Isn't it funny that this:
"Society as a whole must be well prepared for crises — ranging from a pandemic, to natural disasters, to war," she said.
Became this:
"Schools should prep students for war, German minister says"
And to be honest, yes kids should be taught how to handle bad situations. Just like they need to be taught how to handle money, how to build a budget, how to handle their own emotions and how to see a clickbait from a mile away.
I'm trying needle tatting, but my experience is to end up with exactly what I started with, namely a thread waiting to be used :)
While it's easy in theory, I still have problems of grasping the building blocks.
My last big project was a "never again" cross-stitch from aliexpress. Totally understandable where you are :)
And thank you for the links, I missed one of those from my subscriptions!
:) Right now I'm back to digital crafting = programming. So nothing to write home about.
I did try to find some like-minded people over here, but it's not easy here.
I'm living in Las Vegas. And that means we are immigrants from dozens of different countries and basically 10% of born Americans were raised here. No history and virtually no community in this facade of a city. Probably I would have more luck in a small one gas station town :D
What are you crafting these days?
Nothing wrong with a month long hobby. Life is too short to not try new things. ;)
I had a bad mindset "cheap one minute joy" was negative in my mind. Now I know there is no such thing. :) Joy is joy - and by it's nature fleeting.
And if you don't mind sharing, what were your hobbies that you really liked even if they haven't lasted?
If you are into this stuff I'm sure we could be virtual craft besties :)
I kinda miss this thing from 100+ years ago when women (mostly only women) gathered together and did handicrafts while sung songs or told tales and gossiped about everything :)
It isn't that hard. You need a crochet hook, some yarn and stuffing. And maybe one needle with a big eye - but that's not that important.
I watched some youtube tutorials and learnt that way. The big trick with it is to use the "magic circle" to start the project.
Here is a random video for beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ushHnIxLdYw&ab_channel=olliehollycrochet
Hope you can try it :)
*forgot that you need a marker too to see where the "row" starts. (I usually just use a piece of those twisty ties that comes with packaging, but you can use a simple paperclip or even a big safety-pin.)
I would bring all the different handicrafts I tried...
From crocheting animals (amigurumi), needle felting, diamond painting, miniature building kits, tatting (tho I haven't have much experience with this), cross stitching, polymer clay, bracelet making, braiding (Kumihimo), beading, "light" jewelry making - depends how much time I have :D
BTW I am open for more craft ideas - I do try to find new ones I haven't tried before. :)
To make things worse, Vegas now have triple 0 roulette tables. Three zeros in a row. In the same place.
Do not play Roulette if you want to win.
The only bet in a casino isn't to the casinos favor is on Craps and it's called ODDS. But to get to able to play it you have to win against 1.41% house edge first. And it is capped about 10x or 5x of original bet.
If you want to have the best odds against a casino that is hard work and not solid strategy. Counting cards can make money but honestly the amount of work it requires - you are better on the stock market or even in crypto.
Do not gamble against the casino.
The only reason to gambe is to have fun and safe risk with money you decided to spend and to never see again.
Interestingly you haven't answered my question. Hiw much actal contact you had with these people you don't want to help?
At leat have you seen them in real life? Because you are doing everything with your demagogue to hurt them.
What they bring is suffering. No one ever wishes for a non responsible child. No one wants their child to be the "special one". No one wants all the hardship it brings. Even the proxy Munchausen prefers to have a functioning level so they don't have to do the work.
No one wants to be tested by a "greater power" (random gene selection) especially not the sick little being that Teoretically Could be cured but there are people like you who like to decide stuff for OTHERS.
How much time do you spend at orphanage with special needs?
How much contact do you have to sit on the high horse and try to be god?
How much time and money do you spend on personally helping the kids?
How many diapers did you change to get to this opinion?
Gene thereapy has a right to exist. And with everything else as humans, we will abuse it to the limit.
The problem is not the cure but the mindset. And your pretentious preaching won't bring conversation only suffering. You are not helping.
There shouldn't be a debate. If it can be cured that's great. You don't need it don't take it - but there are barely functioning people who can't take care of themselves at all. They do need help.
I gave a try to it and its fascinating so far. It's not nailing me ino the seat more like stays in the corner and nags me from there. :)
The writing could be a bit better but I bet by the end it will be better, leveling up with the story. :D
I believe some comedian suggested to respond with a similar vulgar question about their sex life. I think that's a fair point.
Tho you can always ask them if their first question to a stranger is a deeply personal one to get their own perversions fed. That way you are still on the high horse :)
