Private lounge

Enough windows to classify it as a fishtank

They didn't want anyone wanking inside.

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

I’d be more scared of the people wanking outside

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months 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 months ago (1 children)

Do people even go to malls anymore?

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months 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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Why even bring him at all?

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

You need muscle to carry bags after you’re done

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

Yes, designated pack mule.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months 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 2 months 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

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months 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.

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

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 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

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

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months 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 months 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 2 months 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 18 points 2 months 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 months ago

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

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 months 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 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months 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 months 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 months 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 months ago

Of course. Younger me was just very self conscious

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago

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

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

Every store needs a man zone

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 5 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Or... maybe consider enjoying the time talking with your SO? Take her to some of the shops you like? Or you both like*?

*Assuming that it isn't some shitass arranged marriage crap, you actually love each other and have common interests.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 9 points 2 months ago

Most of my time spent at the mall with a SO was watching them look at clothing for hours and them helping me pick something out in minutes. There weren't really any stores that interested me and It's not an activity I would have ever chosen to do myself, but they liked it so it was just one of those things I bit the bullet on. Sometimes I'd bring them along when I went to a hardware store or hobby shop to look at something but even then the time spent was way in their favor because I usually knew what I was looking for ahead of time and would get in and get out.

[–] 1ns1p1d@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

I wasn't going to invite you to any parties anyway, but now I'm definitely not. Honestly, we're going to have to introduce sense-of-humor lessons at school.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Reading deep into this much? No reason to go balls deep

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

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