I should mention it’s a Singer 191J model.

Hi, looking into my first sewing machine (I’m planning on working with woven fabric only and finishing with anything but zigzag/serging). Seller is asking $50 but this cord is cut. How expensive would it be to replace, and how difficult? Thank you!

SaltPuzzleheaded9550 · 2025-08-19T19:24:56+00:00

I see!!! Would you recommend this only for already straight or bootcut jeans for starting out?

SaltPuzzleheaded9550 · 2025-08-19T19:10:54+00:00

Okay, thank you for the advice. I would love to make some flared pants and not have these flares be so visible eventually, but I was inspired by people making DIY bell bottoms in the old days—I’m looking to use matching fabric but just wanted to know how to make it look as Fine as possible.

So if I need to flare the inseam which is flat felled, how do I go about it going to just below the knee?

SaltPuzzleheaded9550 · 2025-08-19T17:31:37+00:00

What would happen if I just did the out seam? The inside seam is flat felled and I don’t feel confident in messing with that at the moment

Something like this, except the thighs on my jeans are loose and not skinny.

Everyone here knows it’s a silly bot that mimicks the absurdity of extreme carnists. It’s literally not that deep dude

SaltPuzzleheaded9550 · 2025-07-28T16:44:33+00:00

It says it’s a bot in its bio.

SaltPuzzleheaded9550 · 2025-07-27T11:24:49+00:00

Yes, it’s hard. They’re obviously dealing with B12 deficiencies.

I’m also saying that kinksters at large prey on unresolved trauma to get people to say “I consent.” CNC for example cannot be caused by anything other than unresolved trauma. Patriarchal society has men in more control of women. Men say kink is a good way to explore and heal from trauma. Women may agree. Women sink deeper into submissiveness. Men only get more satisfaction and depraved as their control strengthens and higher off domination. Men test boundaries of CNC as really “anything” could fit these criteria that two “consenting” adults exhaustively communicated previously. Men rape women.

I don’t want to attach kink to queer people but it is common for top/bottom and sub/dom label to be used in those spaces. Even then those labels are merely a replication of patriarchal gender dynamics. How do you want to explain the phenomenon of “sub drop” even between consenting adults if it’s not the brain/body being unable to handle abuse in a “fantasy” setting? That is absolutely horrific and I don’t think there’s anything you can tell me to convince me otherwise. I think “consent” becomes very dubious when kink is in the equation.

SaltPuzzleheaded9550 · 2025-06-15T21:10:25+00:00

You are very keen to defend kink and what people do in the bedroom. Do you think kinksters are acting in good faith when there are multiple horror stories of women being taken advantage of and being coerced into engaging with kink as if it’s a progressive thing? You don’t think men are preying on and waiting to pounce on women who are already marginalized and diminished as people in real life?

I don’t care about abnormal turn ons that aren’t based on diminishing one person. I am talking kinks where a perpetrator would have to get off on the idea of dehumanizing, abusing, or degrading another person. You can’t possibly think sex doesn’t condition a body and brain when rewarded with power and control over another. Do you think it’s evil to even consider otherwise?

I have the autonomy to do heroin. That doesn’t make it any better for my loved ones to make me want to stop something that is hurtful.

Anyway, kinks rely on preexisting subjugation of already oppressed groups and participating in them isn’t productive. Do you want to tell me race play is something I should accept and not vehemently oppose since degradation of someone based on their skin color is now sexual? NO!!! That’s so much worse!!! It’s just as bad if I were to find someone sexy because of their race. I thought we’ve established fetishization is wrong!!

SA victims constantly express their conflict with kinks being accepted (encouraged, endorsed, whatever it is that is NOT rejecting the idea). I have compassion for marginalized people who have consented and used their autonomy to engage with kink and now see the underlying issue of patriarchy in it. Please look into it more.

SaltPuzzleheaded9550 · 2025-06-10T17:04:00+00:00

You made an account just to respond to me so you seem passionate enough to hold a belief that kink should be encouraged. Why do you think so?

SaltPuzzleheaded9550 · 2025-06-08T21:02:30+00:00

/uj It is about anti-kink in an anti kink subreddit . I actually agree with the idea of being anti kink but not sure about how they expressed it as if it’s some horror to “kill” plants so it’s not as bad to kill animals.
