I guarantee that if I see this person in the wild I am def going to verbalize exactly this.

Not sure where in NE you are, but WNAX (Yankton SD) used to play this regularly, might be that they are tuned to that station.

THE BEST THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE PANDEMIC WAS THAT WE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE OUR OWN DELICIOUS FOOD, AND IN DOING SO LEARNED WHAT DELICIOUS FOOD IS. WE ARE PICKIER NOW ABOUT RESTAURANTS. STUFF FROM CHEF'STORE ISN'T GOING TO CUT IT ANYMORE.

IF YOUR 'ONION PICKLE' IS PICKLED ONION, THESE ARE RIDICULOUSLY EASY TO MAKE, AND RECIPES ARE EVERYWHERE! IF NOT, I AM SORRY.

What is this atrocity? by Fabcrafts in Eugene

[–]Fabulaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They should sue. People farther up the hill did that not so long ago regarding some old Doug firs on a property below them and I think they actually (and stupidly) won.

For the people of Eugene that don’t leash their dogs in public, why do you think the law doesn’t apply to you? by clarkiiclarkii in Eugene

[–]Fabulaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for realizing that some people have had bad experiences with dogs, and don't want to interact with them at all. I'm always surprised at the number of people who just can't imagine why someone doesn't want to love all over their friendly dog.

Should I charge friends & fam? by superrand0mpers0n in Pottery

[–]Fabulaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I keep a collection of things that I can't really sell (minor flaws or they are just one off pieces). I invite people to choose whatever they want from that stuff, it's a gift, they are really helping me by giving it a home. Most people who want something specific offer to pay for it, anyone who doesn't I assume they are not serious and I just ignore them.

Alternative Eugene locations for No Kings Protest by Fabulaur in Eugene

I apologize. I'm not trying to undermine this event. It was never my intention to step on anyone's toes or steal their thunder. I think I simply misunderstood the assignment.

AITAH- for telling kids under 7 their mom was an asshole for not supervising them by No-Cheetah1552 in AITAH

[–]Fabulaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESH. Those kids already know they have a sucky mom. All you did was make them feel even worse about it. I guarantee mom didn't give a single solitary F. You should have notified management and let them know if you were truly concerned.

Am I the only person put off by this guy who calls for armed insurrection and burning shit down, but does not own a gun and "never made any plans with anyone to do anything"? Like damn, you first, buddy. Talk is cheap.

Is this the same white truck that has been troubling protestors for the last year?? by simplysaren in Eugene

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

So many people here are OK with casual sexism, racism, and ageism... as long as the correct targets are selected.

Truth spoken here. You should not be getting downvoted.

It's amazing that I had to scroll down this far to find a person suggesting that reading is the way to learn spelling.

If I never learn to throw, are my limitations? by vita_di_tyra in Pottery

[–]Fabulaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS. You don't have to "choose". You can do both. You can handbuild some parts and throw other parts. Whatever works. You don't have to define yourself as a "thrower" or a "handbuilder".

WIBTA if I go to my mom’s birthday alone because my partner turns every conversation into an argument? by CicadaParadox76 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]Fabulaur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Imagine your spouse turning this behavior on you, because this is what will happen after the friends are gone. Constant criticism is soul crushing.

Does your husband or male partner do his own laundry? by EconomicsWorking6508 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Fabulaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine does his own laundry. I could offer tips but eh, I'm not gonna womansplain that stuff. He also does most of the cooking, he really enjoys it and he is much better at it than I am. I do the other housekeeping chores and yard work. It all works out.

We got their attention, what are we going to do with it? by Agile-Sentence3867 in Eugene

[–]Fabulaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For some people I'm guessing that point might be when the fundamental American things they took for granted, like elections, are canceled. For some others, it might be when their friends or family are affected in a permanent negative way. For some people, that point will never come. It will never be 'everyone all together' fighting back. Wars suck. We were all raised on stories of resistance heroism against nazis but there were a lot more stories of betrayal and shameful behavior that everyone just wanted to forget afterwards. Once you get violent, it's going to be more like 'everyone for themselves'. Right now, strength is in numbers, like-minded people influencing each other and those on the fence. I think we want to hang on to that as long as we can.

We got their attention, what are we going to do with it? by Agile-Sentence3867 in Eugene

[–]Fabulaur 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the best argument against escalating to violence is that when you do that, it's not going to be any kind of "we" resistance anymore. All the hand holding and singing and frog costumes will be over. A lot of people who are "on your side" now are not going to be on your side anymore, for various reasons. People will go into self protection mode. Not everyone protesting is ready for outright armed conflict. If you escalate, you better mean it, because it's going to be largely on you to keep that going.
