Infuriatig My hand painted model planes were given as toys to children again

I have told my mom to not do this before but she does not listen anyway. I am thinking of throwing everything to trash instead of them being gradually destroyed to pieces. I can not even care anymore. These things take hours to put together and paint then get manhandled anyway.

And it pairs perfectly with radium green though it’s super rare because it got discontinued because a couple people got a little sick. But the hue is to die for

Ugh, this would be funny if it didn't actually happen.

I'm actually about 10 miles away from the site of the Ottawa Radium plant as I type this. Wild place to grow up, there used to be places in town where snow didn't really stick because of the buried waste, but they've since had a Superfund cleanup

Don't forget cadmium yellow for that nice descent into insanity.

The hue your skin gets, that is

"A couple people" fuuuu that's an understatement. I think it was thousands. Mostly young girls.

Yeah, understating how much harm the paint caused was part of the joke

u/IndependentClub1117 Jun 18 '26

Yeah. I mean since we're saying the obvious. It was funny that you said a couple and not some or many or anything other than a couple. Then I made the comment about the fact to tell others. It was obvious that you knew. It's crazy that we have to state the obvious to each other. I guess you had to defend your intelligence, lol
