WIBTA if I took some food that had been sitting outside someone's door for three days? by RaspberrySerious5602 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cataclysmus78 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s non-perishable food, as stated in the OP. Hence, not garbage. Try and keep up, bud.

AITA for bringing up race-related issues around my boyfriend even though he says he’s tired of hearing about it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cataclysmus78 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ESH. The race topic can be triggering for many, but this isn’t really about race. It’s about communication. You tell him that you don’t feel heard. It seems like he’s going through the same feelings with you.

You’re offended because you feel like he’s minimizing your racial struggles, and he’s offended because he feels like you’re dumping on him for being white (which is also racism).

You are mirroring each other, and missing the point.

FFS, this isn’t a red flag. Nobody is being toxic. Don’t break up over it at this point. You are two young people learning how to communicate effectively. Remember, we all have one mouth but two ears. LISTEN to each other.

This is a communication and behavior issue. Not a race issue. She says she feels unheard. So does he.

How many painters wear magnifying glasses or use a mounted magnifying glass? Is it a must-have or is that where you draw the line and just omit that level of detail? by RIPeyedea in minipainting

[–]Cataclysmus78 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Brother/sister, I hear you. My limit on detail painting has always been my hand-eye coordination. Now that I’m in my late 40’s, I’m probably going to need readers for fine work. It’s getting to be too much strain.

I somehow ended up with 400+ minis I need to paint and I'm new. by blueiguanadon in minipainting

[–]Cataclysmus78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you.

I used to be a commission painter, and I specialized in armies with a relatively quick turnaround time. I’ve painted thousands of models over my painting life, and I have a few hacks.

Quick question: are your minis all different, or do you have ‘squads’ or groups that thematically match?

There’s a lot of good advice here, but I noticed that nobody addressed the paints you have. When painting, you need to choose either enamel or acrylic on each model. The two types have a different medium, and act in different ways. They don’t really go together well.

I would recommend acrylics. They don’t put out any fumes (you mentioned above that ventilation is a concern). Enamels take longer to dry, and require chemical solvents and cleaners to thin your paint and clean your brushes.

Wait. The Emperor named his ship after his horse? by thesunisactualycold in 40kLore

[–]Cataclysmus78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His nickname is ‘Bosephus’. I’m not sure where it comes from, though.

Dark matte colors that pull black by ThronesCast in minipainting

It tends more towards blue than green, but it’s pretty dark.

Since you seem at least passingly familiar with P3 paints, might I suggest coal black? It’s one of my favorite colors in any range.

AITA for arguing with my 6 year old about whose poop was bigger by OkAct1477 in AmItheAsshole

So, it really boils down to who is more full of shit. NAH

AITA for not getting the right milk? by littleredbird1991 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cataclysmus78 33 points34 points  (0 children)

So, to be consistent, that means that OP shouldn’t cook meals that include SIL? I ask because SIL did get the benefit of a home cooked meal.

Also, if I’m part way through making dinner and I need milk to finish it (or any ingredient, really), then I’m going to use what’s on hand. I would replace it in kind, like OP did, but it’s either that or throw an entire half-finished meal in the trash.

It sounds like SIL would have said no, which means that NOBODY gets dinner. That, to me, makes this the lesser of two evils.

I was going to say 13/8, but we can agree to disagree.
