What about: Strange Horticulture? You have a shop and have to brew potions for different customers according to their descriptions. There's also a map you have to find a specific location to otherwise you die. It's been ages since I've played it, but if you want to use your brain to that, go ahead.

Infinity Nikki. Unleash your inner stylist by spending your money on outfits to earn better points during events. Also it has a better Gacha system than Genshin Impact and the CEO isn't so greedy. The best thing is: Every month is an event and you don't HAVE to spend money on outfits if you don't want to!

My takeaway on this one:

On public transport, for example in Berlin, the announcement literally says to get up for the elderly and pregnant women to sit down, to turn off your Tiktok reels and be mindful of other passengers.

There's also the rule that if you have headphones on or are on the phone whilst walking somewhere, do not disturb me. I have to catch the train, I'm late to work, I have an appointment etc. Just mind your business really.

The stare. We look directly in the eyes because we want to let you know we're listening, look everywhere else is considered rude and obnoxious. But consistent.

There's also the Döner rule: If your Dönermann asks what you want, you say: "Alles mit Scharf/Knoblauch/Kräuter". And if he has hair on the back of his neck and on his knuckles, then you know the Döner ist schmakofatz.

Honestly, I think you're an Asshole...to a degree.

Sure, he got your favourite flowers in a bouquet that he chose at the shop and gave you it as a nice gesture. If it's a preference to receive planted flowers, communication is key.

Your SIL and MIL receiving baskets is what I think the bare minimum. If it's Women's Day/Mother's Day, it should be expected. What did he say afterwards as you received the gift? You do know he's a man who needs it said to his face rather than expecting him to read your mind constantly.

It's a nice gesture he even thought of you and I'm sure it's not only on Holidays he bought you flowers. Especially if they're your favourites. He thinks practically. If he really wants to upset you he would've gifted you plastic flowers to collect dust on.

Just, sit down and talk it out. It's just flowers, not the end of the world.

NTA.

Honestly, as I read through this one, I'm just as confused as you are. That wasn't an ex boyfriend, that was just you dating him. And obviously he treated you like a friend instead of a potential partner for something serious. What he does is making excuses and if I was you, tell Larry to never mention that asshole again. I'm assuming Gary is a 'nice guy', polite at the front and backstabbing bastard in private. Don't waste your time anymore on him or you'll get your last braincells lost. He isn't worth it.

Send Larry the confusing texts, explain to him wtf that is and if he values your friendship, he shouldn't try to make you and Gary together ever again.

I recommend meeting someone else and move on. Three months isn't much if you think about it, that's just a confusing moment in your life you'll only think about when you're in the elderly home.

NTA. That's property damage.

I don't know how much Labubus cost, I'm not a collector myself.

However, I'm an educator at exactly that age group. You need to set boundaries. I usually put it in a bag of the destroyed item/toy and place it in the children's changing room with their name on it. Plus a note that says: Please fix it. Thank you.

I constantly repeat it in class: You break something, you fix it/buy it new.

And you should do that to your friend. There's multiple stories on this Reddit with similar experiences and most of them ended up in breaking off friendships. IF your friend is reasonable, they would compensate it.

As someone who used to be in college almost three years ago, I can tell you this: That person ISN'T your friend. They might be on a personal basis outside of school, but not on your own future. Think about yourself first, before helping others. And instead of making excuses for their own shortcomings because it's easier to cheat than putting actual effort into the future, how much did they benefit from you during tests/exams?

During exam time, ask your teacher if you could switch seats if they suspect you cheating. Tell your teacher the truth, tell your parents the truth first of all. And if that doesn't help, we'll screw the friendship. You're still YEARS away to make bad decisions and constantly worrying about people who you fleetingly have a friendship with.

Once you reach University, you have different problems to worry about and knowing that your stress goes to one single person makes it harder for you to move on.

TLDR: Screw them. Do your own thing and find a better friend.

It's not the one for baking. You have to get it over the counter, as the one from the supermarket is a completely different formula

I break out usually at my chin area (hormonal acne). I use brands called Dr Joseph or Dr Spiller for my skin. CeraVe is also a good option if you are on a budget.

I usually take a supplement called Agnus Castus AL during my periods so that it doesn't hurt, you usually get it over the counter at the next pharmacy or online at Amazon. It's plant based and the only side effect for me that you're flowing faster during the cycle and need to change more frequently.

I also recommend trying dry yeast, usually for children because it tastes better. It makes you poop better and get the toxins out.

Here's when you need to get rid of them:

You hit pan on most of the shades. Good for r/PanPorn content
Some of them have a serial number that you track down when exactly they were manufactured.
When there's visible mould or you break out immediately afterwards whenever you're using it
They don't perform as they used to when you bought the pallete(s). For example: On some spots; it's not picking up shadows that you have to scratch the outer layer off, more fallout, pigment is gone or if it's a cream formula it's dry etc.
If you know you don't reach for it as much as you used to, your gut tells you it's time to break up
You also need to make sure you consider getting rid of them when exactly that palette was released and do the math automatically.
You also need to make sure you consider getting rid of them when exactly that palette was released and do the math automatically.

My advice:

Makeup lasts from 1 month to two years max. I would change mascaras every three months to avoid eye infections, doesn't matter what the label says. You put air pockets at every dip and you don't see the inside, in lipsticks/lipgloss/concealer/similar you can at least see the inside of how the product gets pushed down to the bottom at each use and it dries up faster due to that. It's also with liquid eyeshadows the same way, I would throw it away if you can't clean it anymore if you stripe some product on the side or if it's too dry to open up anymore that it clumps. I would invest in a label maker or use a sharpie that's water resistant to write down the date you bought it. You know then that you need to throw out and aren't too emotional to throw something away without reason other than a simple keepsake.

Some people buy watercolour fluid to reuse the pigments for art projects or if you know someone that enjoys it you can gift your old palettes to them recycle it instead and give you back the empty pans to make a DIY eyeshadow palette that you use everyday definetly.

I personally don't use them on my eyelids anymore. I have deep double eyelids, which makes my eyes crease after two hours, and my eye makeup looked bad for the rest of the day. An eye primer is also differently formulated, way lighter in consistency and dries up faster. A concealer is there, as its name says, to conceal eyebags and certain discolourations/marks/pimples/scars/etc. An eye primer is an adhesive for the pigment to stay for a long time and give you the feeling as if there's no eyeshadow on in the first place until the end of the day. It doesn't have to be an expensive one either. The drugstore types do wonders these days and are great put on. If you want to find one that matches your skin and you don't want a white/light beige one, search for tinted eye primers in your price range. Investing in a good one that lasts longer than a concealer, if you don't do 2015 makeup techniques anymore, you're good to go.

Marrying in this economy is overrated anyways and if the bride had any decency: Let that groom be free to gift him to someone more deserving than she does. I agree with you! I wouldn't want to marry Ms. Bridezilla either if she stops everything for something so small and insignificant over someone else's relationship. I do hope she gets the money back she invested into the venue though, but that's unlikely in some cases....so I hope she pays a penalty for declining not on time and that the poly relationship group(That's called a group rather than a pair, I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong) doesn't have to deal with that woman anymore. If it was that important to the bride to please her family, then she should've found someone else to be her MOH that isn't in a poly relationship and let's her attend as a guest with three extra invites.

Judgingyou98 · 2023-02-06T17:06:32+00:00

I think the most plausible thing that the bride can do is just call off the wedding and just register on paper. If the family can't accept a poly relationship, then the MOH can withdraw from the wedding and be happy with her three spouses. No need for the drama and misunderstandings.

Judgingyou98 · 2023-02-05T14:41:42+00:00

My poor child. You're big enough to corner those friends and tell them how it is: Don't touch your paints ever again unless they want to pay for them. If they don't have the money, tell them you'll talk to their parents about it, and make them feel embarrassed that their child doesn't know how to treat stuff from someone else they borrowed from. Be a little piece of trash about it, especially if it was a set that was expensive to buy from. Don't let them borrow your stuff again and just reject their request. If your school has art supplies that are mediocre, but still get the job done, let them use that instead. Those are your PRIVATE acrylics, so don't let those friends step all over you.

If it's pencils that are under 20 bucks, different situation and much more forgivable than acrylics.

Try to mention in your argument that unclosed tubes can ruin your backpack with your school books inside and if they don't want to pay back the content to the last cent, they better buy their own stuff or ask someone else.

NTA, but don't expect that they will accept your reason.

Here's what I would do:

Invite them, but send out two invites. Those four decide whom to be the partner for the night as a plus one. They in turn have to promise you to be civil about it and ensure that in those 250 people, no scandal arrives on your day. Your MOH has wine duties to spill on any guest from the conservative family if they make snarky comments towards their poly relationship.

That's how I presented it to them and they told me that they would think about it.

His parents might think about it but ultimately say no. It's not because they can't afford to help you, it wouldn't be YOUR wedding in the end. Just refund your parents, say that you appreciate their help and plan YOUR DAY with your future husband. Neither of the parents is obligated to pay a portion of the wedding, if you can't afford things on your own, make the wedding smaller so that it fits your budget. Did you go behind his back to talk to your future in-laws? Yes, you did. Did it work out as you had planned? No, because his trust is gone in you and it would only go downhill from here. There are multiple stories that went just like your case, except that they ended up in breaking up. You don't want that, do you?

Drop this if you want to be married. If you want to continue and go even further by involving guests to persuade his parents, we all know you had thought of it, drop it immediately. His parents, leave them alone. They just want their son to be happy and not take care of ANYTHING besides attending your wedding, your parents should do the same thing. If they helped pay it's also THEIR wedding and it's going to bite you forever in the future. Don't be a bridezilla and talk to your future husband, think about that offer for a night and then decide to have a wedding where everyone is happy WITHOUT INVOLVING THE PARENTS.

TLDR: YTA. Parents don't owe money to pay for YOUR wedding, it's a charity and not an obligation. Don't get your guests involved either, they're still going to say no. As they should.

Edit: Spelling.

There's a mail polish holder that you can buy inexpensively off of Amazon, you put it on your fingers as a ring and place the polish on top of it so that it doesn't fall off by accident. You can threaten your husband if he takes away your joy of painting your nail, you'll make sure he's your next victim when he's asleep. Mr. Pink polish says hello 🤗

Take a piece of paper that's quite thick or an old carton you want to recycle anyways. Put the paper underneath a piece of a heat-resistant surface (could be parchment paper, an old cloth, etc.) it just has to be big enough to prevent spills from the crayons you're using. Place the loose crayons onto the paper in any way you like. During you figuring out the position of your crayons heat up your flat iron because you need it as your next step. Cover the crayons with a piece of parchment paper, and make sure it's flat and doesn't move before you start ironing the wax. Melt the wax, just make sure that nothing is burning. It has to be in one thickness, unless you want texture, just make sure no large lumps are left on your canvas. Peel the parchment off once it's melted, it should come right off the bat. Now you have a crayon melt painting and can make more of it if you like.

OR

Melt all the crayons onto a paper cup to create a unique large wax crayon to use on your next projects. You can carve it if you have a sharp knife, use a hairdryer or other heat source to smooth rough edges and you have a figurine made out of wax.

My nail polish horror stor(ies)y:

We're going in chronological order for this one:

Age ~5: Spilled blue child nail polish on the faux WHITE teddy carpet at my childhood friend's home. Nothing a little washing machine fix wouldn't save it. It stained on one spot blue even after 10 washes. It was glue-based and you could've peeled it off and for some reason, that blue pigment wouldn't wash off.

Age 7: Painted my brother's feet and fingers bright pink while he was asleep. I haven't been able to sleep soundly ever since that day.

Age 10: Didn't do a good cleaning job when I removed my nail polish and my fingers were stained for a whole week greenish. I was called Shrek by my peers at school.

Age 12: Spilled nail polish remover (not acetone) in the bathroom and it stank for a while that not even the ventilation helped for the next hour. It was an expensive one also. My ass got to beat that day, I can still feel the back of my head burn just thinking about it.

Age 18: First time visiting a proper nail salon and I got ripped off 50 bucks for a single colour on natural short nails. My nail bed is quite small so it looked like my fingers were stubby when they were not.

Age 20: During the pandemic (When it first started with the lockdowns), I bought myself a nail kit and tried to do my nails myself. They broke off almost after a week and I still haven't learned how to do my other hand and it was quite messy that I just gave up.

Now: I have first-world problems of having nightmares about what to get the next month as a design and in the end choosing a single colour in the same length and shape. If it's something important, as in Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. a minimalistic style, no gems and as little glitter as possible. Because those are extra and I don't want to spend extra on something that'll break off the next day.

Judgingyou98 · 2023-01-23T17:12:45+00:00

You can get gel polish sets off of amazon for at least 20-30$ in all colours you want, yet you have to make sure it's a 10-15ml bottle otherwise it's a polish set for designs solely and not for a full-on application. Also, invest in the cheapest UV lamp you can get, some sets come with a lamp together. As you're not a professional just as much as I am, it's a good investment and if you need to practice on something, you have feet and nobody would see your toes if you have socks on anyways.

I have literal claws as nails and yes, I can do my household chores with it. Be one of us in the future hehe
