  Let me guess, it’s hate against the people they hate?

  You know what? Screw you!

  Before that basically everything towards the magenta part of the spectrum was all just called red.

  And before that we have people looking at colours entirely differently, like Homer calling the sea the colour of red wine.

  Which my Greek teacher would explain by saying “my pencil is the the same shade of yellow as your book is blue”.

  That’s impressive! I’m happy when my unions are bigger than a plum…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends.

  It isn’t that yarn in itself is expesive, but if you’re knitting/weaving, you’re not doing it to save money on socks, you want to make something cool and unique. If you really get into it, you’re going to eventually want that specialist wool/bamboo/elastane blend with a super specific colour grade and maybe a specific manufacturing method too. And that’s expensive.

  Similarly, if you’re spinning your own yarn, you can get boring old for about half the price of boring old yarn, and even less if you dye big batches yourself. You can get a pretty nice wool for about a quarter of the price of the yarn, so far so good. But of course, if you’re spinning your own yarn, you’re going not doing that for production purposes, you want to make something cool and unique. So you’ll want to blend in specifics, like glitter nylons, or maybe even metalic fibers, and that long-fiber, ultra-fine angora will go great with a slightly thicker cairngorn, etc etc. And before you know it, you’re making yarn that costs maybe ten times what they sell at the local hobby shop.

  And spinning wheels aren’t exactly cheap either. Mine was something like 800 euros, but you can easily spend four times that on an electric wheel. You can buy a LOT of yarn for that money. And lets not talk about how much wool I’ve ruined due to lack of skill.

  Yo dawg, I heard you like ads, so I put some ads in your ads so I can sell toys while I sell toys

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing historical reenactment can be done in two ways:

  • spend an absolute fuckload of time on everything.

  • spend an absolute fuckload of money on everything.

  The former is more historically accurate, but I completely understand not wanting to pick up flax farming as a side hobby.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  finding workable clay in nature is stupidly easy if you know what to look for

  Workable clay may be hundreds of kilometers away, depending on where you live.

  I mean, I’m in the Netherlands, i literally can’t avoid the stuff, but not everyone lives in a giant river delta.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All the other ones also have copies floating on the great seas, and some are just plain free

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who owns a spinning wheel, you can dye and spin yarn at home to make the money pit even wider and deeper!

  It’s pretty much every other religion too.

  Every pastor who raped a little had that exact back story

  Sure, but you don’t go there as a punishment from god for a lack of belief, you go there because you did shitty things.

  Vantablack is applied via spraying it on at some 200 degrees C, then putting the object in a vacuum to let the nanotubes align.

  Its not really a paint.

  It’s basically a super fuzzy subject that changes as you want, and in so far as its useful it’s not new, and the parts that are new aren’t useful. Also, the guy who coined the term is a nutcase.

  All hybrid seeds basically only work for one generation, because basic genetics.

  Terminator Seedsare about 25 years old now, and aren’t actually in use anywhere.

  Seperator meat has basically lost all of the properties of meat in term of flavour or texture, so why even bother with using dead animal at that point?

  That doesn’t seem very Joker-y

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Eye Water Bottle...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, let me rephrase that: even small hobby lathes are pretty big machines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Eye Water Bottle...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I don’t really consider that small. They’re not really a “put it away until I need it” tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Control Resonant - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved Control, it had such a great setting and amazing world building that was constantly reinforced in your surroundings.

  The Oldest House was an amazing place. I hope they can match it with the new area, a city just isn’t the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Eye Water Bottle...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I want a lathe too. But there really isn’t such a thing as a small hobby lathe.

  All of them are spammy shit that they post far too many times. Good thing an easy block fixes that.

  Can. But shouldn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  small levels centered on some gimmick that get boring on replays.

  If I never have to fly through pointless glowing circles or highly dubious canyons ever again, it will still be too soon.

  I grew up on Sonic the Hedgehog and Battletoads. The former is OK, the latter is absolutely impossible now even though I finished it on the Mega Drive when I was like… 12.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Man, I used to beat this level so easily when I was younger..." Me now not realizing I did it on Easy mode⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All the platformers I used to think were easy are now super hard, and all the RPG and RTS games are now much easier.

  I didn’t say I agreed with his sense of right or wrong. But it’s very solid.
