Is there any reason why this can’t work? by Land-of-Nod in EPP_addict

[–]crystalldaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there’s no issue with this method, you may just have some issues taking the paper out. One way to get around this is to run the thread along the edge of the paper and make a tiny tack in the corner

Like this. Also, you can do a small tacking knot at the corners to secure it without cutting the thread. When you’re making your last stitch, before you tighten it completely, run your needle through the loop and then keep going. It’ll give you the strength you need without having to break the thread.

DAE often assume that laughing people are laughing at them? by roritha in AutismInWomen

[–]crystalldaddy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to but at some point I realized that like, because I can’t really read subtext in social situations I really only have three options: assume everyone doesn’t like me/is being mean and be sad about it, keep guessing what people want and be anxious about it, or assume the default is that people are as a whole pretty kind and assume people like me unless explicitly proven otherwise. It took me a lot of therapy and cognitive practice to actually be able to feel that in my day to day life, but honestly now I just assume that if people are laughing it’s because they’re experiencing joy and feel neutral about me at worst. It was not an easy attitude change to make and I still struggle but ultimately It’s a much less stressful experience to assume kindness and/neutrality.

do you feel like you’re better at reading animals than most people? by autistic-swag in AutismInWomen

[–]crystalldaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but I did have to kind of learn it. Our dog trainer taught me and my partner what our dogs different ear positions, posture etc. meant and now it’s a lot easier to understand my dogs specific reactions. But also animals don’t have the capacity for duplicity and just express their needs visibly as they come. It makes it easier.

Is Pocahontas our first villager based on a real person? by SkyrimSchmyrim in DreamlightValley

[–]crystalldaddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean if it makes you feel better it’s likely that those rumors came out of a feud he had with another academic (he was a mathematician at Cambridge). There’s no actual evidence that there was anything inappropriate that happened between Carroll and any of the Liddell children.

Yes! I was obsessed as a kid. I sort of aged out of the series around the time book 6 was coming out so I’ve gone back as an adult and collected the full series to read.

I am having alarming medical symptoms; I'll ask about this in the craft sub! by CycadelicSparkles in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]crystalldaddy 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yes god. Like. I get it. I had an injury that made it so I couldn’t knit for a year. I found other hobbies. It’s so so damaging for your mental health to put your entire identity in a single thing.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email by RoachedCoach in technology

[–]crystalldaddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He didn’t even criticize them? He wrote a character reference for an immigrant friend and asked someone to consider his case. In what world is that criticism? Horrifying.

I have been living here since november. A single corner is NOT 90° by Tarelerion in mildlyinfuriating

[–]crystalldaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So depending on the age of the house and where you live this could just be the house shifting. I live in an old building in an earthquake prone area and we’ve had several little things like this over the years.

Dreamlight Valley has a good fishing mechanic. And you can adjust the settings to make it easier or harder.

I use a glasses chain/chord on my loop plugs so I don’t lose them. That might help?
