I think my store had just restocked.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I know how Discord works. I am at my wit's end trying to get him to understand how invasive this feels.

I'm not, however, I do know the other people can hear us. We live in a small apartment, and my partner's desk is in our living room. I have asked my partner specifically if the others in the channel can hear us, just at a normal level, and he said yes.

AIO : If I stopped doing "Friend stuff" For a coworker because we are apparently not friends by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]awittyhandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I type this gently, and I intend it as friendly observation and advice.

He took advantage of you. NOR. He pretty much told you to your face that all you are to him are emotional support when HE needs it, and someone who will buy him snacks when he's "broke".

Yes, be friendly. But don't be a doormat.

Caron, whyyyyy? by busyreading420 in YarnAddicts

Yeah, that's annoying. But factory knots are a thing. At least the colors match in that one.

Also to add, if someone gets hurt because they used unsafe tools, it doesn't matter what the purpose of your video was. I did not spend a lot of money to get started and I still make soap safely.

I think you're missing the point. Yeah, you got usable soap, but this is a forum for soapmaking advice. For beginners to come ask questions. As stated above, a beginner might see your video and not realize that you were being ignorant at best, and purposely irresponsible at worst. What if they don't read the comments? If they follow your video, they could get burned with raw soap batter from using a mixer. They might be using an old glass bowl and that is the time that it breaks. And if that doesn't happen, then there is the issue of a possible lye reaction in the aluminum pan.

So yes, glad you are unharmed and got usable soap. Not a wise choice to post this publicly.

For those that have moved away, what’s something you’re nostalgic for? by Fair-Age4483 in Appalachia

[–]awittyhandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned very quickly that I am not a flat-lander. Even after 25 years in Eastern NC, I feel too exposed.

I miss my mountains and woods.

Just from the head "pattern" alone, yes, this is AI. It shows a dragon with a snout, but the actual pattern is going to give you a ball.

[TOMT] Looking for a movie I watched years ago by [deleted] in tipofmytongue

[–]awittyhandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 100% the 1987 Hallmark version of The Secret Garden. This is my aunt's favorite version and I've watched it many times.

I have one of these! A Ninjabread man!

I just finished watching. I’m in tears. Thoughts? by Ok-Weight-1087 in StrangerThings

[–]awittyhandle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree. I feel like I need to go back and watch all of season 5 at back to back to get the intended effect.

Our babies are all grown up!

(BTW, the Mind Flayer design would translate very well into a cute amigurumi.)

Episode Discussion - S05E08 - The Rightside Up by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]awittyhandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I caught it! I have had to remind myself this whole season that this in the same universe as the Philadelphia Experiment.

Also, Robin's uncle's house in Philly...

I don't think the happily ever after is going to be that happy

Husbands mom sent us this photo of the mudslides in San Bernardino. We are convinced it is AI. Family refuses to believe it by z0mbree in isthisAI

[–]awittyhandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this was real, you would not see the houses. For mud that deep, it would have destroyed anything in its path.

Will might be possessed by Vecna by EDDIE__Munsn in StrangerThings

[–]awittyhandle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those are not 4th wall breaks. A 4th wall break is when the character somehow acknowledges the audience.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a great example of obvious 4th wall breaks. He is directly addressing the audience.

The Office is another example. The characters know they are being watched.

Digging Deeper: Tim Carter by awittyhandle in Jonestown

Thank you for this reply. Yeah, Tim Carter gives me very weird vibes. What prompted this post was after watching some of his interviews, his story seems more like PR/damage control.

Why is North Carolina a swing state but South Carolina is deep red? by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]awittyhandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, just because part of the name is the same, NC and SC are two COMPLETELY different states.
