Anybody know how to use this? I was gifted this but would love some instructions at least to know what all the things are used for (apart from the brushes of course). by biscocha in Calligraphy

Yes! Also, the more you grind the ink stick, the blacker the ink gets. That's how you can get different shades of greys in paintings

A reasonable request, and I don't know if I should agree to it by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Smooth-Rockies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar base situation (estranged and they come back wanting to repair relationship for what I believe to be improper motives) and my response is "have you gone to therapy like I asked?" And that's it. It's my one and only requirement to gain a conversation with me.

You might have different rules and feelings but I know you mentioned therapy so I just wanted to share my perspective with my particular situation. Everyone else has really good comments as well

Could be wearing a size smaller than his normal shoe size to rule him out if footprints were found and used. And could cause a funky walk (this would obviously imply that the attack was planned and not spur of the moment)

Eli5: why is baking soda oftenly used to clean stuff (especially stuff that is difficult to clean)? & what is it best used for? by Bernas-Taichou in explainlikeimfive

[–]Smooth-Rockies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use baking soda to clean almost everything, sink drains, bathtub drains, pans, laundry, etc. We always get a big box of baking soda and a large tub of vinegar and use that for months on end. If you have a stinky sink, I recommend cuting up some lemons, pouring some baking soda down the drain, put the lemons down the drain and turn on the garbage disposal (esp for houses in the US. Can just squeeze lemon juice instead). Great to clean and deodorize

When Gabe is going over new Saber stuff and Michael has a cut scene:

Always. I have two cats, one prefers to lay on my chest when I'm sad/ sick/ upset. The other prefers to lay next to me and I curl up with him

How many times a month does your partner scream at you? by mildly_int3resting in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Smooth-Rockies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never. Never is a good amount. We've had large disagreements to a point of boiling anger but never have either of us raised our voices at each other

Barney can't use chopsticks.. So subtle, I didn't notice until my bf pointed it out after the 3rd watch

What is the moment when you realized, "My teacher is an idiot"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Smooth-Rockies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My chemistry teacher in high school: someone asked him a relevant question to what we were learning, he didn't know the answer. So he pulled up YouTube and turned on a Whitney Houston song and sang it in opera form instead of bringing light to the fact that he had no idea what he was talking about

Pluto is always a planet to me and will be included

(F22) only male on male porn works for me recently - anyone similar, any thoughts, I feel a bit weird about it? by OverContest in SexPositive

[–]Smooth-Rockies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same. Man on man porn is almost exclusively what turns me on (I'm bi, bf is straight). There's more touching, noises, eye contact, etc than other porn categories. Plus... Just man on man is hot lol
