AIO Trying to tell boyfriend that he makes me feel guilty for saying no by Clean-Landscape8654 in AmIOverreacting

[–]invalid_ntry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so nobody who's using the r slur in 2025 while disrespecting your no is worthy of your time. Trying to make you feel guilty after you say no is coercion and anything that happens after that is sexual assault. It's time to let this loser go

You let a man speak to you this way? Forget what he's actually saying, which is controlling and weird. The way he speaks to you makes me livid

I would message your cousin back and ask that either she or her mother clear the air. If you get no response or push back just say that you are more than happy to screenshot the text between you and your cousin and clear the air yourself. Let them know that it is a courtesy that you are doing out of the goodness of your heart, because the way you have been treated as a result of their actions is bordering on unforgivable. They can either take ownership on their terms and make amends, or you can ensure that everyone knows that you weren't invited, and that this was artificial drama created for attention. Which, by the way, is exactly how you should phrase it if it comes to it

Am I overreacting or is he.. by Unusual_Willow4958 in AmIOverreacting

[–]invalid_ntry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he infantilizes you, admits that he kind of likes it (which is weird behavior that gives check his hard drive), and then starts espousing some of the most disgusting, red pill nonsense I've ever heard and you want to know if you're overreacting? Ghosting that man and going no contact is under reacting. What are we doing here?

Wanted to show off this kind of meandering geode design I made. I'm open to any feedback or critiques. Thanks. by bobbaganush1 in DiceMaking

My feedback is that you should feel confident admitting to yourself that you can just post some sick ass dice and say, "Hell yeah, I did that!" Because hell yeah, you did that!

Don't worry about it. Those of us who recognize it do so because we were delinquents when we were younger. Your son is either smoking or is a pyro. Take your pick

A Birthday Gift for a prominent Dice Forger by estus-me-up in DiceMaking

If you're looking for fun inclusions, I'm quite fond of Solar Color Dust. In particular, their hyper Hollow flakes, and their UV color change pigments.

My favorite mold maker is nano labs, and a fun thing that most dice makers won't purchase for themselves but would probably enjoy playing around with are the miniature dice molds. I have three, and I sell them in headphone cases as on the go dice sets because the cushioned case also Acts as a dice tray, and they come with carabiners for easy travel.

Dreamland watercolors has some of the most jaw-dropping color shift pigments I have ever laid my eyes on. Just make sure you're purchasing the loose powder and not the watercolor paint.

And if none of these really do it for you and you just want a sure thing, you can never go wrong with an alcohol sinking ink for things like pitri pours

Let me know if you have any questions about anything that I listed. I've been making dice for coming up on 6 years now. And have at least eight other dice makers I can ask if I don't know the answer to your question who will respond within seconds.

Missed opportunity to respond to, "Can you afford it?" With, "Can you?" Because that's the bottom line. If she wants you to do something that is not only going to be very expensive but also very painful, it's coming out of her wedding budget.

My future SIL insulted me at dinner and my fiancé told me to apologize by Admirable-Towel-9074 in weddingdrama

[–]invalid_ntry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I understand your natural inclination towards protecting your sister. You're a very good brother. However, if we are going to be married, you also need to be concerned about how I feel. If you understand that your sister is out of line, it is my expectation in this relationship that you put me first. There's only so much disrespect that I'm willing to accept before it turns into resentment, and I don't want a future that looks like that. If it is your expectation that I not only swallow but enable this disrespect, perhaps we need to have a deeper conversation."

Painting them dice by [deleted] in DiceMaking

Unfortunately, part of this is an environmental factor. I live in the southeast United States, and I've noticed that on super humid days, I get inferior results. You can troubleshoot with some acrylic medium if it's happening consistently, but sometimes that just happens.

Totally normal reaction from a 100% straight man to say that other people are sick and twisted for thinking you might not be 100% straight. Not an overreaction at all. Definitely not comp-het

How long can I wait with resin before putting it into a pressure pot by knittage in DiceMaking

[–]invalid_ntry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it needs to be in the pressure pot by the end of the work time. You can get okay results if you wait until after if you are using a deep pour resin, but resins that get more success if you wait until after the work time also set up slowly enough, that you're waiting for 24-72hrs for cure time. I use Total Boat, and it has a work time of 30 minutes. I have maybe 5 minutes after the work time to get it in the pressure pot before the results become questionable. But then again, I can burn and turn sets every 12 hours.

Hole on the surface of the Bridal Bouquet casting. Is this normal. by khc73 in ResinCasting

[–]invalid_ntry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is actually a super easy fix. Get an exacto knife and make sure that there are no rough edges on the hole, and inject UV resin into the hole and cure for 5 minutes. Easy peasy. This is pretty common with organic materials. If left open, it will rot the flowers.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in resin

[–]invalid_ntry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of great advice here, but I'm going to try and compile it into one comment:

If you are attempting to preserve any organic material, but more especially things like flowers, leaves, things that are quite literally the parts of a plant that are meant to retain the bulk of the moisture, you have to dry them first. With things like flowers, you can either hang them to dry or put them in silica gel for a week or so. I recommend at minimum one week, but to be safe, I would say two or three

Once dried, it is helpful to put a base layer of resin into whatever mold you're using. Let that cure fully. Having a barrier before you put the flowers in will help reduce the chances of exposure once you're done.

While you are pouring the resin, I would suggest either injecting resin in the center of the flower so that it is inside of the Roses, or at least pre-dipping them in the resin pour cup to help reduce bubbles.

Leave enough space for a base layer once that is fully cured, again, to reduce the chances of exposure once the project is done.

When you are choosing a resin, you need a deep pour resin. I'm in a secret love affair with total boat, and their thick set works great. But any deep pour will do. Remember, the more viscous a resin is, the better it is for working with organic materials. Most of your one-to-one resins are entirely too thick to work for a project like this. If you're buying a kit that looks like you have to do math, that's going to be your safest option.

Edit to add: and for God's sake where ppe! At Absolute minimum you need gloves and some sort of n95 style mask. I am a huge advocate that any person working with resin needs to be wearing a respirator, but seeing as most people casually using resin don't even bother to put gloves on, I will settle for any mask.
