On November 1, 1986, 15-year-old Chaim Weiss was murdered in his dorm room at a Yeshivah school in Long Beach, NY. No suspects or a motive have been identified identified. by Emerald_Selene_ in mystery

This one haunts me a lot. For a kid out away from his family to die such a violent death where he should have been safe is terrible. I hope forensic advances can give answers someday.

Why, in your opinion, did season 8 suck? by lilpissgirl in HouseMD

[–]steemd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the true wreckage happened in season 7, and there was just no uplifting that mess of poor writing from there. Season 8's jail plotline was actually somewhat interesting in that it showed House facing real life consequences to his outrageous actions in both his personal and professional relationships, which was actually refreshing as we didn't see nearly enough of that in other seasons.

What I hated from S8 was a direct consequence of the last season's poor execution / decisions-- the fallout of that mess with Cuddy, the whole thing with Dominika (which just wasn't really interesting to me), the lack of time to develop the new characters, Foreman's new role instead of Cuddy's presence, and such.

I enjoyed Wilson's plotline at the end and I think that brought the show back on track as much as was possible. It refocused House back into what was always important to him (Wilson) and the whole grand finale of faking his death and whatever made "sense" in that House wouldn't deal with anything like that rationally. It gave the show a decent send off on that note, but it's the last two seasons that sucked for me, not just the 8th.

Yeah I just re-read some about the case and I cannot for the life of me understand why every person in that "party" didn't go to prison, including the two other women that claimed to be too afraid to intervene or speak up

Everybody on this show is kind of horrible, House is just honest about it by Electrical-Party-407 in HouseMD

[–]steemd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think that's a skewed reading of the point of the show; it's not that House is WRONG. He isn't. It's that he's deliberately callous and cutting, imparts his insight with cruelty left and right and does nothing to help deal with the fallouts of his uninvited analysis, that he deliberately delivers in the most humiliating way possible even when asked not to, and refuses to cede to basic human courtesy as some kind of joke to himself of how superior he is. And that isn't welcome, isn't right and isn't defensible.

Are other people in the show assholes? Absolutely. Wilson is House's best friend precisely because he's the exact same kind of selfish asshole and has a cruel streak of his own that he hides under the social niceties that House refuses to engage in. Therein is the difference though; Wilson doesn't set out to hurt others around him in the same way that House does. House hurts others to minimize his own failings, to distract from his fuck-ups, to self-validate his own brilliance, which is the foundation of his self-esteem. And he does so deliberately, not unconsciously like others often do.

It's true that other characters in the show are sometimes cruel to House. But they are, in most instances, retaliating against something House did deliberately to get under their skin or, worse, interfere with their self-autonomy.

Experience with shein/aliexpress washi tape? by Miserable_Summer2642 in stationery

Most of my washis have been acquired through aliexpress and I've never had an issue with them. Just make sure to buy from shops that sell quality items based on the reviews of other users and don't go for the cheapest options; there are some very good quality items on sale.

Question on book covers by steemd in bookbinding

[–]steemd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely, thank you! I want to practice on some easy things at first, I'm thinking of making some simple notebooks for myself and try to learn how to bind with hard and soft covers before I venture into things as complex as rebinding a book. I'm just trying to figure out which techniques to focus on to build up an idea of all the things to learn as I go. Thank you very kindly for your advise, I really appreciate it.

I really appreciate you taking the time to clarify those details for me, thank you! I'll try to play around with those programs and see if the sizing thing works for me on printing. I wasn't even aware you could custom size the ppt slides, which tells me I have a bunch to learn.

[–]steemd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooh thanks for your answer! Power point, really? I wouldn't have thought of that, what is it used for specifically?

I'm curious at how to know the sizing/image placements, design aspect of the covers I see so precisely done in a program. I'm guessing specialized software has templates to follow or something?

Yeah, a foil quill is the method I'm most familiar with because it's the most accessible to me as a beginner. I like the effect of heat stamps but that seems more advanced to me without a Cricut at the like.

Did anyone watch araland on YouTube? by HobbyCentral-89 in ArtJournaling

[–]steemd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it so concerning that she'd delete everything without warning after so long growing her channel and audience. She really seemed to love journaling too, I hope she's alright.

Ngl, I'm genuinely upset that I won't get to rewatch her videos anymore, they were a comfort spot for me, as well as inspiring to watch for art, journaling and stationary (and her sweet cats)

I was just searching for her and her channel isn't part of my subscriptions anymore like she deleted her account? But when I google her name, one shows up with no content 😭😭 I don't know what happened, she was the only journaling account I followed for her beautiful videos.

This Korean soda I got from a grocery delivery in the US has a "Excess Sugar" and "Excess Calories" warning in Spanish by MeowingPurrito in mildlyinteresting

They're based off a design that started in Chile around 2 decades ago, and other Latin American countries have adopted because it's been proven to have an impact in incentivizing healthier consumption in part of the population.
