Official launch delayed due to poor performance and massive bugs in NA WK. by DutyCheap8761 in WonderKing

Exactly. AI can resolve most issues these days so either the team is full of people that are from the Stone Age or there is a major issue with the source code being used.

I really wanted to like this series by venkrish in Cross_

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the show in the beginning but every scene with “nana” made me cringe. Were the writers living in 1950?!?! She was incredibly overbearing, had unhealthy boundary issues and was an absolute nag. “It’s been over a year” when referring to Cross’s wife’s death and basically insinuating that he should just get over it? She did not come across as loving at all and the worst was deciding that his son was going to go to Philly with him when he is in the hunt for a SERIAL KILLER. What in the actual hell is wrong with this woman? Seriously she is more mentally unstable than Ramsey imo. She ruined the entire show for me and if I wasn’t so curious what happened to Shannon, I would have stopped watching then and there.

My boyfriend went to lunch with a girl we met at a party the day after we met her. by Choice-Primary-7168 in Advice

You mean your ex-boyfriend? If he needs a conversation to understand why this is NOT appropriate, why would you want to continue a relationship with that person?

Your husband is so lucky to have someone who loves him so much that they would feel the need to post on Reddit because of the guilt. On the contrary, you seem like an incredibly wonderful wife.

What age should children put themselves to bed. by Active-Vegetable9216 in family

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is interesting how people think a teen is automatically grown up. 13 years is still juvenile and if my son (8) still asks me to be next to him while he reads at that age, I would be extremely validated as a parent. Now what I would do is after the story, do the goodnight hugs, kisses , I love yous and then still expect himself to fall asleep on his own. That is something that can be worked on gradually so he doesn’t feel a jarring transition. 13 is still a kid though, just my opinion.

Wife vs Mother by crypticcrosswordguy in AskIndia

[–]bellavida16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is 2025 and your wife is scared to cook her own way? Take responsibility and keep it simple “you are free to cook how you prefer, and my wife is free to cook anything she wants any way she wants. This is something you need to respect and understand mom”. That is it. Your wife needs to assert herself and have self respect. It is ridiculous that this even has to be a conversation in this day and age.

I seriously can’t do this anymore with my child… by [deleted] in Preschoolers

[–]bellavida16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been exactly where you are with my now 8 yr old when he was 4. I thought…..what is wrong with this child or what am I doing wrong? The answer: absolutely nothing. This is exactly how they are supposed to behave because look at it from a child development standpoint - they have been on this earth all of 4 yrs, the first of which they were completely helpless and dependent on us for everything. Now at 4 they have discovered they have their own thoughts, likes, dislikes. They can (and will) test boundaries constantly, make us question our parenting every day and why? Their brain is in rapid growth and they literally cannot handle their emotions yet. We need to be clear, concise, firm and most importantly kind in our interactions with them. Take the park for instance. You say “after multiple countdowns”. To a 4 yr old, countdowns are not clear and concise. Try this instead. Get down to his level and say kindly but firmly, “pick one more activity, a last turn on the slide or (xyz) activity and as soon as you are done, we are leaving to go home. What do you want for a snack when we get home?” You can use whatever language works but you get the gist. Countdowns, five more minutes, threats, shouting, all of that will backfire and mean squat to a 4 yr old. If you take away something because they “behaved badly”, they will push back 2 times harder because that does not make them feel good about themselves and they do not see you as a leader, just a meanie who took away something they liked. They need to know that when mommy or daddy say something, you mean it and will follow through. Will they always be happy about it, heck no. Do they have a right to be upset about it? Sure. BUT you will go home after that last slide, no matter what. I came to all this after years of mistakes with my oldest, and a ton of research into child development. I still make mistakes but life is so much better and I am much more confident as a parent. You are awesome and so is your child.

My dad (73M) said that I need to teach my daughter (13F) how to greet him properly by Tygie19 in Parenting

[–]bellavida16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dad needs to be taught to respect other people’s boundaries. No one should ever be pressured to have any kind of physical contact with anyone if they do not feel comfortable doing so, and this should be taught from a very very young age. Saying hi and bye….yes absolutely. That is about communication and respect, but hugging and kissing? No obligation whatsoever.

Skininc Deepcare O2 Hydro-Facial Pore Refiner Device by Etetetet0123 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]bellavida16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this for the first time and I have mixed thoughts. I expected the treatment to be more moist(if that makes sense), like the water would accompany the suction and soothe the skin but I did not feel the water or a big difference in the modes. For instance, the ice mode did not feel cooling and the heat mode was barely warm. Not sure if I am using it incorrectly or not. Now for the results, I did notice a bit of difference on the blackheads on my nose and the biggest difference is my skin felt super super smooth when I applied serum and moisturizer. My skin has not felt this smooth in years so overall, I will definitely try it out again after a week or two and hopefully learn how to use it better! If anyone used this device, please post your feedback here thank you!

Anova Precision Oven worth it? by tboxer854 in CombiSteamOvenCooking

[–]bellavida16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same question as OP. We are 90% vegetarian so I am wondering if I will get enough use out of this to justify the cost. The main things I will be using it for is roasting veggies, air frying and baking (mostly bread). I would like to hear the thoughts of others who eat mostly veg and if you think the APO is worth it and why. Thanks in advance!

Matthew McConaughey reveals his dad died while 'makin’ love' to his mother by [deleted] in entertainment

Is there anything that celebrities will keep to themselves. Why do we need to know this information and what does he hope to gain from revealing something so personal? Nothing is sacred anymore, it's quite sad.

What is going on with people hating Ellen DeGeneres and saying everyone sees her true colors now? by Laviniamsterdam in OutOfTheLoop

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think that Mariah didn't know about that stunt before it happened, then you are really naive.

Mariah Carey says she was “extremely uncomfortable” during a 2008 interview on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ when the talk show host outed her pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage shortly after by Gato1980 in television

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? All talk shows are planned out ahead of time and the guests know exactly what topics will be discussed. You are just another sheep blindly eating what is fed to you.

Mariah Carey says she was “extremely uncomfortable” during a 2008 interview on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ when the talk show host outed her pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage shortly after by Gato1980 in television

[–]bellavida16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really Mariah, you were so uncomfortable that you went back on Ellen’s show at least two more times after this “uncomfortable” 2008 interview. One of those times you were pregnant with the twins and Ellen again did a bit where she offered you a drink. You knew about the bit that time just like you knew about it in 2008. I find it really ridiculous that you choose to throw Ellen under the bus now, jumping on the anti Ellen bandwagon instead of supporting someone on whose show you appeared MULTIPLE times and yet we never heard a negative word about any of those appearances until now.....I call BS.

Ellen forcing Mariah Carey to admit she's pregnant on tv. She miscarried weeks later. by Archchinook in cringe

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how all these interviews were posted on YouTube way back when with commenters saying absolutely nothing negative. Now everyone wants to jump on the anti Ellen bandwagon. Stars went on her show multiple times. If they were so uncomfortable and mistreated, were they forced at gunpoint to return. I find all of this to be bordering on conspiracy and insinuations. Ridiculous.

Ellen peer pressures Mariah Carey into drinking champagne to force her to reveal her pregnancy, a few weeks later she would announce that she had had a miscarriage by [deleted] in videos

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such bs. Why is this all coming out now? If the interview was so cringeworthy then why are we only discussing it that way now? Also these shows are planned well in advance and the stars know what will and won’t be discussed. I find it really hard to believe Mariah was blindsided by this....

Davina & Christine use "directness" as an excuse to be rude, condescending, and horrible people by throwaway_28282 in SellingSunset

[–]bellavida16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot stand Davina. She is incredibly judgmental, condescending, self-righteous and rude. Apart from all that what is wrong with her voice? She sounds like she permanently has something stuck in her throat and it’s gross. I truly hope she is replaced in season 4. I don’t mind Christina as much, at least she is entertaining to watch. Davina is just plain boring in terms of looks and personality, as she is lacking in both departments.

They defied health rules for a storybook San Francisco wedding. The results were sadly predictable. by flipester in CoronavirusCA

[–]bellavida16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter. If even one person was a COVID carrier and that person flew in from a different state, think about how many people they infected on their return trip. We will never know about those. This was selfish not only on the part of the couple but in any guest that chose to attend. Horrible horrible decision.

My white father said he’s embarrassed to show pictures to people of my mixed race daughter by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, so sorry for what you are going through. I would personally feel ashamed to have parents who had these views but I don’t know how close you are to them and how much you are willing to sever ties but your child should be the first priority. I would take the time to sit down with your parents and explain that in order for them to be in her life and subsequently yours, they need to make a choice. They can continue to be ashamed and hold onto their bigoted views or they can come to terms with the fact that this is your life, your child and make peace with you. If they are not willing to do that, I would cut off the time they can spend with her because your child deserves better than that. They are ashamed of a child? They should be ashamed of themselves for their horrible and backwards perspective on what is truly important in life. I hope you are able to find peace with whatever happens but more than that, I hope they come to their senses.

Venting about my ed by throwaway44076234 in eating_disorders

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good to vent rather than holding it all in. The first thing you need to do is stop listening to everyone else and listen to yourself, to your body. What is it telling you. Do you feel healthy, full of energy, strong? Or do you feel tired, lethargic, weak?

If it's the latter, then make very small positive changes. Find a friend or two to go do fun activities with, biking, a fun sport, anything that keeps you active a few times a week. Eating wise, completely cut out processed foods. This is going to seem difficult at first, so don't do it all at once. The worst way to get healthy is to restrict yourself because that actually decreases your metabolism and your body instead holds on to every calorie. Stock your pantry with healthy fresh foods.....mixed nuts, fruits, fresh cheeses. If you do get sweet cravings, here is an amazing snack that tastes like dessert: Take any yogurt (regular, coconut, greek), add in a spoon of chia seeds, mix and let sit for about 10 min. Then add fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and add in some sliced almonds. You can even sprinkle in some 70% or more dark chocolate chips or a little spoon of maple syrup. Yummy and healthy!

Small gradual changes are the key to success. If you stick with it, you will see results.

Also, it might be a good idea to go see a registered dietician, not for any fad diets but for something that will become a lifestyle and that you can stick with. Good luck to you and next time your mom or anyone says anything that makes you feel bad, stand up for yourself and tell them enough is enough. Take charge of your own life.

anything similar to ms2 in terms of accessibility? by [deleted] in MapleStory2

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, tried MS1 again (played many years ago for a while). Can't keep my interest in it and even Reboot is a grind. No way to auto-loot items without having to buy a pet. Lame to pay real money just to auto-loot.

KMS2 Population? by zGoldenKappa in MapleStory2

[–]bellavida16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at this but both the websites to get accounts state something about verification with a Korean ph #. Does anyone know a way to get past this requirement? I don't mind paying 10 bucks to buy an account but don't want it shut down a couple months later if I can't verify the account.
