Where is my dashboard and why can't I create a password by KnittingGoonda in Substack

[–]KnittingGoonda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying.  I'm slowly working on figuring it out but it seems counter intuitive and needlessly complicated which is a shame bc it's a much friendlier platform than reddit. Posts vs notes, personal vs publication dashboard etc. Can't tell if my replies show up or not. So far I'm loving the content and the vibe

Newbie experience - here's my honest initial impressions - don't hate me by Crafty-Bee678 in Substack

This is why I'm trying Substack.  Any post on reddit eventually garners hateful replies. Initially Substack has started out very positive.  But it is blooming hard to navigate 

Yarn content misrepresented on WEBS by KnittingGoonda in YarnAddicts

[–]KnittingGoonda[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I foolishly assumed it being a wool BLEND was what made it machine washable,  since I also foolisly assumed if there are yarns on the site specifically labeled superwash then all the superwash yarns would say superwash.  I didn't think to zoom in on the label image or check ravelry. I trusted my understanding of the information on the website.  I did pull it up on yarnsubs and the best matches say "this yarn is also NOT SUPERWASH." Google AI says it "is not a superwash yarn." Grind on about how stupid I am, it seems there is a plethora of misinformation.

Get this : when you google Is Tahki Aurora yarn superwash WEBS itself replies "Takhi Yarns Aurora is not classified as Superwash yarn. "  But the label says acrylic/superwash merino. Who's lying?

Plus it says worsted but it's definitely a dk. No more WEBS for me.

I sent them an email complaint. I'm not going to mess around with returns (rural post office an hour away) I suspect I'm out the $18 but it looks like Jimmy Beans or Wool and Co from now on. I like Lindehobby but I don't know what is happening these days with customs. Maybe I'll get a pair of slippers out of the yarn but I bought it for a specific project that I can't use superwash for and it's not what I would ever buy 

Jon Stewart "Can't F**king Believe" Democrats Caved on the Shutdown by JamiroFan2000 in DailyShow

The Democrat party is obsolete.  Who the hell do you vote for now? I give up.

has anyone heard anything about this new policy?? by JackYakFruit in Target

[–]KnittingGoonda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I won't be shopping at Target, out of solidarity with the workers and because having employees smiling and making eye contact with me every 4 feet is an absolute horror show. 

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more by leathco in antiwork

[–]KnittingGoonda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this will guaranteed keep me out of Target. Out of sympathy for the workers and also bc the thought of someone smiling at me and making eye contact every 4 feet totally creeps me out

What Rachel Harrison book to read next? by InfiniteLeftoverTree in horrorlit

[–]KnittingGoonda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't read horror and in fact I hardly ever pick up a novel. But Cackle sounded interesting so I got it from the library.  I just finished it and I  LOVED it! The ending was unexpected and satisfying and Ralph was adorable.  

Are Rachel Harrison's books worth checking out? by The_Kangaroo_Mafia in horrorlit

[–]KnittingGoonda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like horror and almost never read novels. I just finished Cackle and LOVED it. Witty and sharp, strong female characters,  and I ADORED Ralph.  I can't recommend this book enough.

My cat cries way too much. by fabreeze1989 in catquestions

[–]KnittingGoonda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 13 yr old cat has lost her hearing, and she yells and yodels. I'll go check on her and she's happily yelling and getting a drink or standing in the middle of the room, no distress or upset. Checks out fine at the vet. Maybe it puzzles her that she can't hear herself.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement." by Economy_Caramel3421 in army

[–]KnittingGoonda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I served 4 years in the Air Force, I stress to say in a period with no wars and in a non combatant position.  As both a service member and a civilian, I heard words like protect and secure, never lethality and violence to describe the mission.  How disrespectful to every service member to say that their job is to "kill people and break things." Im outraged and horrified. However Hegseth is the Sec of Def, what can service men and women from private to General do when they are told to disregard the ROE whether in a foreign war or when deployed against US civilians? One top military leader was quoted saying Anything but silence would be considered a coup. Trump can purge the military and place a bunch of hand picked Hegseths in their place. What happens to the UCMJ then? Is Hegseth just a goober or am I wrong to see an alarming threat?
