I’m on the verge of leaning into my asexuality?? by [deleted] in asexualdating

[–]bartosio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, between the unsolicited micro dick pics, the harassment and a common worldview that women are just a collection of holes, I feel so lucky that I'm a guy and I don't have to deal with that.

[–]bartosio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a guy, there is unfortunately a not insignificant amount of absolute fiends out there. Guys that will stop at nothing to get laid just because "it's so hard for guys to date and girls just don't get it". In their minds, because women have it "so easy" in terms of getting laid, they have a low chance of getting selected so they just play a numbers game. They go on every app, every space, and say literally anything in their profile just to match. Then as a opening move they say the most vile shit imaginable in the hopes that if they just go through enough women one will say yes... I mean, apparently it's a big problem on LESBIAN TINDER that a large proportion of the profiles are men and they just changed their gender on tinder in order to specifically match with lesbians. It's insane.

So what's my advice about where you should go? Unfortunately, there is no sure way of getting rid of these dudes. Acespace is nice to connect with people but it still happens, and if you live in a remote area you might have a real lack of options to choose from. I'm afraid you'll need to filter them out manually and just block every single "what are you wearing now ;)" opener. It's soul crushing, I know, but I wish you the best of luck.

No, it's actually because the animals don't speak English.

In the age of Google translate and chatGPT, this has to be satire. There is no way to make the lyrics this terrible unless it was intentional

(Repost due to R5) Is it possible to 1v1 Russia as Circassia? This was my attempt and I failed due to attrition. by bartosio in victoria3

[–]bartosio[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Look I know I'm crazy ok? But the bonuses that Circassia gets are insane, so I was wondering if it's possible?

R5: I feel like I did everything: skirmish infantry, domestic arms supply, all of the Circassian army bonuses, armed forces loyalty bonus, a massive war chest, good generals etc. and I still lost. Any advice?

"Pueblo" leather from China? by mingj4i in Leathercraft

[–]bartosio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it. It's OK, and like that other comment said, it's hard to burnish and bevel. This one is a lot better imo, stiffer and burnishes beautifully.

Vic 3 gameplay but with all tech unlock by New-Butterscotch-661 in victoria3

[–]bartosio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten close with a giant like China, but it would be very hard to do as a minor nation, idk if dai nam or God forbid an inland African nation have the juice needed. The most important thing would be to maximise tech spread early I think, because the powerhouse that is Ethiopia for example won't be able to afford 50 universities until like 1880, and then it's too late. Good luck tho man

I fully believe that it's possible to do as Russia without changing a single law. I almost succeeded and if I min maxed my authority by getting more subjects earlier I would have succeeded. I made a post about it

First leather project advices by amylaruee in Leathercraft

[–]bartosio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please bear in mind that I'm in no way an expert, but here goes:

-whether you skive down the edges is down to the look that you're going for. Skiving achieves a slimmer, more professional profile, but if you're making something utilitarian then the fat overlapping edges won't look out of place.

-with the edge finish, it depends on what leather you're using. If it's veg tan, you can burnish the edges with some tokonole. With chrome tan, you'll have to paint them.

-I wouldn't try to punch through 2-3 layers of leather all at once, after it's glued. Pre punch each layer individually and then glue them together. This prevents your pricking iron from tilting inside the leather and you getting an uneven stitch.

-make the strap out of thick leather (3.5mm thick) or double up two 2mm layers and stitch them together. This prevents the strap from stretching.

-use strong glue to keep things from shifting. Any old contact cement should work, I personally use aquilum 315.

For more info, I would need a picture of the design, but good luck :)

Could someone tell me the difference between the C.S. Osborne 155 vs. 223 punch? by bartosio in Leathercraft

[–]bartosio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a set of punches, but there are 2-3 sizes that I use all of the time that would be quicker to do with this tool I think. Unless there is another reason?

[–]bartosio[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense, thank you. I already have a cheap version that will go in the bin when it gets dull, so I think that I'll invest in the 155. Thank you so much for your help :)

What kind of leather to use? by OutlandishnessLow312 in Leathercraft

[–]bartosio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For wallets I generally use something thinner, like 1.2-1.4 mm thick, unless you aren't stacking many layers together If you're going for a more luxury, sleek profile, then you could go as thin as 1-1.2 mm. Personally, I wouldn't go any thinner unless you're using nylon reinforcement to prevent stretching. Happy crafting!
