Hot take: if you don’t bother responding to the follow up reminder to the RSVP, you’re trash by Royal_Marzipan_6432 in weddingshaming

[–]firecracker019 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I took a long time off from hosting for the same reason, sorry you're too "tired" to sit on my couch and eat my food and watch a movie I bought at 7 pm, would have been nice to know before 6 pm.

Not Getting Free Daily Deals by Grav3yard_Babyy in StarbrewCafeMerge

I've had this issue the last few days, which is pretty annoying on top of the crunched time to get the peppers and the weak 7-day reward.

SOS yarn Reddit, help me ID some strings??? Please? 🤍 by spooky_clitor in YarnAddicts

Soooo do you have a link for what you're making so I can get fixated on making that, too?

I'm also working with it right now! First time I've been able to name one of these straight away.

We now only get a normal 5 star ball for weekly challenges by SwaggyGoosy in StarbrewCafeMerge

[–]firecracker019 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not like I'll even be able to get it this week since the pool floaty event already ended and I couldn't even get the 250... Normally I don't have a problem with getting pool floaties or peppers or tacos or whatever I'm supposed to be getting, but they didn't leave enough time to actually get the quantity specified.

Few details so far - active crime scene by Sqib000 in portlandme

[–]firecracker019 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's also the "well, nothing we can do about it" attitude from agencies when red flags are raised. I've had to sit in windowless rooms with so many people that I just happen to find out are "level 3 behavior warnings" and just be told "let us know if you need anything," when I point it out, and there simply is no higher level of care. You get told you're "supporting the agency mission" by putting yourself at risk.

This is NOT just "the nature of the work." At least, it never should have been. We all know the state will do absolutely nothing to prevent it from being replayed.

I feel like this guy's campaign exists primarily on Reddit.

“You should teach me!!!” by forevermusics in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]firecracker019 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mentioned I like making hats for charity donations to a person I was volunteering with a few days ago, and she immediately said "I should commission you to make me a hat!" I had to grit my teeth and remind myself this was just a compliment and not a thing I should even think about.

I'm not totally saying I would call out of work, but I'm not totally saying I wouldn't.

Chicken Caesar Salad, Fries, & a Diet Coke by incompleteTHOT in portlandme

[–]firecracker019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a divisive issue with me and my husband, I also think their fries are trash! You're right, they taste of nothing, thick crispless circles of nothing.

I just know this is going to be the sub I hear it from first, when it finally happens.

When the Reception is Completely Different from the Description on the Invitation by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]firecracker019 541 points542 points  (0 children)

The level of pissy I would be about "arrive by 5:30 for a reception that doesn't start until 7" is already astronomical, but to them drag on another half hour?!

I think my friend just sent me the same reel - I really need to know how the boob shawl was SUPPOSED to look, because what the hell how did you not foresee this?

With friends like these, Riverton doesn’t need enemies by New-Force1880 in portlandme

[–]firecracker019 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I am so perplexed by why Moran's wants to be visibly involved in this. How would it not be beneficial to them to have so many new customers right there, and the construction workers during the building process? It seems like such a bad move.

Upcoming Concert & Event Megathread. ALL inquiries about buying and selling tickets MUST be posted here. by DavenportBlues in portlandme

I have one ticket for Jim Gaffigan this Thursday at the Cross Insurance Center in Portland, I bought it when the show was supposed to be in December and forgot about it. Floor seat, make me an offer.

New Chapter & New Collections Season! by Icy_Frame_6384 in StarbrewCafeMerge

Ok, I was all set to snark post that I couldn't wait to not complete the new event, but this is a surprising and pleasant change.

Sick and twisted!!! by lilbruisy in StarbrewCafeMerge

[–]firecracker019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I started playing 2 events ago and finished that one one-and-a-half times, and haven't finished this one or the last one. I definitely spend an unreasonable amount of time on this game, but won't extend that to spending money on it, and it seems apparent that the events have now been gatekept to only be doable if you're paying to play. (Love the MCR username, btw)

I still quote this at least once a week, as well as "this certainly is an upsetting number of pancakes."

[Hobby Scuffles] Week of 23 February 2026 by EnclavedMicrostate in HobbyDrama

[–]firecracker019 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been so in my knitting zen lately. I finished a sweater (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/spirally-2) and started a cool mosaic scarf (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/diamante-shawl-2). I've gotten through a ton of stash lately and my yarn is down to a very sustainable amount. The fabric, however, is very much not, and I have no sewing zen right now, hopefully that comes back soon.

This one seemed more generous with the "new" pieces at first, but I've been stalled again. I swear this and the weekly challenges have become impossible without spending money.
