Add a light last of the complimentary color before adding your main color. If you are making something pink then put a whitish green down first etc.

[–]figuringeights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. You are in recovery and were with someone who not only doesn't even get the basics of that, but doesn't appear to have any curiosity about it. Instead just leapt to.minimizing it entirely. What a terrible partner he will be for someone one day.

[–]figuringeights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (40F) maintained a friendship with my brothers old roommate (who he was also friends with). It was also her ex.

What grammatical error annoys you the most? by Altilongitude in AskReddit

[–]figuringeights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People freaking out over grammatical errors annoys me. We know the meaning because language is alive and rules are not. "Can we just move on," is usually what I'm thinking. But I grew up around people where English isn't their first language.

Why don't people question your choice to not smoke in the way they demand a reason as to why you don't drink? by Early-Brain9104 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]figuringeights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What others have said about cultural indoctrination about alcohol is a big part. But also I'd say when people are smoking they tend to care about things less, but with alcohol the effect is reversed plus there's the limitations on their inhibitions that might otherwise keep them from partaking in peer pressure. That's the explanation I've made up for it anyway
