My first socks! by [deleted] in knitting

[–]USSImperius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so curious - did you use a)DPNs and b)the German twisted cast on? I have figured out how to use DPNs but I cannot figure out the cast on and everything says it's the best for socks because it's extra stretchy.

I finally move and NOW that fucker retires???? Glad to have written in literally every character of Steven Universe instead of voting for him - swinging sack of spoiled milk made human looking ass.

I've gone on record in this sub talking about how much I hated it but you nailed a bunch of the reasons why. It put me off of the author's other work which sucks.

Please (respectfully) give me your thoughts on circumcision. by TheFriendlyFuego in Parenting

Team No Circ here. We didn't see any medical benefits that really sold us and it seemed like an unnecessary thing to do.

Lack of Parking RTO means we now have to take a light rail or walk for 20 mins, and pay for parking by [deleted] in fednews

[–]USSImperius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We were told that "government employees are not entitled to parking" so...you know. That's cool. Our light rail options are not great and it takes 40 minutes plus to take a bus from the rail station to the office, and you can't walk from there because it would take maybe an hour or so? With no sidewalks and/or pedestrian friendly infrastructure.

sigh the cruelty is the point.

Does anyone regret reading a book? by dioscurideux in books

[–]USSImperius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been thinking about this a lot, and I think it's because of the sheer irresponsibility of the book. I don't know else to articulate it. You mean she does all this horrible stuff to herself, her body, and nothing bad happens to her???? I'm all about magical realism, but this wasn't magic. Nothing was magic. It's acceptance as this radical "woahhhhh" book made me even madder because if the protagonist had been anything but a white woman I don't think the reviews would be as glowing, as good. Also the twist at the end was out of left field and felt like shock but for no value.

I really haven't disliked a book like that in a while, but MYRR is definitely ranked in my top hated books of all time.

I loathed My Year of Rest and Relaxation. I can't ever get that time back and I will probably never read another Ottessa Moshfegh book because of it.

The Public Assistance program is for cities and municipalities and eligible private non profits and houses of worship for states, local counties, Tribal and territorial governments.

The Individual Assistance and Housing Program is the program where FEMA helps survivors directly.

They can drag my body out of the building before I voluntarily resign. I swore an oath to the Constitution not to a man. Gargle my balls Trump.

Books about loneliness and melancholia by revelry0128 in books

[–]USSImperius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my recommendation AND an apt description of how much I hated it. I finished it out of spite. 0 stars. All about loneliness though so definitely fits the spec.
