Stardew Valley had one that said something to the effect of "fixed the Geneva convention violation"

I laughed so hard I cried. Like Kvyat does. To sleep every night.

If you'd be up for modern fantasy you might enjoy Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, or American Gods.

For high fantasy, Brando Sando has violence aplenty but not sex. I really like the Stormlight Archives.

I also wouldn't write off the Shattered Sea series by Joe Abercrombie. Yes, they're labelled YA but it just makes them easier to binge.

I didn't even know about the pouch stuff, I thought you were saying his weird lumpy anatomy and I thought yeah that tracks.

Isn't a factoid something that sounds true but is actually false?

Hey friend, I fully agree with your stance. I was going through the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms and was actually surprised by how much is permitted. I always thought that Canada's freedom of expression laws were more restrictive than other places- as I have heard of people (non-Canadians) being banned from the country based on their conduct.

Specifically, falsehoods are protected "Being content-neutral, the Charter also protects the expression of both truths and falsehoods (Canada (Attorney General) v. JTI-Macdonald Corp., [2007] 2 S.C.R. 610 "

So that was disappointing. Also, there have been similar cases in the past with homophobic flyers that were deemed legal because the content did not meet the threshold to be considered hate speech.

I wonder whether it would be permissible to distribute flyers that say "stop cancer treatment for children! God doesn't make mistakes!" Borrowing the verbiage from the flyers in the article.

I'm feeling very disappointed at the moment. I don't disagree with the mom's actions at all. The content was fundementally abhorrent to her beliefs (and science).

 

I do the daily wordle, but lately have been liking the murdle and the hexcodle.

I've tried worldle, but I'm crap at geography. Probably a reason I should play more, but thems be the breaks.

Any recommendations?

More Socks (sh.itjust.works)
 

Apologies for the crinkly right off the needles mess. These are a gift and don't fit me, and I don't own sock blockers (yet).

Vanilla Socks but I made the cuff go straight into the heel because the recipient likes ankle socks.

 

Vanilla Sock by Crazy Sock Lady on magic loop in Estelle Sock twin crazy ball. Was not a huge fan of the yarn, as it is pretty splitty and a little rough but you guys I did it! I made my first ever pair of socks! And the rusticness of the yarn helps hide my beginner mistakes lol

 

I'm the crocheter who asked where to start learning to knit a few days ago. I'm now working on my first project.

I'm making a hat! Currently on my 5th row and absolutely hooked (forgive the crochet pun).

Question for knitters (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

What was your first project? I've been dying to learn how to knit, with the eventual goal of making socks, but can't decide where or how to start.

I would consider myself an advanced beginner to intermediate crocheter, but when my mom tried to teach me to cast on for knitting I went cross eyed.

Where's a good place to start? What would you recommend needles-wise?

Edit: Thank you so much everyone for the advice!

I ordered size 7 circular knitting needles (bamboo) to start. I'm going to try a hat so that I can get some practice knitting in the round.

My needles don't get here until Tuesday, and I can't walk at the moment, so I'm practicing casting on with chopsticks!

Thanks again

Ghostie Bag (sh.itjust.works)
 

Second ever bag, first time following a graph. Tons of fun. Now I have a bag to use for the next month and a half!

I really like the way the green turned out. I used scrap yarn so the white was actually a 3 instead of everything else which was a 4, and only have a 3.50 hook. Overall, still in love.

Pattern here: https://divinedebris.com/glenda-ghost-bag-free-crochet-pattern-by-divine-debris/

 

I made this as a gift, but long story short I don't have the right yarn colours or the right sized hook or the right eyes. So I improvised. Hoping it still reads as the animal I intended!

Ps. The recipient knows my current status and why I can't procure the correct yarn, etc. They'll still appreciate it I'm sure.

 

The hobby is tiny octopus friends. Pattern by Mohu.

Dollar store yarn (labeled mini skein with no actual weight), 3.0mm hook. 6mm eyes.
