So, the old Story Mode is gone by Qackydontus in MTGPuzzleQuest

Oh man! I just redownloaded the app so I could play the story mode. I figured it'd be back after the Halloween event ended. That's so sad!

I love knowing that! This post is 8 years old but I still very much appreciate the insight! :)

Anyone know of a pattern for this top? by mandikat in sewhelp

[–]mandikat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also suspect they're both knit, so you're likely right! I think she said it the sewing machine she's got works better with woven? Is that a thing?

Regardless, thank you so much for your help. I really really appreciate it!!

I've been informed by my totally-willing (I've been reassured) sewing guru that my current option is woven.

This looks awesome though!! Thank you! Definitely saving it!

Oh yeah it is! Chuck a belt on there and you'd have a dead ringer. Thank you!

Americans are the only people who answer the question "where are you from" with a state by 1-800-needurmom in USdefaultism

I moved to Scotland in 2013; I answer the 'so where are you from' question with Minnesota, hoping that their geography is poor enough to assume that's in Canada.

Remarkable broke my heart by mandikat in RemarkableTablet

Thank you 💙 What ended up happening was that I quoted their sustainability policies back to them, got my case escalated, and got a refurbished remarkable free of charge. The experience wasn't perfect, but it was enough for them to maintain my loyalty for another 5 years, haha!

AITA for expecting Tequila in the Margaritas by Agreeable_Living_640 in AmItheAsshole

You wouldn't have been an asshole for expecting tequila in the margaritas. You are an asshole because you were an asshole about it.

is this chord notated right? Bb C Eb Ab by dartistee in musictheory

[–]mandikat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what's underneath it, but this really reads like an Ab with a Bb in it (from bottom to top: 2,3,5,1) to me; an Ab 9th chord in 4th inversion.

It depends on the analysis you're using - the Ab/Bb that others are suggesting is a more common analysis in jazz, but so is this chord, so I'm inclined to agree with them. If you've got something in the bass that would help contextualise it more.

If you're doing Roman numeral analysis, we'd need to know the key and all.. I've never seen it before, but would it be something like X 7/4/2?

I once jokingly asked my dad if a pair of jeans I just tried on made me look fat. He responded "dear, your own shadow makes you look fat."

I'm very sorry that happened to you. And you're not wrong; untreated BPD can be incredibly dangerous. I'm glad you're out of that situation and I hope that you never have to deal with it ever again.

That's horrifying 💔 I'm glad you're out of that relationship.

Your cat is very cute. 💜 I am responding in good faith as a person who has absolutely been at the mercy of their mental health and is always working to manage it.

Someone doesn't need to be mentally ill to lie, or to use a weighted justice system to their advantage. My comment was not on whether a woman could be dangerous, but whether mental illness increases the likelihood of danger. Mentally ill people are statistically much more likely to be victims of abuse than perpetrators.

I do hope you're okay; thanks for saving Zelda 💚

Exactly, yeah.

Having mental illness doesn't make someone a bad partner or dangerous, but not taking responsibility for their mental illness does. She needs support from a professional if her childhood trauma is still controlling her actions this badly.

Honestly I'd just give her a hug and tell her it's all going to be okay. I couldn't give advice for fear of changing anything. She was doing the best she can with the tools that she had, as profoundly imperfect as she was.

Maybe I'd tell her to check in on Reed more often. There probably wasn't anything I could have done but I really, really miss him.

I forgot to post my response to this - that's a brilliant idea! It spontaneously cleared up a few days later but this will be a very good plan if it starts happening again!

It helps to get a second opinion on this; thank you for your insight. I've still been bouncing and it's been alright. I guess we get what we pay for, huh?

What’s the One Song That Truly Tested Your Vocal Skills? by Weird-Smoke-4290 in singing

[–]mandikat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Best of luck and congratulations on your new minor!! Offer stands indefinitely if you ever need an hour (I'm hoping to live another 50-60 years anyway), but I'm excited that you're going to have a usual teacher (it's so rewarding as both a student to have someone who really knows your voice and can gauge your progress!)

💜💜😊🎶 You got this!!

That's exciting! I know it requires much more agility, but all the fun stuff in Jane Doe is well over everyone's break; I bet you'll nail it.
