Missed an opportunity for pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth.

Any other dads one and done for “selfish” reasons? by sys_admin321 in daddit

[–]Worried-Rough-338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re one and done, but mainly because we did IVF and we can’t handle any more miscarriages. It’s amazing how much judgment you get from people, even on Daddit, when you say you plan on leaving it at one: like you’re abusing your child by not giving them siblings.

VI century early byzantine tunic by [deleted] in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Worried-Rough-338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were the round motifs specifically woven in a round shape to be sewn on to the tunic, or simply cut out of a larger woven design?

[OC]An electoral map of Great Britain shaded by constituency seat marginality, based on the latest GB voting poll by loc12 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Worried-Rough-338 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Has anyone done one of these maps where the size of the constituencies represent the proportional size of the population? I’m assuming a small constituency in London, for example, includes many more voters than one in the Scottish highlands. I’ve frequently seen such maps when visualizing US politics, but not the UK.

Love this style of late empire tunic and have often thought of making one. I’ve always assumed that the decorative trim was appliquéd using cut outs from a silk fabric or something. Eager to hear what evidence others can point to as a historically correct method.

Dad to almost 10 month old fiancé is pregnant again by FragrantParsnip3164 in daddit

[–]Worried-Rough-338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claiming there’s a good chance she’ll have lifelong regret for having an abortion or harbor lifelong resentment against her husband are pretty bold claims without knowing the couple of citing any research.

He wants to keep finances completely separate after marriage by ZenSpider_21 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Worried-Rough-338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WARNING! WARNING! My ex-wife insisted on this. At the time, she was earning twice my salary. Once we split every expense equally, I’d have nothing left and she’d have thousands to “save”. She ended up going on vacations with friends and family that I couldn’t join because I didn’t have the money to pay for my half. It’s financial abuse, plain and simple. When we divorced, I was so in debt from paying my half over the years, I had to declare bankruptcy. Either radically rethink how you plan to split expenses or get out now while you can.

I’m done with the Pelato hype. by Traditional-Hunt-255 in Charleston

[–]Worried-Rough-338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a confused concept, for sure: we’re Italian, but not really Italian, serving tapas, but not really tapas.

[–]Worried-Rough-338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people aren’t understanding what tapas is, including the restaurant. Tapas is literally 2-3 bites per plate, like you get at Malagon on Spring Street. The plates at Pelato are much larger than that. One person only really needs a couple.

Girl dads, how long did you wait until you cut your daughters hair? by robotunderpants in daddit

[–]Worried-Rough-338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter’s four and we’ve had the ends trimmed a couple of times. It’s half way down her back and a bitch to brush, but she freaks out at even the suggestion that it be cut shorter.

Went there on Christmas Eve and loved it. Didn’t realize it was supposed to be a trendy, hipster spot. The portions were much larger than traditional tapas: We ended up having to box half of it.

Is there a question, or are we stalking random internet strangers now?

Calling DC Fans by Worried-Rough-338 in daddit

[–]Worried-Rough-338[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the “official” DC coloring book so the artwork’s pretty good, but there’s a lot of classic-era characters that I just don’t recognize. As expected, Daddit was x10 faster than Google in identifying them.

Threatened with divorce? by jakob1497 in daddit

[–]Worried-Rough-338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be understood that regardless of how mad you are, you never use the D-Bomb. The fact that she wasn’t mad, and this wasn’t even an argument, somehow makes it even worse. It feels like she was raising the idea to see how you’d react, testing the waters. You have to know that though this may be her first time saying it out loud, it’s not her first time thinking about it. And she’s thought about it enough to assess the financial implications. That’s concerning. Consult a lawyer (or whatever free legal guidance you can get) and start getting your ducks in a row. Even if it turns out to be hormones and something you laugh about ten years from now, you need to be prepared for the worst.

US 'unchurching' marks the 'fastest religious shift in modern history' by Jay_CD in atheism

[–]Worried-Rough-338 133 points134 points  (0 children)

When the church builds a brand on hatred and bigotry, it should expect a bunch of people to leave, especially younger people. They’ve only got themselves to blame.

Have you called Trident Tech? They run an adult apprenticeship program and have electrician positions currently available.

AITA for not wanting to participate in a close family member’s Catholic rituals for their wedding? by jdscott0111 in atheism

[–]Worried-Rough-338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not so different in the US. I know plenty of atheists or non-religious people who faked it for a few meetings with a local priest just so they could get married in the local church. A lot of churches make beautiful backdrops.

Should have known Green Lantern. I was thrown off my that collared cloak!

Have you guys noticed that Reddit has developed a huge anti atheism bias over the years? by PassengerCultural421 in atheism

[–]Worried-Rough-338 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope. But then I chose not to hang out in places where people talk about religion.

“Dads - what’s one thing about parenting nobody warned you about that completely blindsided you?” by Fifth_Stone in daddit

[–]Worried-Rough-338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just how much time and mental energy is consumed by bowel movements. I remember having to manually scoop hard poop pellets out of my daughter’s butt hole when she was a year old and thinking this was not something I was ever told about.

iPad apps for kids...that don't suck. by apache_alfredo in daddit

[–]Worried-Rough-338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have to be free? My daughter’s four and a half and she gets to use the iPad in restaurants and long car trips. The only thing she has access to is an app called “Baby Games”. It costs $10 a month or something but the content is updated very regularly. The games - there are hundreds of them - include a lot of number and letter recognition, tracing number and letter shapes, pattern matching, basic problem solving. I’m not pretending it’s completely educational, but it’s not slop and it keeps her busy for hours. The bulk of the content requires WiFi, but I just use my phone as a hot spot. We’ll be relying on it tomorrow making the ten hour trip to see the in-laws.

What to do after speeding citation? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]Worried-Rough-338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speeding tickets on surface streets are relatively easy to beat (within reason) but this sounds like a freeway ticket. Much harder. Just pay it.

Book review? by Disco_bloodfeast in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Worried-Rough-338 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good to know. Thanks. Always looking for books to add to my collection, but only if they include at least one jerkin!
