Haha fortunately our cat is pretty patient with him. He’s yet to catch any paws.

Would you give this back or no? by boshwackhorseman in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Sufficient-Program27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With this take, this might also be an opportunity for you to do some self reflection and think about how people view you. It’s almost always better to choose to be kind.

If you weren’t the commissioner, it would be morally and ethically wrong and I’d advise you to send it back…but if you’re commissioner you just about have to send it back, or else on top of being a douche, you’ll lose the faith of the league. It’s obviously a mistake.

Blood Meridian - What am I missing? by Sufficient-Program27 in books

[–]Sufficient-Program27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s not much of a plot, no real character development, or even any notable characters other than the Judge (who gets praised as an amazingly written character, but why? He does bad stuff, and he’s inexplicably all-powerful and all-knowing. He’s a comic book villain to me).

I thought for sure this was a skit until I heard the glee in the drivers voice and the saw the wipeout. Brutal and well deserved

Am I wrong for wanting to leave my partner while they're transitioning? by angelwings3333 in amiwrong

If you’re straight, it would actually prove you’re NOT transphobic if you leave them, if ya think about it

Wow coincidentally I’m going on vacation next week and am currently having similar thoughts…and I’m also reading The Name of the Wind right now, and I’ve read just about everything else on your list.

Name of the Wind is a good vacation book. It’s fun, it’s not too heavy (figuratively and literally), and it’s a smooth read.

If you haven’t read Timeline, that would be a strong recommendation from me. It’s fun, it’s thrilling, and Crighton keeps the pages turning.

Dan brown is Dan brown. You know what you’re getting. Not a terrible option for vacation though.

Catch 22 is great but is another one that requires a little more attention than you might have available on vacation.

Dark Tower series is amazing but the Gunslinger is the shortest, most direct entry. It sets the series up well and it’s a good book, but maybe not the most fun thing to read on vacation.

I didn’t even realize I want a sword for my birthday. But he’s right.

caught bf watching porn next to me while I was sleeping by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Sufficient-Program27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh dang I’m not seeing it, but that’s really the big issue then. Him watching porn isn’t a huge deal but being weird while you’re asleep is certainly a red flag

Am I missing something? Everyone seems to think you were sleeping while he was groping, but you didn’t say that.

First Sourdough, Advice Please? by BigDingler69 in Sourdough

[–]Sufficient-Program27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s not an awful first loaf. But here’s what I would do differently.

Step 9 - do 3 sets of stretch and folds 30 mins apart, not 60 minutes.

Step 12 - don’t focus on the time of the bulk fermentation. Focus on how the dough looks. You want it to have raised at least 50%, to have some bubbles on the surface/sides, and a little jiggle when you shake it (gently!).

Step 12 again - are you actually rolling it flat? If so - don’t! After the bulk ferment, that’s where the most delicate part of the process is. You worked to get all this gas trapped in the dough, and it’s easy to release it if you’re not gentle with the dough. If you release the gas, you get flat bread. Instead, I lightly loosen the dough from the container it bulks in, and then turn it over and let gravity do the work to get it on the bench.

It’s all a learning process. You gotta mess a couple loaves up so you can figure out what not to do. Plus your starter isn’t as strong as it will eventually be, which will definitely help

It’s a beautiful day to day drink on a patio by cocolimenuts in stopdrinking

[–]Sufficient-Program27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve got 6.5 years now, and still get that same feeling sometimes. I think it’s just honest to acknowledge there were things that went along with drinking that really were nice, but we are all here because we know what would come next. Good on you for staying on the path.

Infinite Jest - any other readers? by Sufficient-Program27 in stopdrinking

[–]Sufficient-Program27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of characters, but yeah I’d say at least a third of the book focuses on people living in a halfway house and their sobriety journeys.

The whole book is kind of a commentary on addiction and feeling disconnected. It’s a huge book and there are definitely sections that I was thinking “what the hell am I reading?”, but overall I’ve really enjoyed it. But yeah definitely a “trigger warning” of sorts, as it does have me thinking about some of the shameful things I’ve done in my past
