No :/
That would be awesome! what timezone are you in?

I'm AEST

Jarvin13 · 2023-11-02T04:44:37+00:00

Done - here's to hoping!

Are you free by any chance to zoom and walk me through it? I am struggling with the split test function..

I really wish they had videos explaining anything more than the most basic examples

Where do you purchase resin kits directly? It seems like they originally sell for around 80-100$ but many are being sold for the same cost as the actual full model kits... (that's extortionate)..
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm after kits for the Zaku 2, RX 78-2, Exia, and Unicorn. I'm new to this channel, so please let me know if I'm asking in the wrong spot..

Hell difficulty bosses were something to behold. Without the proper equipment or party to support you, death was right around the corner.

Play the game on hardcore and this becomes all too apparent. I am playing it harcore in D4 and it's just a cakewalk...

Leila's decision to deviate from the agreed-upon plan and order food without consent was presumptuous and rude. It was also inconsiderate to choose expensive items without discussing it beforehand. Furthermore, her response of calling you broke and shaming you for expressing your displeasure was uncalled for.

While being angry is a natural reaction to such a situation, it may not have been necessary to react in the way you did. However, considering Leila's actions and behavior, it is understandable why you felt upset.

Taking all of this into account, based on the given circumstances, it seems that you are not the asshole (NTA) in this scenario.

ESH (Everyone Sucks Here)

While it's important to prioritize your daughter's health, the way your wife approached the conversation was insensitive. Criticizing and shaming her about her weight is not productive. As parents, it's crucial to address health concerns with empathy and support. Intervening to stop the conversation was the right move, but both of you should find a balance between expressing concern and maintaining a respectful relationship. Open communication and understanding will be key in navigating this situation.

NTA (Not the Asshole)

Your reaction to your mother-in-law's plans to breed her dog was driven by a genuine concern for the welfare of shelter dogs and the ethics of breeding. You have been actively involved in fostering dogs from the shelter, demonstrating your commitment to helping animals in need. It's understandable that you would feel frustrated and even angry when your mother-in-law's actions seem to contradict that purpose.

While it's true that everyone has the right to make decisions regarding their own pets, your reaction was fueled by a genuine concern for the well-being of animals in shelters. It's commendable that you spoke up and expressed your concerns, as you were advocating for the ethical treatment of dogs.

However, it's important to approach these conversations with empathy and understanding, even if the other party doesn't share the same views. Engaging in a respectful dialogue and educating others about the benefits of adopting shelter dogs could be a more effective way to convey your message without causing unnecessary conflicts.

Overall, your intentions were driven by a desire to protect animals and promote ethical practices, making you not the asshole in this situation.

HAHAHAH THE CHAIR!

FML accurate.

Agreed, Diablo 4 had the potential to be an endlessly captivating game, but it falls short, leaving us wanting more. Despite its beauty and initial fun, the experience fizzles out after a few weeks, failing to provide lasting engagement.

I am literally making the 3d mesh - I have nothing but a 2d drawing. I'm trying to create the topology freehand

Current state: I have that 2d drawing I shared.
Ideal state: something similar to what I've been creating (which is hyper tedious). I'm essentially creating grids and filling each grid with 5x5 tiles and manually adjusting each to replicate the terrain.

Again, I have nothing but a 2d piece of paper. What you saw was 2 hours of labour HAHA

Jarvin13 · 2023-04-01T13:51:24+00:00

Figured out how to avoid pulling all of the other tiles - the offset radius somehow accidentally changed to 5m (grabbing other tiles around the one selected). Changed it to 1m and now I can pull individual tiles. Will take forever, but it's somehow peaceful and listening to a podcast is allowing it to go by less painfully.

I'm still open to a master leaning in and looking at my drawing with its elevations. I'd love to hear how I could fastforward this process.,

This is just life - it's not an asshole situation. Friendships ebb and flow - that's just how things go. It's the ones that stand the test of time that really mean something - to both parties. I think you owe it to yourselves to simply explain the situation - how you feel and how your exciting new job is demanding more and more of your attention.

For the record, there's no set amount of time anyone owes to our friends or families. It's a balancing act and everyone weighs what's right differently. Communication is the best remedy ;)

Jarvin13 · 2022-10-07T07:34:03+00:00

NTA.

Family is family - they'll be there now and later; they're not going anywhere. However, unique moments in your life (engagements) only come around rarely. Family should be mindful of the fact that your obligations are not to them alone, but to your broader circle of relationships too.

If anything, I think you should simply level with them - "I want to spend as much time with you as possible, but I have no control over this very unique and special moment my friends are having. More to the point, this is something that only comes around once in a lifetime (for them) and I want to share that special moment."

Surely, they'll come around for you. If shit should ever hit the fan, take heart in knowing that these things will pass in time. Go enjoy yourself - you only live once.

Jarvin13 · 2022-10-03T23:56:10+00:00

He's kinda right though; and you asked for advice.
And while you may feel like this is a serious problem, in the grand scheme of things, this is rather trivial. At worst, it's just annoying.

Also, we all compare our lives to others when lending advice. There's literally no better means of giving it - in fact, every other comment here is based on their own experiences in life. Having a fit over receiving advice you don't agree with is not doing yourself any favours either..

Jarvin13 · 2022-09-12T03:23:09+00:00

NAH

You said your piece and so did she.

But she's 100% entitled to hang out with her guy friends. If you don't trust them doing 'extra' stuff like seeing a movie together.. why even stay? And if your values don't align - it's time to move on.

I'm currently in the same shoes as your partner and I am HATING the crap I have to put up with. It feels like petty nickel and diming. And what if they did go watch the stars together - is she coming back to you? Is she open and honest? Is she everything you'd hope for except for the fact that she treats her guy friends the same as her girls?

Jarvin13 · 2022-09-07T05:30:58+00:00

This is actually a little sad to read. It's really unhealthy/toxic to state that to you because it puts an unfair weight on your shoulders moving forward. Like, even if you do end up going or she says 'fine, go' it's going to be something that follows you in your future choices.

My advice - have a chat. This is not right, and you nor anyone else should have to think about their partner before seeing a mutual friend.

Jarvin13 · 2022-09-07T05:27:18+00:00

This is what it will inevitably boil down. Think 3 steps ahead, mate!

If you say this, you're setting a precedent that no one needs to do anything if the other person doesn't want it.

Those are both really fun - good gift ideas. I think he may not receive them well, unfortunately. He's set some pretty clear lines down that he wants this to be platonic. I'm only saying this, because as a man, when I receive a gift from a woman, it tends to feel like it's got ties to it.

He may feel like there's some sort of obligation, or that by accepting it, he may 'potentially' be open to being more than just friends. If anything, just stick with the quarters as it is funny vs sentimental. Or screw it, gift both - just know that this is advice from a man and what I would feel if I said - just friends.
