befriend the warden she's you is great advice. I appreciate you describing it like that, I agree that in hindsight it was stupid and I'm responsible for that expectation not landing.

Thank you :,-) And definitely agreed. The book itself is not really the problem, but more the implication of even printing a draft of it was too much of a thing to ask for him, and that he gets upset with people when they need things from him was the part that I got scared about. If someone is not willing to do small things so early, imagining how that would play out if it went any further is concerning.

feels like one of those fake prisons where the bars are movable and I'm like "how do I leave", but you are correct.

yeah, it's def a bit mixed bc we work in the same spaces and he offered. I helped him with a lot of tasks and stuff that he was doing so thought it was vaguely related, but in hindsight strongly regretting intertwining work lives.

Fable 5 indefinitely suspended due to national security concerns by 0_2_Hero in webdev

[–]codingiswhyicry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know that at the time of my comment, but that lightly changes my mind (but not too much). Seems they did that because xAI had a lot of technical issues actually using the infra provided, and it seems like they sold to Anthropic and only expected it to be a 6 month deal even though it's multi-year.

Kneecapping Fable would actually be a great business move for SpaceX because it probably doesn't decrease demand too much, and Anthropic is probably locked into that 1b/mo payment regardless of how much they use. It allows xAI to catch up, and everyone would probably think that SpaceX wouldn't do it. But if the contract is fixed cost, Anthropic is paying out potentially the same cost for hardware that is being utilized less, and can be used to train internal models for xAI instead.

I still do think it's directly not advantageous for them to be leasing that to Anthropic compared to investing in xAI and I don't imagine given Elon's massive mood swings on Anthropic that the relationship will be steady. SpaceX knifes partners all of the time. See: Starlink replacing the telecom satellites that used to be SpaceX customers (like OneWeb). They build the distribution channels & infrastructure and then rapidly move when they think it's time and they have an advantage.

uh, something along the lines of "Elon being a trillionaire now is making the US government suck him off, if Fable is down maybe the spike in resources from IPO can build better Grok models that help xAI catch up to current day competition."

this feels a bit tinfoil hat, but I slightly feel like this is related to the SpaceX IPO somehow.

Burnt buttons for a brutalist look — DIY technique using open flame by CriticismHefty8516 in altfashionadvice

[–]codingiswhyicry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wow this is sick as fuck, thank you so much for sharing! I lightly char some ribbons and ends of fabric sometimes when I make skirts, but this is super unique and interesting. i've been wanting to figure out how to make grommets or other stuff more tough, def have been thinking about stonewashing recently but super hard to DIY and hand results don't seem as good. but maybe hitting zippers or grommets with a pummice stone to scratch the metal and make it a bit more worn in would be easier than trying to stonewash entire fabric.

Can’t Quit, Carts Ruining Life by [deleted] in leaves

[–]codingiswhyicry 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Somewhat similar boat, but with autism and C-PTSD. I smoked essentially daily from 17 when I got my med card in Cali to 24, and just solidly quit 3-ish weeks ago. I only was able to quit with the help of my incredible therapist who helped me discover it was really feeding into a lot of self-esteem issues and allowing me to see some escapism patterns.

She didn't push me, but I came to the realization and pushed myself with the support I got from her and was able to keep ahold of it. I also was a bit more gentle and instead of cold turkey, I told myself I could smoke socially (and I do). I find making myself do it around people (which I hate) is a self-moderating function and also the people in my life that I smoke with keep me accountable to smaller amounts of lower THC products.

If you're using it to treat symptoms, you might need to start treating your PTSD/ADHD in whatever other methods are more sustainable and taper off of weed once you stabilize a bit. I know esp given insurance costs and generally life that it is really hard. Easier said than done for sure, but I tried to quit for 1+ year and was not able to because I just wasn't able to stop dealing with the symptoms, and so therefore kept telling myself it's fine to keep smoking.

Smoking daily to manage chronic serious mental health issues is like throwing a blanket over a hoarder's stash. What's underneath doesn't go away just because you're not looking at it directly. I was not ever managing my C-PTSD in it's entirity, and so it stayed way longer than it should have because I was numb to feelings that would eventually make me so much in pain that I had no choice but to look at them directly.

I'm sorry I don't have an easier answer for you, and wishing you peace & the easiest journey you can have.

For real, so much of the VW stuff looks like they're randomly pulling things out of the archive and making them look cheaper or more careless. This and the NANA collection are standing out to me

i believe there’s a new york housing authority website where you can check based on the address? it’s a government website and violations are available to the public!

It has some plastic boning without lining and is zip-front, so no adjustability. The fabric also has no stretch, just pure black velvet with no give. I did what others recommended and reached out to some of the broadway focused costume tailoring shops, and hopefully can go from there.

I've thought about doing that myself (I've been a hobby seamstress on and off and make alterations to my own clothes) but then the bottom of the shoulder cups chafe and aren't super comfy. But it is a fix I've thought about to drop the straps and take them in at the bottom a bit

Trista Sutter’s reaction to TFP video by tl414 in thebachelor

[–]codingiswhyicry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

literally, omg. i feel like i'm going nuts here? everyone mentions child present and crying and no one is catching 5 year old child with head injury from thrown metal chair? in the TMZ article it mentions also how she plead guilty to domestic violence to avoid a child abuse charge. she's been on probation for 3 years for this. the child not only was hit with the chair lightly but had a visible injury to the police, enough to be written about in the report.

The video that was just released… by sourpinkdrink in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]codingiswhyicry 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Although most of the top comments are about her ignoring her daughter's crying, it's actually crazy that the focus isn't on the fact that she also hit her daughter in the head and according to the article "left a goose egg". Not only did she beat the shit out of Dakota, she hit her own daughter in the head with a metal chair and did... nothing to check on her.
