So excited to start! Need tips

Hi everyone! First off thank you all for sharing your amazing work here. I’ve been popping in here for a few weeks now and I’m happy to say you’re all the reason today I’ve got my first kit. I’d tried cross-stitching (very basic stuff though) as a kid but now I can feel the calling is strong. I’m very excited to...

subnuggurat,

Thanks for all the good advice! And for taking the time to type it down. I was wondering about the knot actually, thanks for clarifying that.

I love the idea of playing with the number of strands to emphasize parts of the design, hopefully will soon be designing original work. The compression glove seems to be a must, I didn’t even know they existed!

subnuggurat,

Thanks! Very useful advice really. I’m the kind of person who wouldn’t have thought about this until way too late. So far I’m just starting to get the hang of it. My goal is to get to the point where I can design original art that I can then cross-stitch and frame. My first project is a doodle my 5 year-old made the other day that I traced using an app meant for pixel art and then made into a very basic pattern (one colour, no backstitching or half stitches). Time to work on it is limited but I’m having lots of fun so far

subnuggurat,

Granted. You know the outcome before you get involved, meaning before you even establish contact. Everyone you cross paths with is potentially a relationship with an outcome you now know, as a result you have a natural emotional response to each one without any of them actually happening in reality. Any exposure to people becomes unbearable, merely going outside carries the risk of having the worst possible outcomes imaginable become part of your headspace, constantly. This dumps you into a permanent state of neurosis and paranoia, you start isolating yourself from anyone and then become incapable of functioning mentally and emotionally. Of course no one believes you and after your family gets involved, you are forcibly committed to a mental institution where there’s an unending stream of worst possible outcomes for you to know.

subnuggurat,

Thanks to these radicals children are gonna grow dependent on handouts, thinking they deserve stuff just for being “good” instead of earning an honest living by working 3 shifts at two jobs like the rest of us.

subnuggurat,

Granted. The limits of your human mind remain the same: too small, too fragile. Unable to comprehend the breadth of the cosmos itself, you’re now like a rubber balloon trying to contain the ocean. You go immediately insane.

subnuggurat,

Granted. Your car falls off the side of the road on your way home. You’re now in a coma.

subnuggurat,

People! What a bunch of bastards!

subnuggurat,

Hope you’re well stranger

subnuggurat,

TBH that rant did very little to disprove therapy might be in order

subnuggurat, (edited )

Right or wrong is beside the point. Therapy is about emotional balance and well-being. I sincerely hope you’re well but these kinds of rants often come across as personal anger being projected on topic x. I don’t doubt that’s how you see the world around you at the moment but not everyone does and that doesn’t mean they’re wrong, blind or stupid. Some people can see the same atrocious state you see and counterbalance it with the good they can also see around them. Being aware of our species wrong-doings is as important as becoming sensitive to its virtues. If someone can’t see any virtues at all, to the point they advocate death, they’re more likely either insensitive or have been handed a very rough hand in life. Therapy can help in any of those cases.

subnuggurat,

Cool. I’m not making an argument nor countering whatever it is you believe, please don’t mistake my engagement, have zero interest in ‘discussing’ with you. I was merely answering your question about my previous comment. Live as you see fit.

subnuggurat,

It’s started!

subnuggurat,

Only one Jesus at a time. Rules are rules, same in football matches and elections.

subnuggurat,

Some dumb neuron in my brain still hits play on this song at the most random times. Thanks for the link!

Who put the goat in there?

subnuggurat,

Perhaps the fun is in sharing what caused it to you instead of getting it yourself. I’d be curious to know what causes it to other people, after all it’s something that’s very intimate and rarely comes up in conversation.

subnuggurat,

I keep reading this person’s name as ‘Aerobike’. Just can’t help it.

subnuggurat,

Easy mode?

subnuggurat, (edited )

This is a fuzzy memory but I think it was a web page with a live video feed of a coffee maker. I think you could even turn it on remotely. Maybe someone else can confirm if that was the case, my brain could be making up memories again. (It kinda was). Here is the story: How the world’s first webcam made a coffee pot famous

subnuggurat,

I’ve come to like Pandorum a lot over the years. I now make sure I watch it every once in a while.

The Church of Transfiguration (i.imgur.com)

Kizhi Pogost is a historical site in Kizhi Island, Russia, and it consists of two churches and a bell tower. The two 18th century churches are actually built on the site of the old ones burnt by lightning in the 17th century. It is interesting that these churches were built without any nail, except for the aspen shingles on...

subnuggurat,

That’s a really cool bit if knowledge. I honestly thought this was AI generated at first glance.
