Jesus Tapdancing Christ... THIS is a good welt pocket and the people who designed Simplicity 2895 ought to be blasted well ASHAMED of themselves for the crap way THEY wanted a welt pocket made. *SNARLS*

[makereadgrow]

This is how I learned to do it and a good example of what you want to see in a short form tutorial: pinning, pressing, seam finishing, good fabric handling.

I would mention that you can make the pocket facing with a small panel of your matching fabric that is visible and the rest in a lighter fabric to reduce bulk. That's a lot of denim layers for comfort.

Ugh, it was in mine. It's off now.

I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

god 50 years ago you really could go see a trashy b-movie and it still had gorgeous cinematography, lighting and set design, fun costumes and makeup, and now a hollywood production could have 80 million dollars thrown at it only for it to look like a drawn-out tv commercial for laundry detergent

If I had a nickel for every big name Harry Potter fanfic writer who started their own cult, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[lookingforsarahjay]

Oh man, are we talking about Snape wives?? I because every time I remember them I just have to stare off into the distance for a while.

[crunchbuttsteak]

I’d have three nickels.

[merry-kuroo]

What is a Snape Wife? Someone fill me in on all these Harry Potter cults 😂

[iamthecraftmaster]

Snape wives (or as they called themselves, Snapeists) were an online cult made mostly of middle-aged women who believed the following

Severus Snape is an omniscient, unkillable entity residing on the astral plane.

Snape is the one true god.

Snape possessed JKR to write the Harry Potter books, but she got several things wrong; most importantly Snape dying.

The spirit of Snape abandoned JKR because she wasn’t good enough for him and created the Snapists instead.

Snape chose several Snapists that have a special connection with him to lead his religion.

Snapists can serve Snape by marrying him and becoming sister-wives (there was lots of debate on if they could have boyfriends/husbands other than Snape in the real world).

Snape contacts his followers who are worthy, both in dreams and by possessing real life people.

To be worthy of Snape, you need to be… basically a tradwife. Obey Snape in all things, never question him, don’t be independent, be pretty, be thin, only have feminine hobbies, etc.

The snapewives wrote a crazy amount of fanfiction about Snape, both erotic and otherwise. Plus they had their own prayers, ceremonies, shrines… shit was wild. The whole religion fell apart when one of the leaders criticized Snape and was subsequently bullied out of the community and another decided that the one true god was actually Jethro Gibbs from NCIS.

when the second half of that last sentence hits you like a brick in the face

[raisedbylibrarians]

Wait, what were the other two HP cults?

And I remember the era of Snape’s on an Astral Plane.

I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3,000 years ago…

[raisedbylibrarians]

Thank you, and also, now that I have googled these, I’m pretty sure there was a reason I forgot all of this.

[gothkrispies]

I wish I could go back to five minutes ago when I didn’t know that Snapewives existed

[porcupine-girl]

Wait wait I did not know that Methods of Rationality had a cult.

I mean I’m also not surprised, having read like a dozen chapters of it and then bailed because it was too self-righteous and condescending.

Fear stalked her childhood. It persisted into puberty. She had fought it, never asking for help. Who would understand the help she required? Not her mother who could never drive away the specter of Bene Gesserit judgment: the pre-born were Abomination.

I sat on my own with my dog last night and watched My Best Friend’s Wedding – it’s one of my favorite films of all time. Notting Hill, Love Actually, When Harry Met Sally… When a romantic comedy is done well there’s nothing that beats it.
