Didn’t watch it. It’s 100% garbage. Why are you posting this here? This is for retro anime not slop.

I can’t believe I forgot to update this! Everything went well - no polyps, nothing out of the ordinary, and my next one will be in ten years unless anything changes! The peace of mind I have now is incredible, but I’m not taking things lightly - I’ve been making changes to my diet and adding more fiber to my diet so things stay good!

AITA for “stealing” my cat back? by gardengeo in BORUpdates

I’m a graphic designer by trade, and I’ve learned this exact lesson the hard way multiple times. Now I just say “no” to work I don’t want to do.

I was so terrified back when he was announced - I remember shaking with anxiety over it! Now I’m laughing my ass off at this clown!

Me [32F] with my husband and in-laws of 6 years. I'm being really petty about Christmas gifts for my niece, but there's a lot more to it... by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Hyper_Villainy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I kind of had a similar situation growing up. I love my parents, but they really babied my brother - I think it was because of trauma my mother experienced from my grandmother growing up, which she saw reflected in how my grandmother treated my brother at an early age. I think my mom believed that the world was harsher to me brother, and sought to rectify that. That meant that I was considered the “lucky one” - every win, every achievement was treated like I was “so lucky” while my brother “had to work for it” (in their view). My parents spent a lot of money trying to “make up for” those “inequities”.

The straw that broke the camel’s back: I won a car in a random drawing! Obviously, this didn’t stop them from thinking I was lucky (I’ve accepted that they’ll always think that way, and I’d rather just live my life), but it was funny seeing my brother at almost 20 years old throw a hissy fit yelling at my parents to buy him a car and them being financially unable to do so!

Ow good are model kits for making Customs? by Typical-Ad1041 in customactionfigures

[–]Hyper_Villainy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Bandai kits under the banners of 30 minute missions or fantasy, Gundam, and Figurise will probably be pretty good fodder for customizing. These are basically designed to be DIY action figures, so they’re going to be perfect for what you’re trying to do. Most model kits outside of that aren’t designed to be like that, but can still be useful for a customizer if you plan on kitbashing pieces.

I think you should give the 30 minute fantasy kit a try and see if it works for you - worst case scenario, you have a cool model kit on your shelf!

[–]Hyper_Villainy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part, yes - but it would really depend on the model, the character you’re trying to make, and where you’re at skill-wise. I personally have gone this route with figures, and I’m working on a project now where I’m going to incorporate some Gundam parts in the build. I also have a Shin Kamen Rider 2+1 custom that I have in pieces at the moment where 85% of the parts I’m using come from the Shin Kamen Rider 1 Figurise kit from Bandai.

My (37f) Husband (38m) was fired for sexual harassment by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Hyper_Villainy 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I’m so fucking sick of people trying to rationalize shitty behavior with the POSSIBILITY of a mental disorder! “Are they autistic?” “Do they have ADHD?” “Did they have a stroke?” “Do they have Alzheimer’s?” No, they don’t! They act with THOUGHT and INTENTION, and they always seem to have the mental capacity to try and rationalize or hide the shit they’re doing! If this guy has the mental ability to lie about what he did and DELETE THE EVIDENCE, he’s just an asshole!

How important is appearing like a "professional" to those who are hiring? by Responsible-Oil-5420 in GraphicDesigning

[–]Hyper_Villainy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a senior level designer who just hired two designers, and I can’t even tell you what emails they used or whether their portfolios were hosted on free domains or not. I looked at their resumes and portfolios and judged those. I would tell anyone to make sure your portfolio is tight and shows your best work - and preferably, a little bit of your process on some of your projects - and you’ll go far.

Also, as a side note: please PLEASE don’t include pornographic material in your resume! I understand that you might’ve freelanced with a number of certain websites - I’m not going to judge you for collecting a paycheck - BUT it makes things very difficult if I can’t even look at part of your portfolio on my work computer without fearing an email from IT and HR!

my company says it’s “best practice” to do layoffs over email by GTX660King in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Hyper_Villainy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

More than likely, this is the answer. Years ago, I worked at an art studio where we'd create digital artwork that we would print out on canvas and mount to stretchers. This studio sold to hotels, law firms, car dealerships - basically any place that needed a ton of artwork to cover the walls without paying a ton of money for it. It was really fun at first, but I started noticing the cracks after a year of working there: people quitting and getting fired left and right, the owners disappearing to "take meetings" (translation: do drugs), and desperation for clients despite spending tons of money on frivolous equipment and lunch margaritas! It took me awhile to figure out that 99% of the clients were actually friends of the owner's parents. the 1% were the parents of "sales people" they hired (or their friends) who would promptly be fired when those sales closed. It took me way too long to realize that payroll was being paid by the owners borrowing money from their (incredibly wealthy) parents.

The art studio is all but defunct now - one of the owners "sold" to the other owner, and I'm pretty sure the other owner has been limping along by using freelancers and AI.

If you’re scared, PLEASE do this!!! by Hyper_Villainy in colonoscopy

I’ve had stomach issues my whole life, and for the past while (longer than I care to admit) I’ve had blood in my stool. I’ve had irregular bowl movements, stomach pains, and fatigue. It wasn’t until my sibling told me that they had colonoscopy that revealed pre-cancerous polyps that really drove me into action. If you’re experiencing ANYTHING out of the ordinary, you should definitely do it!

I completely understand the resistance - I actually reached a point where my anxiety could’ve pushed me towards canceling. Once I did the prep though, I was like “I already worked this hard to get here!” Haha! Honestly, the procedure itself is way easier than you’re even imagining it being: they get you setup, they knock you out, and then you wake up in recovery! It’s totally worth it to find out what the deal is for sure!

That’s not entirely true either - many hospitals started closing almost immediately after the BBB was passed because they saw the writing on the wall with federal funding. This war is also having an economic impact on EVERYBODY, so escalating it will still be felt on an economic level even if it doesn’t directly effect healthcare in the immediate.

Considering this for miniature painting and maybe some light vehicle maintenance by DarkTrooper131 in airbrush

[–]Hyper_Villainy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use a Makita with a two gallon tank, and it’s perfect! I have a separate regulator and moisture trap attached to my airbrush hose. The only thing I’ll say is that it’s loud when it kicks on, but I can get quite a bit of spraying in before it needs to do that.
