i dont really know if i should let my wrinklers idle or if i should go for some gc combos to get more upgrades/buildings what do i do?

You're worse that fake react channels on yt that just take viral clips on tiktok and say nothing to add to it. You're fuxking worse that companies feeding off your data to train AI. Yall are worse than Microslop in every way possible. Anyone who does this and defends it should be permabanned by IP, console and account. I had no paint, no support, no nothing. It was a 1v4 so what could I have ******* done? Nothing, that's what. No amount of shooting at balloons or overanalyzing this absolute clusterfuck of a match out like an English literature teacher will change this.

So I've been on this kick lately trying to recreate classic homemade orange candy recipe treats from my childhood, and last weekend I finally tried making old fashioned orange slice candy that's actually chewy and translucent like the ones from grandmas orange drop candy days. Honestly didn't think I could pull it off at home but these turned out SO pretty, like little jewels sitting on my counter. The whole process was way more doable than I expected and my house smelled like a citrus dream for two days straight. Here's what I used: 3 small oranges or tangelos (about 18-20 slices) 3 cups granulated sugar 3 cups water How I made it: 1. First thing ...

I’m not trying to fat-shame anyone - I’m genuinely trying to understand something. I’ve noticed that sometimes women who are slightly above what society considers the “standard” weight actually look beautiful, attractive, or even flawless. I understand that being thinner doesn’t automatically mean being healthier. But what confuses me is that I’ve also seen people who smoke, eat junk food, and drink alcohol still look very good aesthetically. For context, I’m 5’6”. I used to weigh around 60 kg until 2020, but over the last five years I’ve gained about 15 kg. I’m honestly not happy with how I look now. No amount of skincare, fashion, or grooming seems to make a diffe...

Morris Bench was in the middle of Central Park, a half-empty water bottle in his hand. Peter laid a firm grip on his shoulder before they embraced, then left for a nearby coffeeshop to catch up. They had met in Midtown High, though he moved abroad after roughly a year or two. Somehow, they were close enough to stay friends after all this time. They reminisced over the good days — Morris helping Peter build his now-massive physique, and Peter using his inherent brain to advance Morris’ struggling grades — for a good hour or so before he mentioned his job as a swimming coach. When asked how work was and what he did, Peter simply remarked that he handled money here and there, but the off...

The modern fashion industry offers two distinct yet interconnected career paths: the creation of physical garments and the strategic storytelling behind a brand. Many students struggle to choose between a technical design role and a creative communication role. Understanding these differences is essential before enrolling in a [fashion designing course in Chandigarh](https://iifd.in/). This guide clarifies each field to help you make an informed decision for your professional future. # Defining Fashion Designing: The Art of Creation Fashion designing focuses on the physical birth of a garment. It is a technical field that requires a deep understanding of human anatomy, textiles, and constr...

I’m looking for people who I can chat with. Not those simple : ‘hi hru, wyd’ kinda texts. But the deeper, more meaningful connections that you make by having silly, interesting conversations with eachother day to day! I’m hoping someone will read this and think- ‘hey! I’d like to be friends with this person’ and stick around for awhile! Without rambling too much here’s a little ‘about me’! I’m 25 (so politely, no one under 21, please!) My hobbies include: gardening (I’ve had over 300 plants at one point) creating art (whether it’s physical art on paper, digital art, tattooing, etc) I enjoy all art!!! I love listening to music, my assortment of music is quite, some...

Not a complaint, not looking for advice... Just felt I needed to come here and tell you about my first Upwork experience hiring talent for a project. Way back in July 2025 I posted a job for a WordPress module and corresponding iOS/Android app that needed to be completed in time for an event in May 2026. I had a budget but I didn't know if it was too little. I was willing to pay, I just wasn't sure how much the real cost would be. I consulted with a professor at a local university who runs a program where students develop apps commercially and he suggested that, even overseas, a programmer would be asking for 3 or 4x what my budget was. I went ahead with my initial budget, leaving ...

Whatchu know about using a spoon to stir Kool-Aid because you ain't have no blender, so you just pray it all mixes in one go? Whatchu know about making dinner with just some rice, beans, and ketchup, but you pretend it’s gourmet? Like, “Yeah, we call this ‘cuisine de la street’.” Whatchu know about hearing your mom say “We got food at home” when you ask for McDonald's, and then she pulls out a can of tuna and crackers? Whatchu know about playing video games on a console so old, you gotta **** into the cartridge like it’s a flute before you can play? Whatchu know about the light bill getting cut off, so you pull out every candle in the house like it’s a power o...

Ultra-realistic candid grocery store portrait of a smiling woman standing inside a refrigerated dairy aisle. She poses playfully while holding two gallon-sized milk jugs, one in each hand, elbows slightly bent. Hair styled in a sleek low updo with soft face-framing strands. Bright, friendly expression with direct eye contact and a confident, cheerful smile. She wears a fitted turquoise mini dress with thin straps and a scalloped neckline. Glossy fabric texture with subtle highlights and natural folds. Sun-kissed skin with realistic sheen and visible texture. Minimal yet polished makeup: softly defined brows, subtle eyeliner, warm blush, and glossy pink lips. Delicate gemstone necklace at th...

Hey all! I'm thinking of going down to philly to go thrifting but I'm unsure where to go. I went to DC and didn't find any alt fashion (e.g., diy clothes, punk, emo, grunge, etc) at any of the stores. Are there any good places in philly that might be good to check that may have a chance of having some alt clothes?

I remember when Twice Members were belittled because they didn't used have any solo luxury brand deals or endorsements before 2021. Its not like they didn't have brands deals, they had tonnes maybe the most between GGs during 2016-2019 but they always represent as whole groups and for all sorts of stuffs like MLB, Lotte Mall and Hotels, LG appliances, Foods and Beverage like Coca-Cola, School Clothing, Mobile Games,Mobile Networks , Banks etc. They have done it all. I am not gonna list deals which are ended like Nayeon's famous LVMH deal which is from 2021 till 2025, Dahyun for Apieu or Mina for Metro City etc. Also gonna include only Brand Muse, Brand Ambassador and Campai...

I find it hard to make any meaningful choices, as if I don't quite trust my judgement and feel like everything around is not suitable for me, but at the same time cannot point out what would be suitable for me. For instance, clothes. I work in fashion design, and after college decided to avoid plastic in my clothes, which left me w very few options in the market. As a result, my wardrobe turned into a mismatched assortment of stuff that no longer work for my lifestyle/work and that I outgrew mentally. I recently went shopping, and stood in the store for an hour puzzled about what kind of persona I want to become through new clothes: a cutie pie, a baddie, a more mature girl boss or bo...

Ordered the Morilee dress 21832 in ivory for my wedding. I know it is an inexpensive dress but at $370 (that includes tax,) I noticed an inconsistency in the bust. In the excitement, I didn’t notice in store. It wasn’t until comparing the two sizes, seeing what I liked differently and what I wanted to alter, that I realized the pleating of the bust was entirely different. It’s almost bunched up like a scrunchie opposed from the very intentional folding of the original. No matter how much I try to adjust it, I cannot make it look the same. Additionally,on the larger dress, the fabric covered less of my bust…I wonder if the same amount of fabric is used from one size to the next creati...

It was a culture I was born into and has been existing for two generations before us. Our family was quite open that it wasn’t restricted to family by blood, but for those who have stood by us through sad and difficult times were seen as family too. My mum was a sweet soul, kind and welcoming to all. She loved to knit and crochet and all her gifts were always of that form. Her hands were extremely talented that on multiple occasions I have considered opening an online store on alibaba just so she could supply. She wasn’t just good in that department, In fact she was a good seamstress and an exceptional fashion designer. She would get her inspirations from everything and anything and sh...
