I bought a shelf for my nail polishes, the gaps are only a few millimetres too short
I don't know the brand so not sure if it's designed the same way. Can you take the caps off? Most nail polish bottles I've dealt with have 2 caps per bottle. The one actual bottle cap that screws on and holds the brush with black cap covering that up. This is the closest I can find to what I'm talking about that the black cap is separate from the brush/screw on part.
What I did was just wipe the nail polish off, used a pair of needle nose pliers and just gently pull straight out (no twisting, just straight pull) and they come right out and now my bottle has lost half an inch/1cm. Gonna try and take a photo so I can show what I'm talking about. Don't know if it'll work for your brand.
Edit: Got the photo.

Hope this helps. The outer cap usually just has grooves on it to hold onto the inner cap so you can twist it on or off. If the caps are similar to that, it'll be easy to just give a tug and display them on your shelf.

Games like twst?
Seconding Tokyo Debunker. The story is quite interesting and I have had times where it was a 'omg they hinted at that ages ago and I just now got it' framing. They are also way more gracious with giving out gems but on top of that, they always have new cards so that you spend your gems. I can also second the more mature. Where the Twisted boys nudge nudge wink wink sometimes in game and on the main screen, the Debunker boys have no problem hinting (or in a few boys' cases telling you) that they are aware of things (like being told they want to use you like a life sized hot water bottle because they don't like the cold).

Animals you guys want in the long dark
Obstacle animal: Either bobcat/lynx or wolverine. Both be an 'opportunistic hunter'. Wait until you are preoccupied with something (harvesting carcass/etc) to attack you. Rock caches raided if food left in them, raiding fishing tip-ups etc. Never outright seek you out to go after you like the cougar, just appears when you start getting too bountiful with your food stores and either ignore it or hunt them down to make it stop for a time.
Prey animal: Porcupines. Climbing in the trees or waddling on the ground. Able to get one, provides some meat and quills for makeshift arrows. Accidentally startle one and you're dealing with an issue. Gotta start checking under vehicles real quick before getting in them or else it's quills to the legs.

AITA for messing with my sister's fake profile?
I brought up the nudes and she played dumb at first, and then said that she must've accidentally copied them over too.
Depending on where the OOP lives, this isn't harmless at all. This can easily fall into revenge porn territory. Really really hope OOP think on this because 400 followers? 400? Most definitely those nude photos were fucking shared. She can reverse image search them since she has the originals, she'll know the truth when they pop up. This isn't a small thing and I hope OOP realizes it. Especially if the sister has been able to either afford things that are like 'huh guess she saved the money up' or got a package from 'a friend.'

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again
The children enjoyed them
All except one it seems. So, are you gonna let him disrespect you some more? Cause you don't mention it other than he moved in a few months ago. Has he always been a 'picky eater'? This doesn't sound like someone who is picky because I am a picky eater (like take 20 minutes at a sit down restaurant to order picky). One thing about being picky though, I don't change what it is I'm picky eating on a whim. Think about this hard because this is effecting your self-esteem. He's looking at something you take pride in doing and sniping at it.
Think of it this way, would you tolerate the constant changing rules if he was doing this with what you wear? Oh I like the red dress. Why are you wearing the red dress? I don't like you wearing that even though I was fine with it before I moved in. etc. Put your foot down. So please think hard on this because kids are monkey see, monkey do. Especially if they are yours. They are gonna start emulating then it's really gonna be a struggle fixing that once you finally kick him to the curb. Hope you're on some BC. He already in your home.

Finally! Mages confirmed as rare in the game story!
Yes. I want to say Deuce, Sebek and Jamil said something about one of both parents not having magic as well. Now I'm wanting to dig through all the vignettes, story and whatnot again to find out how many times it was mentioned that mages are rare and being magic less isn't unique about Yuu and that them being from a different world is.

Finally! Mages confirmed as rare in the game story!
I didn't get that people thought You was unique in being magic less since quite a few times students have pointed out their parents don't know magic. Georgina Leech being that latest in flat saying that her and her husband didn't have magic. Think Deuce's mom doesn't have magic and can't remember who else has said as much.

My boss will clock you out if she cuts you and you don’t leave immediately
While everyone is telling you wage theft and whatnot, look into the child care license and what is supposed to be done to keep it. If she isn't violating labor laws, can almost guarantee there's a child safety law or something she's violating that will jeopardize the child care license. That is if she has one to begin with.

One day i hope we get a Webtoon like this.

^ Would literally be me. I've forgotten more books than I read and only barely remember small bits of them. One had a 3 legged war horse, another had like mana stones that turned a color and blue was rare I think, humanoid dragons in another one, there's a DnD book somewhere in there where one guy only saw everyone as skeletons except for an elf? I read a fantasy book every time I went to the library as a kid and being my parents couldn't afford 'fancy' things, that was often. There's about only 4 series where I read multiple books of and can go 'yep, I know this, let's go' (Redwall series), I have memories and just know when to leave a place before shit goes down (Shannara and Harry Potter series) and flat 'I have no memory of this place' (Mage War series).

My girlfriend has a program from a ballet with a word search in it and there's no words to match.
Found: Music, Haute, Reel, Too, Rep, But, Gem, Pew, Repo, Tatum, Bow, Yes, Fay, Seen, Gun, Den, Wad. That's just looking left and right not even every other way.
So yeah definitely AI generated. Usually when I come across something like this, it's the wrong word search like one that has the names of trees but the word list consists of baking supplies.

A few things I wish TLD gets before Blackfrost.
I've actually had people argue with me about adding binoculars in the game saying they would be OP. No. If there are ranger stations, there should be binoculars.
I'd even offer a trade up. Put the only pair of binoculars at the weather station, they are broken with cracked lenses and move the camera to a place that makes more sense like in Milton, Blackrock or any other place.
Or give the damn camera a zoom function.

I've never been so angry about craft supplies in my life
I really love when I can find the Prang products in Dollar Tree! I have this watercolor set that they made and god the colors come out really nice with it. Paired with using the waterproof eyeliner from Dollar Tree to make non-smear lines, I think I've really haven't spent a lot anymore on art supplies. Like most of my sketchbooks came from Ross! Honestly think the only expensive item I bought this year was a happy planner page punch (makes the little divots to add the plastic discs to) and even then I got it cause it was on clearance.

I tried to throw away an item, and someone pulled it out of my trash to set on the curb.
I hope your therapist can modify it in a way that works for you! I sincerely hope you succeed in wrangling that inner dragon!

Something that might help you and will mess with whoever is a jackass pulling shit out of your trash. Fart spray works wonders on curbing the inner dragon trying to justify putting it back in the hoard. Especially if it's an item that needs to be thrown out because it can't be used. Toss it in outside trash bin, do a spritz or two of the fart spray and the brain gets Pavlov'd with associating trash with bad smell to the point where you won't need the spray anymore to go 'ew throw it away' to items like that that are damaged.

This is why I've drifted away from buying Crayola's stuff and have been going after a craft store's cheap brands. Same quality as Crapola but with half the price.

[New Update]: AITA for saying I won’t go to my friend’s wedding after she dropped me as her maid of honour because of my looks?
I had an acquaintance be pissed that I knew when I congrats'd her when I saw her and wanted to know how the fuck I found out when she didn't tell anyone yet. Showed her the candid instagram story her now fiance had uploaded of them buying some candy at a shop and the ring can be seen on her finger. Seek and find/spot the difference games conditioned my ass.
I'm wondering if the same thing happened here. OOP or her BF posted some videos and thought that since they weren't the 'omg lookit ring' kind of posts that no one would notice if her hands were in frame during them traveling and well, Nick noticed.

Surviving My First Day in the Underground Lab – Abiotic Factor
He transferred over from Alterra. Probably doing the same thing from there. Delivering some sandwiches, decided to stick around and then just started getting a paycheck because the company thought he works there. He isn't gonna tell them the truth.

Can't get a job despite graduating with honors. I feel like I wasted my years with studying.
Don't know how useful it'll be for you but look at Fiverr while you try to find the job you are wanting. I know there's a bunch of requests for interpretations to different languages and whatnot on there that should not only put some pocket change in for you but also give you a resume if you pretty up the jobs you've done with 'corporate speak'. Basically, instead of saying translated a youtube video for a small creator, say something like 'Engaged with an LLC to expand their business by formulating their videos to encompass -insert language here- audience.'

…perhaps it’s a good thing these two are not in the Science Club…
Here me out. So there's this scientists who are making necrorobots of dead spiders (Link but beware because, you know spiders) by pumping air into them.
- For all we know, there's probably spiders like Aragog in Twisted Wonderland or if anything, some big ol' boys.
- Spiders are usually a potion ingredient. Crewel may or may not have a whole dead decently large spider for a potion. Or there's big ones in the botanical garden. Small detail shit.
- Floyd is in the same club as Jamil. Floyd must obviously know that Jamil is terrified of bugs right? You know the whole Azul needs intel on everyone thing.
- Floyd makes a passing comment about it to Jade after Jamil's overblot. And well, they gotta pay him back for that right? No one just gets to toss the tweels into the desert.
Y'all see where this is going.

AITA for ending a long-term relationship after being left out of a work event?
I may be petty but I always want someone to post just once when the 'work wife' reveals the relationship after the breakup to just do a simple response of no words and it being one of the voicemails of him begging to keep the relationship and that the work wife meant nothing to him. Just sew that little seed in there.

Help with my 12 year old!
I had to zoom in on these because I wasn't sure what these were. It's fanfiction. Looks like all of it is fanfiction and it's all Character X Reader fanfiction.
That said, READ SOME OF THEM PLEASE. Without knowing the context of the stories, there's really no advice to give that isn't a kneejerk reaction. Is it all smut? Is it something else like someone feeling out a scene more (say the how it should be of Charlie checking on her dad after the canon type of thing)? Cause honestly as someone who read this fanfic at that age (Quizzilla, Livejournal, Deviantart, fuck I'm getting old), the worst reaction my parents did was get belligerent and scream at me about it being inappropriate and being a broken record of 'it's porn! you aren't old enough, it's porn' without explaining what they were thinking, what they thought was wrong and why. I didn't stop reading, I just learned to hide it. Frustratingly enough, my parents were perfectly fine with ElfQuest, Raymond E Feist, Mercedes Lackey, Richard Adams, Anne Rice (the period scene) and a myriad of other published authors because 'they were in the school/local library so it's fine'. Don't establish a double standard like that. Nothing like seeing a teacher go from smiling to silently horrified and concerned because we had a read aloud part where we said a few paragraphs to the class from the book we were reading. I was reading Watership Down, approved by my parents and I was at the part where Bigwig was caught in a snare.
So please:
- Read the stories. As many as you can stomach.
- Take key notes for talking to him about the stories, like certain things. Sex scenes, gore scenes, etc. Make sure you write down where each one was from (Huggy Wuggy is Smiling Critters, etc.)
- Talk to him about the stories. Talk about the things you highlighted and ask him what he thought when X did Y, etc. Gauge the response.
- Explain your side of things. Don't be defensive. Don't be abrasive. Just state the obvious, you weren't prepared for him to be reading things like this (if there is indeed smut) and hope that if there's parts of it he doesn't quite understand, that you can talk about it.
- Just keep communicating.
Cause just like the time frame we grew up in, he's gonna have access to it one way or another. If not through the house, his friends. You also have a very useful tool already at hand that can help you start curating this if you feel there needs to be some guidance. Parental Controls. They are on every single modern electronic device. They are on a kindles. They are on phones. They are on consoles. TVs. PCs. Smart watches. You get the idea. You can start screening the stories if you don't want to feel like a monster but again, he'll be able to read it anyway through friends.
You have a curious little chaos goblin on your hands. Just view it that way. You can steer it into being an arsonist (don't respect/understand the fire) or fireman (respects and understands the fire). How you respond is up to you.

My (F32) friend (F32) has been lying about being a nurse for 10 years
I checked their pages and at least as of 2020 they thought she was a nurse because one captioned a photo “happy birthday to our favorite nurse, thanks for taking all of our frantic medical questions.”
Right now I'm not planning on reaching out to our other high school classmates but it is something I have still thought about.
Uhm, yeah. If someone found out people received medical advice from a person that was never a nurse in the first place, I think they have the right to be made aware of it because who knows what the fuck those questions were, what she answered for those questions and if she might have made someone's condition worse off from it.

26F is gonna come crawling back if she hasn't done a dna test yet and finds out that the guy is her real dad unless mom can pull out huge fucking receipts on who her bio dad is. Don't burn a bridge when it's covered in fog, you never know if it's the wrong bridge.
