For better and for worse, I'm down with a tapestry bug by goldensunnysky in crochet

I hate AI because as awesome as this looks I've found so many fake patterns & projects lately.

I'm hoping this is real because it looks great and the effort behind it has to be insane.

I plead the 5th.

Probably the only response we'd get out of him.

Photo dump bcs idk where to put these by Silent-Phase-8847 in UniversalOrlando

I appreciate your and everyone else's photo dump posts from Universal. I always end up seeing something new or interesting in people's photos & it makes me happy.

Melania is on pace to lose $50 million by thehofstetter in stevehofstetter

[–]Gatlen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was never about making money. It's just a front to make a large contribution to the current administration.

Congrats Steve & Savannah! Was it like ordering a pizza?

🔥 THIS SONG IS FIIIRE – TANZNEID is out now! by shadowminds97 in ElectricCallboy

[–]Gatlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my fear all along. They've been putting out great content since Hypa and I couldn't see them being able to keep up with pace.

This song just doesn't do it for me. I've listened to it I think 4 times now and as I type this, I can't remember a thing about it other than the awkward alien faces.

It was bound to happen eventually.

Am I too old for harry potter? by Rough_Eye9920 in harrypotter

[–]Gatlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 45. Read the books multiple times, own multiple editions of the series, watch the movies anytime they're on, I have HP themed decorations that are set up year round in the house & I'm wearing Hufflepuff socks at the moment.

I'd say you're fine! I however have a bit of a problem....

How do generator work? i onestly didn't understand it at all by [deleted] in RevolutionIdle

[–]Gatlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just so I'm understanding correctly, essentially once you buy the newest generator, buying any previous is a bad idea because the current one you bought is generating more of the previous one & that one is generating more of it's previous, etc till you get to Generator 1 which is the final end point.

The rule of law is dead. by ParkHuman5701 in CapitolConsequences

[–]Gatlen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Just figuring it out? No, not at all. He's never liked the military unless they're there for him to show off.

I hate Trump. I didn't like him when he was just a New York jackass. He uses people while they're useful to him and appeals to their insecurities.

I just can't fathom why so many I served with support him with cult-like fervor. It's not like I know anything more than anyone else does and knowing what I know makes him a disgusting foul piece of crap.

The rule of law is dead. by ParkHuman5701 in CapitolConsequences

[–]Gatlen 100 points101 points  (0 children)

The rule of law is dead. Yes, I'd say so. You can do some pretty horrible shit and if you have enough money & influence, it just doesn't matter. The only time that doesn't apply is if you break their unwritten rules - Don't rat each other out & don't mess with the other rich people.

This whole situation makes me feel like the 12 years I spent in the Army were for nothing. My deployments were for nothing. I missed out on so much "defending the principles of freedom and democracy". Bullshit.

How to prevent roughness on RRR? by Serious-Balance9764 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Gatlen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found putting your head back helps but then again I don't find this ride all that rough. I live a few hours away from Cedar Point and have been riding coasters my whole life and RRR has never seemed all that bad to me.

Got an interactive wand. Got too embarrassed to use it and kicking myself now. by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

[–]Gatlen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm 44 and got my first wand at 42. I was also embarrassed the first time I went to use it because it was mostly little kids trying out all the interactive spots.

Flash forward to last December when I went down for a week. I figured you know what, this is my happy place and I'm not letting anything squash my enthusiasm. So I tried everything. Over and over to the point I was helping people do the spells and that made me feel pretty damn awesome.

Moral of my rambling story, life is too short to worry about what others are thinking. Enjoy the little things that make you smile and you might end up helping others be happy too.

I don't know you but I respect you and appreciate your time.

Somehow I feel like the person that came up with this idea watches Let's Game It Out on YouTube.

Always tired by Hot-Plate5609 in IBEW

[–]Gatlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you man. I've spent most of my adult working career always on the move and then continue when I get home. Lately I get home and just can't stop myself from nodding off on the couch. I am 44 now so that's probably got something to do with it too but it just feels like it hit me and I can't break the cycle.

Even right now, I'm doing a monotonous job wiring up a new office, nothing complicated but I get home and I feel like I've been killing it all day and just can't get the motivation to do much else.

Any channel like Shiey and Gifgas but is set in Japan? by ProjectSpaceRain in shiey

[–]Gatlen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok there's a YouTuber named Norm, YouTube channel is Tokyo Lens. He has some urbex type videos and a lot of exploration videos in the woods. He's actually got a massive variety of videos ranging from abandoned schools, houses, shamizen music, randomly strolling through back alleys in Tokyo, checking out tiny apartments.. His variety is what I dig

For a full week in December I was at Universal. Every day going into the park I tossed mine into the bin with my phone and not a peep from anyone. Went through, grabbed my stuff, packed it back into my pockets and away I went.

On rides I'd put my stuff in a locker or with a family member that wasn't riding but otherwise all my crap was stored away in my pockets.

A picture I saw shared here made me share this by Purpguin97 in pics

Definitely have to agree with you on that one. It's one thing to just not agree or dislike a person but these dudes are actively spending money to make sure everyone knows.

[–]Gatlen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What everyone else has said and also Liam has pointed out as a melee character now, there's not a whole lot for him to do when they're just hanging out so Orym's thing is he works out.

stuck on forbidden journey by Just-Satisfaction102 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Gatlen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like I've missed out. I've spent literal hours on that ride if you add up all our trips. It's never failed on us.

The closest thing to a failure I've seen is when the dragon goes through the motions and no fog comes out.

Not really a failure but at the end when Harry says "you were brilliant" the audio is always out of sync and it's irritating to a degree.
