    I saw a post on The Threadses along the lines of dudes only having pics of themselves with a fish, because that's the only time a group of dudes take pictures of each other, and hmm.

    today hiking my sister took a photo, looked at it, and went "you look mega chubbo, try to pull your shirt down with your left hand"

    so i did and the picture looks fantastic

    this is the kind of direct instruction and honesty I need for good vacation photos

    I find at my current age that the relaxing in bed thing isn't a luxury thing, but a necessity. When I am flopped in bed, I'm just out of energy, and I can't muster the will or physical movement to do anything. I'm out of gas at that point. It's not one of my favorite things, but it's one of those things that I have to do to survive.

    the ladies have so many tricks it's wild

    and like not even getting into straight up deceptive stuff

    like just knowing how to actually look like yourself and not a startled sack of potatoes

    i would say that in general i agree, and it's a no-fun thing that i'm happy to swallow for the person to have their fun thing. but ime whether it's with family or a partner it often correlates with visible unhappiness- 'would you just fucking smile' snapped out, or you managing their self esteem because they say these last thirty pictures all made them look fat.

    i think maybe i just need a better family and better romantic partners :hmm:

    Man, i only took one adderall, my last, and i do not like the feeling already. Especially because my hormones were fucking with the efficacy so it feels like my brain has been spinning in mud for awhile.

    hiking photos are fraught because your shirt just gets soaked and clings to your body and the sun is overhead making harsh shadows, and your hair is usually a mess. theres not a less flattering set of conditions. you take any assist possible

    ofc one of the biggest vacation divides is when you're with someone who loves to take pictures (not of the landscape but like, including them where you have to participate either by being in frame for an ussie or by taking the picture of them). and they want like 100 pictures until they're satisfied. and you're not a picture person.

    i like this person... they enjoy this activity... it's valuable to them... i wish to compromise and help them do this thing they value about vacationing...

    but i have limits!! this fucking sucks for me!

    I'd stop taking photos and move on if I could just get one photo where you don't look like you're being held hostage

    give the real smile not the duress smile and it will all be over

    this photo is for your mother. she likes to see them and you never send her any!!

    sorry this might have turned into literally things I say to my husband while trying to get a vacation photo

    "Fix it in post."

    My job exhausts me emotionally, mentally, and physically so my dream vacation would be like a Baron Harkonnen suit and/or a sensory deprivation floating tank with nutrients provided. I used to come home from grad school and sleep the first week of Christmas holiday and like everyone in my family knew that was the drill and I would be recovered enough to do fun things the second week.

    I like having lots of different hobbies and I enjoy that it's an absolute grab-bag of practical and silly and geeky and masculine and feminine stuff

    I like reading scifi, cooking, baking, gardening, correspondence with you all, fashion, hiking, running, rowing, weightlifting, motorcycles, guns,

    So, I put in an application to The Other Reindeer singers, which is a Christmas caroling group that takes small gigs throughout the holidays. Because it's a pro singing thing, obviously they get started up in the summer to prep. I guess the typical procedure is to send in a resume (of your singing history specifically) and then some vocal samples, and then they get back to you with some callback files for you to sing to see if you make the cut.

    I sent about six YouTube samples of my singing in various a cappella groups, and in an ego-boosting interaction, apparently those vocal samples were so good that I don't need to go through the callback process. I'm just in, and I start up whenever it's time to start rehearsals.

    Since I am filled with hatred for all these shops I'm thinking simply force them to be open as long as a single plane has yet to land or take off

    It is their only purpose for being allowed in in the first place, after all

    Flogging or being fed through jet engines
