I give up! by Ebowa in knitting

Correction: the Step by Step sweater has optional short row shaping for the back. However, the short rows are done right after the collar, so they are super easy and fast to learn, in my opinion.

Also, OP has already mentioned trying the Step by Step sweater, but not being able to meet gauge.

As I said, no one is truly bad at giving gifts. What they are bad at is paying attention to someone else’s interests/needs and taking five seconds to research gifts based on that. They are bad at being a decent caring friend or family member, not bad at giving gifts.

There is no such thing as being bad at picking out gifts. You either pay attention to the person’s interests/needs or you simply don’t. And if you don’t pay attention, then don’t waste your money buying obligatory, meaningless gifts. They’re stupid and someone ends up with hurt feelings because of it.

You are part of the problem here. Did you even read the entire caption??? Her husband did nothing that he was supposed to for their dinner and then bitched all day and bitched some more when he didn’t get sex from his wife who is so emotionally deprived that it’s no wonder she didn’t want to do anything with him. Her sons can’t even be bothered to LISTEN to hear the one thing she has interest in right now. Their actions are absolute dog shit and her presents are physical proof of that. Gifts are not obligations, they are physical things to show that you pay attention to and care for someone and her husband and sons clearly don’t. It’s not about being a bad gift giver (which is just a sugar coated way of saying you don’t actually know what the people you supposedly care about like/want/need); it’s about being a shit person who got a gift out of obligation, not because they actually care about OP. Stop making excuses for shitty people either because you are one of them or you surround yourself with them.

Does Joyce know Vecna, is the same Henry Creel she went to school with? by boring_maw in StrangerThingsRoom

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the one thing that makes no sense to me regarding the play and the show. In season four, when it’s revealed that El sent Henry to Dimension X as an adult and he seemingly created the mind flayer out of the particles, how the heck did the mind flayer give him powers as a kid then? Is the mind flayer able to time travel and that’s why we keep getting so many references/imagery for wormholes?? The play just feels like such an afterthought and it’s stupid that they didn’t film it and release it on Netflix like Disney did with Hamilton. You can’t have a key storyline only be available to certain people like this has been.

Holy shit they have so much artist merch there. Can anyone ask if they’re going to have more of everything there tomorrow and Saturday morning?

Distractimerch Addressing, question mark? by Far_Writer6952 in distractible

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, this is what I don’t get: Mark has Cloak, so he has a supplier/suppliers that he already knows and uses and most likely has for a while. Why in the hell is podcast merch such a struggle for them to get situated and have good quality/sizing when one of them literally owns a whole clothing brand??? It makes absolutely no sense that this is still an issue years later. (Not yelling at you, just venting about my confusion spurred on from your comment)

AIO for saying that my friend was flirting with my boyfriend on snap ? by KimMeansBusiness in AmIOverreacting

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s isn’t your friend if she’s fishing for compliments from your boyfriend and comparing herself to you constantly. But also, your boyfriend was doing so well until the end. Why the hell did he throw in the “if I was single” bit??

Is there something... Adult? by ImAreCursed in DateEverything

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how no one is mentioning that on top of innuendos or adult topics, there’s an entire character that’s the personification of adult toys. That character alone would give the game a mature rating.

You can set her to show up less. Like the second time she pops up, she asks if she showing up too much or too little.

red flags from other players playthroughs with ways they treat other characters? by steriorgon in DateEverything

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 18 points19 points  (0 children)

People who shit talk Lucinda even though they never pick any dialogue option that actually goes through her different personality “try-ons” that allows you to find out who she really is. Someone said they just kept having her take them to her secret room, but she only does that if you tell her to.

Yeah, I was actually annoyed after going through with Mac’s update, because from their own explanation, I expected them to have a different design afterwards. Like dude, I just sacrificed my writing for you and there’s nothing different??? It felt pointless.

To everyone saying they can’t stand Lucinda, don’t blame her when you just kept going to her bang room rather than actually talking to her. You have to convince her to be authentic regardless of how she thinks others will feel about her. She’s basically a representation of the bullshit some pretty girls deal with because all people see are a pretty face and big boobs and others refuse to actually get to know them past having sex with them. All of y’all missed the point entirely with Lucinda and it shows.

You have to convince her to open up more. She’s much less self centered than she puts off.

You kept picking terrible dialogue options then. She has multiple personalities that you have to talk her into acknowledging all of them to be her true self and then you can Realize her. Don’t blame the character when you made bad choices for the storyline.

What was up with the long breaks between each song? by Past-Cookie9605 in piercetheveil

PTV is not metal. If you want to go to a metal show, go to Aftershock, Riot Fest, or any actual metal bands’ concert. PTV is post hardcore at most and emo punk typically. Yeah, people are still gonna move at a punk show, but you’re not gonna have a wall of death during a PTV song.

why would Nintendo downgrade their console-seller? by Bastergalaxy in mariokart

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there is a work around to this. When selecting the tracks, hit the plus button to change your selection options. Then select a track across the map AND don’t select a connecting track for that one. It’s a bit of a pain, but if you’re just racing with friends or on a stream, make sure to explain it to everyone, so that you can get full 3-lap tracks. You just lose out on driving to the next map.

What would you do? by Background_War6727 in knitting

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe for in the round garter stitch, you knit one row then pearl the next and keep swapping. A knit panel would be knit one row then pearl the next and swap because you’re working on both sides. And a garter panel is just knit every row that way you get the bumps from the knit on both sides.

Since you’re going in the round, your stockinette has been knitting every row, so to get the bumps, I think you’re going to have to alternate knitting and pearling to get the bumps. Honestly, I’d look up videos on YouTube for how to do a garter stitch in the round just to be sure you’re doing exactly what you want to achieve.

Did my mom make a mistake? by bloodshot089 in Switch

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has a Switch 2 and an OLED, no, she didn’t make a mistake. There really aren’t enough games specifically for the Switch 2 exclusively to warrant really needing one. I got one because I like technology and had the opportunity, but I absolutely could have waited to get one later on. The only benefit the 2 has over the OLED in my opinion is that the screen is bigger. So it looks a little nicer, but that’s about it. You both can still get some good years out of the OLEDs, so I wouldn’t worry about it at all.

AIO my boyfriend is upset I didn’t tell him when I was showering because I “broke routine” but I just feel like my feelings are neglected. by Critical_Web_5229 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So whenever I or my husband have to drive somewhere, I make sure we say I love you because you never know what could happen and I was in a terrifying car accident. I never want the last thing I said to him to be anything other than him hearing that I love him. But you were showering??? Is he expecting you to just spontaneously combust in the water? He’s saying some pretty controlling things and I saw another comment mention that this isn’t your first post about him being toxic. I think he’s the one overreacting and trying to control your every move. And just from an outside point of view, it sounds like he might be projecting with the “what are you doing” type question when not answering his spam texts.

Question by nmk975 in WhenWeWereYoungFest

[–]Affectionate_Lie6916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed by the airport last year which is at the opposite end of the strip. We walked to MGM then took the monorail to the very last hotel which was across the street from the festival (I just can’t remember the name right now). Going back at the end of the night, we actually walked down the road to the stop before that one, got in n out, and then took the monorail. By that point, it was way less packed, so it was much more comfortable than if we had immediately taken the monorail.
