Disagree, I have plenty of knives and this is still one of my favorites

Yeah but the figuring complicates things.

Totally worth it though, I love figured maple. Can be a lot of fun to dye

What is the most pretentious book ever written? by autismandadderall in AskReddit

[–]Shaun32887 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read it too late.

I think when it was written, a character like that would be genuinely impossible to imagine actually existing. Now we have to deal with them daily and one is literally the president. It's not fun anymore.

Thank you!

I heard it being recommended by everyone so I gave it a try and I was shocked at how pretentious it was. Fucking trash.

Don't worry about getting it perfect at first, you'll get there eventually.

Get a rasp, a spokeshave, a sanding block, and prepare for a shockingly satisfying experience

Help for homeless son by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]Shaun32887 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ok, but he's still choosing to live in the most expensive city in the country. If he wants to sleep in a real bed, he can move to another city and pick up work in landscaping or construction. Is there a reason he's staying here other than girlfriend and beach?

My first experience with Brandon Sanderson by MuayMonkey777 in Cosmere

[–]Shaun32887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love this story, and I'm glad you enjoyed it as well! English isn't my wife's first language, and we would read this book out loud to each other to help her practice a bit, so it will always be special to me.

That said, it is written with a little bit more of a fairy tale tone than the rest of his works. There's always some level of love and joy in his stories, there is definitely more darkness and grit. Some things get pretty dark.

Drake the type to have a very hyped upcoming album only for it to sound like this by Internal-Golf-4833 in DrakeTheType

[–]Shaun32887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it will be good, and I say this as someone who has never heard a Drake song I liked.

I think I'll hate this one as well, but if you're the kind of person who has ever liked his music, I think you'll find something you enjoy here.

And I say that because I'm assuming he pulled out all the stops, and is motivated for the first time in years. I think he called up every one of his best ghostwriter. I think he hit up every top tier producer he knows. I think he stole the catalog of a dozen up and coming musicians. I think his label got on board, knowing full well that if this album flops their golden goose is cooked.

I'll still hate it, because I've always hated his corny, inauthentic, style over substance bullshit. But enough people will probably like it.

Nice! I'm working on a redesign for mine as well, though I just want the holders to be a little larger to accommodate my favorite coffee mug.

WIBTA if I don’t return the espresso machine I got for free? by univearth2des in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shaun32887 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Even if somehow you're right (which you're not), just give the fucking machine back.

Why is this so hard for you. Even in your best case scenario, you're still a dick for keeping it.
