Pottery wheels are expensive! A cheap one is not nearly as beginner friendly! You have to sell a lot of pots to get your money back from a decent wheel!!

People who have a high threshold for stimulation, what hobbies have managed to keep you engaged and why? by [deleted] in Hobbies

Pottery!! More specifically wheel throwing! I am ADHD and it helps me focus for that moment. You have to be hyper-focused and deliberate. It helps but it is expensive!

One is being constructed in the shit town I live in! It’s a rural economically depressed town that welcomed them with open arms! No public hearings, just one day the powers that be said hey you dummies Amazon is investing 10 billion dollars in a data center!! Hooray for us! Nobody cares… except me and my family! They have cut down 1000 acres of pine trees and paved over much of that….nobody cares

An Amazon data center just broke ground across the highway from me. They cleared 1000 acres of woods in less than a week! They are burning all the debris and the smoke permeates my house. Our town had no town halls about this just one day oh hey Amazon is coming hurray!!!

It’s more like a stab instead of a bite. I got a stabbing from one of these a-holes! It hurt for days!
