"4chan was right " is a funny lesson to take when the files show Epstein was behind /pol and Pizzagate.

That’s a moderation issue, not a technical problem. Unless you want the tech determining what is NSFW, good luck with that.

This reminds me of the time someone posted in r/parenting asking what “Papa Troll” TV show their preschooler was asking for.

!It was Paw Patrol!<

You want to be searching for “male gaze”, OP.

Why the hostility? Because your “hot take” is actively useless AND harmful in the thread,

OP: Is this really offensive in the county of origin? You: I’m not in that country or have any connection there but -I- don’t think it’s resist or offensive!

Go back to Reddit.

You don’t live in the US, that’s why you don’t "see it as racist.

Wtf did you even comment?

The size of the finished yarn will be around 1.3-1.5 the diameters of the singles depending on how tightly the originals are spun. Woolen (fluffy, looser) yarns will compress more than worsted (smooth, tighter) yarns.

Hey! I recognize that! Mine’s under kitchen table.

Why does someone need one of these, you ask?

They are specifically for making yarns by on a wheel or with a hand spindle. If you look at yarn from the store you’ll see it’s made up from 2-6 strands twisted together. This is called ply (like ply wood) and the act of twisting them together is called plying. To make it happen, we twist the individual stands (called singles) in one direction a little bit tighter than the finished yarn will be onto the spools you see there. Then we load 2 or 3 of them into the lazy kate and spin the strands back onto the wheel or spindle, twisting the opposite direction. This sounds easy but it a pain to manage 2 o 3 strands of yarn to twist evenly without a stand like this.

Fancy versions have ways to keep the spools from spinning freely so they don’t unroll too much at a time, they are called tensioned lazy kates

Thanks, this was my order and my reasoning too.

You can live with the flat-earther even if annoying. They are kooky but not necessarily dangerous.

The mormon you can fuck and leave without guilt, no worries there. People can’t change the way they were raised and hopefully you can help them get some perspective in the meantime.

The Scientologist has to go immediately, no question. Don’t fuck crazy.

I genuinely love Robwords and watched one yesterday about lost negative words, but no, I looked this one up manually because I was curious. I’ll go look for Rob’s video today because I’d love to know more and he’s a great presenter.

I just learned the other day that in English “you” is the old formal.

Here in Pennsylvania, we know that Quakers used thee and thou far longer than anyone else. Turns out, that was a protest movement. You and yours were used for nobility and royalty, the piece I was reading said the “royal we” is a leftover from this setup.

As a protest against classism and politics, Quakers refused to use you and yours at all and used thee and thou for everyone regardless of status. Instead, common usage English went the other way and adopted you and yours for everyone.

My mother met old Quaker ladies in the 1950s who still used thee and thou in common conversation.

Argentinian government debt is mostly owned by big American investment firms like Black Rock. If their economy crashes, American Oligarchs lose $$$$ so they convinced Trump this is in his best interests.

Yes! Shoot your Monk is standard GM advice! they took those powers to look badass, just give them one useless archer per combat and they will shine! And throw arrows!

Damn! Mark Mercer strikes again!

A lady standing on my neighbor’s back porch smoking a cigarette cussed me out when I let the dog out. Except my neighbor had moved out last week (I had helped) and I knew it hadn’t sold yet. A girlfriend of one of the guys up the block was having a episode of some kind and had decided to squat in my neighbor’s home. I locked the door, waiting for the next morning.

I decided to call the Emergency Line to see if they would send mental health first but they sent the cops anyway. Our local cops are really delicate with mental patients so they got her back to her boyfriend and left the homeowner to cleanup.

This was true even in the 90s I’m sad to say. It’s one of the reason I didn’t pursue fiction writing as a career 30 years ago. I don’t think AI will replace any working authors because poorly written slop and computer generated text are both a lot older than today’s LLMs craze.

The field of authorship has been in a slow decline for a long, long time. It has a lot to do with the way the book Publishing industry was run in the middle and later half of the 20th century. We stopped valuing authority and authors and it became a less valuable occupation. This happened to teachers and a lot of other thought-based fields too.

The reality is that statistically you are more likely to win $1 million in the lottery than to become an author in the US who can live on their income from writing fiction. It does still happen but the people who’s work leads them to become full time authors are extraordinarily lucky, talented, hard working, AND again, lucky.

So you have to write for the joy of writing and expect to have a day job. And if that writing makes money, that’s great and you should keep doing as much of it as you can. But please accept that it’s not going to be your income driver for the foreseeable future.

Yeah they are called experts and they used to be employed by Universities and Research groups. But Americans decided they didn’t care or want people who actually had credentials, talent, or acclaim somewhere around 2016 and have spent all their time tearing down everything that made people credible experts in their field.

In information literacy circles we called this “the death of authority”, which basically means nob one cares who wrote or said something any longer. The person providing the opinion no longer has enough weight on the thing being said to keep absolute yahoos from being considered as good as experts.

Information and media literacy tells people to look at 4 things about a source

Currency (when it was published) Authority (who wrote it) Relevancy (how does it relate to what you are doing) Purpose (why did the author want you to know this)

And all of these are being eroded away. News articles pushed at you with no date, Opinions and Editorials disguised as regular news articles, etc.

True, but the second part was far more important. It’s not that they think they are right, it’s that they are CONVINCED that everyone else ALSO thinks they are right and are too scared to say so. So they are thrilled to force their racist beliefs on everyone because they are sure we are just victims of the “woke mind virus” or equivalent. They are sure they are saving us from ourselves and it makes them insufferable.

We didn’t do a good job in the aftermath of the Civil War cleaning up the people who caused the problem. We were too quick to pardon everyone and try to get back to normal.

That gave the losing side the idea that it was only a temporary setback everyone secretly thought they were right or else we would have been more angry with them and it’s been a huge fucking problem ever since.

Thanks grandpa. Did you walk in with a firm handshake too? /s

Jokes aside, I understand this worked for your industry for trade work but the OP asked for job websites.
