I had to go look those up, I had not heard of them They look tasty but, damn they are a little pricey, at least in my area. Are they pretty good sized/filling?
I am horrible at these things so I asked chat gpt and it's suggestion is "Connect, Create, Collaborate: Empowering Communities on Lemmy!"
I don't know if it will work on those surfaces but, dry erase maker can get permanents to start lifting on some. Otherwise, big ass chisel tip.
I'm not sure if I could handle it then, this one dips into the uncanny valley, or something, as is.
And too many people try to hand over ambi/lefty Grip scissors and think they are the same. I've tried to explain the blade flip to other people who look at me like I'm insane or try to explain back to me how it's impossible. If I hadn't gone to an awesome elementary school with an overstocked art room I would have never encountered them. They even had little blunted ones for kids, but it was the 80's so we used the sharps anyway.
I found a decent pair on Amazon and I think it has helped with the regularity I am hitting that sweet spot.
Still stand by my "I'd love to do it" though. My jobs have all been crap and putting up with others shit and bad management, so pretending to be an alien is still stepping up to me, lol.
Hey, thank you! That was super interesting. I would imagine working communities like that would be much more localized for infrastructure of daily needs. Since I do not have much to offer on the real world side of things, and I like to idealize the Star Trek future, I'll share what my brain is using as a place holder for this one at the moment.
Maybe his family's vineyard is so good and well liked, that not just the community but the whole region enjoys being known as the home of that wine. Since the Picard's are good people they do not take advantage of their place as caretakers of the Vinyard. Maybe there are large gatherings and events even, that take place on the grounds. Fall festivals, weddings, Bah Mitzvah's (sp?), etc.
Tiptoe through the tulips...
Me too! It's nice to have a cultured friend or two even if you gotta wait on them to do the cool stuff. Nice that in some circles we may be considered cultured, haha!
I like this idea the best. The mental imagery is very amusing.

Some of do wish we were tall. Not all of us care what a potential mate finds "cute". We want to be able to be safe wearing seatbelts instead of higher chances of decapitation. We want to be responded to like adults, especially in our 40's, instead of treated like children. We want to be independent while working on and around our homes without fear of falling of stools and ladders to put dishes away or calling a man for help. Being told a job your interested in wouldn't be a good fit, because of your size...
I even have pairs of "shit stompers", as my friends call them, platform boots that give me about 2 1/2 inches more height so I can be self-reliant. Sold as "clubbing boots" but I wear them regularly for mundane shit.
Getting literally looked down on, by everyone, everyday, gets really tiring, especially after decades of it. I am 5"3 (so not even THAT short) and can't see shit in large crowds besides asses and backs. Have been actually stepped on by tall folks (even people just at 5'6"... like, come the fuck on) who don't realize there are people shorter than their eyes and don't care to look down. My head gets hit by average and tall people's elbows (hard) in club or crowd environments because again, they have no idea someone can exist below their eyeline, or just don't care. Can't go to bars or clubs alone because we are easy "marks" so we need an adult or a man to accompany us, to dissuade sexual preditors.
Anyone remember vehicles with bench seats? How degrading is it to not be able to reach the pedals because the seat only has 3 notches, and the closest one is still for people taller than you? Getting told "you should get yourself a booster seat" like I'm a kid in a restaurant.
Not every girl wants to be "cute". Some of just want to "be", and be safe. Self defense classes really drilled into my head the dangers of "looking like an easy mark" it's assumed short women won't put up as much of a fight and are easier prey. Learned to carry a "big" presence, and found a lot less sketchy characters would try to approach me. Staying that alert is fucking exhausting and makes going out, at night, in cities, to large parking lots, to bars and clubs, to concerts, a lot less enjoyable.
Sorry for the rant. But just because some folks might see short as cute, does NOT mean we short folks concur, or see that "cute" makes up for the rest of the shit and dangers we have to deal with. Or, even want to be "cute".
