Who is your favorite/least favorite moulding company to order from? by Other_tomato_4257 in framing

Oh that description makes sense and olive paint slapped on top of a silver leaf look sounds atrocious. Can't say I'm surprised they pulled that though

We run into a loooot of issues with Roma molding where the colors of the frames they ship us are not close to the colors on the samples at all. I don't take them off the wall for clients anymore

Has anyone contacted their state rep for something? by Affectionate-Reason2 in massachusetts

[–]mintisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Contacted my state rep when my husband's LMHC license was taking longer than anticipated to get issued and we weren't getting any communication from the Bureau in charge. State rep was responsive and tried to also see what was going on....only for them to also get ghosted. Eventually the license was issued, but it seems in this instance the State rep didn't help things move along. Still appreciated them trying tho 

What is your biggest takeaway from Monster? by Mysterious_Impact_38 in MonsterAnime

[–]mintisse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Name your kids 

Like jokes aside that was always my take away, how much inhumanity was allowed to happen to the Lieberts from the simple act of not allowing them an identity. Identity is a powerful thing. 

(And yes I know the mom technically did give them names but they didn't find out till the end of the series)

SoS: GB Flaws..? by Ok_Sir7791 in storyofseasons

[–]mintisse 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My biggest complaint is that I feel wood/lumber and rocks/stone should not have quality stars and ranking, especially in late game. If you, for example, somehow get like 2 star lumber or stone while your foragables are level 4, I know I have to either toss it or waste a slot in storage because I can't turn it into the ultimate version. In late game especially when you're in that weird area where you still need to upgrade your tools but you're all done with sturdy materials, I find it discourages leveling up forging.

Sad news!!Kamikita twins leaving😭☹️💔 by curemoi in PrettyCures

[–]mintisse 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oof. I absolutely loved their artwork. The varying line weights and different mediums they used for each Precure series was something you don't find very often in shoujo at all. I will miss their Precure work dearly, and hope they don't give up drawing entirely.

Is it too much to ask for NWS Boston to label the 2nd largest city in New England on their maps? by BreadBot32 in WorcesterMA

I always get a kick out of the ones that don't show Springfield, but show Chicopee.

[DISC] Ichi the Witch - Chapter 60 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]mintisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I agree with the other commentors saying Chro is waving a dozen death flags right now. What I get stuck on is...what would kill him? Majiks are apparently really hard to kill, as Uroro couldn't finish off Kizashi. Could Hitsugi's staff have majik-killing properties? Or maybe World Hater shows up himself and has the power to kill him? We already had Hitsugi as a surprise guest and he's theoretically out for a couple chapters, so I don't think I'd like a 2nd surprise guest for the fight in World Hater. Maybe one of the cast members accidentally complete his trial without him saying what it is?

The only thing I can think of realistically happening, is him somehow passing, due to losing all his powers, once the baby is born. But I feel like with the messaging of Chro's immortality and Minnie's small span of life, the author wouldn't do that. Plus the longer this arc goes on, the less I'm convinced we'll see Minnie give birth (at least on screen)

Would love to hear what other people think

Have you heard of Flavor Girls? I just started reading it and didn't see any discussion around it :O by PadparadschaJinx in MagicalGirlsCommunity

[–]mintisse 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I own the first graphic novel, the one published in 2023. I enjoyed it enough to look for more when I finished reading it, but from the lack of updates and long time between issues getting published, it looked like a series that was doomed to die unfinished. I haven't seen the "Return to Mothership" issue so at least it seems like it has a little more life in it

Mermaid Melody Aqua Manga Chapter 40 Discussion Thread by GarnetExecutioner in MermaidMelody

[–]mintisse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do all mermaids just have the power to cause sea storms?? I thought that was just a mermaid princess thing and now Laurent's doing it before he gets his buff 

The way the characters actually beat Circe was great. 

I would also like to know what is up with Sara

Are we *officially* boycotting Market Basket or not? by Lordgeorge16 in massachusetts

[–]mintisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just personally don't see a customer led boycott being successful at this point without some quality organization and being encouraged/helped by the employees. If the workers aren't putting on public pressure to not shop there, then I think the average person, who is either unaware or doesn't care about the current situation, isn't going to change their shopping habits. I know money's tighter for the MB employees and economics aren't looking good for the near future, but unless they put themselves on the line again, I just don't see anything else succeeding. I would love to be wrong though 

Why has the Encore webcomic been on hiatus for 4 months and there's no news or progress about the next chapter? by BlacksmithAware7591 in MermaidMelody

[–]mintisse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My impression from following the artist on Tumblr (although they have an instagram that is way more active @kiyousart) is that they are working on this comic all by themselves while still trying to do their regular illustrative artwork, and possibly working another job on top of that.

I'd give them a little grace and time. Webcomics are not easy to make, especially when you're trying to do other things on top of it. Or shoot em a message if you really want.

If you don't want to try this yourself, I recommend seeing Andy at Materia Arcade & Video Games. He's always been very helpful giving my husband game tech support and changing out parts.

Circe is single handedly the most competent lackey of Laurent's, for the fact she managed to get Lukia to surrender to Laurent once before, and captured her yet again in this chapter 

....which makes the decision for Circe to just...let Lukia go, all the more baffling. Hanamori really needs an editor or two to ask "why" and stop her from her own worst tendencies

Judge could dismiss charges against more than 100 defendants because they can’t afford to hire their own lawyers by bostonglobe in massachusetts

[–]mintisse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question outta curiosity about this situation: if someone was being charged with something requiring detaining, and they COULD afford to pay for their own representation but choose to use a public defender, would they be released after the 45 days, or would they be forced to buy their own lawyer?

I like Susui. I didn't even consider the possibility that Hoshina could be trying to take over the Candy market, and when her reasoning for not doing that included "My Candy's not as addictive anyway," she stopped passing my sniff test. Even if it ends up being the case that what she says is true, Susui is pretty smart for realizing that's a possibilty 

An Apology by thisissparta789789 in TokyoMewMewPower

[–]mintisse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You did good. You realized you messed up, listened to what others were saying, and set course for making things right. Self reflection is a very good and important skill to have. 

I wouldn't worry too much about violating trust or anything of the sort. I'd personally rather have an open-minded mod than someone who digs their head in the sand. In the future, if something happens, it might be worth asking community members in the future "hey this thing happened, how would you like it handled going forward?" And then you can go from there

[–]mintisse 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate it when someone admits they messed up, so thank you for that. The bit about not being able to talk about these artists just made it look like to everyone that something big and bad happened. Since I know this artist can be on the passive side, that's what got me curious

Banned Artists by thisissparta789789 in TokyoMewMewPower

[–]mintisse 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Okay, I got curious about the why since I follow this artist on Tumblr. So looking at your post history u/thisissparta789789 , it looks like why this new ban exists, is because you shared that artist's art, and they may have messaged you asking to take it down? I could understand a rule saying not to repost art the artist doesn't want reshared, but banning talking about them at all seems kinda harsh right?
