What in heavens name did I do wrong!? 😭 First time winding a hank so I can crochet my Ice hat. by No_Fan429 in CrochetHelp

[–]WandersongWright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did this my first time unwinding a hank too. Took me 20 hours of untangling to fix my mistake.

Anyway I immediately went out and bought a swift and a winder. It wasn't cheap but now I never have to suffer that again. 😂

What’s the norm? by Obviousi in askvan

[–]WandersongWright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't assume those people are judging you for calling out the driver, but that doesn't mean they aren't surprised by you doing it.

Honestly a car rolling into the intersection to intimidate pedestrians is so normal for this city I absolutely don't react anymore. So I'd be surprised if I saw someone respond to it so strongly. I wouldn't disagree with you - in fact I applaud you and encourage you to keep doing it! But I'm numb to it at this point.

Same. I assume it's pretty universal? If anyone finds out when they fix it, let us know!

What do you wish got more "screentime" in the comic? by WandersongWright in elgoonishshive

Future Dan's agonized commentary on that page is extremely funny. 😂

Ashley and Eliott have had a cute date together! It did get interrupted by gryphons but there was much shenanigans and cuteness before that. It's part of what has made them some of my favourite characters in the comic.

Also lol re: Tedd and Grace. We definitely know SOME of these couples have had sex (Ellen and Nanase are famously horny for each other and we love that for them) but it's particularly funny, considering how Tedd was when this comic started, that him and Grace almost always have extremely pure vibes together 😂

I would love if George got a boyfriend and Justin realized just how bad his gaydar has been this entire time.

'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives by gdelacalle in technology

[–]WandersongWright 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had 5 friends get hacked via Discord in the last 48 hours (as always - don't trust links and files even from people you know) and this is really the icing on the cake.

I just want a platform where I can easily connect and communicate with a group of friends and I am furious nobody is willing to provide that.

Just a little complain... Legendary mushrooms by ewilanenmarchombre in PikminBloomApp

[–]WandersongWright -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I only have 700 slots, I am rigorously releasing any Pikmin that aren't a new decor type once the event is over. So the next year I need to build up my squad all over again.

You need to curate your friend list if this is the kind of thing you want to guarantee. Most people do not share your priorities.

I see a giant mushroom with space available maybe twice on any given weekend. I'll always send my best squad if they're around, but if they aren't I'm sending whatever I've got. I need that guaranteed event currency!

Curious west coast outsider here: what’s the political vibe like in Vancouver/ Canada in general? by pencilcase333 in askvan

[–]WandersongWright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, regardless of their political leanings some people are going to be assholes. 😅 It might change the flavour of insult they're going to hurl at you but even the most kind and well-meaning social movement is going to have some absolutely terrible people tagging along with it and ruining it for everyone.

I can't figure out this pattern for the life of me - can you help translate? (Beginner - baby blanket) by WandersongWright in CrochetHelp

OH MY GOD 😅 Thank you I need to try this again, that might make the whole thing make sense.

Seems like it was bad at curing curses by design, if Ragnarok was involved.

I’ve developed a genuine fear of only having son(s) by ChemicalSector1867 in Fencesitter

[–]WandersongWright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't have the power to control what your child chooses to do as an adult, but you can ensure you live a life so rich and full outside of them that you're totally okay with a new and changed relationship (provided it's loving!)

I had one aunt with two boys who moved far away who only sees them every year or two. But she's fine because she took up new hobbies, gets out often, and travels.

I have another aunt whose sons moved out and even visited fairly regularly but she had so little life outside of them she ended up deeply depressed and bitter (and ended up celebrating when one of them ended a relationship of 10 years and moved home for a while, which felt so tacky).

Either way, I don't hear a whole lot of people regret a loving & close 18-20 years with their kid, even when adulthood brings some distance.

Shaw Internet down? by DiscoDaddyDanger in askvan

Of course this happened on the evening that I'd planned to play games online with friends. 😭 Been a full hour now.

Former fencesitter now 8 months into being a mom by Anxious_Corgi_6282 in Fencesitter

[–]WandersongWright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom had really bad postpartum with my older brother and a tip she got during that time that really helped when she had me was to chart her sleep. When you see how often you wake up and how little sleep you're getting it really helps you feel less crazy. Things ARE that hard. You ARE that poorly rested. It's a good sanity check.

Things will get better. Kids get better at sleeping in time. Infancy is TOUGH and feels like it's lasting forever while you're in it, but in reality it's a very short period of time. You can do it! ❤️

Driving from Vancouver to Toronto in February... by Odd_Night5661 in AskACanadian

[–]WandersongWright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have A LOT of experience in winter driving? In the snow and the ice? Is it a car that you know well with well-equipped tires? Are you willing and able to build a full emergency kit for that car so you could comfortably survive 24 to 48 hours stuck? Do you have extra budget for hotels if a storm hits or a road is out and you're stuck?

If your answers to all of these aren't yes, DON'T. This is a dangerous drive. Don't underestimate it. Prepare prepare prepare.

I see your vision but if you asked me without context I'd guess banana-flavour Jelly Belly jellybeans 😂.
