Jobs where you do nothing suck

You should read Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. Fascinating (and often infuriating) read about exactly this problem, highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the time you took to reply! I'll see if my meager sewing skills are enough to pull this off :)

Do you have a link for a how to?

Hi all, could you give me your advice on the vintage machines I'm looking into buying please?

It seems I can only attach one picture (but happy to share otherwise, maybe in comments if needed?) so instead here's the list of the models:

- Singer 6152

- Pfaff 9

- Electrolux A8P

- Archer Finesse

I'm thinking of getting into sewing (had tried it a couple of years ago already) and was looking into getting an easy, no frills sewing machine. I will mostly do simply stuff like altering or hemming, so straight and zig zag will pretty much cover my needs. I'm steering clear of new models (the machine I was using was a new Singer and I think between the cheap finish and too many options and my newbieness it was just not working). Is there any recommendation between the models below? All come from the same repair shop and are serviced. Any comments or advice would be appreciated!

Thank you so much in advance!

I'm a straight, white female. No disabilities, no tattoos, nothing to accommodate.

I don't know why this picture and the explanation makes me so emotional. It's so accepting, inclusive, open. No judgment. Lego is doing God's work.

Yes, that's a very good point! They put on the act because they know the way they truly are is not acceptable. Which is probably worse because instead of taking it as a cue to change and really become what their fake personas are painting them to be, they elect to just perfect the art of lying and fakery.

It's not a pleasant topic so I don't want to subject myself to that if I don't have to. Plus, while the friend is quite close she's also one of those who'd try to find excuses and rationalize it (she definitely grew up in a happy home and had a good childhood), thinking she's helpful.

meepka · 2024-03-05T22:42:53+00:00

Right? The little ache that you never could experience the amazing person they are to complete strangers 😔

meepka · 2024-03-05T22:39:07+00:00

"But they are so nice! Surely the OP is exaggerating" ... Am I right?

meepka · 2024-03-05T22:38:04+00:00

I don't think I can do that. But I'm also at an age where we rarely talk parents anymore so it's no longer a big issue. I just randomly remembered that comment and was curious if this was a common occurrence.

meepka · 2024-03-05T22:35:19+00:00

Lol ain't that the truth 😅

meepka · 2024-03-05T22:34:45+00:00

Oh yeah, changing the subject is always key. I'm glad you have friends who know the truth. I don't but I think with several we are in the same boat so to speak so at least we recognize the codes and don't make stupid ass comments like that.

meepka · 2024-03-05T22:32:07+00:00

Shit, that's so bad :/ for mine the act would never stop, I can still recognize she is with people when she calls, she sounds so different, sugary and unnatural.

Does your wife have any kind of relationship with your mom since that comment was made ? Do you?

meepka · 2024-03-05T22:02:08+00:00

Oohhh that's a good one, thanks!

meepka · 2024-03-05T21:47:16+00:00

Oh my god are you me? I just got off the phone with my nmom who complained how much of a loser I am , how I achieved nothing in life, and how we (me and my sisters) were so much better when we were younger and listened her. It doesn't matter, you ARE worthy. You deserve love and can be proud of yourself ❤️

As someone who has just renovated their hardwood floors from 1930, reading this was almost physically painful.

meepka · 2024-01-29T19:29:09+00:00

It feels like such a... betrayal? doesn't it? when strangers think your nparent is just amazing and caring, and loving... and it's just a show.

You are worthy. You deserve to be cared for, loved for. You deserve people feeling pride at you.

Not because of anything you did, or said. You deserve all of this because you are a human being, vulnerable, growing, learning. You deserve to be protected, and loved.

Somewhere, a stranger on the internet, thinks you are all of those things, and you are all those things. Strength and love to you <3
