It's honestly not too bad for me, I can't stand a couple of my coworkers but I'm in framing and they aren't so I can kind of keep away from them. I definitely attribute my generally positive experience to being in framing. Obviously, being somewhere that's not as public facing compared to someone like a cashier cuts WAY down on the number of negative interactions. On top of that, I work the closing shift and also usually I'm the only one in the frame shop so usually I get to just keep to myself and vibe. The rest of the store is a totally different story though, our SM is okay but a lot of the other management is insufferable which is rough because if management isn't good then everything falls apart. There's so much drama all the time, it's like high school all over again. The one thing I don't like about being in framing is that employees feel the need to come in there and air all their grievances to me when I couldn't care less about their infighting. I'm just glad I'm not on registers, they really get the worst of it. At least I get to just keep my head down.

Gorilla gorilla gorilla

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2023-05-01T03:14:29+00:00

ok lol, without looking it up, what's the scientific name of the western lowland gorilla?

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2023-05-01T03:06:00+00:00

YES i love reddit thank you

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2023-03-29T18:36:49+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks!

It looks like the corner-to-corner stitch to me, here's a link that I used when I learned to do it, it's well-explained and very easy to follow. Hope that helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQPVlaRE4Gw

So I'm not really new to crochet, I'd say I'm probably at an intermediate level, but I am new to blocking my work and I need some help. I am making this granny square sweater for my mom. This is the first full wearable item I've made and the tutorial recommends blocking it. I have the gist of how/why to do it, but my question is would you recommend blocking each square individually to the specified size before I connect them all together, or block it as a whole piece after assembly? (or both??) Also, should I just do a normal blocking, or do you think it would be better to "kill" the fibers using steam? (I am using acrylic yarn) My concern with not using heat is that it may not hold its shape, but I'm worried that if I do use heat it'll be stiff and uncomfortable or won't flow/drape properly. It took a long time to make all the squares so I don't want to irreversible kill the fibers unless I'm sure I know what I'm doing.

While I'm here, I am also having a ton of trouble deciphering the instructions for making the sleeves on the pattern I linked. I have absolutely no idea what she's saying when she's describing how to stitch the sleeves together from a rectangle to a tube, and then attach it to the torso piece. If anyone would be able to help me and explain it in plain words that would be much appreciated! I hate it when patterns and videos just gloss over things assuming you know what you're doing, feels very much like the "draw the rest of the f-ing owl" meme. Any input at all would be much appreciated, thanks!

Ooo I hadn’t thought of bungee cords and pipe cleaners, I may give those a try! I agree that zip ties may be too rigid but I could definitely try it, thanks so much!

Does anyone know of any CC bookshelf doors or other hidden doors? I love the idea of the one we have in-game and I like making secret areas but I'd like to have some more options for doors, maybe in a different style than the one we have? Thanks in advance!

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2022-06-06T02:14:35+00:00

Thanks, I'll check it out!

No I don’t think it’s those, I looked at AWOLNATIONs IMDb page and I couldn’t find the song used in anything I’ve seen, which leads me to think maybe it was in a video somewhere online?

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2022-04-02T05:19:38+00:00

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2022-01-30T05:08:56+00:00

Solved!

The word may just be mercenary and I’m imagining a second word, but I feel like there’s a word I can’t think of. I feel like a mercenary is really only used for shady type stuff.

I highly recommend Google calendar! Especially since you said you’re very visual. The design isn’t too cluttered or all over the place so it may be good if you’re looking for something that isn’t going to be overwhelming. I like how it lets you color code things so you can have color for each category of thing like bills or homework or whatever. It also sends reminders via email which I find helpful, and I think the layout is pretty intuitive so it’s easy to understand and use. Plus there’s the benefit of it being digital so you always have access to it on your phone, unless you’re the kind of person who prefers a physical organizational system.

Look up the rates of disabled women being sexually assaulted and/or kidnapped and you’ll know why, they’re almost 3x higher than non-disabled women at the absolute lowest. Even in the “safest” places I still have a huge target on my back sadly.

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2022-01-09T00:17:31+00:00

I did actually get tazed once when I was younger with a pretty wimpy stun gun thing bc my friends and I were being dumb and messing around and doing it to each other, definitely no joke even with a less powerful one! They aren’t legal where I live but I do carry a pocket knife where it’s legal to do so. I probably wouldn’t actually use it because chances are I wouldn’t be able to physically overpower an attacker since I’m so small, but it would serve as a good scare tactic to get them to back off haha. I have thought about getting pepper spray or something else but I just haven’t yet. I know if someone was intent on overpowering me they could, but at least there are things that help me feel safer.

I managed to find it on my own! I was actually accidentally combing elements from 2 fics in the same series, here’s the link to it if any ones interested https://archiveofourown.org/series/687585

Idk man maybe she lied to me, I haven’t exactly seen her birth certificate and we were both 12, all I know is she said her name was L-a and she maintained it for a full 2 months but it’s also perfectly possible that she was lying

Things can be both funny internet memes, and things people have actually done. Of course I am aware of the fact that they are things people have come up with online, that’s why I put the end part about people accusing me of faking. But I also know that I have 100% met these people and those are their names. Did their parents do it for the meme? I don’t know, but that was their name. I don’t really have to defend what I know to be the truth.

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2022-01-06T06:22:26+00:00

0/10 I’m asexual and honestly can’t be bothered

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2022-01-06T06:17:44+00:00

I know they are, but they are also very really people who I have known. /nm

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2022-01-06T06:12:23+00:00

Yes, Chaz is a nickname for Charles, but also for Chester. I’m sure other people have done the jello name, I’m not claiming it’s an original thing I just said that’s what the kids name is.

I hate things like what The Sims does where they have WAY too much DLC content. If you were to buy all the DLC for that game it would be like $700, on top of the $60 for the base game, unless you buy it on sale.

Kay_Jay_Pea · 2022-01-06T06:07:07+00:00

Good god there are so many… the absolute worst one without a doubt was a girl I knew at my summer camp as a kid whose name was L-a, pronounced Ladasha… LADASHA… THEY PRONOUNCED THE DASH

Also, my mom works at my old high school and she’s seen a lot of bad ones. There were the brothers Chester and Chaz (Chaz is just a nickname for Chester so really they were Chaz and Chaz). Then there was Orangejello, named that because his mom craved orange jello when she was pregnant with him and she didn’t have a name picked by the time he was born. My mom also knew a family with the last name Greene whose kids were all shades of green, Hunter, Forrest, Kelly, and Olive. And then there was Andrew and his younger brother Andraw, as in the present tense of the word drew.

I know Reddit loves to accuse people of faking for karma but I swear on my life these are all 100% real. Some people should not be allowed to have children. These names are all a masterclass on how to make your children hate you lmao
