sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.

[wheelie-sick]

I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?

and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.

You are 60% water and every lake, river, pond, swamp, creek, and ocean you encounter wants to reclaim it desperately. Be careful out there.

Good, I hope it haunts everyone about to enter a body of water so bad that they wear a life jacket. 🙌

Every single person I knew (past tense) who has drowned was "a strong swimmer." Water in the wild does not care how good you are at swimming.

[should-be-sleeping]

I mean this with all due respect:

You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.

Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.

Shock does not care that you used to be on your school swim team.

If you hit your head, being good at swimming isn't going to turn you face-up while you're unconscious.

You may be unable to return to shore. Rescue may be unable to find you quickly.

Let me tell you a story.

I am an archeologist. I specialize in a somewhat obscure but by no means boring or meaningless Neolithic culture in Germany.

It has a Wikipedia page. A well curated, surprisingly extensive Wiki page that encapsulates all the important information about the culture, including literature references for further research.

One day, we asked Chat GPT about this culture. W were curious which details it would get wrong.

ALL OF THEM, except for the fact that it's a culture in present day Germany.

It didn't even get the chronological time frame wrong and called it a celtic culture.

When we told it it's wrong, it came at us with made up literature sources. Literally made up. It took two well known German archeologist who weren't even active at the same time, added a year - both were already dead - and sold that as source.

And it LITERALLY would only have had to quote Wikipedia to get everything right.

THAT is how unbelievably shitty and wrong all those AIs are.

They are making shit up. They are not sourcing information, they're just slapping words together by their most like relative occurance.

Do not trust ChatGPT or any other so-called AI ever.

people are clowning on this guy on reddit but uhhh let's pause for a minute and ask...so what happens if someone has a skin condition? what if part of their face has been burned? what if they're missing their eyes? and so what if they just have a fuckton of tattoos? recognition algorithms are aligned with the most ""average"" / ""normal"" features which means any deviation gets denied access to shit we didnt need age verification for 1 year ago. i dont care if it's a choice versus not, dont care if it's accessing porn or wikipedia, this needs to stop

2,500-year-old Siberian 'ice mummy' had intricate tattoos

The woman, aged about 50, was buried in a Siberian ice cave and discovered millennia later.

She was a 50 y.o. Siberian woman from 2500 years ago, living a nomadic lifestyle, and look at her tattoos...

Look...

I'm going to cry

[burins]

here is the full open access article from the researchers! one big takeaway for me is that almost every mummy we've found from the Pazyryk culture has had these intricate tattoos (although these are a particularly beautiful example.) the older the person, the more tattoos they tend to have. so this was a widespread cultural practice, not just one rad grandma! highly recommend giving the article a read - there's a ton of really neat details about how the researchers (including a modern tattoo artist) analyzed the art styles and techniques (relatively similar to modern stick and poke, but with a multi-pointed implement for all but the smallest details)

The absence of overlapping images or compositions in the corpus of preserved examples suggests that the construction of tattooed bodies in Pazyryk culture was approached in a structured and deliberate manner throughout an individual’s lifetime. This implies both planning and intentionality in tattoo placement and design. The confirmed use of multiple tools and stylistic variations on a single body also reveals that tattooing in Pazyryk culture was associated with a high degree of craft specialisation and was probably performed by multiple individuals. In this regard, the collaboration between modern tattooists and archaeological researchers has been invaluable in not only illuminating the techniques used by ancient tattooists but also in fostering a deeper appreciation for their artistry and skills, enriching our understanding of past societies and their intricate relationship with body modification.

the whole thing just kind of made me emotional about the great continuity of artistry across space and time. humans love to change our bodies and we put time and effort into making those changes meaningful and beautiful to us! a modern tattoo artist was instrumental in helping understand what some of the finer marks might signify about methods and practice!

A friend needs to renew her restraining order against a person who's been harassing her for years. This person says they are waiting for the RO to expire so that they can resume the abuse, so it's really important for my friend's safety that it gets renewed. Can you help her afford it?

If you donate it is best that you do so anonymously because apparently the harasser has started using the names of donors to find new targets.

Hello friends, if you've listened to and enjoyed SCP Archives or Gospel of Haven on BloodyFM, Daisy was key to getting it to your ears. She's in the process of filing an extension on a restraining order but can't afford Lawyer Fees on her own. If you can throw a few dollars her way, I'd be eternally grateful.

Disabled trans diabetic in desperate need of food! Any help at all would mean everything.

Hello all, im alx. I haven't had to ask for help in a while and that's been a blessing. But this last month I missed a few days of work due to an eds flare up. This has royally fucked me. Im $25 short on rent and have $0 to put towards food for the next 2 weeks. I made the cheapest order I could that would last 2 weeks and meet the nutritional needs having diabetes and liver disease entails. I just need a little help. $150 would get me food and the rest of my rent paid. If you can help with anything even $5 it'd mean everything to me.
