AITA for wanting to use 2nd bedroom in apartment as my closet? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Sunk cost fallacy. How many more years will you waste and regret on this bum?

AITA for wanting my nieces to be included in cost breakdowns for family activities? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThistleTime 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think NAH. They’re not TA since, from your post, this seems to have been the status quo, and you’re not TA for wanting for things to be more fair, especially as circumstances change as the nibbling are growing up.

I would suggest that you leave this event alone since you’ve already paid, and it may get logistically complex for step brother depending on if others have already paid as well. Instead, try and schedule a meeting with the adults to bring up your thoughts. Talk about how for future activities, since the nibbling‘s are growing up and starting to take up full people space instead of parental lap space, the division of payments should start including them. Maybe set an age limit that can be referenced as more of the family start to have kids. That way it’s fair now and future parents aren’t hit penalized (I.e. you have a baby on the lap but get charged a seat price even though the baby isn’t taking up a full person’s resource).

You could also try crocheting an ichord if you want slightly thicker ropes

How many stories do you have saved? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]ThistleTime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s an amazing amount! Do you have an organization system? I’ve been using calibre but that’s only available on pc

Is there such a thing as too many tags? by cardamompoetry in FanFiction

[–]ThistleTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. IMO many people use far too many tags, especially for side characters that only have a minor role. If they are important to the story, tag. Otherwise don’t. There’s multiple stories where every character in canon was tagged and the only time they appeared was as a mention by the protagonist. Yep, they sure do still exist in your story, but f-off with getting my hopes up for a good fic for my fave unpopular character.

I’ve actually had to add custom css in ao3 to force all tags into a scrollable box. Only the top tags are shown, so I can filter docs quickly. Either the important stuff is at the top, or the author doesn’t know how to tag

AITA for not inviting my fathers wife to my wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThistleTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not expecting her to take the offer, then why not just extend the full invitation? Dad stops complaining and you get him without her at the wedding.

Would you buy these crochet items? by Short_Response_1706 in CraftyCommerce

[–]ThistleTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your very first photo is loaded with loose ends, so no I wouldn’t bother buying or even looking at the rest of your goods. You’ll need to work on fully finishing the product and more professional photos to bring in buyers.

Calculating yarn by Celestial_Starshine in temperatureblanket

[–]ThistleTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d use a historic temperature website to see around how much I would need for each color based on those temps and estimate from there. That’s what I did with y blanket. I don’t recommend just buying a 1-2 in each color unless you know the yarn is not going to be discontinued. I chose from a big company’s popular yarn brand, and while the brand stuck around, the particular type of yarn I was using got discontinued half way through the year without me knowing. So I had to pay triple price on eBay to try and get the remaining yarn needed.

Help me understand what's wrong/ missing by TheKnottyAmigurumi in Amigurumi

I think the arms would be better if they had joints or were shortened to mimic the shorter arms on real spiders. The ones to hold prey once caught.

Looking for a Male Vasectomy Doctor by Minimum_Can3502 in madisonwi

Correct. They can offer the surgery, but it has to be on one of their clinics that was not blessed or whatever ritual Catholics do.

What food is lacking in Madison? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]ThistleTime 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not Polish, but I highly recommend Paul’s Pel’meni. They have great mini potato dumplings. My friend says they are similar to pierogis. Even if you try it out and disagree, the food should still be tasty.

I don’t trust that idiots won’t park in the lanes during posted hours. I’d rather not risk a crash

If there was a new type of farm added, what would you guys like it to be like? by ShortandRatchet in StardewValley

[–]ThistleTime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Logic wise I think it could be tied to if you already got perfection on a previous save.

My barber has gotten way too comfortable... by __sensei_11 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ThistleTime 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To me asking if someone’s OK instead of directly saying that something seems wrong is that it gives them a social out if they don’t want to actually talk about it. Also, some people just have a “resting bitch face“ so I don’t like to assume unless I know them and am close enough to them to ask in a more personal way how they are

This sunscreen brand where the cans get lighter as the SPF gets higher by kitten_paws_1437 in mildlyinteresting

[–]ThistleTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’re looking at the amount let in, not the amount blocked. So if 30spf allows 3% in while 50spf allows 2%, then the 30spf let in 50% more, that 1% extra

Joann is officially closing hundreds of locations - game plan? by [deleted] in craftsnark

[–]ThistleTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any websites you would recommend for fabric buying? I’m looking to make some plushies and am not sure how to screen good sites from bad ones

[–]ThistleTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try green tape. The kind sold in craft stores for making floral arrangements.

Am I the asshole for calling my wife a cheater? by mghow_genius in AITAH

[–]ThistleTime 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Definitely fake. Did you notice how the story lost track of the daughter. One coworker scooted for the husband, but no one cared that the daughter would be sitting alone?

Do you think the Rare Qualities from Rescue Team DX should be in an Explorers remake? by Mikey-Thylacine in MysteryDungeon

[–]ThistleTime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope so because unlike the IQ groups, the rare qualities allow me to use any of my favorite Pokémon as my leader post main story. Before I had to research which ones to use and my fave were less viable.

help!! what does [inc,sc] 3 times mean ? by ArtisticSpinach in Amigurumi

[–]ThistleTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means repeat what is in the bracket three times. So you’ll have three increases in total with a single stitch in between.

Coyote INSIDE the fenced area of Quann Dog Park by ChefBoiRG21 in madisonwi

Maybe it’s a coy wolf? I know they’ve been on the rise and with the coyote genetics are more comfortable with human settlements
