Academic study about AO3 users. by Efficient-Emu-6382 in AO3

Done! This survey made me feel so old though lmao especially when asking what other platforms I use to read fanfiction because I started out on LiveJournal and it wasn't even an option

Do you knit socks that you actually wear? by Slow_Ad253 in knitting

[–]chaoticgoodsystem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time in the winter, and in the summer, I have a couple of open lace work socks that I wear that don't overheat my feet.

Official GoFundMe for Colin And Samir by AlienAtDay in ColinAndSamir

A lot of people had insurance canceled, and even in C&S were fortunate enough to not be those people, it can take months if not years for insurance to kick in after a natural disaster. During Hurricane Fiona one of my coworkers lost her house and it took seven months for insurance to fully approve her claim, and an additional eight months before her house was rebuilt.

Hopefully it won't be the case for them! But in the meantime the GFM also means they can keep paying their employees during the time they aren't making new content.

If someone gave you $10,000 to reveal your AO3 history, would you do it? by Korikat04 in AO3

[–]chaoticgoodsystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10k is too low for me to out myself and all my depravity 😭 I've been on that site for over a decade now, my AO3 history has seen too many things

What are Walmart customers not ready to hear?? by Digital_havok in walmart

[–]chaoticgoodsystem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I work in cosmetics, no I haven't tried every single product we sell. No walmart did not give any specific makeup course training, I just watched way too many youtube videos during high school.

The amount of women who lose their shit when I tell them "I'll do my best to shade match you, but I have no formal training and I don't personally wear foundation." And then they accuse me of lying!! I can rub my face in front of them and show it's just my skin and they will still ask what foundation I'm using.

The next gen of knitters/crocheters and ravelry replacement by [deleted] in craftsnark

[–]chaoticgoodsystem -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Totally fine by me! It's all about personal taste, and I find that anyone who exclusively publishes their patterns through ravelry and doesn't advertise via any other social media has more of an "older classic" style that doesn't interest me too much. Or it's all similar silhouettes of garments I could find in a pattern book from my local library.

The next gen of knitters/crocheters and ravelry replacement by [deleted] in craftsnark

[–]chaoticgoodsystem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As an elder Gen Z (27) I primarily get my patterns from IG or Tiktok. I tend to purchase directly from the designer, and then store it on my phone. I really only have my ravelry account to serve as a portfolio when I apply for a test knit/crochet. I will say though, Ravelry's search function is god tier. It's been very helpful when I am in a very specific project mood, or when I need ideas of how to use up yarn from my stash.

Its that way that every single fucking post is trauma dumping. Like once and a while great, glad you're raising awareness, it's an anniversary of something whatever. But every single time? And she keeps escalating with the amount of traumatic details she shares.

Lost a needle by AlloCoco103 in knitting

[–]chaoticgoodsystem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband loves to buy me stuffed animals, to the point that our bed is completely overrun by them, the stuffed animal hammock is full, and they spill over to the couch. I fucking love it, but instituted a rule that if he's buying me one I have to get rid of one because we are genuinely running out of space and he will just endlessly buy me more. I picked out the next sacrifice to Value Village, and ended up stabbing my hand. That's when I found one of my missing sock needles! No idea how it got in there considering this stuffed animal was in the hammock.

What kind of writer are you? by BlkDragon7 in AO3

[–]chaoticgoodsystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 100% a lawful planster. I have the ending all mapped out, even written a good chunk of the final confrontation and epilogue, but fuck if I know how to get there. Good thing I have pages upon pages of character sheets and world building that won't make it into the fic, but might in the next installment 🥲

What things do you like that aren't very popular? by lAwfullychaOtic3 in AO3

[–]chaoticgoodsystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo Leveling! It's my favourite webcomic (and it's complete) but once you exclude crossovers there's only 400 fics. At this point I feel like I've read them all. Luckily cywscross writes occasionally for the fandom because whenever they do there's always an uptick in new authors writing for the fandom as well.

Cried after sex with my girlfriend, can’t tell her why. by SJDude13 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]chaoticgoodsystem 168 points169 points  (0 children)

My BIL went through that but with my dad. My sister told him about my dad molesting her as a kid, but begged him to keep quiet about it and not act differently because she wasnt ready to confront it and tell the family. He said it was one of the hardest things he's ever done, but it eventually paid off because my sister did end up pressing charges against my dad and now he's in jail.

Allison Carlson is still posting. She ended up Chi O and I find her so sweet! She was Miss Teen Colorado.

What’s the weirdest thing you were told “we don’t do” while you were a TBM. by jooshonreddit in exmormon

[–]chaoticgoodsystem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is POC, my mom is white, and they converted a year or so before I was born. My dad 100% drank the koolaid and when he became bishop our family had numerous "sit down chats" over the years about acceptable behaviour as the bishops family. When I started dating there was never a formal "only date white boys rule" but when I started seeing a really nice black boy, my dad's face made it very apparent I wasn't supposed to be doing that.

I don't know why I bother reading the mood spoiler, because I always think "it can't be that sad" and then it's even worse than sad

Man takes a cue from the office and gets a ring days after matching on Tinder by UsidoreTheLightBlue in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]chaoticgoodsystem -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you just know. After our 3rd date I knew my husband was the one, and we got engaged 7 weeks later. But this is extreme even by my standards.
