These little dudes always look so put out from the front perspective!

Beehaw Dark is exactly what I've been looking for as a starting place, and I can adjust minimal things here and there if I need to. Thanks for taking the time to make and share these with us!

Just a few tweaks, because you've done so much of the work that I needed already. (I think the hardest part of re-theming is picking colors that work well, and you did that to perfection.)

  • upvote hover and activated upvote color
  • navbar links and hover
  • comment text color (this bit is personal preference due to some color deficiencies on my end)
  • updated info root color to match theme
  • change modlog colors to my own preferences based on your themed colors

One of the reasons I find theming colors so difficult is that I have color determination deficiencies (not full color blindness). One reason I love my web services job is that my organization has a marketing team to determine the colors, so I can do my CSS theming for our products based off the pre-determined hex codes. :D

I thought that was a huge plushie for way too long!

North Dakota is okay with taking crap as long as we get paid for it. 🙃

Our cat gets arthritis injections, and it helps her so much! I hope Champ gets as much relief from them as she does.

My organization just switched from this a few weeks ago! 😬

I still get comments of surprise when I explain why we moved to our current location: it was for my job, and my husband was the trailing spouse. For us, it was a fresh start, because he really disliked his job at the time and it was a chance for him to find something new. My job also allows him to work part time and to focus on another aspect of career that isn't a job (and doesn't currently bring in money) but is very important to him.

I would love to see this become more of a norm (is 50/50 too much to ask?), because there are so many pink-collar careers that require movement to get into or move up these days.

I'm in the same boat as you. 7 Wonders is okay, but I adored 7 Wonders Duel and find myself going back to it again and again with my spouse.

Yes, and it's super annoying that I have to remember to ctrl-click everything. :/

I've used Joey for years. (I've never used the official app.)

I'm not using anything right now and have deleted one of my accounts. I'll be deleting the other one in the next week.

I never understood why it wasn't more popular! I tried others but always came right back to Joey.

STUX! It's wonderful to see you and Washy over here, too! The more places I get to see your two bubs, the better.

Feel like I'm shilling a bit here, but I've been able to significantly reduce the amount of clutter that comes into my home every day with CC, which not only helps my mental state, but of course the environment as well. I don't have ADHD, but I can imagine that using a service like this might be able to significantly reduce...

I've used CC for years and years, and they've built the service up so much. I'm still amazed that it's remained free the entire time.

Our girl is 17, and she has the same uncanny ability to know when I'm going to try to take a picture—even if she's dead asleep!

I love these little guys! Mantises are so alien and so earthy at the same time.

I prefer co-op games over others, so I love this question.

  • Castle Panic
  • Pandemic (with the easy difficulty level for beginners)
  • Eila and Something Shiny

Does anyone have any recommendations for 2 player games that aren't that competitive? I like to play games with my girlfriend but don't want anything that is going build animosity between us.

Whimseymimple,
@Whimseymimple@beehaw.org avatar

My spouse and I like to play a lot of two-player games, and I'm not huge on ravenous competition.

  • Castle Panic
  • Eila and Something Shiny
  • Pandemic
  • Codenames: Duet
  • Marrying Mr. Darcy (especially if either of you are Jane Austen fans)
  • Takenoko
  • Wavelength
  • Too Many Poops
  • Zombie Dice (we bought little plastic brains and play until the brains run out before counting to see who has the most: it's pretty low key!)

AITA for telling my sister her ring was sketchy?

This happened a while ago and is potentially an ongoing issue, so I figured I could kick us off.

This is between me (31F) and my sister (36F).

I'm studying to become a gemologist. I've completed about 90% of the coursework and have a ton of new knowledge and even a decent amount of practical experience. I don't make myself out to be an expert, but I definitely know a lot more than the average person and maybe even some jewelers.

So my sister and I were talking on Zoom and I mentioned something cool I saw recently. She said "Oh! I have this ring and it's a star opal, what does that sound like to you?" Completely automatic, unfiltered, I replied with "Sketchy." She got a little annoyed and told me she would get it so she could show me (through Zoom.) Thing is, star opal isn't... real. Not in the same way that you see star sapphires. They don't have the crystal structure or formation conditions for it. So she shows me via zoom and I say "That's really pretty, but I really don't think that's opal since they don't form that way, maybe it's something else." She got defensive and said that her friend got it for her in Thailand (not confidence-inspiring tbh) and that it was just something I haven't seen before. I ended up telling her I'd look at it the next time I see her or something.

AITA for calling my sister's ring sketchy? WIBTA if she shows it to me again of her own volition and I tell her what it actually is (probably glass)?

This might be the way to get her to listen: suggest that if it is what she says, it's so rare that it should be insured by a reputable insurance company.
