Private lounge

Enough windows to classify it as a fishtank

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

They didn't want anyone wanking inside.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

I’d be more scared of the people wanking outside

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Why then elevate it to a spectacle?

Should I invest in this idea?

Would it be broken in a day... Maybe...

Would it be worth a try? Also maybe...

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do people even go to malls anymore?

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Do you want me to stream our mall? It's very active

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, I was just wondering I haven't been to one in probably a decade and no one I know talks about going there and a lot of them around here have closed down

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd go shopping more. That's better than doom scrolling my phone, but I'm quite sure those would be occupied by kids.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're an adult bigger stronger faster! Simply assert wrist control and that baby is yours!

Kidnapping is a crime.

Why even bring him at all?

[–] piyuv@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You need muscle to carry bags after you’re done

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, designated pack mule.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I go to the mall with my wife because we both need dinner together after. Normally I don't like going into women's underwear stores/ bed bodyworks or Sephora because if I start wondering, then women look at me like I'm some creeper. At this point I like to go into a fishtank box and play video games.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I embrace that vibe. Find the freaked out ones and see if I can make em flee the store then go back to the missus like nothing happened

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

等你吧 (děng nǐ ba) - (I'll) wait for you, or (I'm) waiting for you, possibly punning on 吧 as a transliteration of 'bar". So it's like "the waiting for you bar" or "I'm waiting for you at the bar".

[–] Prime_Minister_Keyes@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Алла, я в бар
"Alla [common female first name], I'll be at the bar." That's an apocryphal practical joke which I heard from a Russian. It becomes clearer once you start shouting "Alla yav bar!" in an airport.

We used to just have arcades.

On the one hand, I bet it's not all super loud in that booth. On the other, I'd prefer a blacklight-lit neon arcade to the super bright white lights of the mall's concourse.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

Man I love arcades

ITT: Gender philosophers getting upset at a man playing videogames while his wife shops in peace.

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Was going to say why doesn’t he stay home, but now there’s the benefit of him accompanying his wife in the less secure areas between mall and car.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Or mall and the 30 min walk home while carrying shopping bags.

Left hand facing camera, no wedding band.

In all likelihood this can be retitled: Person plays games at the mall.

[–] colebrodine@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

Not saying you're wrong, but I'm married and I never wear my wedding band unless its a special occasion. I know too many people that lost a finger because of it. My wife doesn't care and I'm just used to not wearing it. People still seem to figure out that we're married.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 2 weeks ago

That's kind of a dickish way of describing it but yeah, makes sense for any group really to split up and do their own thing in a space like that.

[–] portuga@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Well it looks better than standing outside the shop holding her purse

[–] lefty7283@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Every store needs a man zone

This is a good reminder of how glad I am not to be straight.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

If I had a wife, I would want to spend more time with her. But, that's just me. It's not like I am ever gonna get a gf, let alone a wife.

Still it's kinda funny.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 8 points 2 weeks ago

If you had a wife you might find that sometimes you want to do your own things but still kinda be near each other, and that's okay. It's lovely to have another person in your life you can share shit with but it's also lovely to be able to say 'you like this, I like that, I'll see you in an hour and a half for dinner and the movie' or whatever.

And chin up on the gf front. You might have better luck just finding someone you like spending time with than someone who's your 'all and everything'. Like, that latter shit is unsustainable.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're not supposed to spend every minute with your SO. Relationships need space.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. I understand that. This feels rather weird to me. If you want to play games, it can be done at home. Again, it is just what I think. I am sure, I can be wrong about it too.

[–] reptar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If it's around the corner from the lingerie store, I'll use it. Or at least when I was younger. Not sure if igaf now.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Didn't care then, don't care now. It's only clothes and I wasn't there to oogle anyone.

[–] reptar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Of course. Younger me was just very self conscious

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm surprised it's fully transparent all around.
