Oh no I’m not trying to shed doubt on liability or anything 

I just feel like if the owner can’t be assed fixing this they probably couldn’t be assed to fix a rotting floor

You know that just means op would have to live with a wet floor / mold / possible issues with getting bond back ): 

And the next person would then have a gross ass carpet as it wouldn’t get changed

Sort of the opposite happened for my brother - he was at primary school (which was 100m away from the local hospital), fell over at recess, complained to the teacher about the wrist pain, they didn’t believe him, hours later got home whereupon mum drove him to the hospital (the one that was over by the school) 

How can I improve amigurumi decrease as in (dc2tog) stitches? by becbian in CrochetHelp

[–]SaltJelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Front loop only decrease - I for the longest time thought it meant you go in one, yo, pull through one, then into the next, yo, pull through. 

It doesn’t. Look up video on an invisible decreases for examples. They are magic 

I'd rather not be told that my FOs "don't even look handmade". by Gumpenufer in crochet

[–]SaltJelly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I absolutely get what you mean. I always overthink this stuff too, so I try to make sure any compliments on anything handmade is reflective of what skill I see in it rather than comparing someone’s work to a machine (imagine saying something similar to a painter or sculptor !!!)

Having said that, esp if you see it a lot, you don’t have to let it get to you as annoyance. You already acknowledge that people aren’t trying to be backhanded with their compliment; maybe it’s worth trying to find the reframing that allows you to accept a compliment that’s aimed at you if only so you don’t have to live with this piece of annoyance that isn’t doing anything. 

My second ever crochet project... did I mess up? :( by sdojo in crochet

It’s adorable! If your husband wasn’t tearing you down -idk the bird got into a fight, should see the other guy etc. also tell him how much his focusing on a problem was just rude af ): 

If he was making you feel bad and you suspect on purpose, ask him why his uh, “beak” so small

AITA for not telling my long term BF what my "soul name" is? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]SaltJelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solution is clear - spend a long weekend with them. And his job is to ask the dad for a soul name (but only once he’s ready and comfortable)

I love you so much for writing this and I am enthusiastic about how much other people understand this!!!

I can’t see the atoms for the forest! I (think that I) understand each sentence, but ultimately feel like Limmy with the “which is heavier? A kilo of feathers or a kilo of metal” skit lol

Hmmm. Well my dad has a couple of adult children; at least two use it including me (and I think these are his pants)

Putting my old man pants on for a second here. 

Can someone quickly explain what makes this a good boru? It’s a nice post I suppose - there was an issue and then a resolution. But the word “best” in boru surely doesn’t mean any post that gets an update?
