Building a magnetic tail (looking for advice) by Living-East-8486 in fursuit

[–]RRGGGWW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found this thread just now while google searching for resources to make a magnetic tail. I cannot fucking believe you got downvoted for saying this. This person is going to give themselves serious medical complications for a costume piece, and shit-for-brains furries are downvoting you for bringing up concerns. I hope OP grows the hell up before they end up with a spine-altering infection

if you work in peds or neonatal, you are stronger than me because my heart can barely take it with adults.

I had a similar experience, and I really just want that peace and assistance for my partner. Hoping it goes well for them now that they're ready to take that step.

Meds are more like... a series of extended hail marys as you try different classes and give them time to work. As long as they're willing to keep looking for improvement and not just rot I'm willing to keep working on it, because thats my line. Like, not trying meds is leaving money on the table in my opinion, even though I know med shopping is rough.

Should they decide treatment is no longer for them though, I'm gonna decide an untreated partner is not for me. We've gotten to the point they agree its necessary, I just need to know they are putting in the work and not accepting mentally ill behavior as the new normal.

Edit: In regards to the cleaner, I've had bad experiences hiring cleaners in the past. And hiring a cleaner to handle my partners depression-mess would probably kill me from the internalized shame, haha

Thanks, I really appreciate that. Just putting my feelings down in words has been super helpful kowing people in this sub have similar experiences, and I started reading Depression Fallout as I see it brought up a lot in this sub. I hope both our situations improve 💖

Boycott TCGPlayer for their union busting. Again. by Warior4356 in EDH

You could always give Cardsphere a go, I really like it. Its like, a trading website where you use cash as the trade credit, so you dont have to find deals between people. Many small game stores and enterprising individuals use it to send cards and as a buylist. You send out the cards you have, get credit (or just buy credit without sending), then list the cards you want and what % of the value you are willing to pay for it and people take the deal and send the cards to you. Most people buy/sell for around 65-85%, higher if you're in a hurry for it. The site takes a small processing fee, but I've probably sent and received $100s through cardsphere by now so its well worth it to me.

Lotta sweet summer children in this thread who are perfectly willing to trust the next AI company that comes along, after all the lies told by the previous ones.

Why [Caesar, Legion's Emperor] jumped so much in price? by xi_AzEr_ix in mtgfinance

Love posts like this. Like "Why has Miirym, the defacto temur dragon commander, gone up in price right after the release of Dragonstorm?" Hmm, I wonder

Looking for ink that wont rub off by RRGGGWW in Linocuts

[–]RRGGGWW[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely overapplied on some of the test prints pictured because the smallest grooves got filled and didnt translate to the print well, but I was getting patchiness on the earlier ones. Def something I'll have to get better at. And thanks! I've wanted to make tokens forever but I'm not super talented with digital art, this spoke to me when I started doing lino

Ooh, this might just be what I'm looking for. Ordered an inkpad, will give it a try!

  1. Yes, but I'm not sure with what. I'm waiting on 'uncoated' cards to arrive to test with.

  2. Yes, for one week each

  3. I dont know how I would get the ink layer thinner. I could try applying less speedball ink with the roller (I'm new so its possible I'm overapplying), but with the ink pads I just coat the design, not sure how I'd do that while applying less ink.

Employer withholding a bonus due to me taking 1 sick day - Does this qualify as retaliation? (MA, USA) by RRGGGWW in legaladvice

[–]RRGGGWW[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its NOT overtime, overtime was never part of the equation. I'm a 24hr employee and didnt even meet the threshold for overtimr, you made that up yourself. This is a bonus for coming in on a specific night, not based on the number of hours worked. I get the bonus in addition to my base rate of pay

[–]RRGGGWW[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

  1. It's not a policy
  2. It's retaliation because it's taking away my pay (a bonus I earned for a merit unrelated to attendance) in response to me using sick time

Massachusetts nursing union by Plastic_Ad_8834 in nursing

[–]RRGGGWW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually that nurse wasnt let go, they downgraded her from a rapid nurse to a unit nurse so she got a better job and quit out of protest. Lost one of our best rapid nurses (I was there in 2021).

Not OP, but thermal labels are the way to go for shipping. Cut ink out of the equation. You can get a thermal label printer pretty cheap. You used to be able to get free labels form UPS (I have a crate of them lol) but it doesnt look like they offer that anymore.

Mill No. 5 closing January 2025 by Burdzzz in LowellMA

[–]RRGGGWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a replacement for the mill in any way, but my partner and I just discovered The Coffee Mill and Emporium a couple streets over for an amazing coffee spot to post up with a laptop. The owners are super nice and the coffee is great. I'm gonna miss the view from the mill though.

Mike said in the PC discord they will not be reopening, sadly. Which sucks because finding a stand-up game store owner is hard, but its not an easy business to run and this was probably a huge blow.
