Private lounge

Enough windows to classify it as a fishtank

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 49 points 6 days ago (3 children)

They didn't want anyone wanking inside.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 26 points 6 days ago

I’d be more scared of the people wanking outside

Why then elevate it to a spectacle?

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 5 days ago

Man I love arcades

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 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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.

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 6 days ago (1 children)

Do people even go to malls anymore?

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 5 days 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

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

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days 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 5 days 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 day 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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Why even bring him at all?

[–] piyuv@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You need muscle to carry bags after you’re done

[–] absGeekNZ 7 points 5 days ago

Yes, designated pack mule.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 8 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days 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 6 days ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 6 days 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.

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 days ago

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

Every store needs a man zone

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.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days 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.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 8 points 5 days 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.

[–] reptar@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days ago

Of course. Younger me was just very self conscious

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io -2 points 6 days ago (5 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 6 days 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 4 points 6 days 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.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You think it's not okay to spend personal time away from your SO?

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hell no. But if you are going to the mall with them, at least make an attempt.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can think of a few reasons one partner would want to be off alone for a bit, or where the other person is going to just be standing there saying nothing bored for a bit because the person shopping needs to concentrate on what they're going to buy. If I'm honest going to a big mall like this is not something we'd do on a regular basis these days and getting the hell out of it would probably be high on our priority list, so in all likelihood we'd have split to sort anything that could be sorted independently so we could spend some time doing something we actually enjoy.

That would be the "make an attempt" part, yes.

I can play video games at home. Paying to play video games in a mall does not constitute "an attempt".

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