My brother's beloved pullover got eaten by moths, so I was allowed to use it to practice my darning. A lot of learning as I went, and you can sort of see which holes I started with and my skill slowly improving. Tried out different colour combinations and anchorings and all in all, very pleased with the results.

once i beat the depression and the burnout and the anxiety and the loneliness and the exhaustion and the guilt and the awkwardness and the apathy and the low income and the chronic illness and the impatience and the vulnerability and the creative block and the capitalism and the cruelty THEN you'll see

I didn't think that it would be more wild, but it is. Terrifying.

Oh yes. The graveyard is quarantined.

Longyearbyen has some other nice laws, such as it being illegal to lock the doors of houses and cars (so that people can escape polar bears), or it being illegal to leave the town without firearms (so that people can defend themselves from polar bears.)

Is a pretty cool place.

britcision

So it’s not illegal to die there they just firmly prefer you try not to

mooncustafer

Sounds like you are also legally obligated to try to not die from the polar bears

There was a paper in 2016 exploring how an ML model was differentiating between wolves and dogs with a really high accuracy, they found that for whatever reason the model seemed to *really* like looking at snow in images, as in thats what it pays attention to most.

Then it hit them. *oh.*

*all the images of wolves in our dataset has snow in the background*

*this little shit figured it was easier to just learn how to detect snow than to actually learn the difference between huskies and wolves. because snow = wolf*

Shit like this happens *so often*. People think trainning models is like this exact coding programmer hackerman thing when its more like, coralling a bunch of sentient crabs that can do calculus but like at the end of the day theyre still fucking crabs.

gaphic

and also they're not remotely sentient, can't do calculus, and they're not doing what's 'easier.' the algorithm doesn't, and inherently cannot, know what a 'wolf' is. it never knew that it was supposed to be differentiating dogs from wolves. it's not possible for these programs to ever know what they're differentiating, so this doesn't just happen often, it happens 100% of the time. it's just a matter of whether the program is under enough scrutiny for the incongruity to be noticed

gaphic

adding these tags bc damn this person put it so much better than i did! this applies to literally all of these models- you can replace the words 'wolf' and 'white' with whatever you like and it's still 100% accurate

I think it’s really important to talk about how different people have different power fantasies.

For example:

For some people, the idea of someone redeeming a villain is a power fantasy.

For other people, the idea of a villain being defeated is a power fantasy.

And for other people, the idea of a character owning their villainy is a power fantasy.

I would argue a lot of fandom conflicts re: villains come from people being unable to see that their fantasies, which put them in control of a narrative (and all three of these are designed to give the author or reader control of the narrative in different ways) are someone else’s horror stories.

aerialsquid

….this explains SO MUCH.

wisteria-lodge

This breakdown works equally well for the Problematic Love Interest.

Saving/Fixing the Problematic Love Interest is absolutely a power fantasy.

So is kicking them to the curb and saying that they are wrong, they were always wrong, and are not your responsibility.

And allowing the Problematic Love Interest to stay messy and flawed (but worthy of love anyway) is a power fantasy too.

It is much easier for the indoctrinated rubes to believe in a conspiracy superweapon than trust climate science.

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.

Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.

And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.
