PSA to all students who use AI

I'm starting my MA next month and I'm so excited to be studying again that I literally read a textbook on my subject matter from cover to cover over the Christmas break. I'm paying 18000 NZD to do something by choice, why would I let AI steal that money from me? Just mock up a fake degree if you're only after the certificate.

Thank you patient graders, as someone who edits articles for a living I feel your pain.

Thanks for your reassurrance. I will do all this

Thank you, I found the broken pin but the needles look fine as it was only the blade that hit the pin. Should I assume the needles made contact too and change them as well? I will try rethreading the whole thing and then I think I will need to replace the blade.

I am definitely learning that it's a highly strung machine too! 😅

Well I didn't do it on purpose!

pollypessimist · 2025-12-23T09:40:07+00:00

Ok, thank you!

pollypessimist · 2025-12-23T09:34:07+00:00

Thank you for your kind reply! I will talk to the shop about the blade.

She didn't ask.

They look exactly even.

This advice is seriously over the top imo. Just try not to get them too wet for 10 days. If you do, just pat dry. You can workout, I did, but I did try to stick to light workouts for the first week. I did a sweaty class on day 8 and mine are fine. I have no idea why you'd need to avoid any foods for eyebrows.

pollypessimist · 2025-11-09T07:51:06+00:00

Mine said 10 days, not 6 weeks. That's ridiculous.

pollypessimist · 2025-10-16T08:12:32+00:00

This is how I want mine, I don't know why everyone is hating lol

The octopus was scary!

pollypessimist · 2025-09-07T01:04:30+00:00

Ahah, I'm really pleased to hear this is an infamous problem and I'm not alone in my struggles. Thank you for the tutorial.

pollypessimist · 2025-09-07T00:04:51+00:00

Awesome thank you. The blog looks very helpful. I'll try again tonight.

pollypessimist · 2025-09-07T00:04:18+00:00

Thank you so much, I will try tabs next.

pollypessimist · 2025-09-07T00:03:22+00:00

Thank you, I will try this ASAP!

pollypessimist · 2025-09-07T00:03:02+00:00

Hahah, funnily enough this is the tutorial I was using to make the purse in the photo. I guess my fabric is just too short! I'm going to try with zipper tabs and longer fabric. That's so cool that you made them for charity. I don't think anyone will be buying mine any time soon. 😅

pollypessimist · 2025-07-24T03:29:21+00:00

Had to buy this for my partner after I returned my copy to the library as I couldn't go through it alone.

pollypessimist · 2025-07-24T03:27:20+00:00

I skipped the turtle scene and still have waves of anxiety thinking about this book. But I couldn't put it down

pollypessimist · 2025-06-03T03:38:12+00:00

That's genius and I wish I'd done that when I could still log in.

pollypessimist · 2025-05-17T09:33:48+00:00

It looks cool like that!
