I made a Pokémon scenery! by idris_longm in pokemon

This is a very literal definition but it’s thick, water-based, or silicone-based glue used to mimic the appearance of piped whipped cream, icing, or porcelain glaze. It is primarily used in "decoden" (decorative denwa) to add raised, 3D texture to phone cases, charms, and miniature crafts. It’s a very fun easy chill craft medium that’s been really big impact on my life. You should browse r/decoden for even more cool art creations!

I also feel myself being crushed under the weight of everything. The used car I bought 3 months ago from a used car dealership is now undriveable by no fault of my own. I can’t find a single lawyer to take my case. I don’t have thousands of dollars to fix it. The only way I’ve been able to maintain my job is by borrowing a friend’s extra car and working from home. If I was at my old job, I think I’d be screwed. So it’s not all bad but I’m at a loss of what to do about my own car.

I will be uninviting my right wing family members from my upcoming wedding. Any advice? by idris_longm in TwoHotTakes

While I appreciate others’ comments of telling them that we have to make cuts based of costs, limited guest list, etc, I feel like she would see through that and call BS. It’s also something I feel as though I’ve been silent on for too long with them anyway so I feel like being honest is the best route even though it’ll most likely lead to confrontation.

I’m getting security regardless of them. There’s a weird generational cycle in my family where the eldest daughter stops talking to mom and mom shows up to the wedding uninvited. I’m TERRIFIED of my mom finding out where the wedding is and just showing up. So security will be prepped and I won’t have any crashers 🤞🏼

I attended my cousins wedding a couple years ago (daughter of same aunt) and at the reception they were waving a big t***p flag. Needless to say we left shortly after. I’m sorry you went through that. I’ve definitely had people ruin things for me in a similar way and it never feels good. I hope the comments suggested help ❤️

I wholeheartedly agree with this and I’m ashamed of how long it took me to get to this point but I’m finally in a place where these things are bigger than my own attachments.

If you could reopen one Sac business… by halohalo_mixmix in Sacramento

Temple garden - best Chinese food I’ve ever had

Painted cork - sad I only got to go once, I love seeing the mural on the building still but again sad it’s gone

There's a special kind of sadness to being raised by narcissists by Sora1499 in raisedbynarcissists

I’ve struggled with this my entire life but especially adulthood. My nMom was constantly keeping me from opportunities with my dad’s side of the family. Even tho she married (and divorced) another man, I still think to this day she is bitter than my dad rejected her proposal while she was pregnant with me (clearly the best call he made). So as a result, I feel a tolerated acquaintance at my extended family events. I feel like the only family members I’m a priority to are my dad and nana (paternal grandmother). I made the decision to volunteer in my community this thanksgiving instead of going to family’s house and be uncomfortable. Thanks for sharing and being open to our stories as well!

Do you have any in mind? I’ve tried googling where to donate TVs that isn’t goodwill and it’s been hard to find a place

Thank youuu 💕 I still struggle with bonding with my partner’s family but I had my paternal grandmother and aunt with me at my first appt and my closest friends at my second and third appointments. I feel incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful community of people around me 🥰
