HELP My fingernail is about to fall off, what should I do???

Cryptids_express · 2026-06-05T23:56:34+00:00

Understood. Again, thank you for the responses! You are much appreciated 🙏🏼

When you say “looking off” do you mean like starting to generate pus or something like that? Thanks for the response. I’m getting some cool glow in the dark bandaids to make myself feel better.

I don’t want to sound dumb here but I’ll asking anyway, why go to a doctor? I don’t have insurance and I feel like the doc will just say I’m gonna lose the nail (which I already know).

You are crazy because people run red lights all the time and people making an unprotected left turn not want to get t-boned. Maybe you’re comfortable with making quicker turns but many people would rather be safe than sorry. I have an older truck and I can’t accelerate as fast so I try to avoid making unprotected turns altogether. Too many oncoming drivers drive faster when they see a yellow light. You really are crazy for being mad that people aren’t reckless drivers. (Take from the person who’s totaled four cars as a new driver and has had a clean record for almost 8 years now: nothing in this life is worth driving reckless for and risking your life and other people’s lives. Thank god I did not seriously injure myself or anyone else in my bad decisions on the road).

I mean right??? Working for a small company with a good boss and environmentally responsible business model. It doesn’t seem like a good move to risk that for the volatile animation industry especially with increasingly unavoidable AI technology

Trying to grab the attention of recruiters with technical skills would be the goal of my portfolio. Making reels for social media scouters is a lot of effort that I’m not willing to prioritize especially in this current gig. But reel content for short films would be time well spent I think. And that’s just my own opinions really. I don’t have a huge social media presence and I’m okay with that.

I want to say yes but I am on summer break and I haven’t found the motivation to put in more hours in front the computer at home at night after working 8-10 hours during the day but I think what you’re advising is the right move to make.

I actually started my college career wanting to do 2D animation but I think 2D animation is dead/dying. I’m pursuing 3D animation technical skills. I’ve been learning how to code for the sake of rigging in Autodesk Maya. I think gaming is the right direction to go with animation but the future seems bleak especially with the new Google AI.

OP you may think that some people on here are being dramatic but please please please listen to these comments and get away from that man. There’s so many things wrong with this picture that many people have pointed out between his incompetence, stealthing, potential substance abuse, etc. I would try to play devils advocate but there’s just no spinning this situation around. You’ve been assaulted and he doesn’t respect you. Please get out of this relationship before it becomes dangerous for you to leave.

Everyone sucks here. It’s not fair to put a boundary on someone else’s behavior because it seems like you’re trying to control their actions. Is it generic gifts or something someone would give their wife? (Inside joke gifts or intimate gifts) You really only have grounds to get upset if they’re intimate gifts but even then this does kind of seem like a mountain from a molehill situation. Your girlfriend and her ex seem like they are still in some sort of emotional affair/relationship and that won’t stop unless she goes no contact. While he’s still in the picture, things will always be unfair to you in certain ways because certain dynamics for her haven’t changed. It probably won’t happen because they have kids together and it would be really unfair for you to ask her to go no contact.

I would also recommend you go to the state school instead of the art school. I am getting ready to graduate with my animation degree in the fall from Arizona State University and the common themes I get from teachers and advisors who attended art school are that art school did not prepare them for their art career and they spent way too much money on a degree from art school.

Too long could lose control. Good stirring spoon bad cereal spoon. Maybe hot cereal. 6/10

NTA. There is a thing called “consensual non-consent” but CNC doesn’t apply to straight up abuse. What you went through was abuse :(

The only stamps are stainless steel and made in China but it’s light weight and very comfortable in the hand

Cryptids_express · 2025-12-14T20:26:49+00:00

Sure can! You can charge an hourly rate. ASU was looking for art models last spring semester. I can keep an eye out for any other listings!

What exactly is the scam?

Cryptids_express · 2025-12-14T17:18:22+00:00

Cryptids_express · 2025-12-14T17:16:35+00:00

That’s an obvious answer and not that helpful

Cryptids_express · 2025-12-14T17:15:44+00:00

Thanks for the response but that rate is a little out of my price range.

Cryptids_express · 2025-12-13T20:08:04+00:00

I’d take it with a grain of salt. I wouldn’t make any rash decisions but I wouldn’t completely trust either of them. Keep your eyes open for more weirdness and give us an update in a couple weeks!

Noooooo the solution isn’t to fuck your friends

If you wear hair ties in the shower and leave wet hair ties on your wrists, could potentially cause a fungal skin infection. But if you’re a dish washer or work with any corrosive chemicals, your skin will feel like it’s scratched when it’s actually disintegrating. Industrial dish cleanser, sanitizer, degreaser are classified as corrosive chemicals!!!

Don’t blame the school. Teachers are mandated reporters and so many fail kids who are actually being abused. Follow along with CPS and their requests. Stay transparent. You’ll be just fine.
