress the sad memories, because those sad memories are true. Instead, I am saying, **also** think about the happy memories. These are challenging tasks you are now faced with. But I am confident you are up to succeeding. You are worthy not just of love, but of joy and happiness. And on the far side of this journey, you may come to discover that you understand how tragedy can be beautiful. Best of luck to you.

For the cynical dudes out here, yes both men and women have struggles. However women have very specific types of struggles that more men need to truly recognize.Most women are smaller than the average guy. Many carry around pepper spray for a reason. Most of them do not walk alone at night. If they do, chances are they have a loved one insisting them to be careful.Most women walk in pairs to the restroom. I doubt that all they do is gossip. They do it for protection. Strength in numbers in case shit goes sideways.From my observations, women tend to feel safer in groups.So here are places that are best NOT to approach a woman, from my own past mistakes:1.) On the bus or subway- These are sketchy places in general, often filled with creeps and weirdos. As a medium height male, I often feel weirded out going on the bus myself. Imagine how a woman who is by herself feels. She's likely figuring out how to get off the damn thing as soon as possible when the trip ends.Please resist the urge to approach a woman on there. You will not come off in a great light. The reason isn't you. This woman has her guards up because there are very real creeps on the bus. She has no reason to assume that you're not one of them.If that makes you angry at her, then chances are you are one of these sorts of creeps and you don't realize it. I say this because if you cant see it from the woman's pov, then that is really problematic.We dudes need to see things from their perspective. Downvote me if you want, please. The truth is the truth.The bus is not the best place to approach a woman.2.) At her job- Please don't approach her at her job. There is no way out for her.Especially if it's a customer service job, she has to be smiling and polite nearly all the time.It is very easy to develop crushes on the cute barista or cashiers. Most of them are young and very attractive. If they seem like they are smiling a lot to you, there is a good chance that it's not personal.It is their job to smile at every customer.Sure, some of them may find you attractive. Fine. But it isn't a really high percentage. Most of them have managers standing over them ordering them to keep a friendly face. It doesnt mean that these women are mean when off the clock. It just means that you shouldnt mistake her friendliness for an invitation to flirt.Be polite, respectful. If you MUST ask them out, hand them a slip of paper with your number. Put underneath "Only if you want." (Have this planned out so you dont waste time). And with Covid-19 affecting stores, I doubt that you'll be doing this soon at all.Do it discreetly and walk away. Dont stalk her afterwards. Please. If she likes you, she'll know what to do.3.) When she is by herself in a secluded area-Very similar to the bus situation...this woman's guard is up. It is not the best place to approach her. ATMs, etc...4.) When she is at the gym.She's there to work out, not to get hit on. If you want to strike up a friendship, ask her for gym advice. Maybe over time, you can gain enough solid foundation to ask her out. Respect her even if she says 'no.' (The bar is very low here, guys. My apologies if this advice sounds condescending)Dont just go up and hit on her. That isn't what she wants. And I doubt that's what you actually need to be focusing on while you're at the gym.5.) Unsolicited DMs- This one is more of a Your Mileage May Vary situation. Women on instagram are used to DMs. So I'll say tread carefully. Dont get mad if they dont respond. This is a needle in a haystack. And I'd resist the urge to do to this on Facebook, where the environment is a lot more conservative. I have no opinions on Snapchat or Twitter since I dont use it, but just use common sense.WHEN to approach a woman1.) When she is with friends- As a former shy dude, this sends chills down my spine, but a woman will most likely feel at her safest when she is with people that she trusts.Introduce yourself to her and acknowledge her friends. Hand her your number. Wish the group a good night. That's all it has to be. She'll know what to do with the number.2.) When she is by herself and there other people around her. - This time, she has more of an opportunity to feel safe. This could be at a Barnes and Noble or coffee shop. She is technically by herself, but at least she has other people in her visual, essentially thinking, "This guy wouldnt go crazy here."(This may be the best option for shy dudes)3.) At a party- the social lubrication is great. Everyone is having a good time. This is great time to flirt with a woman. (This basically ties to #1. When she is with friends). Same with being at a game.4.) At church? I am not religious, but if you are, approaching a woman after a church service does not seem like a bad play. It is full of people left and right, and you can talk about the last sermon.5.) At a bar- I dont personally enjoy bars, but they are the classic environment to picking up both men and women.6.) At the dentist- (Nah, just kidding) Figured y'all could use some laughs.Despite Covid-19 basically rendering most of these scenarios moot, the points still stand.Women like to feel safe. They need to feel safe. So when you are approaching a woman...help them feel safe.Dont pin them against the wall. Give them a way out. Show them that you arent some creep, because they do not have reason to trust you yet.Be polite and resepectful. Read the room. Read body language.Again, this advice may seem condescending. Not my intentions. A lot of this advice is for the younger men on here.Please resist the urge to be sarcastic with this stuff. I know it's part of the territory of r/dating_advice, but it really doesn't help.Finally, take care of yourselves. 👍🏾 via /r/dating_advice

Orange Is The New Black 2013 2019 06 Seasons 78 Episodes Signatures T-Shirt

Trust me Orange Is The New Black 2013 2019 06 Seasons 78 Episodes Signatures T-Shirt . I know some of the people there are very oversensitive and subjective but they do have lots of direct connections with sellers and are always showing them what to make next, UK might be able to make this if you petition it on FS. not sure why you’re downvoted, its an honest opinion. I think the quality of materials and embroidery on the real piece are what will make it stand out in person. and yes definitely going for an 80’s vibe, but lots of designers seem to be doing it nowadays.Orange Is The New Black 2013 2019 06 Seasons 78 Episodes Signatures T-Shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt

Classic Men's can agree it sometimes gets over-done Orange Is The New Black 2013 2019 06 Seasons 78 Episodes Signatures T-Shirt . I mean, that’s a pretty nice area. I know Walgreens down the street is paying at least $50 NNN and the nicer shops along Broadway (dry hop, Argo Tea, Chipotle, etc.) are definitely paying rents that are close to that. Of course, they have the right to do this, but because it’s part of a trend that will alter the fundamental character of a neighborhood, a discussion is certainly worthy…Lakeview was once its own city and now it’s about 10 years away from being River North North… There is probably no way to stop this transition and god knows we will all survive, but a bit of character will be lost. I can agree on expensive upkeep, but “lower quality” is factually untrue for many, many buildings in this city. This is a normal process though. Part of the reason they probably cant leads is not that the rent is too high per day but because “vintage” usually means lower quality and expensive upkeep and is less desirable. The vintage isn’t what people should really sweat much over. our city is filled with beautiful prewar Craftsman buildings built by European artisans. it’s literally our architectural heritage. the buildings replacing them are not anywhere near to the same quality or aesthetic standard, and it cheapens our city. we should absolutely sweat over losing them. There are thriving cosmopolitan cities with buildings dating back to the 17th century. Creative developers have found ways to maintain history while making the buildings usable. If you want to live by the “vintage means lower quality” principle, there are cities where just about everything was built in the last 30 years, and they lack any sense of history or identity.
