Agree that I was ok with the apology (this was before I read Madison's tweets). But then Linus came on camera and he was instantly getting emotional and defensive. Immediately any goodwill that had been regained by Yvonne and Terren were wiped clean.

Then I saw the Madison news and unsubscribed.

I hope they recover, if only for the 100+ people who work for them and rely on lmg for income. But if not I wouldn't personally be upset.

Thank you for sticking up for your employees. Had a similar thing happen where I was part time for a few months until things picked up. While it was difficult I appreciated that I had an income for then. And he gave me a stellar reference for if my finances got too tight and I needed to start searching.

This is why managers need to be included in firing decisions. The fact that Brittany here wasn't able to have that dignity enrages me.

This looks so ridiculous that I thought it was photoshopped. Just Ctrl c - Ctrl v that bad boy right in the middle of the forest green carpet.

It's the circle of pirate. Companies will never learn the only way to break it is to actually provide a decent service. They'll dip into being good, then run back to the same old same old.

I have reusable bamboo straws and love them. They're a little thick but work well and clean up good. Never gets soggy like paper!

Ah. I get it. So the correct answer is something that a lot of people leave over! Let's see... Micromanaging? Lack of benefits? Commute times? Oh silly me, it's ping pong tables of course!

Ah yes the fort pitt bridge. People were having trouble changing to their lane in time so they added a new feature to shake your vehicle over a couple lanes. Also gave an improvement on traffic since the far lanes get shaken off the bridge. All in all the bridge is now a good boy.

Glad I'm not the only one whose Gale has a dragon hoard of scrolls. No matter that half the party and Tav has dark sight, I might need that dark sight scroll!!

Best part of that movie for sure

I watch the anime gurren lagann. It's a stupidly chaotic optimistic show that basically asks "but what if humanity really could do anything?"

Answer: we would throw around galaxys like frisbees in giant space robots.

So when I'm down I like to watch it and think maybe I can do anything if I believe.

Mods could have forced reddits hand. If they had all striked and stopped modding at the same time. Leave it open, leave it up. But every single mod just walk away and watch reddit try desperately to backfill thousands of mod teams. But they played games instead cause they didn't want to lose power or thought their little subreddit was important.

I had really enjoyed the ea of BG3 so I'm pumped to play the full game! After two hours I'm pleased to say I made my character. Lol.

The red and white stripe dress Samantha is wearing is really cute! Nice work

I'm using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.

Lol, his brother is actually named curly cause he's a rex. Someday will get a Larry to round out the stooges. :)

I just made some jam from my gooseberry bush last night. So glad I got to it before the birds!

The slits and the pockets!! 😍 love that dress! Great work turning that old sheet into something awesome.

If you want some project ideas to start with smaller projects would be a tote bag, little cinch purse, scrunchies. Cute hammock and cage accessories if you have a small animal pet. A gathered skirt with an elastic waistband is also a great starting point as it's more forgiving for measuring. Apron patterns would also be simpler and make good projects.

Cottons are generally less slippery than polyester and are easier to cut and sew since the layers will stick together better as you hold them instead of sliding against each other.

Stick with standard polyester thread to start.

I hope this helps with picking some projects and fabric. But don't be afraid to try something if you really love the project idea. The best way to learn is to try! Good luck

I used mint on my laptop and once it was setup I was pleased. The laptop is a 2in1 with a swivel touchscreen and it's impressive that everything works. Hopefully it works well for you too!

Aww I have pet rats and absolutely need to know where you got that adorable rat sticker! Would be so cute while I'm sewing their little hammocks.
