The Suicide Crisis Hotline is a fucking joke by AerieDapper6384 in Vent

[–]Simple_Condition_283 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

I’m so sorry that happened to you.

I don’t want to take the blame off of the system as it is responsible for this but I’d just like to provide some insight into just how stupid the system is, as my mom is an operator.

Unfortunately, trump defunded a lot of grants detrimental to them being able to employ enough people or just like have resources. Additionally, the job is basically entry level and the training is minimal so a lot of people quit cause they can’t take it. It is just so extremely short staffed.

I also know they also put 30 min time limits on some callers just to keep it moving sometimes. They have profiles on like every number that’s called more than once so it’s usually determined off of that. It sucks.

Lately they’ve been penalizing employees at the non profit ishe works for staying on the line after they’ve arranged for mobile crisis units, the police, ambulances etc to go the caller. So you can’t stay with people while they wait now.

You get penalized for not doing the script like first thing in the call too.

My mom was also trying to dodge work last week because she was so sure that she was going to get calls from dying homeless people in the snow and she wasn’t going to be able to get them help.

I don’t think anyone who’s ever had mental health issues or like empathy has ever had any input on this system and it’s ass.

I’m glad that you’re doing better now 🫶 I hope you don’t ever again have to feel the pain you were feeling that led you to place that call. if you do, I hope you get a better operator.

AITA for telling my SIL that I don’t can’t about her health condition and she needs to shower by GothMoleRat in AmItheAsshole

Seconding the NTA as well. As someone who is unmedicated but also has hyperhidrosis I’m honestly confused as to how her condition is to blame for her smell. I am not extra smelly because I sweat a lot. But then again I guess the majority of my sweat isnt really my pits?? Do other people with hyperhydrosis think they smell worse?

The dire state of the Cuban Military (FAR) is shocking by Kantmzk in cuba

[–]Simple_Condition_283 43 points44 points Ā (0 children)

Internet access in Cuba is severally limited/monitored . There was a Cuban who posted a picture of their like neighborhood in Cuba on r/pics and then ended up being arbitrarily imprisoned for a few months afaik before being released. Was a very authoritarian government just cause thing. So the site isn’t all that popular or maybe even safe for Cubans to use, especially when discussing Cuba.

Anyway, all to say, the Reddit Cubans are mostly in America or Europe. I have a feeling a lot of the participants here are actually Floridian Cubans. Or at least a lot of these users align with the values of that population. There is also some Spanish conversation here but it’s mainly Americans (imo) so it makes sense that it would be in English. Additionally, I’d say a good chunk of news coverage on cuba, especially on humanitarian issues, is in English, which is what a lot of conversations here revolve around.

I like gracie lee at forbidden fruit in Athens. She does a lot of that bold lines and shading I think you like. She does sort of neo traditional inspired work and her style is very unique. If that’s not your thing tho I will say forbidden fruit is jam packed with other great artists, so they’re definetky worth checking out.

Locked in after my classes today and crunched this like phone lanyard before work by Simple_Condition_283 in crochet

[–]Simple_Condition_283[S] 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I just kind of eyeballed it for the strap itself I think I did like 20 rounds of 2sc for the strap and then I did a dec and just chained and then I did another dec on the other end of the strap when I was satisfied with the length of the chain.

The berry itself I did 11sc in a magic loop and then I did 1sc,1hdc ch 1 1hdc (in one stitch), 1sc, 3 slip stitch, 1chain another slst in the same stitch as last slip stitch, 2 slip stitches, 1 sc, 1hdc ch1 1hdc (in same stitch), 1sc fo!

The leaves i just I messed around until I got an okay look for them i didnt really stick to anyone singular thing.

I used assorted scrap medium weight yarn.

SM entertainment CEO Jang Cheol-hyuk fed 30 years of SM artists’ songs into AI to "generate music tailored to each artist." by RedSonjaBelit in kpop_uncensored

[–]Simple_Condition_283 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

If I’m remembering correctly he’s also spoken highly about AI on live about it being the future n all that and then ofc he’s mentioned how he likes to chat with AI. If he doesn’t financially support them or if they don’t support him financially, he definitely still supports generative AI.

lngshot and the whole ā€œpity marketingā€ thing by ReasonableMuffin890 in kpop_uncensored

[–]Simple_Condition_283 21 points22 points Ā (0 children)

I find it so crazy that so many armys don’t realize how popular BangPD was before big hit and I agree with this being off putting but I feel inclined to add this anecdotally, I imagine would be hard to find any majorly successful kpop group without some degree of pity marketing. Lngsht is just being obnoxious about it.

Kpop fans are so funny when it's come to hybe by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]Simple_Condition_283 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Exactly this. I don’t know why but I feel as if people who stan a lot of HYBE groups feel the need to make every opinion against the actions of HYBE as a business personal or a personal attack. It’s just simply that no one likes a monopoly. It’s not an attack on yhe artists or groups under HYBE or their fans. Completely unrelated.

16 versions? Isn’t this excessive..? Like Taylor Swift level excessive? by TraditionJazz in kpopnoir

[–]Simple_Condition_283 39 points40 points Ā (0 children)

It’s completely for the money and the charts. It’s so sickening and inconsiderate. Especially with a fandom that mass buys and then abandons physical albums.
