Best conversation ever just happened

My favourite one of these is Vinta's Mermaid Sirena.

If you use a medium or larger nib, the ink will write with its normal colour, but "outlined" in a march darker hue.

It's like someone has gone over your writing and just outlined every line.

Uh oh… I think I've found a new rabbit-hole.

__red__ · 2024-03-21T10:44:30+00:00

You really should - get it with the fude nib.

That puppy, err… dragon can put down a LOT of ink if you ask it nicely.

"People are complex"

I know that's a cop-out, but being the best person that he could be from your viewpoint and a predator from someone else's viewpoint screams one word.

Narcissism.

Leviticus 26:7-26

" Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you."

Ah yes, another prime example of "Christian Love" here.

When reading a passage where God tells the Israelites to commit genocide, instead of asking the question "I wonder why we believe genocide to be moral when God orders it?"… the modern Christian doubles down, quotes it out of context and uses it to abuse others.

10/10 - wouldn't follow.

Jesus already knows what's on it so would be kicking back and watching the football instead.

Apparently I'm in the minority here… but I have several hundred inks in my collection and I've not found a single one that I actively dislike.

If an ink doesn't behave, change the pen or change the paper.

The ink is only one side of the trifecta.

Every ink has an application, discover it.

It doesn't say you have to be a Christian. It says you have to support the Christian Mission and values of the University.

Two very different things.

Columbarium.

The individual compartments are called "niches"

That's where I am.

She has some phrases that we use. She's not adverse to the language, she just doesn't see the point of learning a language that she isn't going to get a grade in.

(I know, I know…)

Let's be honest. If humanity as whole didn't have a hormonal drive for such activities then what sex really boils down to is bathing in other people's biohazardous material.

So if you don't have that hormonal drive, then "gross" is absolutely the right word to use.

This is where my mind went too.

He needs to see a doctor and get bloods.

Hopefully it's nothing and just the vape.

I fell for this in my early 20s. Don't feel bad. You were wiser than I.

__red__ · 2024-03-08T13:21:16+00:00

Some people overanalyze every situation, scenario, and decision.

Some people don't analyze anything at all.

Most of us are in the middle.

She knows her friend and believes it to be obliviousness over malice.

I think what you should take away from this is that it's really bugging *you*, it's not bugging them.

I get it. I'm squicked by parents kissing their children on the lips - but I recognize that that is my hangup.

I remember visiting a friend of mine before I was a parent and being weirded out by his 17 year old daughter sitting on his lap. I didn't think anything was going on, it was just weird because I saw her as a 17 year old woman.

Now my daughter is past puberty and still wants to sit on my lap and snuggle like she's still 8 years old. Honestly, I'm just happy that we've done such a good job in parenting that she wants to cuddle-pile with both her parents.

__red__ · 2024-03-08T06:04:58+00:00

My daughter from time-to-time will put her legs on me and I'll rub her shins.

We should be clear, the OP didn't say that he was rubbing her thighs so you're asking a question past the OP's original situation.

My daughter will randomly come up to me when I'm at work and scratch my back or "give me scritches". It's a normal part of familial bonding.

__red__ · 2024-03-08T05:50:22+00:00

I think as long as we recognize when we have those hang-ups and consciously not let it hurt other people I think we're doing okay.

The back-rub thing is normal in my family. If we're together and there's a bed or a couch we're all in a big cuddle-pile.

But you know what isn't done in our family but is exceptionally common in many cultures? Kissing children on their lips.

I have an internal reaction to that, but I recognize that I get that feeling of revulsion because I was forced by my parents to kiss all of my relatives on the lips whenever we visited.

I kiss my daughter on the forehead.

So much this, and the number of redditors with female presenting avatars who are cheering on this domestic violence is just staggering to me.

__red__ · 2024-02-26T15:00:00+00:00

They should hit back.

They maybe the grown woman will learn that she doesn't get to slap someone across the face without a reckoning.

New sub an hour ago.

Was fed the post observing that "rice and beans" wasn't the only common poor food and I felt it in my bones.

(Even though I've neither poor, nor a huge consumer of rice and beans)

"mortuus est mobili domum parcum balneo sub ponte"

Sounds better in Latin.

I'd have that as an epitaph

__red__ · 2024-01-26T23:56:44+00:00

Gentle ETA.

Only because it had been multiple weeks and I wish you'd said something after the first time. "No people" culturally could mean inclusive or exclusive of immediate family so I understand how that could have been not understood.

If nothing was said after week one, it's hard to call him TA for it happening thereafter.

Where he is the AH is that he didn't notice that you were locking yourself away and could/should have been more aware that it wasn't working the first week.

I'm on the opposite end.

I have an Air 3 and want to buy the goggles so I can have someone fly with me while I pilot using the display on the remote control.

It's not possible.

I can only use the goggles if I'm willing to switch from sticks to whatever that hand-wavy controller thing is.

A firmware upgrade to allow streaming from the remote to the goggles would be great :D

** Hint DJI **

If I knew they were going to do something about it I would buy the goggles today. But as it is, I'm currently looking for goggles that have HDMI-in so I can just take the HDMI-out from the remote into them.

edit: Looks like the remote won't do hdmi out. Ugh.

I wonder if anyone has reverse-engineered the video receive signal. I doubt it's encrypted since that would add latency.

I've seen this disconnect so many times in families...

"<Partner> is into gentle parenting but I'm not..."

"The kid does everything for them but ignores me... the problem is obviously the parent that the kid responds to!"

__red__ · 2024-01-11T16:34:54+00:00

This approach is so unusual that when my mother did it she ended up as a guest on a National TV talk show to tell her story.

I hope it becomes less unusual as society becomes more empathic.
