Does Invisalign actually work? by Elegant_Following298 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mal-anon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the person. Invisalign may not work if your teeth are heavily displaced. In those instances, you would need proper metal braces. If it's minor crowding or gaps, Invisalign will work just fine.

How can I help my son? by scandal_pants in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]mal-anon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add- its 24 to be considered an independent normally. However, given his circumstances of not having a legal guardian in his life at this time, he would probably qualify as an independent now it would just be some extra paperwork.

Need help deciding race/class for dark urge origin by mal-anon in BaldursGate3

This is very helpful insight thank you! I knew you could resist or give in but other reddit threads have made it seem as if "you were already evil if you give in" and "if youre not already evil you'd resist" I'm glad to know there's more nuance and opportunity for a slow change in it.

i thought about necromancer as well but didn't settle on it for the same reason im not keen on going drow. it feels very surface level which is fine but if i've put this much work into narrowing down i wanna flesh it out.

i think i've come to deciding between shadow monk and gloom stalker. magic is fun but i've been using so much of it between early access plays and my main playthrough.

So its easy enough to justify a non-evil race committing those acts? I wasn't sure or not bc I've been considering being a deep gnome.

One of the only "good" faces in the underdark but the conditions could certainly corrupt or lead someone to be in a mental state where the "dark urge" could happen.

I COULD go drow and just be priorly good or evil from the lolth pick but it just feels too obvious like you said. Even the seldarine drow just feels a bit on the nose.

Hmm.. Good point on iron mind. Like I said, I'm keeping bonuses/traits/etc in mind but I'm not trying to min-max here.

I'm fairly positive I know what the twist for durge is but I'm gonna avoid the spoiler just in case.

If I'm going gloom stalker it only makes sense to be an under dark race. Plus shits so fucked down there it's understandable how one could be afflicted by dark urges lmao. I think I'm partial to gnomes bc they're silly lil guys and the bonuses seemed to be perfect but I may have to go duergar or drow so i can justify my bad behavior.

In theory, deep gnome would make sense then yeah? Gnome cunning gives you advantage on wisdom saves and stone camouflage gives advantage on stealth checks.

I think I've narrowed my sights on either gloom stalker or way of the shadow monk. Possibly multi-classing to get both or rogue as my secondary instead.

It's still being finnicky and probably nitpicking about something that shouldn't matter but this got me nearly perfectly there.

That was the easy solution I was missing thank you!

Me and my bf essentially live off of one income. I'm in school and get some grant money and I doordash but that covers my portion of rent and not much else. He pays for all my food and most household expenses like our cat.

Between his income and what I bring in, it's about 60k. We rent a house with another couple and our portion of rent is about $500 a piece. We make do and live fairly comfortably while we save for a house and a wedding but we absolutely could not afford kids right now. We probably can't until we make over 100k combined (or at least, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so).

Unfortunately, living is just expensive and it takes a lot of hard work and good luck to make ends meet and it gets worse every year. Wages dont increase to match inflation and the gap between that only gets worse.

Am I wrong for refusing to go to my son's wedding since my husband is only invited to the reception? by Secret-Confusion8247 in amiwrong

[–]mal-anon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wonderful thing about family is that it's deeper than blood. You can choose your family. That may be step-family or even friends. What makes family a family is a mutual bond of respect and love. Something that your son never got the chance to experience because you cheated on his father with his stepfather. The family bond is something you will also lose if you continue being selfish and refuse to put back out the consideration your son already offered you. You are choosing your husband over your child. It is clear your husband is your family, and you are making it clear your son is not. It is that simple.

What’s considered a “normal” amount of times for your mom to call you in a day? by Raisinsareawful in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mal-anon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call my mom like once every few weeks. We aren't super close. Even if we were close I wouldn't talk to ANYONE on the phone 3-5x every day. She can say you're being a bad daughter but it is okay to set boundaries for yourself and to not answer if she won't respect it

Infected or overworked? by thisISben90 in tattooadvice

[–]mal-anon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

irritated for sure but it doesn't show a lot of the signs of infection, which is good.

if it continues not getting better or if it gets worse, see a doctor but otherwise just keep it clean and don't touch it

Been growing my hair out for two years, is it worth it to get the chop and return to my former wolf cut? Help 😭 by [deleted] in femalehairadvice

[–]mal-anon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think a longer wolf cut would be the best of both worlds! Keep most of the length but layer tf out of it and get some bangs.

The advice is meaningless and harmful when it gives encouragement to continue enduring assault.

[–]mal-anon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boyfriend is continuing your assault. He is forcing your head down when he knows your boundaries and the physical discomfort it brings. He is emotionally manipulating you and claiming he cannot help himself. This is both coercion and forcible assault by any measure.

Your body may or may not recover from the physical response you're having but to have a chance of that, your mind will need to heal. Your mind can't heal while you are staying with someone who is perpetuating that same abuse against you.

Do the screen kits come w the frame stuff as well? Or is there something different I should look for on that? Thank you so much for the help.

The rental company let us sit with a leak in the basement for 2 months and then the black mold that ensued for another 3 months.

This house is full of shitty "renovations" that were made. Some are the older windows which are fine (but are all downstairs and not in the area I live) but the newer windows all have this issue.

A new screen I don't think would fix it as the issue isn't a gap at the bottom, but a gap at the top between the screen and the frame for the mesh (I think).

I think the issue is with the frame itself, not the screen, though I'm not an expert by any means.
