Marriage is good and weddings are great but I hate modern wedding culture. You don’t need to bankrupt yourself to have a nice wedding. Stop supporting the wedding industry, stop buying outrageously priced engagement rings, stop spending 10k on a dress you’ll only ever wear once.

[tidy-tidings]

Coming from a professional event planner - weddings are egregiously expensive because companies openly raise prices at the word “wedding.” 

Pro Tip - Never drop the word wedding while planning if you don’t need to. Most things can be for “an event you’re planning.” This obviously doesn’t include things like the venue, DJ (who needs specific wedding songs), and the wedding dress company if you’re going that route versus just buying a dress.

For my wedding I got “discounted” cupcakes, flowers, decor, bridesmaids dresses, groomsman attire, and invitations. I did this by either searching for things that aren’t marketed for weddings or not telling the companies I was working with it was for a wedding. Because honestly, most of the time they don’t need to know why you’re ordering.

These companies target people planning their weddings and markup everything the second “wedding” is said. And it’s said often because people assume the services change exponentially for weddings. They absolutely do not. 

The best example are the cupcakes I had for my wedding. I used a designer cupcake store in town instead of spending $1000 on a wedding cake. If you place a large order of cupcakes with a cake tree for display - it costs about $150 for 100 (which is what I did). When you order their “wedding” package - the price raised to a $700 base for 100 cupcakes. The only other perk includes a “tasting.” Forget that. Our tasting was buying a few cupcakes in flavors we thought we’d like and picked three. It cost maybe $20. 

What these companies do is scummy and targets people who don’t have information about the event industry.

I will yell it from the rooftops until people realize there’s a better way.

I just bought a white pillar candle with some silver appliques on it and two normal white candle sticks at Michael’s for my wedding on Saturday. The pillar candle was $6, and the other candles were a buck each. Three aisles down where the wedding supplies are, you could buy a unity candle set for $30. The wedding industry is a racket.

This is a great post what makes it even better is that most of these you can get from Ninite which will download and install the latest versions of all available software ALL AT ONCE without you having to worry about adware or the annoying clutter (toolbars, changing your default search engine) that sometimes comes with their individual installers. So, yeah. Have at it folks.

I’ll add one more to this:  Winderstat If you’re like me and constantly running low on space because you are never deleting old files and have no clue what is taking up all of your space then this is for you. It scans your hard drive and shows you which files are taking up space, what kind of file they are, and where they are located so you can easily take care of them. 

Example (not mine):

It’s a life saver!

As someone who’s well acquainted with open source applications, I’m surprised Abiword isn’t on this list.

[paininmyassachusetts]

And for reading ebooks and even comic books, there’s always Calibre. It sadly isn’t on mobile, however.

Another image editor is Krita.

Here’s a free video editor, as well; I’ve never done any video editing so I can speak on if it’s any good, but here it is regardless. It’s called Kdenlive and it’s a project of the same people who made the above Krita.

And obviously there’s always the option of ditching Windows altogether and using Linux :^)

To clarify: universal background checks.

Such as at gun shows.

For all guns.

http://aliengearholsters.com/blog/universal-background-checks/ (written as of 2017)

So, no, not already a law.

[triggeredmedia]

All guns, new and used, sold by dealers at a gun show need a background check.

Private party sales sales sales do not. Has nothing to do with gun shows. It can be at home or in a Burger King bathroom.

It’s also not a loophole. The law says “this is allowed” which is the opposite if a loophole.

Can you provide any data of how many guns are bought at gun shows legally and used in a crime?

Please say no because cdc can’t research it. Please.

[feenyxblue]

For one, since it is clearly spelled out, technically its not a loophole. However it intentionally weakens the law, making it a colloquial loophole. Fair on that, its technically not a loophole, since a loophole requires a deficiency on the part of the law.

Also, thank you for informing me that the “gun show loophole” is really a private party loophole. Its called the gun show loophole since most private sales of guns occur at gun shows. That still dosen’t change that its existance means there are no universal background checks.

Finally, you are correct that the CDC cannot research it, but the ATF’s job is investigating gun shows, so I will be using their data.

-between 2002 and 2005, over 400 guns were legally purchased at gun shows at Richmond, Virginia, and were later recovered in connection with crimminal activity. This does not include unlicensed sellers, as those sales are untraceable.

-ATF agents identified gun shows as a source used by local gang members to obtain guns.

-the ATF also reported in Columbus Ohio that many of the guns recovered at high crime areas had been purchased at local gun shows.

-and the Phoenix division reported that many guns were run to Mexico, fueling the drug wars.

-Kn 2000, the ATF published “Following the Gun” and found gun shows to have the second highest number of trafficked guns per investigation. Over a third of these turned up at crime scenes.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_shows_in_the_United_States

Until the CDC is allowed to research it, this is the data we have.

[jellyjackson]

As someone who lives in the south and has been to many gun shows people are not selling amongst themselves at all really there is some trading going on but mainly people are buying from dealers most private gun deals take place at homes in my experience

I love when I’m finally able to articulate a very difficult and complicated aspect of myself and then the next day, or 2 days, or 3 days later, the person I just shared it with asks me why I do [X weird thing] (with a snide attitude, no less) like I didn’t just pour my heart out about that very thing yesterday.

Then they’re all like, “Oh, so you don’t want to talk to me? Fine,” when I don’t have the energy to do it all over again. Like I’m the asshole here because I don’t want to talk to someone with a nasty attitude about something I already talked about.

It’s even better when I know this person has been an emotional manipulator in the past, but now I can’t tell if they’re doing it deliberately, or if they’re just that fucking clueless.

Woman 'attacked and kicked' on Tube condemns two men who walked away and left her to defend herself

A fashion chief executive who claims she was verbally and physically assaulted on the Tube has condemned two male passengers for not coming to her aid. Tamara Cincik, Founder & CEO of consultancy company Fashion Roundtable, said she was attacked by an "unwell" man as she travelled from her home in Highgate to a business meeting in Old Street. But she said that two men sitting close to her did not try and help her at all and instead walked away, leaving her with the aggressive man who screamed and swore at her and kicked her.

A fashion chief executive who claims she was verbally and physically assaulted on the Tube has condemned two male passengers for not coming to her aid.

Tamara Cincik, Founder & CEO of consultancy company Fashion Roundtable, said she was attacked by an “unwell” man as she travelled from her home in Highgate to a business meeting in Old Street.

But she said that two men sitting close to her did not try and help her at all and instead walked away, leaving her with the aggressive man who screamed and swore at her and kicked her.

The mother-of-one said she was on the Northern Line Tube at around lunchtime on Monday when the alleged assault happened.

“I got on the Tube at Highgate and I was going to Old Street,” she told the Standard. “This guy gets on at Archway, he is about six foot and around 30 to 35-years-old and he started just screaming.

“At first I thought he was some sort of performance artist but then it became clear that he was not well.

“He was screaming and shouting at me and saying things like ‘I am going to f****** kick you’ then he did actually kick me. It was proper intimidating - he was a big guy and I am only size eight.”

Ms Cincik described the incident as “terrifying” and said the man was “dangerous and obviously needs help”.

But she was left furious by the lack of support shown to her by two men who were sitting on the Tube near her.

“There were two men sitting in the carriage near me who looked as though they were in their fifties,” she said.

“At one point, the guy said ‘these two aren’t going to help you, they are going to go into the next carriage and leave you’ and then that is exactly what happened, it was the strangest thing.

“When they walked out the guy shouting at me was laughing and said ‘now you’re on your own’ – it was a power trip for him.”

She said eventually a woman came and sat with her and said she would not leave her. They then pulled the emergency chord and the train came to a stop, at which point the perpetrator got off.

Ms Cincik was left shaken and shocked by the behaviour of the two commuters.

“The two men wouldn’t even look me in the eye. They left me on my own when the guy was still shouting at me. I was worried, it was really scary.

“It was disgusting that the two men didn’t do anything to help me and instead left me alone with this woman who was amazing.”

The incident was reported to police, who are investigating.

“Officers from British Transport Police are currently investigating an assault on the Northern Line which happened at approximately 12.40pm to 12.50pm on June 4,” a statement said.

“The incident is believed to have happened at Tufnell Park.

“Officers are conducting a number of enquiries are present and would ask any witnesses to contact BTP by sending a text to 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 511 of 04/06/2018.

I wish I felt sorry but I don’t. I really really want to care but I don’t. After all that’s been said and done, doing the right thing has become dangerous and we all know who made it that way. I know that’s a rough thing to say but it is what it is. 

[lastsonlost]

exactly

[phalloid-destroyer-deactivated2]

Ladies, THIS is the reason why men have this pack mentality and will never help you. Don’t rely on men. Rely on your fellow women. males will protect other males from facing any consequences from their actions against women. Aint to scrote has any kind of empathy or any other humane feeling that will side with you. that is why manosphere is full of rape fantasies and apologia, it is because whenever there is a number of uncensored men, there will be woman-hate. Their pathetic lives are nothing more than woman hating.

Never take refuge in men. They are trash.

[cecaeliawitch]

this whole post - what it describes and the men reblogging it - is the bro code in purest form. Men bragging about, enabling, excusing, and glorifying their own and other men’s violence against women

[lastsonlost]

There is no code and nobody’s bragging. All that has been said over and over you said you can’t have this negative you would attitude towards me and then expect them to risk THEIR LIFE. It’s already asking a lot to expect anyone to rest their life. If the guy gets hurt or worst that’s on them.

[cecaeliawitch]

you should try reading the article you yourself linked again if you think there was no bragging! anyways, i’m done with this deceptive framing. you can keep pretending like the only options here were for the men to leap up and defend her life with their fists or leave, but understand that i’m not fooled.

if they had just said “hey guy. stop that.” that would have been enough, instead of leaving and giving him tacit permission to do whatever he wanted with no witnesses.

[duran-duran-less-official]

“Hey guy, stop that”

- Me about 3 seconds before I received a broken nose in this scenario.

Of course, it never occurs to you or @phalloid-destroyer that the men might be equally as fearful for their safety as the woman is. “Tacit permission” my foot.

[cecaeliawitch]

look up bystander syndrome and the moral implications thereof

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

Anyway men are fucking cowards and you can never trust them to do the right thing no matter how unlikely it is that they would hurt the way the men in the thread are claiming. Women will fucking physically put themselves between an attacker and his victim, but for a man to call from a distance “stop!”, that’s just too risky! Men are weak and pathetic.

[terfsona]

Honestly did these guys not read the part where a woman came in to help lmao

[anyathelover-deactivated2020062]

Op and everyone defending op, you’re all dumbass worthless pieces of shit. That woman could have been raped, beaten, mutilated, kidnapped, or murdered, and you applaud the 2 men who did NOTHING to even attempt to prevent this. 2 men and 1-2 women stand a hell of a lot better chance of scaring the attacker away than just one lone woman. Go shove forks in your eyes op!

[lastsonlost]

Really? Are you following my conversation or the redfems? What I did was point out that those men were not obligated to lay down their lives for someone else. DONE. You don’t have to like what they did but it was their choice to make. Would I have done differently that all depends but that would be my choice.

Finally no one is condoning what she went through but at the same time don’t expect people to just come to your rescue.

-Jesus

[anyathelover-deactivated2020062]

You’re just showing again how much of a worthless crusty pile of manure you are. You would leave the room KNOWING that woman could be about to go through something horrific and brutal and might not come out alive? You ARE obligated to do anything you can to help. 2 men are very unlikely to be seriously hurt when standing up to 1 other man. They had strength in numbers and they STILL ran away like little mice. They are pure garbage and so are you. The other woman was perfectly fine defending the victim. Take that innovent bystander bullshit elsewhere- they are not innocent, they were helping the attacker by leaving him alone with her. Do me favor and cut off your fingers so you can’t type this bullshit for the world to see and spread your toxic bullshit around anymore.

[noelleian-deactivated20190923]

I do not agree with OP on this, nor the people agreeing with him, but I’ve read your comments too and you’re honestly no better.

[jellyjackson]

In china no one will help you if shit goes down do to a culture of suing anyone for anything similar to the one that is developing here I mean I think the men should of helped but there decision not to do shit so
