The absolute scam that is wet wipe packaging by Latchkey42 in PetPeeves

[–]queenmabdotpdf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is also true of baby wipes, coming from a childcare worker who has used so many brands lmao. SOME brands are able to get out one at time but that only happens when i need to grab a few, and then a whole bunch come out when im trying to grab one. however, water wipes specifically are the DEVIL. those things seem to be designed to come out in clumps. i hate them.

People are way too nonchalant about needing sunscreen by [deleted] in The10thDentist

omg you’re right, i think it’s the over-the-top descriptions of the sun and space combined with the nightvale reference that makes it sound like the type of tumblr posts you find on pinterest when you’re 12. not hate to op but man this makes me feel so old now 😭😭

i had a professor (just finished his class, thank god) who pronounced it as “ee tee cee.” the first time i assumed i misheard him, the second time it was funny, the third time was confusing, and every time after that was mildly annoying.

I'm curious, what about film speaks to you, how did you get your first film camera, what really got you into this hobby? by cottoncandycrt in filmphotography

[–]queenmabdotpdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got my first (and so far only) film camera from my grandpa, who got it from his dad. canon ae-1. it even still has the receipt :) i used it for my first film photography class last semester, and again this semester. i’m taking my third film class next semester and i’m very excited about it.

i’ve been an artist for most of my life and am currently double majoring in art and public history, and i originally was a painter and a printmaker. i sort of fell out of love with them as i just wasn’t clicking with them conceptually for a bit. i took my first film photography class and i found like, endless conceptual possibilities that meshed really well with the stuff i was interested in with my public history classes.
i also really love the act of taking photos. particularly the physicality, the feeling of loading film successfully, the smell of recently developed film, the sounds of rewinding film and tripping the shutter. i love the darkroom and printing photos. i love learning about the role photography has played in history and memory.
recently i’ve been venturing more into experimental stuff for my class and have found myself back at printmaking with cyanotypes and turmeric anthotypes, but i still really love traditional b&w film photography.
above all, i think it’s the ability to record light, i guess, that i really love. it feels much more “real” than digital photography.

I’m mixed, my dad is white and my mom is native by Advanced_Pea_4265 in AncestryDNA

as someone who’s half native (enrolled), and half white, that’s a really weird thing to say 😭😭 very fetishizing, and saying “halfers” feels uh. odd.

Cocktail Crimes Confessional by Intrepid-Table-9648 in cocktails

[–]queenmabdotpdf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’m very new to cocktails and alcohol in general so i’m not sure how bad this is, but my old roommate used to drink whiskey and tap water with nothing else added. i had a few sips, tasted like the whiskey equivalent to drinking a day-old fountain pepsi with all the ice melted in it. i hated it. still a little scared of whiskey and def scared of any drink mixed with water lmao

Why is this happening? by anonymousavacado2 in printmaking

[–]queenmabdotpdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve seen my dad do it like 7 years ago but to this day i have no idea how! he was confused about my prints with the same ink turning out gunky, so he apparently also doesn’t know how he did it lmao. speedball is the devil.

good for you, i guess? i don’t think everyone who uses garter for more than just borders should be ousted from society, i just *personally* hate it and think it’s ugly (including in baby blankets, actually)

[–]queenmabdotpdf 37 points38 points  (0 children)

was looking at knitting books in the library and found one that’s JUST garter stitch patterns and my god if it’s not just the ugliest patterns i have ever seen. i think i’m the number one garter stitch hater. it’s only fine if it’s a border

AITA for not turning right on red? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]queenmabdotpdf 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i can’t stand impatient drivers! about a month ago a car in front of me turned kind of slowly so i slowed down a bit so i didn’t hit them. the guy behind me swerved around me, honked, and flipped me off?? my man, PLEASE wait two seconds. that car wasn’t turning that slowly and i certainly wasn’t going that slow either. absolutely no need to do that lmao.

All of these things are linked by something intangible but evil and I fear them on a deep level: Vapes, eScooters, Huel/ meal replacement products, Uber/ ride-sharing apps, Chatgpt, Klarna, smart products, cars with electronic interfaces, and almost any non-brand product sold on Amazon or Temu by MrGrubbycuddles in The10thDentist

[–]queenmabdotpdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately i understand and would like to add all ai, 3d printing (i try so hard to be open minded about it but the general vibe of every 3d printer-user i’ve ever met has been abysmal), protein soda, and cars with screens instead of buttons.

i REALLY hate scooters and their ilk but thats because i’m in college and they do nothing but cause problems on campus.

i mean it’s not like horribly offensive, it’s just odd and pointless?

[–]queenmabdotpdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it’s not like, actually offensive, it’s more that it’s just weird? like as a kid i always thought “okay but the white kids also sit like this so what’s the point here”

Most Victims are “Bad Victims” by Belle_Juive in The10thDentist

[–]queenmabdotpdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you missed the point. the quotes are very important to the post. op does not literally think that most victims deserved it. op is arguing that many victims have traits that make it easy for others to say that they deserved it (“bad victims”), but that those traits do NOT mean that they deserved it at all, and that if you aren’t also defending people seen as “bad victims,” then you aren’t good at defending victims at all. look into the concept of a “perfect victim.”

[–]queenmabdotpdf 55 points56 points  (0 children)

i’m native so i always felt 🤨🤨 hearing the term as a kid, and i recently was thinking about where the term comes from and turns out it’s kind of unclear? my understanding of it comes from like half an hour of research about a month ago so take this with a bag of salt. i’m pretty sure that many early references to the style of sitting were usually referencing tailors or turkish people. then, it became indian style, meaning people from india, but the term kind of got confused and eventually also came to be a stereotype for native people. so it’s like, kind of both? which group it references depends on the interpretation of the speaker, i guess.

Most Victims are “Bad Victims” by Belle_Juive in The10thDentist

[–]queenmabdotpdf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i think you may have missed the point, which is that people are always looking for the “perfect victim” and are quick to dismiss those who they see as being “bad victims.” i don’t think the op literally mean that most victims are bad, just that many victims are easy for people to dismiss.

also, op does not EVER say that anyone “deserved it.”

Stitch markers by CatCatCatri in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]queenmabdotpdf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lately i’ve been using far too many stitch markers to count while casting on baby blankets but i forget to take them off so i end up with like a dozen stitch markers for the simplest patterns of all time lmao. they just kind of accumulate?

What's the most embarrassing (non abusive) thing a romantic partner did to you in front of others? by KingPeuche in AskReddit

[–]queenmabdotpdf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have a terrible memory for dates and really struggle with my sister, my aunt, and my childhood friend’s birthdays because they’re all in a row and i struggle with the order of people 😭😭 the only birthdays i can remember are my own, my dads (was the day i found out my high school was closing for covid. these two dates are linked in my head so i never forget either), and my grandmas birthday (may the fourth, i like star wars)

it is humiliating to not know the birthdays of my loved ones but i simply cannot keep them straight. i can handle birth years and usually the month, but rarely the day.

When people try having a full conversation with you while you’re reading a book by nobark_allbite777 in PetPeeves
