please help if you can

Hello, my name is Erica! I don’t really have many friends on here, but I don’t have anyone else to turn to so here I am. I am unfortunately 1k short on my tuition this semester. My dad is unemployed (has been for several years) and my mom is unfortunately not in the position (although she really never is, she doesn’t have any extra money to help me or else she would!) to loan me 1k. Most of my family lives paycheck to paycheck and they are not in the position to help me, and even if they were, they wouldn’t help. I tried contacting financial aid at my school as well as contacting FASFA directly but they said I am not eligible to take out more loans at this time. I don’t have a job because I’m a student full time (I had one two semesters ago but had to quit because my grades were suffering) so I don’t get approved for any credit cards (I tried applying for multiple). I’ve been applying for jobs again, but even by the time I get one, I won’t be able to make the money fast enough. Tuition is usually due within the first couple weeks of the semester, so I’m running out of time here. I know you don’t know me, so you probably don’t want to help me, but if anyone could donate anything at all, or perhaps reblog this post so others can see it, I would appreciate it so much. I feel very lousy having to ask for help but sometimes the smartest and best thing you can do is to ask for help even if it embarrasses you. Here is my paypal. Thank you for reading this post and thank you in advance for donating and spreading the word.

i haven’t gotten any donations yet and please every dollar counts. i’m so sorry for being so annoying but :(

[britt-snow]

Just keeping everyone updated with total transparency. I have received 40 dollars in donations this far and I never even expected that so thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me so far! I have a few weeks but anyway who donated and reblogged this thank you, it means so much to me that you’d help anyone, let alone a stranger!

Pokemon generated by neural network

I’ve been playing around with char-rnn, an open-source torch add-on for character-based neural networks by Andrej Karpathy, using it to generate everything from cookbook recipes to superhero names to a Lovecraft/cookbook mashup.

I decided to train the neural network to randomly generate Pokemon names and abilities based on this list as a training set - and found that it was good at generating Pokemon. Annoyingly good at it - by the time it had gone through the training set 50 times, it was already fluently plagiarizing Pokemon word for word. I had to go back to my very first snapshot of the neural network (16 times through the training set), at which point it hadn’t yet learned the entire set of names and abilities, and was still coming up with hilarious new ones.

Some sample Pokemon:

Quincelax Abilities: Sturdy, Secene Grace Hidden ability: Tunged Leus

Tortabool Ability: Healy Stream

Strangy Abilities: Wharmwbra, Darp Hidden ability: Magic Guard

Staroptor Ability: Stench Hidden Ability: Stick Hat

Stangute Ability: Banger Hidden Ability: Drang

Tyrnakine Ability: Beak Eye

Minma Abilities: Buttery armor, Shell Armor Hidden ability: Weak armor

Ronch Abilities: None

Mawuh Ability: Rum Power

Relationships get so bananas when you start deciphering the other person’s love language.

Like I thought I was just acquaintances with this person because they never told me details about themselves and we just talked movies and writing . But then they made time to have coffee with me and they showed up out of breath because they ran. Like. RAN to be on time for coffee with me?

And I was like “i don’t mind waiting” cause I never want to run

But they said they wanted every minute they could get because I’m so busy usually

Which is when it clicked that I didn’t get how much they considered me a friend because I just straight away didn’t see MY signs of affection in them and went “cool! Casual buds it is.” But now that I’m seeing their signs of affection, I feel a little silly for dismissing them like that even though I felt like we could be best bros.

Anyway, some people show affection through time or intensity or commitment and not vocally. I really have to remember that!

[madammuffins]

Fyi- just in case you didn’t know.

TOUCH got a bro that likes to give high fives? Back slaps? Are they a hugger? Do they not blink an eye at cuddles?

QUALITY TIME this bro will (as op stated) sprint to spend every minute possible with you. Every second that you guys are together is a declaration of affection.

WORDS does your bro tell you how amazing and great and fantastic and wonderful you are all the time? Guess what…?

GIFTS do they buy you coffee? Snacks, energy drinks, spot you at the restaurant? Did that one key chain removed you of them? Ding ding!

ACTS are they always doing things for you? Ie: Nah bro, I got this, I can do that, need me to get anything for you, I can help with…?

PRO TIP - The way people show love is often how they receive love as well.

Help my disabled mom leave my abusive dad

I don’t want to make this post. I’ve been putting it off because I thought that with time, the problem could go away on its own. It hasn’t.

My mom is a 53 year old woman with cauda equina syndrome. She was t-boned by a man running a red light and developed the condition in the 2000′s. Her Cauda Equina is a progressive and permanent condition which she will never recover from. She is losing the use of her legs and feeling in the lower half of her body, and she will someday be paralyzed. She falls down often and is too weak to stand on her own; she uses trekker poles to walk.

My father is an abusive alcoholic who beats my mom. He has been beating her since she was pregnant with me, at least. In the past year and a half, he was laid off and then fired from his career of 10 years, and started taking his rage out on my mom at night. These screenshots, from last week, were taken after the last time he beat her, which I hoped would be the last time. But last night, he beat my mom for refusing to have sex with him (she currently has a kidney/bladder infection and kidney stones, which got really bad before they were treated, because, again, she has little feeling in her lower body.) He has also raped her in the past while she was unconscious from her prescribed medications.

I don’t know where to turn. My mom needs to get as far away from my dad as she can. She doesn’t want to go to the police because he will retaliate. She has no money and few places to go. I think that if I could get her some money and send her down to Idaho to live with one of her (few remaining) friends she might be able to have a better life.

I don’t know how much I should be aiming for here. My mom needs transportation from Montana to Idaho, she needs money to survive down there, and she’s going to need money to buy a wheelchair.

I’ve tried making posts like this before to gather donations and get her out of my dad’s house, but the posts didn’t generate any money. If she had money, she could get away from him.

I’m scared for my mom right now. She’s not allowed to leave the house unless she’s coming to see me, she’s not allowed to have friends, she’s barely allowed to use facebook to communicate with family members. My dad has cut her off from everyone who cares about her. She’s a frail tiny woman and I’m afraid of what’s going to happen to her if she stays in my dad’s house any further. He punches her, throws her around, and is generally very physically abusive.

I’m afraid to make a youcaring/gofundme and risk my dad seeing it. If he knew what I was trying to do for my mom, I don’t know what he would do to her or me. Please just reblog this and if you can, donate to my paypal. I’m going to save the money for my mom until I can convince her to leave. I’m also selling my possessions to save funds for her as well.
