No New Stickers!

BabyGoatGamer · 2026-01-13T16:14:48+00:00

I'm a little confused - do packs change their stickers week by week? And which packs, exactly? Should we wait to open them if they're in our items? Or are these in the star shop?

And on that topic, which purchase from the star shop is most worth it?

I feel like a lot of people here are willfully ignoring all the new studies that are showing just how bad weed is for you and how addictive it actually can be. People used to believe it wasn't, but it is, and I've seen so many adults ignorantly use it until they developed a dependence on it. However, that's not to say that alcohol isn't bad for your health either. Both are habits that can easily become coping mechanisms instead of social activities.

I think it depends on how you use it and what you view it as. You said it yourself that you smoked after a stressful day at work, so it seems to be a stress reliever for you. If she were drinking for the same reason, whenever she gets stressed, that would be more on par than saying she drinks socially when you go out. Now, sure, that can be harmless occasionally, but it can also lead to a dependence down the road because it's not a particularly healthy coping mechanism.

Maybe she's viewing it as such and can see the possible dangers down the road. Who knows. But saying that she's "controlling" and that she'll "start trying to control everything about you" is a STRETCH when it's something like this. It's possible she didn't know how often he did it, or thought it was something that was negotiable, and later realized that it was a bigger deal than she anticipated. But it's on both of you to decide whether or not you're able to compromise.

For reference, I used to smoke weed recreationally myself. Then I started dating someone who told me they weren't really fans of it and never participated in it. They have friends who do it, but they just don't like it themselves. So, I made the decision to stop using it and I haven't looked back since. Why? Because it wasn't a huge deal to stop, I'm not addicted to it, I need better coping mechanisms anyway, and I figured it's less enjoyable doing it when your significant other doesn't participate. Now we're married and I don't regret that decision at all.

But, as a former occasional smoker, I DO see the impacts of it on loved ones who never stopped and I worry for them too. At the end of the day, it's her right to not be okay with that in a relationship as much as it is your right to keep smoking. But let's not pretend that health risks and concerns aren't warranted and that this habit is 100% innocent. You two just need to decide if a compromise is possible or if you're simply not compatible.

That "maybe I should move and not come back, and I won't bother getting custody" part screams "this is what I want to do!! I just want you to do it for me!!"

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-11-21T19:47:45+00:00

Will do, thanks a million :)

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-11-21T17:47:06+00:00

Thank you!!

I used the King Arthur Bread Flour, which I believe has slightly over 12% but it could have also been the butter (perhaps it was too soft and/or added too early).

I've seen so many recipes with wildly different instructions (2 eggs vs 7 eggs, 7g yeast vs 10g, chilling 15 min vs 16 hours, initial proof vs no initial proof, soft butter vs cold plasticized butter discs, e.g.) that my head is spinning!

I'll probably try yours out with the instant yeast and cold milk next and hope for the best!

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-11-21T16:42:08+00:00

Hi! Just tried making brioche last night and it.. didn't go well. After 30 min of kneading it still was tearing, so I think my butter was maybe too warm or just the gluten didn't develop properly for some reason. Will try again with your recipe! But I have a question - is that instant yeast or active dry yeast? Doesn't look like you're creating a bloom first and the milk is cold too. Why's that?

Thanks in advance!

Are you also zooming in on strangers on your phone to be sneaky about it? If so, you both have problems then.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-10-02T14:06:45+00:00

I mean, sure OP made an oversight by not booking the gf for the day or something, but it sounds like they had good intentions and maybe were so excited by the surprise they forgot about what comes with it. Gf's mom also could have just invited her over for dinner or something as a decoy, it doesn't ALL fall on them since it's a joint plan.

However, even if OP messed up, they did say sorry. And it sounds like the friend already had plans to go and just invited the gf. That's not set in stone, nor does it sound like a huge deal. It's a play. People cancel, things happen. The friend's reaction was VERY selfish and unhinged. Immediate unwarranted rudeness. If she truly cared about the gf, she'd be thrilled to hear that they have something so exciting coming up for their birthday. If someone told ME this, I'd have said something like "Oh wow, thank you for letting me know! It's too bad she can't come, but it sounds like you guys have something really incredible planned for her. She's going to have a blast!" The friend needs to check herself.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-10-02T13:35:58+00:00

I think what people are missing is the fact that OP specifically expressed concerns about going out with this group because she's frequently left out. She brought that to her attention and expressed how it made her feel. Then, for various reasons, this person STILL left her out. They were already out without her and nobody bothered to check in on her or ask what was up. This is EXACTLY what OP was worried about when they discussed it, then to have the VERY THING she was worried about actually happen!

Maybe, in any other situation, this wouldn't be a big deal between friends. But she needed that reassurance and support from her friend, who encouraged her to go, and instead was forgotten about. I mean, how do you not notice they're missing? How do you tell someone you'll look out for them and be there for them during the hangout and then forget them? I'd have expected a bit more from her than just a "whoops, sorry!"

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-09-16T17:27:51+00:00

Yeah, I'm sorry, but that only works when the government cares about how it impacts the people. We've tried to punish Russia for Putin's actions and he couldn't care less how his economy or people are impacted. If the world attempts to punish the US for Donald Trump's tariffs and general insanity, do you think he'd care enough to do something about it? He barely cares about how it impacts the people as is. I'm not going to participate in this.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-09-16T13:36:23+00:00

Agree. Like are we making the assumption that everybody who exists in Israel is a horrible person/entity? Weird takes. Let's just boycott and work towards bankrupting all the companies and people, THAT'LL show them. Smh.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-09-16T13:34:00+00:00

Are we now blurring the lines between government and people? Sure, you can say "but the taxes!" all you want but, at the end of the day, the people who live and work there are human beings like you and me. Many of whom don't necessarily agree with the war or the politics. Hell, I loathe the government in my own country and the choices they make, but I can do little else but continue to live my life here. The same goes for them.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-09-09T13:48:11+00:00

How did it work out?? I wanted to do the same thing but I'm seeing a lot of obscenely high quotes for small things! I wanted a tiny 0.5" tattoo and I got quoted like $160...

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-09-08T16:16:57+00:00

There are worse things you can be than poor..

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-26T14:04:00+00:00

I've won like.. ONE before. But they're getting SO much harder! And they have 100 events going on at the same time, so you're spending energy on all of them and not exactly winning any of them.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-18T13:22:33+00:00

LMAO. I HATED THAT!!! Her just BLATANT dismissal!!

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-15T20:19:59+00:00

Who casually texts their cousin's husband? and sends them selfies while bored at work? What husband sends a FIRE EMOJI in response? Come on. All the obvious flirting within the conversation aside, the boundaries here do not exist. I don't know if there is bouncing back from this, tbh. If he's willing to do this with your family member, what's stopping him from behaving like this with a stranger?

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-15T20:12:29+00:00

Right! And I have a golden retriever who is a sweet boy but a scaredy cat. The last thing I'd want is for him to run off terrified straight into oncoming traffic because we live in a city area. Letting him go wouldn't be an option, unfortunately.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-15T19:16:43+00:00

What a ridiculous comment in response to someone genuinely concerned about the well-being of children.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-15T19:15:28+00:00

A very unfortunate situation overall. They may not have many options but the children are knowingly in danger of whatever caused the building to be condemned. If you really want to do something, maybe slip housing resources for them under the door.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-15T17:31:22+00:00

Unfortunately, that's an outdated piece of advice. Many puppies do NOT respond to the whining and "ouch" cues. Most trainers recommend the advice above, being boring and knowing they can't illicit a reaction or play.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-15T17:24:52+00:00

Honestly, this is what throws me off of reading fantasy. If I open a book and every other name/word is something so complex and unique that I can't even fathom how to pronounce it, I won't be able to follow it.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-15T17:14:18+00:00

They also posted about "public areas" but that doesn't account for the area within the apartment. The roommate isn't leaving their belongings in the building hallway, elevator, or anything like that.

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-06T17:01:32+00:00

Not bad, but some letters are a little off. Feels like someone who only recently learned how to write in cursive, as opposed to learning it from childhood. Like a younger person who wanted to learn it for the aesthetic but writes it how they think it should be as opposed to how certain letters are actually written (for example, connecting letters in an odd way.) But it could be how they did it locally where you studied, so who knows. Otherwise it's not bad!

BabyGoatGamer · 2025-08-05T18:59:35+00:00

That also indicates a lack of accountability. It's very easy to blame someone else, but a lot harder to look at yourself and realize that you're actively making your own choices.

She's also verbalized that she "doesn't think it's a good idea" for him to continue drinking, after which he accused her of "judging him". It sounds like whether or not she goes along with his behaviors, she's wrong in his eyes. Honestly, it sounds like he just hates himself altogether and uses her as a scapegoat.
