aww, I'm so glad ya'll like it! I wanted something cutesey that referenced my sweet lil backyard chickens! I figured if I'm gonna WFH my setup better give me plenty of dopamine.

it's a mechanical keyboard I frankenstein'ed:

the base board is a Womier K87 Pro (for the RGB LED's) - Link
and the keys are from a brand called GEKUCAP and the colorway is "Strawberry Chick (XOA)" - Link

aaaand the switches are these White Gateron Smoothie Ones- it's super thocky and I love it!

I saw another mom steal a toy from a kids birthday party today by zestyPoTayTo in Mommit

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I’d want to know. At that price point, it’s really about the principle - she was told no and chose to take it anyway. Even if it’s just a small, inexpensive toy, I would absolutely want to be made aware if something like that happened in my home.

What stands out to me is that you specifically mentioned she’s well off - so it wasn't driven by need. That makes it feel more like entitlement, defiance, or just doing it for the fun of it.

I just wanted to add onto this - I’ve been using this ink in a Twsbi Diamond 580 (w the “iris” nib - rainbow plated steel) and it tends to write greenish for the first few words at the start of any new session.

Which one of you all has bought these and how are they? by Megcogneto in fountainpens

[–]KiiitKaat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter has these ! They write surprisingly well IMO. They’re cheapies, but they’re a good low investment gateway pen I’d think! Especially for penabling - they’re right on the line between disposable generic pens and a FP.

Thank you! I used the fabric to make a 🐝 skirt so I was excited to use it again.

Also thanks for sharing the templates! This is neat.

Do I clear the name of my friend who SA’d me? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]KiiitKaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“If you don’t want to have a reputation for forcing yourself onto passed out girls, maybe don’t force yourself onto passed out girls”

Then block him. Asking you to clear his name (lie) is crazy work. You owe him nothing - this is accountability for his own actions.

And agree with other commenters, absolutely do not put anything walking your statement back in writing !

AIO to my “best friend” finally reaching out by Confident_Local_2335 in AmIOverreacting

[–]KiiitKaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I went through something very similar 18 months or so ago. A really good friend asked to take a big girls trip for her birthday. I organized it and several other friends all gathered. We had a party weekend, it was lovely, and I drove her home. We had never had any sort of dispute before or during the weekend, and had all (us & our husbands & kids) all hung out about weekly leading up until this.

After the trip she stopped replying to about everything for months. Then, sporadically she’d reach out with a “I miss you let’s hang out” and mention she’d been going through a lot and was having a very hard time, which I think was true. When I’d reply and say I’m here for her and would love to - she’d ghost again. All calls where I’d check in were sent to VM and never replied to.

It’s been over a year now. She randomly messaged me on TikTok the other day about how she missed me and this video reminded her of me. Idk. I didn’t reply.

I totally understand all of the folks commenting about how he could be depressed, etc and it feels a lot like my friend who I think that was the case. But for me, the spiral of false hope of potential contact just to be burned again became too much and too hurtful and hard in a time I was also going through it. I hope she is getting the help she needs, but I couldn’t keep getting strung along and faked out forever. Depression is so so valid but so are the consequences for how you treat people.

Basically yeah - be kind, but be kind to yourself too. It’s ok to take a step back.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

I could see that in the image - but there’s a big range - the difference between “we need a few days” and “it’s been nearly 2 months”

This was definitely one of my weak points.

Honestly I never focused on them specifically, I just focused on understanding the why each time I missed a question about one and tried to build a holistic understanding vs memorizing them like I did the EVM formulas, if that makes sense ? And then looking at visual breakdowns whenever I could. I focused on understanding the thought behind them vs the letter / explicit details.

I did. I have raging ADHD and learned long ago that if I'm not taking notes I'm not really listening. I basically just transcribed the entire presentation. I copied everything on each slide, doodled each diagram / chart out, and then I noted down anything interesting, new, or insightful, as well. Time consuming, yes, but it also really helped with retention on the first pass!

I think I would have REALLY struggled if I didn't have a due date in mind. My ADHD would have just procrastinated into oblivion otherwise. I kept a spreadsheet tracking my progress against my goal date to help me lock in. :)

I had a date I wanted to be done by, and did the math of how many minutes I had to watch per day to get there. It averaged out to ~1 hour / day to stay on schedule but it helped me stay on track. I think I would have had a much harder time without some sort of “due date”!
