anyone else notice how when "digital assistants" were just supposed to do specific tasks when you asked for them we had Alexa and Siri and Cortana, but now that they're being marketed as smart enough to take actions and make decisions on their own they've got names like Claude and Devin

Neo is too good for this show. This man's expressions are so perfectly on point it almost hurts. I love him and he deserves the best shows.

see this is exactly what I'm talking about. this labour is so incredibly invisibilised that there are real human beings, walking about amongst us, leading normal lives, etc., who earnestly believe that machines can make an item of clothing from start to finish.

Hey just in case someone on here doesn’t quite understand how labor intensive making a garment is, here is a list of things that (to the best of my knowledge) cannot be done by machine alone, from a costumer/tailor in training

Cutting - in my opinion, the most labor intensive part of the process. The amount of time/effort needed varies depending on the pattern and if seam allowance is included or marked separately, but no matter what this process can not be done by machine. Each and every panel and piece of fabric that goes into a garment must be cut by hand by a person.

Pinning/clipping - pinning (or clipping) is the stage at which you align the pieces you are going to be stitching together and hold them together with — you guessed it! — either pins or clips. This can not be done by machine.

Stitching - the actual sewing. This can be done by a sewing machine, but that machine still needs to be operated by a human being.

Ironing/pressing - two words that mean the same thing. The iron itself is a machine, but once again, it needs to be operated by a human being.

Finishing - depending on the technique you use, there are certain finishing techniques that can only be done by hand. But, let’s assume we’re talking about fast fashion, which is usually just finished with a simple overlock/serger. Once again: these machines need to be operated by people.

These are just the basic steps to making a garment, and don’t include textile arts that I am not as knowledgeable about, such as weaving, knitting, and crochet. Also, it is important to note that there are a lot of things that can only be done by hand, such as certain stitches and decorative techniques.

Also, the machinery being operated in textile factories is not equivalent to a domestic sewing machine. We’re talking about one of these guys:

See that gray cylinder under the table, behind the knee pedal? That’s the motor. These machines can sew through your fingers bones and all and not even stop. The people in these factories and sweatshops are operating heavy machinery, and are subject to all the risk that comes with that in addition to all of the work I mentioned above.

Please respect textile workers and continue the fight to eliminate the use of sweatshops and exploited labor in the fashion industry!

dragon age should have had fishing minigames

[stonesense]

dragon age origins fishing minigame is a cute little one-time interaction with a fisherman at lake calenhad where if you have enough cunning u can catch some kind of fucked up lake monster which comes with a little codex entry elaborating on the rumours about lake calenhad & the circle tower

dragon age 2 fishing minigame is non-existent they just make a joke about how gross kirkwall harbour fish would be to cover up that they didn’t have time to make it. in the files there’s some crazy list of creatures you would have fished out of there and some cut codex entries you would have found with super relevant gallows lore that is now just not in the game and people discourse about whether it’s canon

dragon age inquisition fishing minigame was created when the devs took people's complaints about no fishing minigame in da2 way too seriously and battled with the game engine to make an extremely awkward, unrewarding, and time-consuming system available in like almost every map. people still do it because sitting there and fishing for half an hour is one of the only reliable ways to trigger party banter. some of the mosaics can only be found by fishing

dragon age the veilguard fishing minigame also never made it into the game, despite the fact that the concept art book has like a kind of bizarre amount of work on what all the fish would look like, because the mechanics were planned for when the home base was a submarine and then became unusable. some of the concept fish became in-game models which serve exclusively to provide jokes about cooking
