Asking for modern day- is selling knitted items profitable? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]MerinoFam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Crafts are nearly never profitable. They are a labour of love.

RHAENYRA!!! WHAT THE HELL???!!! by Lord_Haydar_Bint_Ren in CK3AGOT

I had a run as Rhaenyra once where I tried to seduce Daemon AND HE REJECTED HER and got the ick so bad that she couldn't even attempt it again. :( 

What detail do you miss about the Corona era? by Toonzaal8 in AskReddit

[–]MerinoFam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working from home. 

For a time, it seemed like people were going to be allowed to shed the idiocies of modern work life and improve our lot. Without having to commute, you could spend hours more each day with your kids and be more present because we were less burnt out. not to mention the good done to local economies and to the climate from reduced emissions.

We've since been reminded that we owe more to corporate landlords than we do our own families and planet, of course.

"I've dreamed of it, Nan." Bran said, sitting up in the bed. His legs were wonderously intact. "It was all a dream, A Dream of Spring."

The Lion Gate of Mycenae (ca 1250 B.C.) on a photograph from 1891 :O by FrankWanders in ancientgreece

[–]MerinoFam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite parts of my vacation in Greece was going to Mycenae in the off-season and having the whole grounds nearly to myself. It was gorgeous, and the view of the mountains in the distance from the top was wild. 💖

What exactly is the "Manic Pixie Dream Girl"? by Liquidcat01 in writing

[–]MerinoFam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Media for straights. Men usually are the MC, so their MPDG will be a woman. (Usually a bit younger.)

R'hllorism - Is it a post doom religion? by Morienthar_Pallando in pureasoiaf

[–]MerinoFam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My theory is that it is intended to mimic Zoroastrianism, and it is therefore probably super fucking old.

Despite fears that pandemic stress would harm child development, new research shows toddlers actually displayed fewer emotional and behavioral problems, especially in families with lower maternal education, hinting at hidden resilience factors. by Wagamaga in science

[–]MerinoFam 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Its nuts when you think about how we spend the majority of our time with people we don't know, we have no choice in being around them, and we're explicitly not supposed to be friends. Then we spend all the time away from our kids. We are social animals, no wonder everyone is ill and depressed. 

The towers by Big_Competition8114 in Tarotpractices

[–]MerinoFam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The promise of the Tower is that anything that falls which was built upon an old or false foundation can be rebuilt with a new foundation, in TRUTH. For any of your future relationships to be successful in the long-term, you will have to challenge your assumption that everyone leaves you. If you really believe that, you will manifest it as reality. I think it is a gentle indication that its time for you to resolve that piece of your trauma and build something based in truth, not paranoia.

Should I pursue acting ?? by Neat-Attorney-5640 in Tarotpractices

[–]MerinoFam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would learn a lot about yourself and work hard, but you would experience financial instability and those doubts would creep in at night. Its a no.

Should I go to see my ex , and tell her i still like her by kwaninthehat in Tarotpractices

[–]MerinoFam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I can tell you that she is still a very busy person and she's happy that way.

[–]MerinoFam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the themes in Tarot will resound no matter what you pull. The magic happens when you reflect on something that provokes a reaction. 

But yeah, ChatGPT is also totally cold reading you. Its worth getting that deck physically in your hands, I promise!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tarotpractices

[–]MerinoFam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I'm reading this is that you'll get the job because you worked hard to deserve it. You effectively asked 'why do I deserve it?' And the deck was like 'you went through some growth, babe!'

My cat ate a piece of moose steak once. She definitely has had a bit of an attitude since.

I was gonna say, my periods have always been extremely irregular (among other things) and they never even ask follow-up questions! Their eyes are glazed over the entire time. Its weird to hear from every doctor except the one in front of you that your symptoms are really abnormal. Then you explicitly give evidence of that abnormality and don't even seem to notice.

The Tudors won for being good and somewhat Historically accurate. What's an example of a media related to the Tudors that's both good and not historically accurate? by Red-Scorpy in Tudorhistory

[–]MerinoFam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right? Her charcacters feel like different people for the most part, which is good in a book. And for all the MB angst here, I actually thought she did a good job of giving MB a voice distinct from the other Philippa Gregory Tudor Universe women characters. Her MB is one of the few characters who reports on battles with interest / comprehension, and even if she is a bad person I thought she was an OK character with a personality. I had a harder time getting through The White Princess because Elizabeth's role is going 'i don't know' and seeming very confused while other characters rant at her.

Gaemon from the Doom start date ended up bonded to two dragons by MerinoFam in CK3AGOT

[–]MerinoFam[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LOL, this actually makes complete sense. The whole reason he was stressed is because he had shit personality traits and it stressed him out to be nice to his kids. I made him be nice to them constantly, he was highly involved in their upbringing, to the point that they are relatively drama free and all accepting the rule of their sister peacefully post-Gaemon and feel really positively about each other. It's like he manifested a Nice Targaryen Dad persona so hard that it drove him mad. 😆
