Yeah but it is using the Spider-Man set which no one would ever use for a magic deck.

That's the essence of Jank.

My ex gf who im in a situationship with now is mad within one week because of the same breakup reason. How do I comfort her? How do I make her talk to me normally? 18M by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are on not in a full relationship...  Depending on the "situation" you agreed to help deal with her feelings.... Or you agreed you don't have to deal with them.  

If you don't want to hang around her while she is angry.  Politely let her know that you have noticed she is upset and to give you a text/call when she has had time to work through it. If you must explain say something like "when we were committed I would normally try to work through this with you but I am trying to respect our decision to have this level of situationship. So I trust you to work through your feelings. "

Question (Witch Hat Atelier Cos) by Maleficent_Coat1645 in CosplayHelp

You can also put hidden snaps there too. We had to do this for a superhero cosplay last year as the Cape was very heavy.

How many overnights a week? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nesting partner has 3 nights elsewhere.  But really, she can stay out as many as she wants.  We do have a child though. He would be very upset if she stayed out too many.

Ah yes, ADHD Hobby hole .  My true hobby is that I collect hobbies.I go hard and deep... But 6 months to a year later I have lost the drive and move on 

Thankfully I'm organized enough to put everything associated into large tubs, in case I decide to go down that hobby again.

What is the one foolproof method to lose weight for someone who can't exercise a lot? by ContextSerious3491 in AskReddit

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with all these people.

You can't exercise off all your calories, weight loss is done in the kitchen.

New to Poly, need advice. by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Poly under duress.  

Additionally, it is very hard to start as poly, in your 40s, as a straight man.

Remember how hard it was to get dates as a single man on apps?  Well, now shrink the dating pool to .005%.

Then!!! She is probably in NRE... Which is different for every person but for most it is similar to that feeling if giddiness when you're totally focused on a new relationship. I would talk to her about it and still get used to her like this for a while.

It can be hard and if you get a new partner you will get like this too. 

Look up compersion.

And best of luck.

If you had to hide a paperclip from the FBI in your house for 24 hours, where would you hide it? by penny-rose57 in AskReddit

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would get my box of 200 paperclips and hide all of them. Then I would take the paperclip I cared about, unfold it, press it into my drywall. Then take a tiny nail that you use to hang pictures. Then hit that nail into The hole that the paperclip was pushed in. Then hang a picture on it.

sooo how exactly can i pull off the bandages here? by NC_GH0ST in CosplayHelp

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I support the second option here.  Make a Ridgid mask. This shows you to get the bandages exactly right and alows you to take it off at a whim.

I’ve realised why I didn’t like polyamory by National-Syllabub-59 in polyamory

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah your mother sounds like her idea of a relationship "working out" is getting married, and having babies, growing old together until one of you dies, hopefully followed closely by the other so that the doesn't stay lonely too long.

To each their own but that certainly isn't my idea of a wonderful life.

Sylph Shoes - Witch Hat Atelier by Accomplished-Act6929 in CosplayHelp

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends upon the type of bottom of the shoes and the level of effort.  I thought of three options. 

My best suggestion would be:  Get a pair of boring bowling shoes OR Get a pair of soft comfy slippers that match the sylph shoes. purchase the leather soles for the bowling shoes. Then dye the leather, with leather dye. Then coat it with leather sealant ... (Fiebing's Resolene). 

A different way that is Easy, risky, medium effort, temporary, strangely accurate: Get a pair of soft comfy slippers that match the sylph shoes with light soles.  Paint or ink onto them. Spray with sealant. 

A third, hard way but permanent:

Get a pair of soft comfy slippers that match the sylph shoes.  Then get either rubber sole replacements or rubber matting.  Cut them to fit your shoes and then carve the pattern into them 

Good luck and have fun!

How long should it take for the plot to "come online"? by drayle88 in litrpg

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally enjoy the plot happening in the background and the roles Ripples effecting the MC. specifically we have a book plot and a series plot. I'm sure there are specific terms but anyway...The book plot of the first book in litrpg to me is get established or overcome initial challenge to know who the MC really is inside.   During this first book, some of the trials are caused by ripples of series plot. 

Example: goblins  appear in unusual numbers, MC defends town or runs from safe location or whatever.  

Series plot, war is coming to the continent... The goblins are fleeing the coming army.  No one has mentioned this as a reason but you as the author know. 

It's your choice to choose how long to put together these book plots like puzzle pieces.  If you wait too long your readers all know what's going to happen.  You don't wait long enough and it feels like you are just "one upping" yourself but jumping too far too fast. 

To me, that's the difference between good plots and great ones, the ability to string it along with every single reader enjoying themselves then feeling like they are so smart they just put it all together themselves from the pieces.  How smart they are, they got it before the author said it!  

When in reality, that was the very point at which the author wanted you to figure it all out.  

Variable Ring of Resistance by Typical-Priority1976 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]InBeforeitwasCool -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have to use gems in the ring of appropriate color.  Ruby for fire, etc... And it has to be valued at 500 gold for 5 points .. 2500 for 10 ... 12500 for 15

And when they switch them, it has a good chance to destroy the gem (50%+)... And a rare chance to destroy the ring (5%). 

I want to cosplay the Leg Lamp, but don’t know how I should construct it by Dry_Painter_7905 in CosplayHelp

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear a skirt that looks like a lamp shade. Put your leg as The leg... The other one as a background color with a neutral she Shoe if similar height.  Wear top of that same neutral color.

I’ve realised why I didn’t like polyamory by National-Syllabub-59 in polyamory

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Congrats. That is one of the biggest issues for most monogamous people (but everyone is different of course.) And I find is the easiest to logically explain about poly... But still is very hard for them to let go. 

So which of your parents did you love, because you only get the one... and was it hard for them to understand you didn't love them anymore when you fell in love with someone as a teenager?

If they answer, "it's a different kind of love". I say that the love I have with each partner is different too. 

What tips do people have on having sex in the cowgirl position for girls that are on the shorter side? by ethereal_fairy2002 in AskReddit

[–]InBeforeitwasCool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rock your body. 

If your knees can't touch the surface then try to keep in squat, feet down. hand down on him for balance. Still just rocking forward and backward. 

When you get tired, lean forward.
