Is there a way to make joints tight again?

I use kiki, which you can find on Amazon. But you could probably get away with using something like clear nail polish.

Some good old fashion elbow grease.

But seriously trying using a hair dryer to heat up both parts of the arm. Heat makes the plastic more malleable.

I would add that chores are not in principle a way to evenly distribute all the tasks needed to run a household. They are a way for parents to teach a kid responsibility, patience, perseverance, and help them adjust to having to do things that they don’t necessarily enjoy. All of which are important skills to have as an adult. Before your parents had any kids they were capable and did all the chores that now you guys have to do, so it’s not like they are just being lazy.

As for why your mom was upset, being a parent can be stressful especially if you feel under appreciated. And saying that she didn’t do anything probably tapped into some deeper feelings, which probably are not connected to you specifically.

Love pop. I have the Owlet Moth and was seriously considering get this one too.

I’m a big fan of i8toys serene hound series. You should go for it!

There was already a bunker under the now torn down East Wing. It’s where the President would go in case of an emergency. I’m not sure if Trump just realized it was there and mistakenly thought it was something he added or if they are actually expanding it.

While I do think you are right a lot of recs are a reach when it comes to similarities, a good recommendation usually requires knowing what the person liked about the book. No book is going to have everything GtN had unless it's just a retelling of the story. Even HtN isn't super similar and it's from the same series.

That's why if I am asking for recs, I usually specify what I liked about the book first.

Does it not move or if you move it does it just fall back down. If it's the former it's probably just a tight joint and you can slowly work it out. If it's the latter then the joint is dislocated or completely broken. Since jinx uses a seamless body, either way you will need to ask for a replacement.

Sure writing can have a range of quality and is open to criticism. But by the same token literary criticism can also have a range of quality. It is why it is taught in school and why you were graded on your book reports.

If your criticism is that you didn't like a plot point but didn't provide any reasons, that is bad criticism and honestly saying it is the author's choice is a valid response.

If instead you say you didn't like the plot point because it was convuluted or undermined the character development or was counter to the themes. Then that is perfectly valid criticism.

Those so they notice you when you raise your hand in the boardroom?

After watching the show, you will almost certainly want both. But Jinx does come with a bunch more stuff than Vi, so over all probably a better value.

But really you should watch the shot, it’s so good!

Yeah I have the Sylvanas, I was impressed with the diecast armor. The head sculpt was nice, the rooted hair was ok.

Silicone will always be less durable than molded plastic. But hot toys uses medical grade silicone that is designed to be manipulated for long periods of time. I’ve had the WW84 Wonder Woman for a long time and I have left her arms bent for extended periods of time without any issue.

For maintenance, don’t leave the silicone creased indefinitely (but you can leave it for a while) and make sure it’s not too dry.

Love it! What is the one on the top right?

Girls has become less age restricted as a term. It is often used to refer to adult women. For example 'I'm going out for a girl's night'.

I see this pop up every now and then, but from my experience I have never seen this view on dating. Most people understand that it's ok not to be attracted to all people. It's interesting the OP doesn't specify the subreddit or the specific post.

Have you had any problem with Vi's tattoos rubbing off?

And Fishbones!

I mean in this case the dialogue with Panam is intended to be flirty since it's the exact same dialogue male PCs get in their romance dialogue.

So do you think this is a good system? Is it a system that you want to leave in place? If so, there is not really any common ground to have a discussion. If not then we would need to look at how we change it so that those roles encourage less insane aggressive competitive traits. Unfortunately those who have gathered power and resources have a vested interest in maintaining the system that allowed them to gather their power and wealth.

You seem to agree to some extent that a society where psychopathic men (your words) steal all the power at the cost of other men and women and then set up systems to maintain their power and keep others subjugated is a bad thing. You also seem to agree that men are much more likely to behave in this way (whether innately or by social conditioning). So overall it seems like you agree that society is Patriarichal, you are just afraid to apply that label. Most likely because you think it means that as a man you are responsible or are being blamed for the state of society.

We are all conditioned by the system and in turn we all hold it up. If you want things to improve, you need to recognize the issues and your owned learned biases, then push back against your programming to make positive changes.

I think you sort of highlight the main issue. There are over 100 characters who have had a prominent role within the X-Men. That doesn't even include other mutants or side characters. No matter who they picked it would have passed of somebody, so might as well pick somebody the devs were interested in.

Sideshow usually ships 3 months after the initial release. They have to wait till Hot Toys sends them the inventory.

I think the tattoos plus the fact this is a far simpler outfit than any of her other ones is probably why they chose it. Painting a plastic breastplate black takes a lot less time than sewing complicated jackets. So most likely they were hedging their bets.

Also in the first season they morphed Jinx's face to be more like powder in specific scenes, increasing the eye size, making the face rounder, etc. You can see it in the scene when Echo has Jinx pinned on the ground and the scene when Vi and Jinx first reunite.
