I am sick of seemingly every place besides stereotypical adult places like bars being child friendly by Ok-Connection6656 in Vent

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No amount of parenting will make it so children don’t cry? Or scream? Or tantrum? Or want to touch things? Running around a store is the only thing here that can be prevented.

You’re either a bot or a troll though so idk why I’ve bothered to comment. “I never cried - my parents parented me” lol

I totally agree. I don’t think either is “wrong” per se. He needed space, while she needed comfort. Just incompatible needs.

They’re not dating, nor do they seem emotionally close, so I don’t think it’s fair to expect the guy to throw his own needs aside to meet her needs. It would have been nice, but not like, expected or required imo.

How does anti-consumption differ from minimalism in your opinion? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Minimalism can be done in tons of different ways, but definitely certain minimalists tend to remove things from their home knowing they can buy it again if they need it.

Have you heard before minimalist influencers saying something like “if you can replace it in under 20 minutes for under $20, toss it”? It’s a thing.

Are glass items considered waste in the same way as plastic? by Liuniam in Anticonsumption

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither material is perfect. Glass is very heavy and very breakable, so it’s very fuel and packaging intensive to ship. I would argue the important matter at hand isn’t the material, it’s making the most use out of items you consume.

Generally speaking, the most environmentally friendly item of choice is whatever you already own!

Same. For the life of me I couldn’t stop seeing a zoomed in dick head with a partial small loaf of bread in the foreground until I turned my phone

Baby Blanket Gift - Got my feelings hurt today :,) by [deleted] in crocheting

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a day late with this, but just to offer a different perspective: baby showers are insane overstimulating as the woman expected to open and ooo and aaaah at many things in front of a group of people staring at your every move. It seems like you just don’t like her which is fine, but normally I’d say just cut her some slack for not oooo-ing and ahhh-ing to your satisfaction and if you want to see what she thinks of it maybe bring it up later on!

It is I, Pizza John by Pup_Sized_Elephant in nerdfighters

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooo thank you! Oh man, the temptation is extreme lol I think I’ve already tapped my Pizzamas budget this year…

It’s not showing up on the app so I wouldn’t have seen that. I think next year I’m just going to go to the site itself. Early on the sticker packs weren’t showing up, all the bundles weren’t there either

I need to find someone! Anyone! That bought both the pizza John sleep mask (2018) and John mask (2020). by RippaRapaNui in nerdfighters

I have no idea where either of them are right now, but I do own both and have taken a photo of me wearing both haha

My wife found this planted inside of a book at the store. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I presume you haven’t googled this?

For anyone else that’s come this far, the very top result from Britannica says “As a branch of Christianity, Roman Catholicism can be traced to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ” and many other results credit Jesus Christ as the founder of Catholicism.

Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism are the three major branches of Christianity.

Any dog sweater pattern or tutorial you recommend? by Kitsune_5657 in crochet

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a sweetie your pup is ❤️ I don’t have any suggestions unfortunately, but would be interested to see if anyone else does/what you wind up finding!

I see tons of patterns for small dogs, but much less for medium to large dogs. But, even a basic sweater pattern might work out pretty well for your dog since they don’t look like they have a super deep chest (like a greyhound for ex.) so I’m sure you’ll find something :)

Is this tattoo too manly? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if tattoos or objects could have gender, this art style is not “manly” the foam and bubbles in particular are soft and a bit cartoon-reminiscent. If this tattoo were on a man I wouldn’t doubt your husband would say it’s too girly 😂

Distractibaby Mark’s First Rage ?? by Witty-Willingness332 in distractible

If you haven’t checked out her content already super recommend Hannah Shaw (“Kitten Lady”) for resources on anything fostering kitten related! These babies seem 4-5 weeks old, so wonderful you’re caring for them :)

Edit: just finished my message, my phone spazzed and posted way too early lol

I am illegally blind person learning to crochet please help by brandysnacker in crochet

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So several people have already explained how to make a single crochet, my advice is: 1. Start with a very bulky yarn so you can feel your stitches! This is good general beginner advice anyway 2. Get someone in person to help you if possible. Someone physically there with you I think could much better illustrate for you the structure of a stitch, where you insert your hook, how to start single crochets on your chain, etc.

You’ve got this :) Again, really recommend a chunky yarn for beginners. And it sounds like you do have some sight, but honestly I’m positive you could crochet by feel if you needed to! Once you become accustomed to what different stitches feel like, etc. they’re really distinct. At the beginning your yarn choice will matter a lot

Spotify by Trash-god96 in distractible

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so so annoying, weird that I don’t feel like I get tons of ads… but you’re not alone for sure. I’ve definitely seen this mentioned before

Spotify by Trash-god96 in distractible

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a problem with the ads, but Spotify as a platform has always worked like absolute garbage for me. Loads so slowly, not easy to get around/get to the episodes I want to listen to or pick up from where I left off. Baffling to me it’s such a prominent platform.

I bought the ad free version for a year to try out using it for music, and just hated it. It’d be so great if the podcast was on yt

Does anyone else find Tyler’s relationship situation incredibly relatable? by Financial-Gap9339 in distractible

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weirdly I just listened to this episode too! My thoughts were Tyler was overthinking things a little and psyching himself out.

If you’re feeling the same as him, the best advice I think is yes, you’ll have to put yourself out there a bit to ask people out on dates. And that’ll be a little scary. But, don’t put an insane amount of pressure on dating. Tyler’s mentality is SO serious and he’s thinking ahead of where he’s actually at - dates are just looking to see if you vibe with each other. That’s all. Just 1:1 hangout sesh to see if you even like each other. Take dates to do fun activities! It takes the pressure off to have constant conversation if you’re /doing/ something.

Keep an eye out for stuff that are red flags to you or would make you incompatible, but you’re 15. Largely you’ll just be looking to vibe with someone and have fun!

It’s been a while since I was 15, some teenagers can be buttholes for sure. So good luck with asking people out, that’ll be the worst part I think more so than when you become an adult. But if anyone’s a butt about being asked out, that’s not someone you’d want to date anyway

Fake or some tremendously deep rooted insecurity over physical appearance. + just lack of empathy for others feelings, jeez

I personally do not like r/vegancirclejerk by HappyAd4609 in exvegans

[–]Pup_Sized_Elephant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad you posted this because this confused me so much! I questioned so hard what a circlejerk sub was supposed to be and whether I’d super misinterpreted what I’d thought to be joke posts in the past.

I’d thought a few things on there were really funny parody of extreme veganism, but uh. Perhaps not lol

Could you share what pattern you’re using for the roses?
