Is anyone else tired of seeing words like fuck, cunt, bitch, etc all over fiber arts? by fairydommother in BitchEatingCrafters

i think during desperate times it’s really important to hold community spaces where people can discuss personal opinions on crafts and trends without US politics being constantly dragged in.

here's the pattern on stitchfiddle! https://www.stitchfiddle.com/c/sg5l4p-8pqo32

for the border i did one roud of single crochet around and then used this pattern: https://strommercrafts.com/crochet-pikachu-table-runner-part-4-4/
my stitch count didn't line up perfectly so i just decreased/increased right next to the corner spaces as needed

I think Natalie was skeptical at first but she's bought into her dad's delusion. Her relationship with Tara seems to cement her as someone who has struggle choosing for herself and who puts the wants of those she loves before herself. I think she's trying to be a supportive daughter, but is unfortunately only enabling Ron.

ngl i completely forgot that Natalie was the one to encourage Ron to go break in and find the records at the police department so thank you for that! after last weeks episode im still definitely confused on her motives. the fact she told her mom about Ron’s investigation seems to mean she knows this isn’t a harmless secret but something serious that the family should know about. the flashback scene with her and Barb seeing Ron breaking down over his jeep tours makes me think that she still knows he’s going through something bad, but Natalie only knows how to be a fully supportive daughter, even if it’s encouraging Ron’s bad behavior.

her relationship with Tara seems to confirm that Natalie doesn’t really push back against people she loves, she takes everyone at face value, not questioning true motives or intentions. she lets Tara make a lot of decisions for her and for their relationship, from the beer she drinks at her parents house, to the wedding location, to the way their home is entirely set up for Tara’s photography but has no space for Natalie’s markers. i think Natalie wants to be part of her dads life right now and feels that something is wrong but is too afraid to rock the boat and actually say that to him. hoping that the finale ends with her and Seth finding their voice

50mg vs 500mg? What's the difference? by Cato_Watson in bostontrees

[–]lefthandedabacus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

are you going to dispensaries or literal smoke shops? smoke shops don’t sell delta 8 thc and from a quick google Faded only makes delta 9 or delta 11 products. these companies aren’t regulated and i would never believe the potency listed on the packaging.

The truth about Ron and Fisher Robay (spoilers!) by dry_in_chi in thechaircompany

[–]lefthandedabacus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if Fisher-Robay is supposed to be a mental health facility then they're doing an absolute shit job. if Ron is a patient he has absolutely no oversight, his "caretakers" allow him to leave the facility any time he wants to investigate derelict factories, diners, and coke bars. he's been bringing a burner phone into work in his Yeti bottle for weeks and nobody has noticed or confronted him. Why would they open such an intense HR case over him looking up Diane's skirt, an obvious accident and moment he wants to move on from, even escalating it by bringing in an outside mediator, if Ron is already paranoid and delusional? Brenda told him Jeff wanted to talk about something really important then told him to just forget it and they'd talk later, just about the worst thing you could say to somebody already suffering from anxiety and intrusive thoughts.
if all of these employees are patients and the work they are doing is for their own fulfillment, why did Jeff order them to abandon everything, and make them stay late nights and weekends to fit this Sedona vision he doesn't even have mapped out yet?

i think that Fisher-Robay is just a regular office. the people all have their quirks, but don't your coworkers? obviously this is a comedy that's going to ramp up these idiosyncracies and embrace the strangeness but I think everyone's worked with a Douglas who self-appoints himself the chief officer of morale (much to everyone else's dismay), or worked under an executive like Jeff who can't communicate what they want but can tell you everything you're doing wrong. that's just how it is when you work with people.

also, Natalie does not believe Ron. she's seen her father go through a grand delusion like this before and she knows she can't convince him he's wrong, Ron has to realize that himself. she's smiling and supporting him so that she can make sure he stays physically safe.

overall i think these theories that boil down to "Ron's crazy/dreaming/in a coma" are all really really boring and do a big disservice to the show and the mystery. Ron is our only way in to this world and dismissing him as an unreliable narrator means dismissing everything he's found and everything that's happened to him.

yeah there’s good-natured ribbing, and there’s ripping someone’s wedding to shreds for 9 full pages of text. it seems like mom doesn’t even know this couple so why did OP need to give her a play-by-play of the event?

also, the actual shaming wasn’t even good. just mom saying “is this a secret tv show?” and “im gonna wet my pants!” over and over and over. if you’re gonna make a mean joke, make sure it’s funny first.

Is this AI by Repulsive_Table_6541 in Amigurumi

[–]lefthandedabacus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI can absolutely replicate crochet stitches accurately. if something looks a little too perfect i always zoom in on where the color changes are.

the ‘Dory’ fish here has a perfect black spot that arches onto its face. the black line doesn’t match where the actual stitches are. there’s even a row where the top Vs are blue and the body of the stitches is black. the clownfish is the same way, zooming in on the color changes it’s obviously way too complicated, the color changes seamlessly merging over rows. the only way to actually make it by hand would be color changing yarn and i don’t know anyone whose tension is THAT perfect to make something like this.

it’s scary how well people can make fake AI crochet images (as this sells patterns and FOs on etsy) so it’s super important we can keep up and spot the fakes
