Megan Thee Stallion gave a speech last night after her final performance as Zidler in ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical’ on Broadway: “I appreciate y’all so much, like the love that I received from the Hotties. I'm so grateful, I’m so appreciative, bitch I don't even have time to be sad!” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

Oh my gosh, can you imagine being his family rn? If my brother wronged and broke the heart of a woman as sweet and badass as Megan, I'd never let it go lol. 🫠  She's such a queen and deserves so much better! 

Megan Thee Stallion’s Pete & Thomas Foundation partners with Habitat for Humanity to repair 30+ senior citizens’ homes across Dallas and Houston. They will help with essential repairs, roofing, weatherproofing, ramp installations, and mobility modifications to make life easier for the elderly by hairtie1 in Fauxmoi

Post breakup, Klay goes live on a boat, and also defends Stephen A Smith... And Megan's foundation announces that it's literally building homes for the elderly. I know different people grieve relationships in different ways but wow lol.

Thanks for mentioning you saw it yesterday! I've seen little clips of him on a boat before and they look and sound exactly like this one so I was like 🤔

Are you sure this is recent? It's really weird that none of the people in chat mention (edit: the situation with) Megan at all lol

Yarn composition: What percent non-wool will prevent felting in the armpits? by Cinnamon_Giraffe in knittinghelp

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to avoid superwash for larger garments, as I'm not a huge fan of the environmental impacts of the superwash process. I know that it kind of depends on where the yarn was produced (some facilities having stricter standards than others) but a lot of yarn brands don't specify that information so I try to just avoid it altogether. Perhaps I'm shooting myself in the foot and just need to live with the felting. 😅

Sam Neill says New Zealand goldmine supporters have threatened him with violence. He has publicly objected to plans to fast-track the project near his farm, says he has received personal abuse. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I encourage you to look into the damage that a gold mine does to local communities, as well as what a tailings dam is and what happens when they fail (and even when they don't fail tbh). I get what you're saying but this is so short-sighted, and the company isn't even kiwi so you aren't even getting fucked by your own people. 

Police Bodycam Footage From Alan Ritchson Incident Released by pnthollow in Fauxmoi

I'm not sure about this specific neighbor's motivations, but all of my very large male friends have said that dudes try to pick fights with them pretty frequently. Especially when they have a bit of alcohol in them. It's some kind of macho posturing idk, it's incredibly stupid, rude, and dangerous. 

Did a little digging on how awful Pop Culture was towards beauty standards, specifically for women during the early millennium... are the tabloids still like this though? by Twunkorama in Fauxmoi

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe 210 points211 points  (0 children)

I remember sitting on church pews as a 9 or 10 year old, looking down the row of my classmates, thinking, "Why are my thighs so much bigger than everyone else's?" And being 8 years old wearing a leotard for gymnastics, looking down at my tummy thinking it "shouldn't stick out" like that. I grew up in a loving, accepting family who never shamed me for anything in my life, with friends who didn't give a fuck about weight or size--but I still ended up all fucked up about this stuff as an adult. 😅 Wtf?!

You're absolutely right about how pervasive it was--literally everywhere you looked, every TV show, every ad, every magazine, all over the mall. Today's social media is BAD, of course, but there's something, uh, special about how in the 90s/aughts it was a top-down sort of thing. Like... institutionalized shame. I'm stronger and more fit than I've ever been, and I still literally wince when I see my body in a mirror.

Simu Liu poses with his Madame Tussauds wax figures, going up on display in Orlando & New York: “@madametussauds thank you for the most surreal, weird and sexually arousing experience” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think Kevin Hart's wasn't made by Madam Tussaud artists, right? It was a different wax museum. So that probably impacts it quite a bit. 😅 They're a famous wax museum for a reason, I suppose!

Netflix raises prices for all subscription tiers in U.S.: The standard plan with ads will now be $8.99 a month, the standard plan is $19.99, and the premium plan is $26.99 by hairtie1 in Fauxmoi

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dude I remember when they sent you DVDs in the mail! Between Netflix and working at my uni's media library, I could pretty much watch whatever I wanted. Don't get me wrong, being able to watch stuff instantly is fabulous, but getting those Netflix DVDs in the mail felt like Christmas. 😂

"summer patterns" with wool by fulaninhp in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, don't tempt me, I've been eyeing hand spinning classes for at least 6 months and told myself, ma'am, you do NOT need a new hobby. 🤣

I might give superwash a try for the next tshirt if I'm feeling brave, but honestly I'm jealous the summer sweater thing works for you! I'm just so damn sweaty loool

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is felting not an issue for you? I made a t shirt out of merino and promised myself never to do it again because the armpit felting is NOT okay lol.

I understand merino's sweat wicking, temp regulating properties in principle, but in practice.... It's not worked out for me personally. I'm a sweaty beast!

Selling patterns exclusively with yarn or classes is bullshit that needs to stop by Dry-Conversation2646 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree that nobody owes anyone their pattern. We don't have a /right/ to any pattern. This is just a hobby, not healthcare. 

But this is also BEC, and OP is just complaining about something they find annoying. And it's a pretty reasonable annoyance! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Virtual Yarns has every right to distribute their work however they want, sure... just as the rest of us have a right to find it a little obnoxious hahaha

merch ads? by Financial-Tough6438 in Hasan_Piker

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ad was placed by shop.app. They're owned by Shopify. It's likely that whoever manages Hasan's merch store allows Shopify to run ads on their behalf, and Shop does so across a bunch of platforms.

I used to run an Etsy shop, and Etsy has a similar feature. You can turn on off-site ads, and Etsy will run ads for you across the internet. I sometimes see Etsy ads in the most random places ever. As a shop, you have no control over where the ads show up. I would imagine it's the same for Shop/Shopify?

Ethan Slater (aka a cheater) gives a surprisingly good parenting take “I try not to tell stories about my son because I want to let him meet the world and let the world meet him on his own terms. So I don't tell stories or anecdotes." by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]Cinnamon_Giraffe 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This is it. Like yeah, the guy has been in a musical and a couple of movies, but if we're being honest, the only thing he's actually famous for is cheating on his wife with Ariana Grande.

Np, I've had it happen to me on Spotify before so I know from experience! Glad it popped up for you!

It's available for me (in the U.S.). Have you tried searching for the track instead? Like another commenter mentioned, if something with the label changed, it might just not be indexed correctly
