In visual art like film, you use things like colors, weather, objects, lighting, etc. to convey emotions or give impressions without outright saying it. Here are all the romantic symbols, elements, or references to other romantic plots I spotted the 2 films using on Nick and Judy. Requesting anyone who spotted something I missed to add it in the comments below. 1. The terms they use for each other: "sweetheart," "darlin'," "cute." All terms used when flirting or for a romantic partner. The second film's novelization and earlier drafts emphasize the intimacy of Nick's "Carrots" nickname by having Pawbert creepily use it when he tries to ...

I thought I knew System Design until I faced this Ads Audience Targeting problem.

First Post ever, and I am on my cell. Forgive typos and formatting mistakes. I’ve run into an unexpected massive auto repair issue with my college-age daughter’s car and while I was complaining to a friend about how I can come up with the projected $3-4K to fix the car, she suggested I take a look at FB Marketplace for a potential cheaper option. I was super skeptical but my friend swears she’s found a couple of good used car deals for under $2K. Fine - what do I have to lose? First red flag - most of the advertised prices are actually suggested down payments and most of the sellers appear to be smaller predatory “buy here pay here” dealers. So, I avoid those obvious dealer post...

Mutilator 2 (2023) The 1984 (or 1985 as some list the year) slasher film the Mutilator was quite a fun film. It’s simply mindless bad movie fun. It has some solid kills and while the characters are more or less your typical characters seen in these films, but the cast while sure not great actors, but they are fun to watch. The Mutilator for a long time was hard to come by until Arrow Video released a Blu-ray in 2016. The Mutilator was one of those slasher films I was well aware of, but eluded me until the Arrow release. While I wouldn’t rate it as a top-tier slasher, but it’s a film I often revisit as it’s again quite fun, but I don’t think anybody was really begging for a sequel,...

I’ve been digging into the UK government’s “earned settlement” consultation and, honestly, the way they’re treating dependants of Skilled Workers is brutal and completely unfair. Right now, if you’re a Skilled Worker, your partner and kids can settle with you after 5 years, as long as everyone meets the usual conditions. It’s simple and logical: you came as a family, you settle as a family. Under the new earned settlement model, that basic principle is basically being binned. *** ### 1. Dependants are being cut loose from the main applicant The proposal is that **adult dependants (partners and kids once they’re 18) will have to “earn” settlement completely in their ...

If you’ve read my previous posts, I recently went on a “date”… I think. He wants to hangout again and do something similar. We’d go to a different coffee shop and a different thrift store. But if anyone has any other ideas let me know. I’m gonna doll up more for this one maybe, or dress down to see if he gets icked out lol

Hey folks! I just started a new job as a university professor and need a wardrobe refresh. The department vibe is informal, but I like to dress well and want to make a good impression as the new person. **What I'm looking for:** * Casual long-sleeve button-down shirts * Will be wearing both tucked and untucked * Pairing primarily with vintage wool slacks * Budget: \~$100 per shirt I have a large collection of vintage (mostly 90s) button-down shirts I've thrifted over the years, but they're getting worn out and many don't fit particularly well anymore. I don't have time to scour thrift stores like I used to, so I'm looking for new brands that capture that same...

Hi All, This is probably a super simple question and answer; I just don't know where to ask it. For a while, I put all my daily BXP from Treasure Hunter Keys into Summoning. Now I have more than enough stored BXP in Summoning to reach 120, and I'm not going for 200m. Is there a way to withdraw some of that BXP from Summoning and apply it to other skills? Even if I get less than a 1:1 return on it? Thanks!

\*Sally had woken up on the day of love. Valentine’s Day wasn’t particularly the most fun holiday, though it was always great to spend time with her friends back in her world. She wondered what they were doing in this moment. Did they wonder where she went? Were they worried? She hoped not. She hoped they moved on. She’d be stuck here for a long time, if not forever.\* \*Sally got dressed and walked out of the Freedom Fighters base. She walked into a grocery store within Sunset Heights. There were couples all over the place today. Sally found a heart shaped box full of chocolates. She was gonna get them for herself. As she approached the cashier she set the box on the counter not thin...

I work for a chain gas station. The one I work for primarily runs in the New England area. But the corporation owns about 5-7 other brands across the country. I’ve been at this company for almost 4 years at this point. I got hired in as a basic team member. 3 months into the job I was promoted to a lead role. I’ve held that position since. Even when they threatened to take it away bc of their own failures. In the 3.5 years I’ve gone thru 4 store managers. Manager one ran the store PERFECTLY. She wouldn’t take any shenanigans or goofing off but was kind and cared about her team. She would write people up if she needed to. People did have their problems with her but that comes with an...

Have been waiting for Toyfair for a few months to see what's coming this year and while there is some stuff to like, a lot of it feels like it's going in a different direction. Always see wishlists before these NECA showcases and usually know that the people who make them are going to be disappointed. I really don't expect anything from these shows anymore but always hope there will be a few cool surprises and revisiting of licenses NECA used to have with Cult Classics. Love to see Jason Takes Manhattan after all these years but beyond that, every year it feels like NECA isn't that interested in getting back licenses or doing updates of a lot of 80s and 90s stuff. The o...

As time goes by, I increasingly despise most of the community that once made me feel welcome. I joined the alternative community in my early teens, around age 12. I'll be 17 this year. I liked to be guided by the clothing of the artists I saw in albums, and over time, I learned about political ideologies, alternative history, subcultures, etc. Currently, I identify as belonging to the gothic subculture. But with each passing day, I feel that the alternative community is no longer alternative. For the most part. I'm not talking about them starting to find the clothing bizarre. I'm talking about them dressing in an "alternative" way but no longer being interested in ...

I've been working at my store for 8 years. I've started working while in college and continue to work there after graduating and not having my degree work out to anything. I live at home currently but still contribute to rent and groceries. I can't fully complain because I know some people are in worse off situations but it's frustrating and I think I'm reaching my breaking point. One of the things that pisses me off the most is the random **** *** schedules. Working 6-7 days a week should not amount to less than 35 hours a week. Then if I'm unable to work that many days suddenly I get cut down to less than 20 hours for not being "flexible" enough. I&...

I made Marble's Marbles in less than 2 months and in the first month of sales it has a gross of over $30K! Here is the steam page for the game [https://store.steampowered.com/app/4137920/Marbles\_Marbles/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4137920/Marbles_Marbles/) If you don't have time to watch here is a quick summary It sold 4.3K units with a 6.5% return rate. Most people say your game being less than 3 hours is dooming you excessive refunds but mine is a 2 hour game for most people and hasn't been a problem for me with a low return rate. Most of the returns aren't related to length. I launched with 5.8K wishlists. Until a week before launch it was a bit less tha...

After taking off a long and dry January, it occurred to me as I picked up my glass again that I want to get back into reviewing after having done over 2600 beer reviews on the now defunct Ratebeer, and though there are plenty of reviews for whiskey on reddit, few, if any, center on the whiskies of Oregon. To that end, I plan to highlight the spirits both coming out of Oregon but also store picks that come into the Portland metro area given how much variance there is from one bottle to the next. (And especially if those picks are available still and/or are worth your attention. Recommendations always appreciated!) I'll use the Michael Jackson's (Whiskey guy, not the singer) format o...

I used to be the king of elaborate planning. Color-coded spreadsheets, perfectly structured Notion pages, and detailed timelines for everything. Then I'd never actually start the thing. Turns out I'm not alone; like 70% of people who set goals never even take the first step because they're stuck in what researchers call "analysis paralysis." After diving deep into behavioral psychology research, reading way too many books on procrastination, and actually testing this stuff myself, I realized overplanning isn't preparation; it's avoidance dressed up as productivity. Your brain loves planning because it gives you the dopamine hit of progress without the disc...

Hi All, I ordered an outfit from Meliora closet https://melioracloset.store/?country=IN on 15-Jan. I didnt like the piece when I tried it on and attempted to return it. There is only one way to communicate with the company regarding any query or customer support. It is via email. I sent them an email on 19-Jan (with in the timelines for return as mentioned on their website) that I want to return the product. They replied on 20th asking some additional details. I sent them those details on 21st. They asked for the unboxing video. I replied them that I don’t have the unboxing video but the product is in same condition in as it was when received. There was no quality issue with the product...
