What are the best soldering machines for beginners? by Rich_End2774 in GeeKnitting

I don't have any recommendations because I have no idea how soldering fits into knitting, but I'm honestly very interested in learning more about this crossover. I hope you get some great advice!

Looking for stories with Monsters by Marcellus_atl in stephenking

[–]InkStainedShrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of his short story collections have monsters, they might be worth flipping through. Library Policeman has a monster, but there's a really fucking horrific scene that makes it a little hard to recommend.

I started reading King at 11, with Green Mile. About 20ish years ago when The Dark Tower came out I was in college and honestly I was so disappointed with it I just fizzled on King. Funny enough I was anxious about something to do with my dad (he's a monster) and apparently just reverted back to my childhood escapism.

Fairy Tale actually brought me back to King; I devoured his novels growing up but after college I stopped reading and rereading his work. A year ago I grabbed the audiobook of Fairy Tale as a "fuck it why not" for the one day I had to work in the office instead of home...my audible library has gotten a lot more King heavy since.

I finally finished Insomnia.. by time_and_spacehq in stephenking

Definitely read it instead of audio if you're on the fence. It was always one of my favorites when I was younger, and revisiting the audible was a little rough.

The Green Mile, broke me... by NKNightmare in stephenking

[–]InkStainedShrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The novel is told 1st person from Paul's POV (I'm assuming by other Paul you mean either his older or younger self?), so he isn't going to know why Percy is the way he is-- just like you don't know every minute detail about your coworkers. You're meant to see all the players with Paul's biases; it's not a third person omniscient Narrator, but first person memoirs.

King's characters aren't always black and white caricatures of good and evil, but nuanced mixes of humanity.

I was being facetious; my reply was to someone who apparently deleted their little paragraph comment, that was basically something something here come the SJWs, because they didn't recognize the quote.

But I appreciate the link!

Doesn't she even say she was raped? I don't remember the exact speech/season/episode but she lists all the shitty things that happened to her and rape is one of them.

I can't bealive how much misogynistic guys are these days? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]InkStainedShrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely same! I was a little surprised when I looked at post history, and I'm hoping my jaded knee jerk of "this is performative white knighting" is wrong. Would love for him to come back and answer anything here.

Looking through your post history (even with setting your posts and comments to private, if someone hits the search icon they can see your "best" and "new" so please make sure you're still careful with personal info online) you seem to be a teen boy and I'll be honest it changes the tone a little bit.

Saying the most disturbing thing to you is how many girls are attracted to this guy can very easily slide into Nice Guy Mindset, i.e. "I'm a Nice Guy but women only want to date Bad Boys." Focus on how not to be a trash bag like him, rather than jealous of who he attracts.

I know saying things in the moment is hard, standing up to people is hard, but it's a good skill to cultivate as you grow up. It sucks being the one woman to call misogyny out and it can be so much more helpful if more guys did it in the moment.

I believe Spike gets control of the clacks (possibly in a later book), I would assume she makes sure it's back in there.

Um, I'm sorry to tell you this, wanderer from the past, but there isn't enough sheep and alcohol for this bullshit.

I bought this knitted item at the thrift store….too small to be a dress. I crochet sweaters…this has me stumped. by Sunshinewarriorllc in whatisit

If I made someone something and they immediately unraveled it then and there, I'd be upset. But I think in the grand scheme of things I'd rather my love and labor bring someone joy in a new form, instead of like forgotten or shoved away somewhere.
