I deleted this post because chaos happened and I did not get to do anything and I'm SUPER stressed out so I'm taking a goddamn break first, which I feel I should NOT have to do but that's how it's shaking out today

@futurebird I don't know if it counts as durable (I was not there for this conversation) but when my brother was redoing our bathroom he was asked what color he wanted the linoleum to be.He said purple.It turned out there was no purple, and frankly there weren't a lot of color choices other than gray.To this day I wonder why we were asked about color choice

@futurebird have you noticed this trend in like, restaurants and fast casual and such that they've got to redo their buildings to look like gray bland office complexes that don't look like they serve food?Like I have not been to a panera in years partially because I forget they exist, because all our paneras look like they should be law firms or architectural firms or something.Are we re-creating the giver? Are we recreating the story beat on neopets I didn't follow that took the color out of everyone and everything?

@futurebird RE: Intimidating-- not cross stitch but this is why I get irritated when people knock acrylic yarn in the Knitting or Crochet arenalike, you already have to invest a decent amount (at least one hook in Crochet, I imagine the same is true of knitting) and do you really want to drop 20+ dollars on wool or a wool blend (gonna be fully honest: It's frustrating to work with wool which is WHY I would not recommend it to be a beginner) and learn about matching dye lots (so your two azure blues look exactly the same next to each other) when you can spend 3 dollars on a Red Heart Super Saver that comes in every color and there are virtually few versions of Red Heart that have dye lots? because, spoiler: unless you are shopping with a pro next to you you are probably not gonna buy enough yarn.I mean I am sympathetic to the shed microplastics aspect (plus you have to be careful drying them, can't iron them for example) but I also think getting someone who has decided they like the hobby enough to invest more into it is more important than getting someone to buy a merino sheep blend and getting turned off by the hobbyIf I knew more about cross stitch (I buy patterns sometimes but usually kits) I'd offer my help but good luck!

@futurebird maybe this too mean even to Zuckerberg but I want to shove him in a locker and I was not a jock bully in school (assuming that was a real thing and not something made up. I was too fat to fit in a locker so). He just... gives me the urge to be a meaner person than I probably normally am!

@futurebird admittedly I'm not the best at math and I do have an anthropology degree (MesoAmerica was one of the places that independently invented Zero but I'm sure you already knew that)But I can't FATHOM counting or math without zero.There must be a way to make sense of it, but I haven't come to that answer

@futurebird this is mean I'm not Elliott I may have long hair but I don't look like Fabio and I'm not a nepo baby*okay afaik it never SAYS Elliott is a nepo baby but he has an upright piano in a cabin BY THE SEA. You would probably have to have someone from Zuzu City visiting to tune it constantly! Someone from his family is rich and or died

@futurebird I like that idea. In your head canon is he tuning the piano himself?

@futurebird "little guy" also applies to Mr Mittensor "baby girl" for the other one, Kyrie (not to be confused with "Baby" for the puppy)

@5ciFiGirl @futurebird Okay because my really anxious brain (not that I'm blaming her for my anxiety I want to be clear this was MY misinterpretation) was "oh god we just invaded greenland"

and remember if you happen to be going out today for a "reason" (do not give me details I do not want you incriminating yourself) leave your phone at home if can help it, or at least off and pin-locked (do not use fingerprint locking my understanding is it can be forced)
