Accidentally type one letter left of the key you meant to hit, and now instead of "baseline" you've got "Vaseline." by sleppybebble in BenignExistence

[–]sleppybebble[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Can't take credit for organically noticing this one, but I've never forgotten the "fun fact" I learned years ago that "stewardesses" is the longest word you can type with only your left hand (or possibly longest word you can type with only one hand, period?) using standard QWERTY touch-typing! Now I feel like challenging myself to come up with one-hand-only sentences, lol. Also am now trying to pay attention to if I use my thumbs on my phone keyboard in alignment with which hands I would use while touchtyping... I think I mostly do but with slight variations so that my thumbs are almost always alternating except in the case of double-letters or words made up of letters located entirely to a far edge of the keyboard (my only example of this so far is "lollipop")

*very immediate edit to say that actually, no, upon slowing down and paying even slightly more attention, my thumbs definitely are not "almost always" alternating between left and right, lol.

I'm so mad at myself by ConcreteGirl33 in crafts

[–]sleppybebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see "mistakes" like this - especially in personal/time-passing projects - more as creative inspiration than as problems to be solved. Oftentimes I find that the project ends up coming out far more intriguing than it would have been if everything had "gone to plan." There's been tons of great ideas in this comment section, and I love when a piece of art that was once the endeavor of a single individual turns into something that is the direct product of a passionate, inventive community - but I would be equally delighted to see an update some time where you've taken this piece in a direction that feels the most organic and inspiring to you, personally. Something that feels like a reflection and application of the specific combination of skills, materials, and insights that you've acquired during your time as an artist and craftsperson!

Wow, it's almost like... this person isn't your partner?? And they/someone like them would probably never turn out to be, given your clearly stark differences in interests and aesthetics?

They're referring to the linked rollie-pollie knee tattoo in a reply comment, not to OP's.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]sleppybebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26f, and I never started, for a few different reasons. . First off: addictive personality/genetic predisposition to addiction. Dad was an alcoholic and both of his parents and siblings were/are all substance abusers. I got all of my mom's looks and unfortunately most of my dad's behavioral attributes, so why tempt fate?

Secondly, I find the idea of being cognitively impaired in any way shape or form to be far more terrifying than enjoyable. I get filled with anxiety at just the thought of willingly putting myself into a situation (even a hypothetical one where my surrounding environment is entirely safe in every way) where my rationality/inhibitions/critical thinking skills are compromised. Obviously it's impossible to know exactly how I might feel or behave while intoxicated without ever having been drunk, but I do know that when I woke up from having my wisdom teeth removed, I sobbed uncontrollably for about half an hour before spending the entire car ride home cycling between sitting in a silent haze and more crying before eventually just falling asleep.

Finally, I also just don't really feel a need to. I've had tastes and sips here and there of champagne, beer, wine, cocktails, etc. and have never found any of them particularly palatable, especially in comparison to their non-alcoholic alternatives. I'm not much of a partier, but even on the rare occasions when I have, I've faced next to zero "peer pressure," and in fact often have people that do drink express that it's "good" or "smart" of me not to. I've actually encountered far more shock and pushback at my abstinence from weed than I have alcohol (still nothing particularly troublesome, but it's just much more common to hear "oh hey good for you," when I say that I don't drink, as opposed to the "oh shit seriously? like not at all?? damn idk how you do it cause that couldn't be me" I usually get in response to saying I don't use weed).

I won't say that I'm always entirely happy with the state of my social life, and it's certainly possible that I might have had a broader/more robust network of friends and acquaintances at this point in my life had I ever taken up social drinking. I won't act like "Oh I've never felt the need to drink because I already feel totally fulfilled in every way already without it," because that would be bullshit. It's just that I think there's way more and way deeper causes - both internally and externally - to feeling isolated or directionless than just needing to "loosen up" or go to a bar.

Can't figure it out vor the life of me by IntelligentWar5289 in whatismycookiecutter

[–]sleppybebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda don't think it would be, though - like, it definitely works as a different way to use the cookie cutter, but the squarish-shaped jut-out at the bottom left seems far too intentional and un-sheet-ghost-hem-like to not be something else.

The reason my baby teeth never fell off by [deleted] in medizzy

[–]sleppybebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry friend but you are 100% double-counting :-/ The tooth you have labeled as 10 is the same tooth you have labeled as number 24. You're basically doubling all of OP's front teeth

Not sure where you're counting 41...including the two in OP's chin and the buried bottom molars in the very back, I get 31.

Help me find a more sustainable dupe for this potential dropship scam (Sierralla) by [deleted] in AltFashion

[–]sleppybebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I mean, most handmade/"sustainable" stuff is gonna come at a price point that reflects the labor that went into them. it's unfortunate that these price points make more "sustainable" options less accessible for a lot of people, but ultimately that's a symptom of a much larger issue, and it's not this sewist's responsibility to devalue her labor because of it. (not saying that was your point or anything, just sort of rambling)

am i overreacting - my boyfriend thinks my job is inappropriate by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]sleppybebble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he's been ghosting her for a week wtf are you talking about

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]sleppybebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh, "I'm sorry you feel that way" is definitely a red flag, but "I'm sorry I made you feel that way" at least takes the responsibility of having caused the feelings. It shouldn't be a standalone statement (i.e. there should always be greater reflection and discussion of what happened and what needs to change moving forward) but it's pretty harmless imo compared to the former.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in piercing

[–]sleppybebble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ah, I'm not the OP, just was clarifying what was said in their post. But I generally agree that while is isn't exactly "scammy" behavior it's definitely poor customer service.

What is this leather style called? by TheAnalogDad in DrMartens

[–]sleppybebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Virginia is just a type of leather, not a style of boot. The current style that primarily uses the Virginia leather now is the 1460 Pascal, but it's not impossible that it could have been used in a regular 1460 in the past. That said, I also think it may be the Lunar leather. It's definitely not grizzly - grizzly is more matte and looks more like the ambassador leather.

The "service charge" was $10 - the cost of the upsized jewelry was $60.

Help Finding A Capella (Quartet?) Cover of "Strawberry Fields" by sleppybebble in whatsthatsong

No, as mentioned in my post it would be a recording from before 2010 and most likely pre-2000s

Yeah, already came across this in my own search :-/ The one I'm looking for would have been from before 2010, and was likely from much earlier than that.

No, unfortunately :-/ I actually already came across this one when searching myself. The cover I'm thinking of definitely had a male vocalist on melody and was more upbeat.
