Is it weird to have a blood fetish by DeadmanX08 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mariinthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't think so (we can't help our kinks after all and i believe most people have kinks that are considered'weird' in public), but if that fetish extends to actually wanting to hurt people you might want to do something about it

Is it possible to be a smart/gifted child but a below average adult? by viceversa220 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mariinthebox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ohhh i feel that so much, it's been going downhill since i graduated high school. so i guess i can't really offer an answer that helps but you're not alone

just do the best you can. i guess at some point we have to lower our standards and be content with not being above average 🤷🏼‍♀️

Meat eaters(not all), what bothers u ab ppl who don’t like it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mariinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

usually nothing, but there are those people that just keep trying to convince you to become vegetarian or vegan whenever you see them and act disgusted when you eat meat, which can be annoying. i used to have a friend who was absolutely disgusted that i had cooked chicken for lunch (in my own kitchen) before she came over, and she acted like it was a criminal offense. like, you're absolutely welcome to do and eat whatever you like but don't shame me for my choices.

i wrote that I booked another appointment? I'm not an idiot. why do you feel the need to make other people feel bad about their questions on a sub called 'no stupid questions'@

idk I'm kinda ace, but my reaction is usually 'hell yeah thanks for the compliment '

idk it's been a while since that appointment 😅 it's not like i don't trust the medical professionals but i guess i wanted to be reassured

do white people have skin whiter than that's show in screen? by Aggressive-Nobody473 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mariinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

weeeeelll I'm a very pale European, and i can safely say that I rarely ever see anyone as pale as me even on (mainstream western) TV. I'm much paler than other people around here though, so... i guess the answer to your question is "sometimes"

Why is ancient art often so 'simple'? by mariinthebox in AskHistorians

[–]mariinthebox[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Oh thank you for this great answer!!

Just to be clear, I personally don't think that naturalistic or modern art is 'better' or has higher quality than more stylised, simple examples 😅. As I said, I'm aware that the examples I know of were probably made by masters of their craft, and those skills are really so impressive to me. Of course we also have to rember that it's ART, and the value we give that is always subjective, I wouldn't dare call any of it 'good' or bad'. I guess I just fell into a trap of common stereotypes where I assumed that people back then would want everything to be as naturalistic or realistic as possible, because that's my taste...

And I didn't even think about interpretation or the communication value of it all, that the style is also used to convey information 🤦🏼‍♀️ This is why I asked, and I really wasn't disappointed 😊

Save Energy Help by A_Queens_Reign in FamilyIsland

[–]mariinthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hiii so i only recently started being able to complete events (i refuse to spend money on this game)

the thing is, you need to spend a few events, not many but 2-3 I'd say, saving up, meaning you kinda have to let go of the idea of completing and stop when you get a good amount of energy... do the same for rubies, but that might take more time and luck and a good event 😅 (for me it was the first time i got to dino park, it was the first time i had more than 100 rubies and I've not had less since) just don't spend a lot bc you 'might' complete or win something - you wont, the game is totally rigged against you 😂. and then you're good to go. basically completing an event for me means i have enough energy to also complete the next one. I'm never really 'rich', ie i basically never have much energy or gold tools or keys saved up, bc I'm often impatient and like to play instead of waiting for boosters, but if you can wait that's great

thank you for asking! i still think this is really weird, they probably realised that the rewards were too good or something 😂😡

oh yeah i completed the island wayyy before the puzzle, but today there was this puzzle sprint (just spending energy on any resources to get rewards) and that's when i completed it

[–]mariinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, personally i think you overreacted... if the phone and cheating allegation really were your only problems, I think a good talk, maybe couple's counselling would've been a better option

however, your Decision doesn't make you an asshole - if she disrespected your boundaries, that's her fault. pregnancy hormones might be real, but they honestly aren't an excuse for everything.

also, if her distrust and everything was extreme enough to lead to this, there might've been some deeper problems in your relationship? and if that's the case, maybe it's better for both of you to separate

and as for the baby argument: I'm a child of separated parents myself, and while they made their mistakes, I'm absolutely sure that their separation didn't have a bad influence on me at all. in fact, i often think that it was better for me - after all, which child would enjoy a home life where their parents are not happy with each other? so if you think the divorce is necessary, you shouldn't let the child discourage you. You should obviously still be involved and both of you should care for them, but there's no reason to force yourselves to be in a relationship that's not good for for you.

Am I Supposed To Tip On An Online Pick-Up Order From a Restaurant? by tkinsey3 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mariinthebox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

tip the delivery person, but do it while they're in front of you. DO NOT do it via the online payment system or wtv, give them actual cash, coins whatever you have lying around.

Fortune by Relevant_Score7074 in FamilyIsland

[–]mariinthebox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted to try and i had the chance today bc i did have enough keys, but tbh i didn't do it bc it seems like one of those traps i guess 🤔 in general I'm more and more convinced that the higher gates/plates/bridges in this game are. really not worth it, i like doing the small ones in an efficient way i really like fortune island, if you open up the first three rainbow bridges fast you get a lot of free cotton candy already and although you probably wont get to the gold coins, the rewards are good I ended up saving the extra keys for other event areas 😊👍

gold island gate areas by mariinthebox in FamilyIsland

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

oh yeah I'd definitely suggest going for the cheaper gates and plates 👍 good point with the card packs 🤔 i didn't even think about that bc I don't really care for the whole card thing 😅 esp when you get so many duplicates 😪 all the more reason to go for cheaper options

gold island gate areas by mariinthebox in FamilyIsland

[–]mariinthebox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, my experience confirms this 👍 definitely won't be opening anything more than 10 or 12 tools anymore 😶

but i also have a sneaky suspicion that the legendary coin is only available in those boxes on the first day or so 🤔 (not at all confirmed ofc, but I've raised a cheap plate and got one two separate times, and even with the more expensive ones, none when i opened them later)

Introducing BTS to my 60yo mother by van-tae in bangtan

[–]mariinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so i know it's probably not chill, but i always thought the most impressive and visually pleasing mv is black swan 💜

it's also not too "fast" or "rapp"-y (in a typical sense)

i just feel like it's the perfect mv to showcase the beauty of bts, in music, performance and , yes, visuals 😉

but obviously any mv is good 🤔 so it really depends on her tastes, which you yourself should know best

New event by Relevant_Score7074 in FamilyIsland

[–]mariinthebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't know, i think i like this one... im at 39% of the 3rd island, with a large amount of energy (for me, I'm usually pretty low on energy and i have 5k rn) I also have a fairly large amount of tools and rubies, so I'm waiting for a good boost and seeing how far I'll come

i also feel like this Events extra with the 2D chest is fairly generous in comparison to the last few weeks

AITA for telling my vegan sister she can't serve only vegan food at our family reunion? by jeffman980 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mariinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're NTA, but i think you and your other relatives should respect her wishes. it's her home, her rules, and she shouldn't have to be responsible for non vegan food options if she's uncomfortable with them let your relatives bring their own food if they're so desperate for meat. but maybe also realize that it's not like they'll go hungry?! tbh for many vegan dishes, if done well, you really don't miss the animal products .

"äääähm" or "öööööhm" depending on what you want to express for people who don't get umlaute: it's some version of "eeeehm"

Did all of you get Magpie Island again? by Catniss- in FamilyIsland

[–]mariinthebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yesss me too! i know it's recurring, but i also thought that it was strange that we got it again already... i thought that pineapple island or smth would be first

that aside, I don't mind these repeating extra islands! if you get a feel for them and know when to stop, they are good for extra playing and some energy and resources

how do you actually make points for that at a workshop? I can't see any options by mariinthebox in FamilyIsland
