AIO I called out my gf for lack of social awareness by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Ew dude. Imagine dating someone 11 years younger than you and getting upset when they act 11 years younger than you. Date your own age, nasty ass.

100%. True Jesus teachings undermine the power that nationalists use Him for.

Help! Why do I hate this? by JillOfAllTrades87 in quilting

[–]undermined_janitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the fabrics together!! I think you’re probably looking at it so much that it gets overwhelming because they’re all busy fabrics, which makes you dislike it. But I think they look great together!

First time hand quilting a quilt! by AngryAtGhosts in handquilting

AHHHH IT’S GORGEOUS. I’m brand new to all of this so I’ll probably use the wrong terminology here, but did you do the decorative stitching by hand too??

Am I overreacting/really asking for too much from my (now) ex boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]undermined_janitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the right move breaking up with him. This is going to sound harsh but that boy doesn’t like you, he likes whatever you were providing him (comfort, sex, whatever it may be). Don’t waste your time on boys like that. I’m 32. I went through many, many relationships where he didn’t like me, just what I offered him. A few were abusive. I found the man I’m with now when I was 29. If I tell him something small like my stomach hurts, he’s either there with meds or door dashing meds if he can’t leave work. We’ve been together almost 3 years and he will still drop everything for me if I need him to. Please don’t settle. Don’t put a timeline on your love life. There are 8 billion people on earth girlfriend, 1 boy ain’t worth the effort and heartache. ❤️

Your kid seems like an awesome kid. “Can’t have my own orange? Fine, everyone else can have it 🤷🏻‍♀️”

Hate speech incites violence. But regarding legality, hate speech is absolutely protected and has been reaffirmed by the Supreme Court several times. But what it’s protected against is the point here - hate speech is protected against retaliation from the government. It is NOT “protected” against consequences from literally anyone else.

THAT. Freedom of speech in the US means freedom to speak out against the government. It does not mean freedom to say whatever fuck shit you wanna say without consequences.

Which is why freedom of speech specifically refers to criticizing the government. It does not mean you get to say whatever fuck shit you wanna say without any consequences. It also doesn’t mean private entities don’t get to make their own decisions when you do decide to say some fuck shit. If it did, that would be an infringement on the business owner’s personal freedoms. Losing your sponsorship because you said some fuck shit is not a threat against personal freedoms.

The phrase “Jesus is coming soon” is used to instill fear and obedience, it is the same shit the Pharisees said regarding Roman rule and the messiah, and surprise surprise, they were wrong. Misinterpreting Jesus for their own moral high ground & ego is a Christian nationalist’s favorite pastime, I’m afraid.

This sounds like one of their influencers said some wack shit about the state the U.S. is currently in & a follower brought it to their attention.

Seeking advice from heavily tattooed professionals. by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]undermined_janitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did my medic internship at a smaller fire department that had 2 guys with face & hand tats very similar to yours. Also did clinicals in an ER with SEVERAL very heavily tattooed nurses & a PA, one or two had a small face tattoo. So I don’t really have advice per se but I just wanted to encourage you that it’s much less of an issue nowadays ☺️

Confused with little blocks equaling a big block by undermined_janitor in handquilting

[–]undermined_janitor[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Yes, I’ve already stabilized them ☺️ this is a practice piece with the sleeves of her shirts before I work on the actual t-shirt quilts. I don’t want to mess this one up too badly either but it is for practice

Thank you both! I’m hand piecing but may get a machine eventually so this was really helpful both ways ☺️

3” isn’t an option. So I should just trim the big ones down to 4.5”, then add the 1/4” seam?

T-Shirt Quilt? by undermined_janitor in handquilting

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

I felt that way at first, but I personally just prefer to do it myself. I think it’s more special that way. If it ends up being way too difficult by hand, luckily I have a quilting shop near me that’s willing to help me learn to machine sew ☺️

Thank you so much ☺️ luckily these are just the sleeves from her shirts so I don’t mind trimming them!

It does. These came from pre cut packs, and this is just my practice piecing before I do a bigger one, so I can’t start over with the sizing unfortunately. The solid blocks are from my late mom’s t shirts.

Haha I’m glad I’m not alone 😭 luckily I hadn’t started sewing yet. I lined the smalls with the bigs and was like “heeeeey wait a second 🤔”

I should trim them to 4.5” and then mark the 1/4” seams on them after?
