I’m sure turning on a few more nuclear plants to power shoveling an ever larger body of AI slop-contaminated text into the world’s most expensive plagiarism machine will fix it!

I didn’t even know Junji Ito did a Frankenstein adaptation, so I am one of those wondering. Thanks for the info!

Dye lots and stuff like that can vary, but with the big brands like DMC and Anchor they’re usually better than looking at your screen to guesstimate the color. Still worse than seeing what you’re buying in front of you, though.

If you’re buying only from fairly established, large scale thread producers, then you actually can buy a thread sample book.

Key word there: buy. They’re like $30 if you get the kind with actual thread. Which is a lot of thread you could be buying instead. Not being able to see craft stuff in person sucks.

Damn, and I thought seeing around $10 here was bad.

Stop following me around, my therapist!! 😂 I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard almost exactly that in therapy, haha.

But for real you’re 100% right, and it’s good to remember that.

Is there not enough about Musk to hate without resorting to AI slop that reduces everything odious about him to “Elon fat”?

That makes the one shitty English teacher I had stand out even more in my mind. She wasn’t quite Roald Dahl character level shithead, but she was close. I’m pretty sure her being ex-military had a lot to do with it.

It’s a HUGE red flag for someone to come into a trans focused community and start talking about “futa girls” when that wasn’t the topic. Definitely seems like the kind of language and mindset you get from porn consumption and not normal, non-sexualized interaction with trans people.
