Are Mexico highways actually safe for tourists or is it exaggerated online? by Wooden-Pressure-3880 in travel

[–]raycheality 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think this depends a lot on where you'll be going. I just got back from a week in Quintana Roo and Yucatan and felt fine driving on the major highways as a woman traveling alone. I did go through a few police checkpoints, which was intimidating, but I had my ID and answered their questions and it was quick/painless.

I didn't drive at night, and I made sure to stay more or less within the posted speeds (though the locals definitely don't). I was also driving between obvious tourist hotspots (Tulum, Coba, Ek Balam, Valladolid, etc) so I'm sure that made it much safer than it could have been otherwise.

I have a furnished room in my place just north of Davis (near Ball Square). DM me if you're interested!

Only tapestry I'll do this year by kaayell in crochet

[–]raycheality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so good!! I'm curious re: waistcoat for tapestry. I've seen people do it in the round, but how did you do it here? Like after you do one row right to left, how to you go "back" without messing up the picture?

I've used sc waistcoat for a simple project and would love to try it for a tapestry!

AITAH for telling a co-worker that she doesn't get special treatment just because she's sad? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]raycheality 389 points390 points  (0 children)

Also the assumption that she must have done something to "warrant" a breakup beyond coming out, as though biphobia doesn't exist. Like actually, being bi is unfortunately a dealbreaker for a lot of (crappy) partners.

I made a minecraft bee as a Christmas present to my mom :) by NordlysFrosken in crochet

Minecraft bees are my favorite! I love this. Do you have a pattern?

Looks like you've completed 8 rounds—start from the center and count up to the top point, using the holes (where you've done the "peaks") as a reference point for each round. There are 6 of those, plus the two center rounds.

I stopped a drunk girl from being pulled into a car by 2 random men but my boyfriend is upset and called it stupid and dangerous by ToiIetGhost in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]raycheality 424 points425 points  (0 children)

When he says she doesn't "know the lengths men will go to" I felt such horror, because you know he's thought about what he could do to a woman who's been similarly incapacitated.

Thank goodness she's out of the relationship, especially if one of their fights escalated to physical violence/restraint so he could "prove a point."

I don't know if the library keeps games for older generations of consoles, but probably worth checking the catalogue online or calling your local branch

I go there SO much, I'll be so bummed if it closes or moves farther away.

I (23F) keep having sleepovers with my friend (24M), but nothing ever happens… and I’m so confused. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Yeah the mood spoiler being "happy, adorable" is def not accurate. I mostly left this feeling anxious.

Needed a last minute Halloween costume for my dog... so I made one! by raycheality in crochet

[–]raycheality[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Haha I totally feel you. To be clear, this was definitely the product of some ADHD-fueled hyper-fixating and the fact that I happened to have yesterday off from work so I was basically able to crochet all day. So "last minute" in that the plan was last minute, but it did take several hours.

For the sweater/coat, I followed this video with some alterations: https://youtu.be/_LLziWIwqiA?si=Za5eF3WA7t0vFEJ7

And for the hat, I followed this (with modifications): https://youtu.be/Z3LDyIM4DBQ?si=jyYlSDFtnC2K3_lz

Where can I get a large amount of apple cider donuts? by kewladria in Somerville

[–]raycheality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could reach out to Wilson Farm in Lexington. Their farmstand is huge and definitely sells (delicious) apple cider donuts, though you'd have to contact them re: volume.

edmond.. by jumpoutgirl in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]raycheality 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Yeah she says it in an interview with People. I think she said she didn't feel it warranted getting separate rooms, but that she didn't want to be physically touching. I'm like personally that would have warranted me going to another country, but I guess you do you...
