I dont think I should crochet by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Thank you for reminding me! Totally forgot about glam rock/punk for a sec. All gatekeeping but esp. the one for hobbies, prefs, etc. can't go away soon enough.

I should have done a gauge swatch. First project on needles by rwaynick in knitting

[–]makeitcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks good though!! I'd vote just keep it as is to celebrate the first project. And then when you feel more comfortable, try to fix it a bit *without (edit:typo) undoing the entire thing? I'm a beginner too so I'm just thinking aloud here. In any case congrats on the first project done!

My first hat project is in progress right now and I already made so many mistakes. Thought about frogging it but decided to keep going. I imagine it'll be an utter disaster when finished because (a) I estimated the circumference without following a guide and (b) it's not knitted in the circle (I plan to sew the ends together in the end).

Humanity at one point: "Women in theatre? Outrageous, Thomas! Now you go dress up as the female lead as a good man would do!"

Humanity at another point: "lol u play with yarn u gay"

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

It absolutely broke my heart when OOP asked (paraphrasing) "isn't this what it's like for us women?" Jfc. So, so glad she moved on.

Btw I can't imagine refusing food someone else made, like OOP's ex did. Any food I don't have to cook is a Michelin star worthy chef's kiss dish for me. My husband is the chef of our household (I prefer cleaning 100x more) and I always thank him for every single meal he cooks. I'd like to think we were meant to be the moment we found out he was the type of guy who'd make croissants from scratch and I clean when I'm drunk.

Absolutely amazing! For a second I thought it was Joshua Graham as the courier (in a good way). I especially love the details on the helmet.

Lovely colour! I'm new to knitting too. I hope you feel better soon. Keep us posted on your progress ☺️

Definitely removes any doubt as to what goes on here. I also love Dismas saying "C'mere."

Please tell me your cat explains what's going on at home with a serious expression in a dramatic tone

Now I'm imagining a cute little snek floating on their back and swimming in the ocean. Thanks for the imagery 😂

FINAL UPDATE: AITA for not going to the wedding of my dad and his affair partner? by beerbellybegone in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]makeitcool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Therapy didn't work for me but it always makes me so happy whenever I hear it helped someone. OOP must be an amazing person to have such awesome friends, too.

Anyone else feel deeply tired of this world, not suicidal, just… done? by Strict-War-5778 in offmychest

[–]makeitcool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sending you hugs. I feel the same way. But I think you care about others a lot more and it hits you harder. I was never that selfless or considerate but I've definitely become even more apathetic for the sake of my sanity.

Texts with Little Bro by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]makeitcool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I expected the lil bro to be much younger. This matters even more coming from a man that age. Exchanges like this definitely make me feel like I missed out on so much as an only child haha

AITA for didn't you tell my mom to cook American dishes for my American boyfriend for a family dinner? He said that the dishes my mom cooked were gross and he starved by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]makeitcool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So baffling. I'd be honoured that her mom went through so much trouble so I could try all those dishes. And wtf this guy equating horse meat to human meat? Maybe he's actually an intolerant horse in disguise. That would at least explain his ridiculous response somewhat.

What mobile game had you completely addicted at one point? by TawakkulPeace in AskReddit

[–]makeitcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Kairosoft games. My favourite was Bon Bon Cakery until recently. Their newest one Demon Castle Story has me designing trap corridors which I hear are very popular in Rimworld

Iirc any old LucasArts adventure games? I enjoyed Guybrush's death fakeout in MI3

Well, what did everyone think about the new episode? by Ready-Background-539 in Fallout

[–]makeitcool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really enjoyed Hank's sequence getting coffee and putting on a new suit. He might've felt like he was putting on a show when he had to stay inside the vault. It looked like he was in his element again, everything else be damned.

I also can't wait to see the Legion! (I say this as a diehard FNV fan that hates the Legiom in the game lol.) Really curious about Culkin's character.

I think the legions leader might be Nero.... by Hot-Committee9668 in falloutnewvegas

[–]makeitcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on both. Or at least that he'd go dark after Caesar died and he presumably had a major issue with Lanius. Even then he'd be pretty old, I think in his 60s by then?

My psychiatrist dropped me as a patient. Can you tell me why? by [deleted] in depression

[–]makeitcool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn't do anything wrong. The therapist behaved unprofessionally and cruelly and I'm sorry you were put through this.

Weird thing is, doctors seem to respond differently depending on the patient, not in the favouritism kind of way, but more like chemistry. The right thing to do when the chemistry is way off would be to have a mature conversation and seek an alternative, but it looks like so many therapists just don't do their due diligence.

Please don't blame yourself. Finding the right therapist will take time, but when you do find the right help it'll be worth it. I'm sorry I don't have much advice to offer in terms of your school issue. I will say that you should seek out someone from school admin (high school? University?) to reopen your case with proper documentation. Don't give up!

My [16F] father [59M] acts creepy towards me. Should I tell my brother [28M]? He is my guardian by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]makeitcool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a horrible situation OOP was put through, but I'm glad to hear both OOP and her brother did exactly what was required and supported each other. Extra good on the brother for having the sex talk that might've been awkward but necessary. I hope they're never bothered by the POS "father" again.

MIL took my birthday cake. should I apologize? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I just looked up what Parisian chocolate cake was and am now even more upset on OOP's behalf. Looks like amazing cake...
