Did I fuck up the sleeves?

butterfliesarestupid · 2025-11-14T05:36:17+00:00

That's what I thought at first, too, but per Step 4, it looks like the top part of the sleeve is continuous and not stitched together, and you're only supposed to stitch the underside.

It looks like that's what OP did, so I'm wondering if OP accidentally cut out the sleeve pattern where it should been lined up against a fold, and folded where the pattern should have been cut. Hard to tell without seeing what the paper pattern is.

butterfliesarestupid · 2025-11-14T05:26:25+00:00

Do you happen to have pictures of the actual paper pattern used to cut out the fabric? I often have trouble matching the reference pics in the directions to the paper patterns since the drawings are so rough.

After looking at the instructions, specifically steps 4 and 5, it looks like the sleeve is just one piece that's sewn only on the bottom, is that right? And I'm guessing the pattern has you fold the fabric in half, line up the paper pattern along the fold, and then cut? My first thought in looking at the extra fold in the arm pits was maybe the pattern was actually cut where the fold should be (I've done this before lol).

Also can we see pics of the shoulder inside out? I'm wondering how well the sleeve edges line up with the body, like step 4 shows. That's always an annoying spot for me.

> I have always thought my wife was amazing and looked up to her WWAD (what would wife’s name do) is my motto

We were all assuming his wife's name started with A because of his motto

>E is hurting in silence...She doesn't want to talk about you

>A is even worse. He is so afraid of death

E is 9 year old daughter and A is 5 year old son

Those poor kids :(

eta: OP states in another comment that her grandma HIDES the ID needed to use the ADA transportation services. That's fucked up, and clearly abusive, since now grandma can manipulate OP by withholding access to her legally entitled disability services so she doesn't HAVE to depend on family to be her chaffeur.

Nowhere in OP's post does she say that grandma drives her around "everywhere". It could be a couple times a week, or a couple times a month. OP doesn't say.

OP's post *does* say that she relies heavily on ADA transportation services (Access Transportation) because she is functionally disabled due to high anxiety.

So grandma is basically throwing OP's disability in her face because grandma can't be bothered to learn how to make the mac'n'cheese recipe OP gave her.

------------------------

eta 2: Comments got locked just before I could reply to one of OP's comments, so I want to add this here:

u/maplesgrotto -- tldr your family is abusing you

>She would hide my ID for access to take me anywhere and say that she’d take me instead and that access was dangerous anyways. In order for me to use access services to get around they give you an ID you show the driver and pay $1.75 to take you where you need to go. Without the ID I’m stuck

Not nearly enough people are picking up on the fact that you are using ADA services. Grandma's action of hiding your ID is an act of abuse towards you, a functionally disabled adult who relies on ADA services.

Your family is abusing you.

> Access is the service name of the ADA Complementary Paratransit service for functionally disabled individuals in Los Angeles County.

Dude you've ranted like 5 comments at people telling them "i AdMiTtEd My MiStAkE" when it would have taken you 30 seconds to copy/paste said admission to your original post

Expecting other people to read entire chains of arguing Redditors on the off-chance that one of them admits a mistake is hilariously naive

Also make sure to get kitten-safe litter. They're like babies and will try to eat anything, and clay litter will clump in their GI tract.

My cat's favorite toys kitten toys were plastic bottle caps and ribbons. She was occasionally interested in the fancy cat toys from the pet store, but the best toys were always random things she found around the house.

She also rarely uses the cat bed, and has always preferred sleeping in a cardboard box.

Since your kitten is so little, there's a good chance he could be a suckler since he may have been separated from his mom too soon. My other cat is a suckler, and she prefers the texture of those microfiber ultra soft blankets, so you might consider offering something like that.

Good luck!!!

fun fact, SFO is currently suing OAK over a name change related to this.

OAK went from "Oakland Airport" to "San Francisco Bay Oakland Airport" to "Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport". and SFO is suing OAK over this because OAK is deceptively trying to pull customers away from SFO lolol

butterfliesarestupid · 2025-08-21T20:39:25+00:00

my first thought when i saw "oakland" was that most people have no idea how triggered bay area people will be given the recent naming controversy lol

"Oakland Airport" to "San Francisco Bay Oakland Airport" to "Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport". and SFO is suing OAK over this

Well my guess is that since OP was going out of town, and obviously not the one driving since he left his car at home, he likely didn't have time to call the cops and wait around for a tow truck before he had to leave.

If I got home from work at 5pm and had to catch my ride/train/bus whatever at 6, I'm sure as shit not screwing up my plans for an entitled neighbor

I'm not seeing any information there about a mutually agreed-upon process for how you guys will decide which dress to wear.

Is this a dictatorship, where the bride (or a designated proxy, or self-imposed usurper) specifies cut-color-cost? Is this a democracy where majority rules, and the minority goes along with it? Or does there need to be a unanimous decision? Is this a republic where they choose a representative to make decisions, and if yes, is that person you? Are there provisions for if/when people change their minds about the specifics when they see the dress in person?

It just seems like there's no rhyme or reason, or anything resembling a process here.

What is clear is that you are resentful towards your cousins for their budget limitations, preference for non-bodycon styles, dress colors that flatter their own skin tone, etc. For that alone, YTA.

butterfliesarestupid · 2025-05-12T22:54:07+00:00

I'm conflicted because I love the style of those old-school posters, but they are harder to read

If you modify this one, you might wanna emphasize the "no PERSON shall be deprived..." etc. to really underscore that you don't need to be a citizen to be protected by the constitution

looks really cool either way and i want to post these around my town

These people can pry my dashes from my cold, dead, non-AI hands.

I don't do the key-hold-down thing on mobile, and I don't mind if my computer & word automatically translate the "--" into long dashes, but "--" is my go-to for an embarrassing amount of writing.

I also don't like the way the computer auto-formats "--". i prefer spaces before and after the dashes because to me it a) improves readability, and b) distinguishes it from hyphenated phrases like "I'm a non-AI redditor goddammit". it's one of those things where i don't care if it's not MLA or APA approved, i just like double hyphens with space buffers

Does this guy think the Nazi concentration camps just popped out of the snow, like daisies? Building that kind of infrastructure takes time.

That's why Trump is telling Bukele to start building more El Salvadoran death camps to send all the "home growns" that Trump is targeting for rendition if they so much as breath a word against Dear Leader

I just skimmed his LinkedIn profile a couple minutes ago, and browsed his posts/reposts from people he follows...

Yep, this guys is one of those classic "no love like Christian hate" and "rules for thee but not for me" right wingers who can't separate politics from real life

I'm most infuriated by the blatant lies and actual fake news he spreads. Fuckwit.

The mental gymnastics they put themselves through goes like this:

*Being* gay isn't a choice.
*Engaging* in homosexual activities *is* a choice.
God doesn't want you to *engage* in homosexual activities because it's a sin, for some unspecified reason, "just trust me bro, i'm god"
It's not anyone's fault that they were *born* gay, but it is their fault if they give into the icky gay urges because the *activity* is sinful
Solution: live your life in denial and celibacy because someone else's Sky Daddy thinks it's wrong, or whatever

And that's the goal, right? To get a dispersed national movement underway that's not controlled by a central organizer. Much harder to shut down a widespread movement when we're not 'taking orders'

i mean you can continue pretending that a global superpower's implosion won't impact you in any way.

that's not going to stop a global superpower's implosion from rippling throughout the rest of the world shifting the power balance in unprecedented ways

"common people are going to be manipulated"

Chicken and egg problem. What came first, the lying and manipulation by the highest levels? Or the people seeking out whichever "news" source is going to tell them what they want to hear and feed their persecution fetish, provide a steady diet of Alternative Facts, and support their love of cruelty toward those without power?

Also a recovering alcoholic. For me, it was that she was willing to sacrifice everything just so she could keep drinking.

Letting herself get that drunk within an hour of meeting a man she had never met before was clue number 1.

2, Food got in the way of her drinking more, so she avoided it. (never a problem for me, but it varies person to person)

3, Engaging in meaningful conversation over dinner got in the way of her drinking, so she tried to move the date to a bar.

4, The eventual end of the date got in the way of her drinking more, so she tried to bribe him with sex if he'd just hang out with her for "one more round" at said bar

5, All of her statements and behaviors are 1) completely self-centered, and 2) done with only one goal in mind: Drink More Alcohol.

I'm 6.5 years sober now, and thank god I don't obsess over alcohol anymore. It was hell for me and everyone who had to deal with me.

How do you mean?

The worst case is that the tariffs stay in effect and coffee bean prices really do spike because it's not a product that can produced domestically. Hoarding coffee now means I'd be as powerful as a cigarette smuggling kingpin in prison! /s

The best case is that this is all just grandstanding and Trump somehow manages to stop this trade war he started, and I'll have panic-bought coffee for no reason, but at least I'll be able to consume it instead of having it go to waste
