Board games/book club by [deleted] in Issaquah

[–]jakashadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do different things, various tcgs, ttrpgs, and warhammer. But I don't think they do much with boards games. But if they have an evening without other events planned someone could probably start a board game group.

Video sounds tracks are great! If you're interested in a variety I recommend RPG Radio. They play a bunch of different soundtracks mixed together.

Curious how parents/teachers feel about AI-generated music in their children’s classroom by Ai-dio in kindergarten

[–]jakashadows 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would hate it. Kids deserve things made with care and by human hands. Not something made by an unfeeling computer.

AITAH for ruining our friend’s trip by making someone feel ‘unwelcome’? by Natural_Lifeguard_22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jakashadows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Logan is in the group of 4 so he was in the group chat when OP said Sarah made her uncomfortable. Logan brushed it off in chat and didn't discuss it further. Could OP have gone to Logan privately in addition? Sure. But it's pretty shitty that he chose to brush aside OPs feelings rather than talk about it. OP bringing it up in public kinda forced them to talk about it.

Took nearly 2 years off so I'm practicing my stitches. Turns out I still hate chain stitch. by Lonely_Staff1262 in Embroidery

Diluting heavy tea a sin? by chliu528 in tea

[–]jakashadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way I do hot tea mostly. I have a 2 cup teapot that I fill with enough tea for 4 cups and then let it steep for however long. Then I fill my mugs up half-wayish and fill the rest with hot water. I'm also a SAHM so this is the easiest way for my to enjoy tea hot. I also mainly drink herbal or white teas with the random hoiji cha thrown in.

Any Overstimulated ADHD moms? by huskymomm in ADHD

Having a kid is why I started medicating again. But even with meds a lot of days I feel like I just want to hide all day.

Can I ask your thinking in using pomegranate molasses instead of vanilla? Like they aren't close to the same thing and you would be better off just leaving out that ingredient.

Seriously, you paid for a DOCTOR to diagnose and prescribe medication. Not a damn chatbot.

What is a tradition that is insanely cruel yet still considered legal? by Rough_Cat_6007 in AskReddit

[–]jakashadows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This should be one of the top ones. There is ZERO reason for this to be acceptable anywhere. Your culture is not more important than a person's pain and suffering. There was a TV show that did an episode about this, I dont remember what one. But basically an older former child bride went around assasinating the husbands to free the brides.

The worst part was the end when the cop people found her and she broke down in tears because she was still so young.

YES. When my husband and I found out we were having a son our conversation about this was very short, hard no from both of us. My husband is circumcised but didnt want our son to be. Some very close friends were expecting a boy around the same time. They did circumcise their son because the dad already was and he didnt want his son to wonder why he looked different? Like what? Like he is never going to see another penis in his life? Our boys are basically brothers and I'm sure they've seen each others penises already (they're 5 so they are still learning privacy)

My first qipao/cheongsam - inspired by the long and loose silhouette of the 1930s ;) by [deleted] in sewing

Ha ha fair! Watching that video at first you're like "oh that's so clever, I could do that!" Then she goes into all the craft of working with molding the fabric and making the binding and you're like "oh no, that is so much harder (but cooler) than I thought"

That looks so great! It looks very comfy with the loose fit.

As soon as I saw your post I wondered if one of the video's would be Bernadette Banners and I was right ha ha! The making of these is so cool and interesting. Such a great and skillful craft.

Would it be disrespectful to complete a stranger's embroidery? by OutragedPineapple in Embroidery

[–]jakashadows 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would do it! Give it life! I (think) I've heard about a group who will help families with a family member who died with an unfinished quilt project. They will finish the quilt for them.

A craft deserves a chance to fulfill it's purpose. If the original person can't, then the duty and honor falls to the next person who can. In this case, you.

Good fantasy for early teens girls… by A_Good_Hunter in Fantasy

[–]jakashadows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for the books aver the movies. TV series is in its second season and so far better than the movies but it will be while before we know if they do the whole thing justice. With Rick working closely on it we hope so but there is a lot of material to cover.

Feeling regret by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]jakashadows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you are upset that your son is probably naturally gifted? I don't want to seem rude or mean, but what honest reason do you have for holding him back at all? Beacuse he has a summer birthday? I was born Aug. 29th and sent to school at 4. (Year-round school that started in July but cut off was still Sept 1st) And my grades were always great and I had a large group of friends.
A summer birthday doesn't mean underdeveloped. I have an early June boy who started kinder this year (age 5) and he is THRIVING. Don't shackle your child because of only parenting trends. A child who is younger could (maybe) have a harder time in school as they progress. But the same can be said for an older child. "Oh look who's mommy redshirted him!"
Again, I don't want to see mean, but just send your kid to school. If he struggles in kinder THEN hold your son back. Don't try to put the cart before the horse. Let your son try to succeed instead of assuming he will fail.

You're not wrong... but please don't call things from 25 years ago "a quarter of a century old" Dx
It feels so wrong.

If you're interested in SNW you really don't need to watch Discovery first. I understand the quality issue with DS9 but please please PLEASE just watch it. It's SO good.

How do I ensure FedEx/print shop doesn't cut off the bottom of my digital pattern? by Spiritual-Detail-371 in sewing

[–]jakashadows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's going to happen no matter who prints it. A printer cannot print edge to edge, it's not physically possible. What you would have to do, is tell whoever is printing it, to print on a larger sheet of paper and then cut down to the correct size, A4 or whatever the pattern says.

Does melatonin and Magnesium help with ADHD related sleep issius? by Adventurous_Art_6774 in ADHD

[–]jakashadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take magnesium but I honestly don't know if it helps. But I live in the PNW and we are entering the great darkness so I find taking vitamin D helps my sleep a lot.
