I do not take the Instagram seriously, but its funny to see the slow gather of momentum!

Limit social media consumption as much as possible, but recognize that you cannot eliminate it altogether

Based and actually great advice

Pay attention to the comments you make about your own bodies in front of your children and the attitudes toward exercise and food you're displaying. Be mindful of the kinds of messages your kids are getting from their entertainment and social media activity.

Don't shame your kids for eating an entire box of Swiss Rolls, chud

Comment sections also expose posters and viewers to harsh critiques about people's bodies, which can fuel more insecurity and low self-esteem.

Very interesting how wanting to work out and feel better is a harmful social contagion but ing out absolutely is not

I'm not filling the silence, I'm not starting the conversation, and I don't ask his opinion on anything. We sat in silence for 25 minutes before a live show this weekend because I didn't carry the conversation singlehandedly. When he speaks to me, I always respond and keep the conversation going as long as he does. I don't ask him his opinion, though, and I'm not letting a lack of knowledge on a subject deter me from sharing my opinions. Woo!

I was a senior in high school with this clown when the parkland shooting happened.

I distinctly remember he wasn’t even at school when it happened and he was too busy hanging out on CNN when we all went back.

I kinda hate rationalists but I haven't heard a convincing counter argument on AI doom.

This all started when someone slandered the queen, AOC, implying that she is part of the 1% she claims to fight. She then proceeds to post the massive L that despite making $174k/year (before bribes) she doesn't own a house and still has unpaid student loans Of course this leads the fans of known peepee sucking s*x pest, Destiny, to defend their queen's honor by being anti-freedom communists.

You don't stop it, X is made for this, to push out anything Elon wants, playing with the algorithm to push out fake shit and suppress real things, it's the easiest shit in the world, I bet if I had access I could code the inverse in less than a day.

I wonder if he held this position before Elon bought it…

We're fricked. The last 9-ish years have shown us that something like 80% of the population can be fully fricking brainwashed by propaganda of one form or another; and we haven't figured out a way to counter, stop, or correct it.

No one is immune to propaganda. That's why it's been utilized since the dawn of humanity and will continue until the end of it.

And our national worship of "free speech" has been perverted to mean we have a right to be constantly be lied to.

We should definitely just give the good guys, who never lie, complete and total control over all facts. Surely they would never abuse that power

this would require government intervention to counter, but republicans love fomenting propaganda because they hate america, and democrats will never take steps against social media contagion because they're weak, effete cowards obsessed with protecting land grants and trans visibility, not protecting voting rights or america's institutions.

Please daddy government! Censor these filthy liars! Wait… I'm not a liar! Don't censo… ACK!

You want to silence people from making up blatant lies? That's what free speech is there to protect bro! That's dictatorship to be anti-lies!!

Freedom hating communist wishes we had a ministry of truth.

I've been wondering why tiny's been so chill with everything going on, and then remembered people on this media diet will only realize it's all fake after things get much worse. I just fear whatever the tech bros are doing will be woefully stupid, even more so that what Donald has in mind.

This "Tiny" he's referring to is the streamer, Destiny, who recently got in hot water after sharing a bunch of videos of himself banging both men and women with his groomercord friends. This led to them being leaked and him being sued by one (or maybe multiple) of the women from the leaks. Additionally all of his former streaming partners have distanced themselves from or completely abandoned him. The reason he has been "chill" is because he is laying low because he knows he's fricked. And this redditor gets all of his opinions from this man. Just remember if you're ever feeling low, you will never be as pathetic as someone like this

I know Americans don't like this with the 1st amendment and all, but at what point do you allow this to continue happening? Maybe it should just be illegal to tell blatant lies like this, but idk

Posts in /r/Vancouver. What do you know, a filthy foreigner with a negative opinion of the 1st amaendment! If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I'd have more money than AOC!

Anyways, America has free speech and it's here to stay, no matter how much commies cry about it.

Florence Spurling is a moderately popular knitwear designer who made her Scout Shawl pattern in 2021. It uses different color work designs "patchworked" together to form a shawl.

Earlier this month a smaller designer named Susan Chin released her Quilt Star Scarf pattern. It has a similar shape and patchwork construction to Spurling's design.

This has lead people to accuse Chin of plagiarism, which Spurling addressed in an instagram post see above and below

(I can't link to the post because Spurling later deleted it)

The scarves obviously have some similarities, but they also have some differences. Here's a list of what's the same and what's different that someone else wrote, speaking of plagiarism :

Both objects use Intarsia and Fair Isle/Stranded colorwork.

Both patterns have multiple blocks in different motifs, joined together as the finished object is worked.

Both patterns have colorwork charts. (Scout > Shawl is in full color; Quilt Star is in greyscale)

The border is not indicated on either pattern's chart.

Suggested Gauge for the two patterns; Scout Shawl suggests 28sts x 30rows for 10cm, using 3.5mm needles. Quilt Star suggests 28sts x 27 rows for 10cm using 2.5mm or 3mm needles.

Finished size for Scout Shawl is 181cm, 37cm deep

Finished size for Quilt Star is 150cm, 35cm deep

Scout Shawl relies on 5 colors and makes suggestions as to the color contrast if you don't use the same palette as the pattern. Color 1 is the garter stitch border.

Quilt Star relies on 8 colors. No contrast is suggested, only the colors recommended in the original pattern. Color 8 is the 1x1 rib border.

At least one motif in Scout uses 3 colors.

Each motif in Quilt uses no more than 2 colors.

Cast on is 8 stitches for Scout.

Cast on is 4 stitches for Quilt.

All sections on Scout meet at 90 degree angles.

Some sections on Quilt meet at diagonals, at ~45deg ish.

Scout has 10 distinct blocks and patterns.

Quilt has 7 (?) distinct patterns. There seems to be an error in the charts. I'm not sure my count is correct based on the charts alone. But it is certainly fewer.

Increases on Scout are M1L, Decreases are k2tog

Increases on Quilt are kfb, decreases are k2tog.

Scout's finishing has no special bind off for the remaining 8 stitches.

Quilt uses a seamed bind off for the 6 remaining stitches.

Motifs for Scout appear to be floral.

Motifs for Quilt appear to be star-them

Source

VERDICT: they're different patterns.

This didn't stop people from stirring shit, because obviously you need to have an MFA to be inspired by patchwork, and only one person is allowed to be inspired by a thing.

People (Spurling suck ups) went on social media to b-word, including leaving comments on the Ravelry page for Chin's scarf. (Ravelry is like letterboxd for knitting and crochet, and also a platform that many designers use to sell their patterns)

Source, but you need a Ravelry account to view

This lead to Chin taking the pattern down for sale. Satisfied with the results, Spurling deleted her post . And so ends another chapter in the ongoing saga of insecure designers accusing others of plagiarism.

A few I remember from the last year:

A designer put out merch with "Knit Club" on a baseball caps. Well some other pattern designer has a community by that unique name and also has baseball caps merch (but none that actually say "Knit Club"

"Only I'm allowed to be copy 1950s dresses!"

"omg why are you so obsessed with me, stop copying me" macrame. Except her product looks like something posted earlier by someone else on TikTok. (If they look similar it's because there's only so much shit you can make with macrame and there's probably patterns for something like this in a book from the 70s)

Source

One French company accused another French company of copying their, um… tailor clappers, test squares and pointer cowtools (these are pretty common cowtools that have existed for a long time, this like Milwaukee accusing Makita of stealing their idea of the hammer)

Source

I forgot to add that while I agree with most of the commenters on the craft snark thread, look at this b-word trying to turn it into a race thing

CC is a dissertation on the black roots of country/Americana music. You should be happy it won then… (1)

I said studying something and releasing what you think that genre is, doesn't make it an effective representation of that genre. So you claiming it's a "dissertation" doesn't mean anything. I'm not even sure what makes you say that. What elements of black country do you hear? When I listen, it sounds like a pop artists rendition of what they think country is…. Because that's what it literally is. It has more modern pop elements than it does country. (0)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡🔘🔘

My bad, I didn't realize you would take that to mean those two elements alone are pop. That isn't what I meant.Well no duh. I didn't say take Beyoncé out. I mentioned Miley because Miley's vocals sound country. She has a drawl and grit. Not saying you have to have those particular elements but there are clearly vocal differences from a pop singer and a country singer. If Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, or Lainey Wilson sang a song without a twangy guitar or overly hokey lyrics you will still recognize it as country. That was my point. If I took Beyoncé song with just Beyoncé and no twangy guitar or Miley Cyrus… it would just sound like one of her pop songs. I really don't want to harp you anymore but I can't just ignore this lol. Just as a twangy guitar doesn't make a song country I don't think corny country sounding lyrics make a song country. I don't think Lil Nas X singing about a a horse makes him a country singer lol. It's a great song and is fun. But, to me, it lacks any depth... (1)

beyoncé has more of a drawl than miley though, like her accent has always been very strong. and mentioning lil nas x in the same sentence as this is crazy lol. his was obviously putting on a costume whereas hers could literally be a dissertation about the roots of country music. obviously i'm not saying every single song on the record is country nor is she suddenly intentionally singing with a southern accent, but i think if you're gonna critique any song on the album for having "corny country" lyrics it shouldn't be this one. texas hold em is right there😭as far as the "costume" i just think that's disingenuous. nowhere has she said "hey everyone now i'm a country singer or country artist" but if she did, so what? genres shouldn't be gatekept. it limits innovation. modern country is borrowing SO many other elements of so many other genres but nobody gets mad about that. post malone is a rapper and people are saying he should've won over her, so why can't she win? she made a country ... (1)

Angriness: 😡😡🔘🔘🔘

I feel so bad for the artists. It's an insult to their craft. (2)

Angriness: 😡😡🔘🔘🔘

I mean there is definitely a vibe of her using country like a costume. Studying country aspects and incorporating it into an album doesn't make the album any better. No more than a country artist studying R&B and releasing some corny album with corny lyrics. Like "this ain't Texas, ain't no hold em"? Come on… and that was the most popular song on the album. Like what metric are we using to call this good? (1)

Chris Stapleton's biggest song is an interpolation of an R&B song you know shit about music. Don't you listen to different genres of music wtf is the big deal if anyone wants to make different genres of music (1)

So I met up with this off Grindr and fricked him.

mtf, stereotype, communist, neurodivergent, type shit

Dude was rambling about some nonsense, and I just nodded along, waiting to get it over with. About an hour in, we got down to business and I fricked his butt (with a condom, obviously).

Tbh I felt kind of disgusted, but you know, neighbors just gotta take what they can get

It is what it is.

To find the mystical true femboy (biological male that passes as female with the exception of the peepee)

But as it turns out, they don't really exist or at least, they're so incredibly rare they might as well not exist

It's like finding a cryptid, but at the same time, trying to find that true femboy is almost addictive...

It's like gambling, trying to hit the jackpot.

It's funny how woke/SJW are posting on all these places thinking that anyone has the wherewithall to actually read any of it. I don't give a crap about DEI, all I care about is who has the best product and the best price for it.What's more interesting though is the psychological mentality for people thinking this is somehow useful. It's not, all I care about is product and price. This is same train of "organic" food which failed because the real issue isn't DEI but economics for normal families. (-44)

No one mentioned DEI, I just said I didn't want to support MAGA. No one will have the best price shortly.And the best way, and most American way to vote has, and always will be, vote with your wallet. I'm voting with mine. (19)

So are you a capitalist or a constitutionalist.In your world, I am responsible for not only voting my conscience, but am then responsible for the economic stability of people who express ideals that are inimical to my belief systems. Under that logic, I am being punished for valuing things like free speech (if Musk is a special government employee, and he's actively banning political views from X, then this is a violation of my rights), separation of church and state, equal rights, etc.The moral gymnastics you are doing here is amazing. You've said it yourself, you really don't care, as long as people take care of your business by shopping at it. That's unbelievably selfish and completely morally vapid. (0)

are the two mutually exclusive?Didn't say you're responsible for others, but I did point out the harm that you'd cause (it would take a LARGE group of boycotters to have an impact, so when I say "you" I mean the entire r/kirkland subreddit) and the futility of your efforts (ya aint gonna change anybody's mind, but you will most likely entrench them). I can't tell you what to do, but I can let you know how stupid and futile it is.I think you misread. I pointed out the harm a boycott would do to businesses - not only the target's business but affiliated businesses and employees. And while it could include my business, the point I was making is the interconnectivity of all of us in this community. So how much collateral damage do you think is acceptable to punish someone for legally and constitutionally exercising their right to vote?Again, boycott criminals, child male feminists, and real Nazis. But when one group of people tries to punish another group for voting in their own self-interest,... (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

If a business posts QANON or MAGA paraphernalia at this point in the game they are advertising that they support an openly fascist regime. Where do you draw the line? (0)

What do you think will happen? If you boycott Spud Fish & Chips* because the owner voted for Trump, which do you think is more likely:a - The owner sits in a dark room with a glass of scotch and re-assess his life and choices. He thinks, "wow, maybe I AM wrong and I shoulda voted for Kamala"b - as sales at Spud Fish and Chips take a 10% hit, he lays off two employees and reduces his orders from local food and supplies vendors. He has no idea why sales have dropped because all the people who disagree with him ARENT engaging with him - they're boycotting. All he knows is what FOX news tells him, and he blames it on Bob Ferguson's climate policies. * I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE OWNER OF SPUD VOTES! I'm just using him/her as an example. Anyway, boycott child male feminists. Boycott real, avowed racists and Nazis. But don't boycott people who are exercising their Constitutional right to have an opinion (no matter how misinformed it may be) and to vote on it. Because that's waaaayyy too close to firi... (2)
