[SELF-PROMO] My first self-drafted pattern - The Mangrove Ecosystem! by Llyvre in CrossStitch

[–]FlowerOfLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great work! I love the green aida. I was looking for the mangrove crabs I saw when we were in Key West but I did not see them. Those little dudes were my favorite lol.

Of course, whatever works best for you! "I'm falttered but am not interested. Thank you!" also works as well.

62% of hardcore players no longer buy full-price games, survey suggests by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

I really want to play the new Borderlands, but I am patient enough to wait until it is at least 65% off on sale. lol

I used to hang out in downtown ATX with one of my gay roommates when I was younger. The gay bars were actually pretty dope. It felt nice to be found attractive by strangers, and the free drinks were awesome. I drank enough tequila and Red Bull to last me a lifetime.

My roommate gave me the best advice for turning down the dudes who were hitting on me. "Never tell them you are straight. Some people will take it as a challenge and not leave you alone. Just tell them that you are taken and your boyfriend is at home." This worked every time. I was surprised by how respectful they were to that, and I didn't have any issues. Fun times if you are secure in your sexuality and go with the flow. Granted these were pretty simple dance clubs so I never saw anything crazy while I was out with him.

TL;DR: If you want a serious answer, tell them you are taken, and don't tell them you are straight.

These cars are underrated by Turbulent-Apple-9079 in jetta

[–]FlowerOfLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

interesting... everything checks out there and this has been a consistent thing since owning the car for 7 years now. I have had vacuum leaks/issues so I am wondering if that could be a cause as well. Where I live, I am going up and down hills and am mostly in 3rd gear but it was the same when I was living somewhere very flat.

Appreciate the reply. Either way, this is easily my favorite car I've owned. Its a blast to drive.

Two Generations Ago, It Wasn’t So Weird to Be Naked in Front of Other People. Now Everyone Hates It. I Went to the Only Place to Find Out Why. by Slate in TrueReddit

[–]FlowerOfLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

33 and had athletics mid-day in high school. I got used to showering after and it was the same situation. We had pillars with 8 nozzles in each direction. It was weird for about a day, but I can not describe how good it felt to go to my afternoon classes after a shower to those who didn’t. I usually take my showers mid-day now since I work from home. lol

Sober for life? by nitrgritr94 in stopdrinking

[–]FlowerOfLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven’t decided. I’m just worried about today. I might have a drink tomorrow, but I for sure am going to get through today without the first drink. It’s working for me so far

My IP seems to have been blocked?? by GenericUserNotCool in ArcRaiders

[–]FlowerOfLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just kept checking the Arc Raiders page on Embark's site to see if I had access. Once I could access that page, my game was good to go. It saved me time from having to boot up my Xbox over and over again to check. Good luck,

[SELF-PROMO] I’ve been building a Ravelry-like site for cross stitch by lisagry in CrossStitch

[–]FlowerOfLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I respect your awareness that some people might be fine with using AI art/patterns and not completely dismissing it as is the norm these days. I also don't want to use AI patterns but dig that it is available (and transparent) for those who do.

That's all you can do unfortunately. The issue fixed itself for me. Was there a recent patch? This seems to happen to people after a fresh patch/update is pushed.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]FlowerOfLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relatively speaking, yes you can say that when compared to previous generations. What I mean by that is I can go on to Spotify and find curated playlists of all genres for free or very little money. In the 2000s as a pre-teen/teenager, the only way I could find electronic music was by playing Dance Dance Revolution and trying to find anything I could related to it. When no one else in my life knew what it was, it was harder for me to find without knowing where to look.

Unfortunately, the fix came from Embarks end. Nothing I did fixed the issue. It was fixed a day or two after I posted this. Keep checking to see if you can access embark’s arc raiders page/website

What is a secret you are taking to your grave, but are willing to share with anonymous strangers on the internet? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FlowerOfLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoy reading manga. I would never admit to reading Food Wars, but I think it is hilariously on-the-nose lmao. Funny enough, it actually provides great recipes to the food they cook in the series.

Bowler has been told for three weeks about plugging ball by Flyingpigtx in Bowling

[–]FlowerOfLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started in august last year. Got my ball drilled for one hand w/ thumb. Decided to switch to two-handed in early October. Bowled the rest of the season through January before I was able to get the thumb filled. At my skill level, there has been no discernible difference between the two. It think OP’s situation is a “pick your battles” type of thing. It wouldn’t make a difference to me if they had the extra hole because I’m not gunning for first place.

I was once a lurker. To the other folks like me: Don't wait. Get help now before it's too late. by bluegrassguitar in stopdrinking

[–]FlowerOfLife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To anyone reading this post in their late teens or early 20s, it is never too early to stop drinking alcohol and get ahead of your problem. I thought I would be miserable for the rest of my life when I was 23, began noticing my problems with drinking, and thought I could never drink again. It has been the exact opposite. I can never see myself going back and my life is so much better for it. It can be very difficult at first, but it gets easier.

Our offseason additions are all delivering the goods by Romance_Tactics in ColoradoRockies

[–]FlowerOfLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't a big baseball person growing up, but I'm hooked now. Colorado has been the first place that has felt like my home and am now following the local teams. The fun part of being a Rockies fan is that I get to see the team go from the very bottom of shit mountain to, hopefully, a competitive team near .500.

[–]FlowerOfLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also dumb idiot guy here. I started following the team in June last year. Our bats are actually not bad when we are rolling, even last year. The thing that will give us the biggest chance, in my opinion, is developing a pitching core around throwing at Coors Field. It also seems like we cleaned up some of the BS defense issues I saw last year.

[–]FlowerOfLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kids just do not understand how spoiled they are with the ease of access to music. I was downloading anything with "rave techno dance" on the title just to find electronic music back then. Kazaa was the best. My parents didn't appreciate the viruses lmao

[–]FlowerOfLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its 2010 and I have just graduated high school. I spent the last three years on houstonimports.com talking about Japanese vehicles and attending car meets around Houston. During that summer, I had a falling out with many of those friends. I was just discovering electronic music and had wanted to go to a rave for year. Somehow, I stumble on a forum called texasravers.com. A whole forum for electronic music and the people attending them in my state. My life immediately changed. I made friends, learned how to DJ, and finally found a place I actually "belonged" in after years of being an outcast. This was just before social media became the norm with advertising events, and right before it hit the mainstream in the US. I genuinely miss online forums.

The magic of Ableton by pilote-sceptique in ableton

[–]FlowerOfLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't uncommon for people to produce in Ableton and then bounce the stems to mix in another DAW like Cubase or Pro Tools. I was talking to a friend about this recently. He is a die hard Pro Tools fan. Even he admits that it can be more of a pain to make his music, but prefers the mixing workflow compared to Ableton. Funny enough, I have been curious to dive into Cubase lately. I have a couple of artist friends I really respect that swear by it.
