The thing that comes only with age is: to not give a fuck.

When we learn that it doesn’t matter we can all be little old people who are purple mohawk headed, wearing clashing neon adidas jumpsuit with zebra primted boas.

I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.

Half of the cars (okay 25% ish) in Nevada using California plates to save on insurance… I hope this will help this trend.

Honor means a lot of different things. And it has been used to commit so many different crimes against minorities.

I think nowadays in the western culture it means individual honor. It means to be trustworthy and to stand by your word. By the classic saying: “A gentleman can settle the bill later”.

The way late stage capitalism goes, honor culture will be left behind. Where every individual is reduced to a number, the concept is disappearing. You pay first before pumping gas. And the only time your wow matters is in the court when you say you won’t lie.

And this is one more reason why we need better accessibility in newly released games.

Chernobyl?

As a noob in unity and programming, my understanding is that MonoBehavior only means that this script has to be attached as a component to a game object to function. And has no other meaning - but correct me if I’m wrong please.

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 :)

Do you have any projects? I would love to see some of your work

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. :)

So you are non responsive person who can’t leave the house and soils the bed. Okay.

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.

It is the exact argument. You are holding up potential cure because it can be used for evil. While preaching that your way is the only way.

Let me guess you are anti abortion too.

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.
