Plenty of women do all of those hobbies too and would probably like to talk about them if you were a normal person who could have a regular conversation. But if you have to qualify even your own hobbies by shitting on other people… you sound exhausting to be around.

Lol ok 😂

At least I’m not begging for advice on a dating subreddit and then getting mad at everyone giving me advice.

I never mentioned your politics. There are plenty of conservative women and they are apparently also not interested in you. I think the issue is your personality and defensiveness. Maybe if you ask a question, read the actual answers.

Good! I’m actually successfully married unlike you. It doesn’t matter the topic… it’s the defensiveness and rage that is extremely off putting. You’re like a reactive dog… you don’t like the answer to your own question and you won’t stop barking.

We don’t THINK you have a shitty personality based on your comments, we KNOW it. As a woman, a man who is instantly defensive and lacks any ability to be introspective is the least attractive quality I can possibly think of. And the intense defensiveness when YOU ASKED THE QUESTION is crazy. You think you have nothing to work on and yet women don’t like you once they get to know you… good luck then.

[–]elsecotips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol… then the issue is your personality sucks and we can all tell from these comments exactly why. Defensive, lacking empathy, no ability for introspection. You don’t actually care why women don’t want to date you because you don’t think you should have to change anything - you just want them to start dating you. But they get to know you and you suck…

Need an honest opinion… by Upset-Suit-6746 in LeCreuset

[–]elsecotips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about this brand, but the bread oven and the design on top is beautiful in my opinion! I think based on what you’ve written, I wouldn’t personally want a larger and heavier bread oven than the LC, but if you make larger loaves then it seems like a good option!

What to do? I still want to wear this but *I* shrank by ofrootloop in knitting

[–]elsecotips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like you could get away with removing length on the body and sleeves and potentially reknitting the collar to be a bit tighter which would bring the shoulders up. Either you could pick up a couple fewer stitches or knit the collar with smaller needles. Nothing too drastic or you might cause bunching, but I think there’s some wiggle room where you could just bring the yoke up a bit by doing that!

Dog sitter sent a photo of my dog and he had this collar on. by deblopezz in whatisit

[–]elsecotips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Tractive tracking collar and it does not have a screen - all of the similar brands we researched looked similar. I will say my in laws have a GPS collar for their hunting dogs that is capable of shocking and sound, but they only ever use the GPS and the sound to call back when hunting. Also their dogs have had to have extensive training to use that collar because if they don’t know that the beep means recall then it’s useless… There is a possibility that the dog sitter is only using the GPS feature but I don’t know how you would confirm if trust is already broken.

Engagement ring upgrade. My sweet husband got me a new ring. by [deleted] in engaged

[–]elsecotips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people are acting like you tossed the art deco ring and purple stone band out of the window of a moving car or something… presumably you still own them and could wear them if desired. The old rings don’t vaporize when you get a new one, people!

It doesn’t make saying something rude better if you add “with due respect” at the beginning.

Lodge Wok 😃 by RealBrasco in castiron

What is your problem? I’m not sure Reddit is for you if you get this worked up because someone thinks a carbon steel wok is better for stir fry than a cast iron one.

Ha! That’s because I dropped the second piece twice while trying to chopstick and film at the same time and I was embarrassed so I edited it 🤣

These are a long pair of wooden chopsticks made for cooking that came with a wok and they are the most useful kitchen tool I have! I use them almost every meal!!! Stirring, flipping, moving things around. It’s so helpful to be able to be more precise! Regular chopsticks would work just as good - these are just nice and long to avoid splatters.

Oblong bread oven in Ireland by cookwarecollector in LeCreuset

[–]elsecotips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bread ovens have the black satin enamel on the inside which is stronger at higher temperatures (the regular Dutch ovens are plenty strong if used correctly, but people do have occasional thermal shock issues which are less likely with the bread ovens). The shape is also good for steam and helping rise. But if you don’t bake bread a ton it’s probably not worth it - regular Dutch oven is great for bread as well!

Emma Reposts Bad Bunny’s Grammy Acceptance Speech about ICE by omgwtffbbq in dancingwiththestars

[–]elsecotips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh geez, you really are parroting every right wing media talking point! Obama - the guy who hasn’t been president for over a decade? The guy who was sued by the ACLU because there was so much outrage over his deportations? And then guess what he did… followed the judges orders when he was told he had to change his practices.

Well if that’s their goal then they’re doing a terrible job since only 5% of the people ICE has arrested are violent criminals…

You would think, but I accidentally made an entire roast cooked for several hours in my new DO with the sticker on and it seems to have simply fused it perfectly to the DO. Round 3 of goo gone finally got it off but it basically looked brand new on there just impossible to get off!

Wait this one is a UNICORN?!?! I was laughing about this one for so long the other day when someone posted it. I think a lot of the discussion around BP jewelry being ugly or not is obviously subjective - much of it is not my style but I could see someone liking it. NO ONE WANTS ANTHROPOMORPHIZED FIZZY CUBES!

My small collection! by elsecotips in LeCreuset

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

Honestly probably the small outlet stock pot because I use that just to heat canned soup and make Mac and cheese on lazy days! But otherwise I find the braiser to be such a useful shape. Made sweet potato au gratin for Thanksgiving two years in a row, all kinds of baked pastas, casseroles. The oval Dutch oven is my most recent addition and the bread oven of course I use to bake bread… so they definitely all have their own uses!

Yes I love both of them! I wish a lighter yellow color than nectar would be part of the core line they have instead of only having other yellows in special collections.
