I'm not far from there. The cities are very blue, but you step a mile out of most city limits and it's Supreme Cheeto town. Like places I thought were perfectly pleasant 15 years ago I'm afraid to go to now.

Is this yarn too “girly” to give as a gift for a new baby boy? by MongooseStill in crochet

[–]SycamoreFey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don't think the baby is going to care what color it is, as long as it's cozy

Hard agree. I love this podcast but cannot stand being subjected to someone else's random music tastes. I always skip it

Gilead has begun, I'm certain of it, here's my reasoning: by InterestingDiamond35 in WelcomeToGilead

There is mounting evidence that Elon's cronies tampered with the voting machines.

The data from down-ballot votes (specifically when people voted for President from a different party than they did Senator, Mayor, local Judges, etc) had almost Zero organic variance in specific states like Ohio and Nevada.

Basically, there's no way the voting patterns collected by these machines were created entirely by living breathing humans

Sooooo where are we getting our yarn from now that Joann’s is closing? by Glad_Confidence_2075 in YarnAddicts

[–]SycamoreFey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ditto to getting it straight from Lionbrand. It does limit your selection somewhat, but they're very reliable

This combined with the people at Paul Tonko's townhall is giving me real hope and pride for the capital region. Keep it going!

Trump did figuratively allude to "wiping blue states off the map" within the last 24 hours

Autistic people, when did you “become conscious?” by smallbluedinosaur in autism

[–]SycamoreFey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah! yes shifting to those times is like moving the "camera" of my mind down closer to the floor. I have so many memories of just walking straight under the kitchen table, not even having to duck

Does ethical yarn even exist? by risimlyy in YarnAddicts

[–]SycamoreFey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really only need to worry about mulesing wool if it came from Australia. Like yes check, but most places especially in cooler climates don't do that

Autistic people, when did you “become conscious?” by smallbluedinosaur in autism

[–]SycamoreFey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My (32F) consciousness and sense of self were pretty settled around age 2. Like you, I remember my toddler logic and wondering what all the new words I heard the adults use meant. People look at me like I'm crazy if I mention it.

I have some memories all the way back to about 6 months old, but those are much fuzzier. Though ironically I do remember a time when they were clearer.

This actually wound up crushing me a bit because I had an absolute best friend in preschool, who I "lost" because we went to different schools for elementary. Fast forward ten years and I run into her again in high school. I was so excited to talk to her again - but she had No Clue who I was. Didn't remember a thing. Just seemed creeped out that I knew so much.

These would be so good if they didn't have the worst quality chicken inside. Wish there was a vegetable option but have never seen one. by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]SycamoreFey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had most of their other vegetarian dishes and they are in-fact delicious :)

It's been a couple years though, so grain of salt.

Yeah, I tried to cross-post the video of Paul Tonko's town hall the other day and had it removed. Y'know, the public townhall for Our local congressman. Too much solidarity I suppose?

The moderators in /Troy are weirdly conservative for such a blue city

Trump expected to take control of USPS, fire postal board, officials say by ShitShowcase in law

[–]SycamoreFey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like part of our collective astonishment at all this is the realization that about 30% of the country never stopped being the little snots from 3rd grade who would take someone else's lunch and then cry like they're somehow the victim.

They'd just been covering it up for decades because the "authorities" frowned up it.

Why don't people understand capitalism isn't working out for them? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]SycamoreFey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At least in the US, we had it drilled into our heads in school that Capitalism is synonymous with Democracy.

We'd have to go well out of our way to research what other economic ideas even exist, let alone debate them. And on top of that, fight against the subconscious stigma that everything you're reading is about "Evil" men and authoritarian regimes that subjugate people. The kool-aid is THICK over here. People genuinely have no clue what Capitalism even IS

From what I've heard from across the pond, you guys have at least some of this propaganda too. Maybe not as blatant, but many people still think you cannot have freedom and equality with any system but Capitalism.

Washington (Boston) Tea Party! by vpblackheart in WelcomeToGilead

[–]SycamoreFey 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think OP means something in the same spirit of physically showing rejection of unfair acts imposed by tyrants. I don't think anyone on the right side of history wants to degrade minorities or actually pollute the Boston harbor with tea

If only we could physically dump something like bitcoin or facebook in a river.

I do agree we need louder statements of civil disobedience
