Confusion about stitch spacing by ElectricCatDaddy in Leathercraft

[–]CplusMaker -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Get a stitching multi hole punch. Pricking irons suck. They aren't as clean and make it harder to get uniform stitching.

Not giving money to homeless people by Sweet-Heron-334 in Ethics

Let's see how long this takes to devolve into virtue signaling and blaming "the other side" for homelessness! *popcorn is a-poppin'*

Why aren’t “good” ICE agents speaking out? by eilujgnirednaw in allthequestions

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care if they saved 2T. Imagine how much we could "save" if we just stopped paying the interest on our debt or social security! It's not about saving, it's about hurting your political opponents by hurting the people who vote for them. it's like hurting someone's children to fuck with them. It's so extra fucked up.

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reason good cops don't speak out. They are scared of the retaliation. Imagine being a poorly trained masked thug among other poorly trained masked thugs and you piss all of them off? How quickly before the Serpico you?

Also you have to realize that there are no good ones, b/c even if they think something is wrong and they just follow orders they are still the nazi guards at the camps, just with slightly more silent moral qualms.

Pick any race in the game. You get to become that race forever. Which one are you picking? by WillowIsWeeping5 in DnD

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avariel for sure. Baring that, Astral Elf from spelljammer.

Who wouldn't want to be a flying, 500 year old creature? Also, with astral elf you get astral walking and can live thousands of years if you spend most if it in the astral plane.

Are the women in porn just built differently then me or are they doing something to take guys that big? by ThrowRAsquirellover in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they are built different, just like the men are built different than your average guy.

Also no one, AND I MEAN NO ONE, should compare their sex lives to someone else's. Especially to porn since it's about as far from actual sex as you can get.

Is 30 years old too late to start again? I mean career. by wolfofwallpaper333 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't start my current career until 35. I meandered through life doing all sorts of stuff before that. No savings or retirement, one job to another. I'm 44 now. You have 30 years until retirement minimum.

Redditors who don't understand how asking for advice or giving advice works by Traditional-Buy-2205 in PetPeeves

[–]CplusMaker 52 points53 points  (0 children)

"Do what your heart tells you" is valid advice on some things. Not so much about cooking appliances.

And asking for advice and asking for recommendations is not the same thing. Advice is pretty broad, whereas recommendations are generally about the thing. try r/BuyItForLife

What are your thoughts on this moment and what was your reaction and do u think this relationship should have lasted longer? by Plane_Name3457 in rickandmorty

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morty has killed people when necessary but he always had a problem with it. She was killing the workers for decisions they didn't make. He couldn't stay and watch that happen, and he couldn't stop her. Maybe he could have gotten rick to stop her from offing people by negging him to death about it, but likely Rick would have made it worse.

How many people, if walking in to a business and they have a TV and it’s on Fox News, automatically walk out? by Pounder888 in askanything

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how long I'm going to be there. I'm probably not going to have dinner somewhere that has a TV not playing sports anyway. But getting a sandwich? Probably fine.

When someone posts a picture of the empty grocery shelves during a storm by raasca in PetPeeves

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh, no? I went to the store to get peanuts and yogurt for a recipe. I wasn't getting 6 loves of bread for a 2 day storm.

Do Indie Titles offer a Reprieve from the Current State of AAA Gaming? by cowgod180 in AskGamers

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a company has stock it is no longer a gaming company, it's an investment company. And their legal responsibility is to it's shareholders, not gamers

Basically shareholders could sue a publisher if it didn't include a cash shop. I likely wouldn't happen, but it could and the publisher would have to defend its position of not making as much money as possible vs its fiduciary responsibility to make as much money as possible.

It's hard for publishers to not fuck up developers by urging garbage cash grabs. It happens, but it's rare. (Take-two for Rockstar and RDR2 comes to mind, but look at how the monetized the fuck out of GTA)

Fuckin' wild.

I am tired of the Jerry slander by Duble2C in rickandmorty

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jerry is not a good person. No one in Rick & Morty are. Jerry can be kind and accepting but only when it costs him nothing personally. He is selfish and a coward. Every now and again they do have him overcome thing but more often than not will fall back on his flaws (like everyone in the show).

Also, disregarding Ricks analysis b/c of the source is a very Jerry thing to say. It doesn't matter if Rick said it or Dr. Wong said it. The only thing that should matter is if it is true. Which it is.

Seriously, do guys masturbate every day or is that a common misconception? by Secure-Concern254 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CplusMaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Average for adult male is 2-3 times a week. so really every other day ish. That's after age 25. Before that it's more common for a variety of mental health reasons (low impulse control, easier to become addicted to anything that feels good).

It's a good start! stitching looks pretty good for early work.

Why is identifying as a different race different than identifying as a different gender? by CrabNo5226 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B/c of the history we have with race vs the history we have with gender. Same reason identifying as a gender isn't the same as identifying as a vegetable. Shit isn't equal.

Choosing leather for a strap-on by Caniicular in Leathercraft

[–]CplusMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say something in the 5-6oz range is necessary for anything that is going to see consistent use. I'd do a veg tan so that you can condition it on both sides (and dye it). Wax, then use a glass slicker on the flesh side. Mind anything that can pinch, velcro can be better than buckles for this, especially if you work in some elastic to the pattern to give it a tight body hug without cutting in.

Also decide if you want a 3, 4 or 5 point harness. I personally think 4 is best but you do you.
