2023.06.06 07:54 brotherwarren Newbie question...twisted stave?

Newbie question...twisted stave?
Hi, I cut a couple of hazel staves. Splitting the first with a hatchet revealed it was twisted horribly.
I've debarked the second stave and the cambium layer appears to show the same. Does twisted cambium mean twisted wood, or do you need to split the stave to find out?
I've traced a few lines in red to highlight the cambium twist
Thanks for any advice!

2023.06.06 07:54 Industria77 my plea to Potus

Dear Mr. President Biden,

My birth name is Jason D. Sgroi. I am Intersex, Not Gay, Not Trans.
I Believe myself to have a rare condition called C.A.H.-X associated with Ehlors Danlos.
I am not sure, I have been tested for some things, against proper protocol.
I used to be involved with many technological endeavors, I am an Inventor, too.
I also had a family, That i depended on, but the social stigma, gaslighting, and my attitude (scientifically proven to be associated with this disease), crushed that, after 9 years of this.
I have no recourse. I have called everyone I can. Sent Emails to many, And texted crisis lines, to absolutely no avail.
I am severely hindered by Stress, Weakened by this condition, and any interaction in person leaves me traumatized, shaking violently, and unable to breathe or think, much less speak coherently.
I am very different physically, too. no one believes me, no one will look. No one will even talk to me. Just a runaround.

My address is 908 E 4th. st. Bicknell, In. 47512 - I understand the risk, but i am already going to die from neglect, so its moot.
i have a home, i own with my x, who was a narcissist and i was unaware of what that was until a few days ago, my step mother was as well. i have been raped, repeatedly, and abused by those who should have helped me my whole life. I have no money, accounts, or tangible assets, i am attempting to sell tools, but no one will stop, i am an outcast.
i have no money, no transportation, no insurance card, and expired id because for the last five years i have been to shell-shocked and traumatized to leave my house, after going to the emergency room, in the next town, we don't have one here. they cut me off, at the time i thought i had a fistula, they assumed this before i could say anything, and i agreed, they then laughed at me, and in shock, i don't exactly remember the rest of the ridicule, but they bought me a cab, and said if i didn't leave, implied use of legal force. i am so ...what do i do? i have continued to deteriorate, my extremities are extremely sore, and damaged, from ehlors danlos. my cah has crippled my adrenal system. i have fathered children, so i am actually intersex, not just virilized, as i thought when i saw them in the past, and i am to traumatized to re-approach anyone without help, which i had, in the form of an advocate, who broke my hymen in 2014, married me , then gaslighted me due to the i assume jealousy, i have no idea. i need help that will help, not hurt me more, although, that pit cant get a whole lot deeper. i love my life, have animals, a home, a shop, all rebuilt and modified by me, or in the process, and i just cant keep up like this, im almost dead, and every day, im posting, under this name and everywhere, showing how i am having yard sales no one stops for, how i am building solar energy cells, power armor, and other technology, out of trash. i grew up on the street, failed by cps in an abusive home, and then, i had to work to fit in where i didnt, all the while, trying to cope with this easily treatable crippling disorder. please, i have worked so hard, to get here, why wont any one else do the job they are paid for, where do all these resources set aside for intersex people go, how is the focus on intersex children when i was one , on the street, getting raped for food, and abused everywhere, constantly socially ostracized, and abandoned everywhere because i was too strange, but the condition is known about? how does this make sense. please, help me. don't just talk lies about it, i am intersex, i haven't ever been helped, just hurt further, and made to drop my self into the pits of sexual depravity to try and survive, and even there, everyone looks, but no one will acknowledge me.
i have no money, i am trying. I don't know where to turn, or what to do.
if you, or any American, or other people are compassionate enough to help me, anything to stave off this impending financial doom that will cut me off from even this outlet....please, help me. i cant even sit on a curb. my temperature is so hard to regulate, im hot, cold, hot, cold. all day. i have so many personal issues that i couldn't address in public because my body is so different .
i am so terrified.
i am so alone.
i am human, too.
i am very traumatized, and broken.
there is so much money for LGBTQ but i get no help, so I refuse to include the I.
Please, someone reach out to me, before its too late. my plea is to all of humanity.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I have several websites to corroborate this, i make no money, i just want help. nikki tripps on quora, where i have had opportunity to answer questions in regard to my condition in general, as people are interested in what i am, just not me. also, nikki moore on fb. inactive atm. industria77 on fetlife, also inactive atm. psinapse at fetlife, currently active for as long as my phone is, like days though.
look up Nikki TriPps Industrial Concept & Design to see my fight play out over the last ten years, i documented as much as i was able. my current facebook, where i guess you can transfer money, i don't know, its the only idea i have to keep my phone, water, and lights on, is Galixna Ah-Ahh .
Please, Help, although i know someone will probably flag this, and then preach about human rights in the same breath. this whole situation seems to be specifically calculated, and an alarming disregard for human life. Will you let this injustice stand?

2023.06.06 07:54 workshop_prompts LIFECHANGING Success story: Birth control for a trans man w PMDD

Background: So, for context, I'm a 35yo trans man. I've had PMDD (or maybe PME? But most of the time I'm going from chipper to suicidal, so we'll call it PMDD) symptoms basically my whole life, but I grew up when feminists were saying "PMS isn't real", so it took a long time to see it was cyclical. Also, yanno, not wanting to think about that stuff cuz dysphoria. Really clear cut case for me tho - I get all the symptoms, 2-4 days before my period starts, and they go away p much instantly. Usually it's 2-3 days of hell.
Anyhow, I had a consult with an OBGYN for a hysterectomy (uterus only). I thought I could at least stop the bleeding, and honestly... I didn't really realize how fucked my "PMS" was. Anyway, we talked. She was totally willing to do it, but was like "if you want, you could try birth control first". I had never been on bc before cuz I had never had reason to, lmao. Also I was really scared of side effects.
I was freaked out, but I was SO desperate to stop having periods immediately, I tried it. She prescribed the Annovera ring, which is EE and segesterone. The normal instructions are to wear for 21 days or whatever then remove, wash, and put back in. I just pop it out to wash every month or so, but wear continuously. It lasts a year, and doesn't need to be refrigerated.
Results: First week I was very slightly queasy, but I'm prone to that anyway. After that it's been kind of the best thing ever. No periods, no side effects from what I can tell, NO PMDD! Coming up on a full year next month and I'm already messaging my doctor to restock.
I don't have to remember to take a pill every day. don't think about my period. I don't have PMDD moodswings. I don't even fucking notice the ring in my coochie lmao. You can have sex with it in, tho I've only tried with dildos, so idk if it's weird for the penetrative partner. Works for me tho. Also great to not have to treat my bf's cum like radioactive waste due to my pregnancy phobia.

I cannot express how much this has improved my quality of life. I no longer want a hysterectomy. For various reasons, I don't want to remove my ovaries, and I realized that if I had ovaries but no uterus, I would STILL be having PMDD, but would have no idea when anything actually was, cuz no blood.

To have killed four birds with one stone (periods, pregnancy phobia, PMDD, and gender dysphoria related to all four) is cool enough, but also, it's helped my transition. My PMDD symptoms would make me feel like there was no point in transitioning, like I could just suffer until I die. When I'm normal and happy, OBVIOUSLY I realize this is false. But when the world is transphobic, those 2-3 days of doubt every month ring louder than the 28 days of "I NEED to do this" when I'm actually sane.

Anyhow, I know I sound like a fucking shill for Annovera, but I stg. It p much has all the advantages of an IUD, with none of the downsides.

Also this is just a post to give a positive story about BC for those anxious about trying. I feel like BC suffers a lot cuz people generally only talk about their bc online if they had a TERRIBLE experience. So, here's a positive one. :)

2023.06.06 07:53 PinkPengin [Thank You] Very, very behind

These are not in any particular order - some may have come a few weeks ago, some today.
But I do have good news: I did NOT work on cards at all this weekend, because I spent Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday all doing amazing fun things with my wife as we kicked off our celebration of Pride month. For those who don't know, we currently have two houses, in two different states, one where she mostly lives (in the U.S. Pacific Northwest) and one where I mostly live (in the U.S. Southwest, known as the Cactus Cathouse). We are gearing up to sell our northern outpost house and live together in the Cactus Cathouse, and this was sort of our "last hurrah" weekend before showings and whatnot really get started.
But now, I'm trying to get cardthings caught up so that I'm not trying to deal with them during the eventual relocation, starting with these thanks and hopefully progressing on to a request and an offer tomorrow as time permits.
Also, someone in this (long) list sent me a lovely, large rainbow snail vinyl sticker, but I couldn't tell whose mail it came from. (Maybe u/amyt13?) Anyway, whoever you are, I appreciate you immensely and I'm sorry for not organizing myself better.
Thanks to:
(First of all, thanks to the flair team, because yikes this is the worst and I'm very sorry!)
u/amabisca - This handmade purple card (my favorite color!) is amazing and was such an uplifting surprise. Thank you so, so much!
u/amyt13 (x2) - Thank you for the beautiful handmade collage card, the Oscar Wilde card, and all the extras! I hope you are able to find a good place to call home too - the one you were describing sounds like my kind of town, and I hope it works out. I'll cross my fingers for you!
u/AppleCritter723 - This cute botanical card/letter I an opening from you is dated in April. APRIL, friend. I am sorry. It is full of good news and cute stickers and I swear I will write actual mail and not just send weird envelopes of things to you and your "bigger little" soon. I hope your Memorial Day weekend travels weren't too bad, and that Gandalf the adventurer is letting you occasionally stay inside. You created a meow-monster!
u/awachob - Goose!! I can't believe I got to be the goose! Thank you so much for a fun offer. (And for the neat stickers!)
u/blue-wanderer-quartz - I am very late saying thanks for the Five of Pentacles cat tarot sticker reading, but it was incredibly appropriate to read about pooling resources as my wife and I re-combine households in part due to love but in large part due to, well, wanting to actually have disposable income! I think it's interesting that we both chose pentacles for each other! (And the cat postcard your reading is on is very cute, I don't want to forget that!)
u/bluedecemberart (x2) - I love the vintage VA hospital postcard from Maine... and we already chatted about the "not noticing the chores" thing but rereading the card as I went to post this made me sure again that we are somehow the same person. WEIRD, but COOL. And your New York skyline postcard is lovely, and now I want to watch A Crown of Candy!
u/championvilla - I adore this MarioKart card! My wife and I used to play a lot (right now, we have the game systems packed for house-showing). I hope that your husband is continuing to feel better (and that the cat finally decided to get off of him, lol!)
u/chiquita61 - The sloth mermaid dolphin thank-you card with penguin stickers is absolutely wonderful... and I am so happy you liked my "reject" sticker card in all its glory!
u/comingtogetyoubabs (x6) - This crystal ball card with Petit's ABSOLUTE WISDOM is just amazing, friend. (Also, did I get a little teary at "writer of hugs in card form" MAYBE). And the amazing goodies you included - the cat-yang patch, your beautiful handmade notepaper... there is no way I deserve the awesomeness that is you "buzzing" into my life. And then the second cat card and all the goodies, including the adorable bookmark...! And THEN I realized you had hand-drawn me three tarot cards that you wrote about, AND then I found your origami letter... I am in awe, friend. You are wonderful!
u/cswl (x10) - This is what I get for not keeping up with my thanks, I feel silly with how behind I am for you, my dear friend! (Both in thanking AND in writing back.) Thank you for the cute plant notecard (I do not do Informed Delivery because it will just make me sad, I think); the red fox postcard (did you go to Fogo, which is one of my favorite places ever??); the "sources of acid" postcard (I always feel better when I have time for myself too, and also always delay it too long); the absolutely delicious LouPaper charcuterie board postcard (I have both too many cards and somehow never the ones I really feel like I wish I had to send people); the postcard from The Lion King (yay garage sale days!); the Strange Planet vibrating cat postcard (so outnumbered, I have given up, they are in charge now); the two different New Yorker cartoon cards (you are 100% right - hard times are harder on the one holding down the fort in SO many ways, been there/done that, and also guilt trips suck and I'm sorry the person tried to send you on one); the cute bird saying hi card (the one-house thing was her idea first, and it will definitely be for the best, though I need to make sure I keep focusing on me too!); and especially thanks for "Content Lives Everywhere" collage you made - that is just wonderful. You are so great. I am sorry I'm such a bad postal pal but I'm trying to do better!
u/dazeyferry (x2) - My dear friend, this penguin with flowers card is AMAZING and I am so, so grateful that you thought of me when you saw it. And the little floral thank-you card addition was perfect as well. I love you and I am so glad we are friends! As far as bingeworthy shows - have you seen Ted Lasso? Schmigadoon? (Both on AppleTV.) Those are amazing. We also started watching Hello, Tomorrow, which is a bit sad sometimes but really good! I'll try to think of some more, too.
u/draconic_healing - I love this little tiny Polaroid-style postcard - it's adorable! Please pet the kitty for me - I couldn't tell if you wrote "Bear" or "Bean" but both are great names!
u/dwrfstr - This gold penguin card is amazing and adorable and I cannot believe your luck to find it thrifted! I picked up a set of hundreds of vintage postcards from an art reuse store that's near where we met up, and I ended up with, like, 16 of the same weird chapel at a church camp in South Dakota, so you definitely win...
u/fancayschmanzayyy - Your cat thank-you card was wonderful (as were the cool stickers!) And most of all, I very much appreciate you telling me about your act of kindness and I especially appreciate your caregiving nature. I cared for my mom for many years before she passed away and stories like the one you told will always be especially important to me. You make a difference and I am so grateful you exist!
u/Fancykiddens (x2) - I feel terribly, terribly guilty for how late I am thanking you for this amazing CARD-CEPTION package!! First, from the pengin section: the pengin family you drew me, how awesome are they?! You are so talented! I almost never keep envelopes but this one got immediately saved with my "penguin stash." Then there was your beautiful handmade Frida Kahlo card - exactly my vibe, I love it! The penguin goodie bag with the penguins and their fish snackles inside was adorable too. And then, moving to the "monsteroo" or cute monster section, I adored your Monsters Inc. letter and goodies as well! I especially liked hearing that, at the time you wrote it, you were feeling particularly well and accomplished, and I adored hearing how much carding has helped your outlook. SAME, FRIEND. So much so!!
u/feellikebeingajerk (x2) - Holly Hobbie card (the first, maybe?) has arrived! And yes, it brought back awesome memories. I didn't get a lot of "trendy" things growing up, as my parents and I didn't have a lot of money, but there was a discount department store near us, sort of an early version of a T.J. Maxx or Ross that was called Hills, and it would sometimes get slight misprints or seconds of things like bedding, which is, I am -positive-, how I came to be able to have Holly Hobbie. And I don't remember anything "wrong" with it, so, way to go, Mom of PinkPengin, for that find! LOL. Also, thanks for the cool Papyrus thank-you card from your random offer, and for the stickers!
u/fieldofcabins - This adorable bee thank-you postcard is so great (and the penguin as the stamp image, ahhh!) I am glad your dad is healing and please let him know I'm still thinking of him. (And of course I'm always thinking of you, too!)
u/GizmoDOS - Thanks for the solar system postcard, friend! I loved hearing from you. Life really has been hectic lately. I hope yours is moving in the direction of settling down. Mine is going to be rough briefly but then hopefully a lot smoother!
u/hermitcreature - I love this Studio Ghibli-themed card and all the great stickers and dragon facts from your book (and the amazing Zimbabwean owl stamp)! I hope you will like your card from me in exchange when it arrives - I just sent it this week, I am very sorry!
u/HexagonalRainbow - I loved your anime postcard but even more, I loved hearing about your concert!
u/isar-love (x2) - These cartoon owls with their hats and shoes on your card from March are AMAZING! (And the accompanying postcard with more behatted owls also made my day!) I agree with you very much that owl facial expressions are the thing that especially warms my heart to them. They seem so intelligent and curious and often kind (especially in illustrations) with their big eyes looking right at me! I have several little stuffed-animal friend owls, including two very special ones named Swoops (who is tan) and Fwoops (who is pink, though his name reference is from fuschia - he is a "Fuschia Swoops" - way better than a Pink Swoops, who I fear would have to be "Poops," LOL!) Thank you so much for your wonderful kindness and friendship and fun mail!
u/jaimekj - Thank you for the floral card, great stickers and most importantly your note and your friendship! I do like New Mexico (more than my part of the Southwest, honestly, but we had family reasons we picked where we did)! I'm crossing my fingers about an interest-rate drop. If I had my choice, I'd either like to find someone bigger in Washington, or move back to Pennsylvania, I think. There are ups and downs to both. And I will VERY much hate going back to snow, that's one thing I do love about where I am in the desert!
u/jvanct88 - I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to have a letter from you with an update (and updated address), dear friend! In one way, I am VERY sorry for all the things you have been finding out, but in another way I am happy that you finally know the truth and I believe that knowing it will be very helpful in having closure and a good feeling as you move to a new chapter in your life. And I am VERY hopeful that your tattoo came out amazing! I am a big, big fan of tattoos and piercings. A funny story is that I got 2 new tattoos and several piercings when my wife and I were separated, including a nosering, which she always said she hated. (She didn't mind other tattoos and piercings generally.) When we got back together, she apologized for ever saying that, and said how good it looks on me. That was nice, but I very plainly also told her, "I wouldn't care even if you hate it, because I love it and I'm keeping it forever." LOL! Anyway, I love this dinosaur princess cactus card and I am very happy to hear from you and will write to you again soon!
u/KatDuq (x3) - My dear friend!! This butterfly card you made to thank me for MY card in honor of your new letter opener is beautiful (as are the included penguin stickers, which are beautiful, of course!) I also loved your separate letter talking about the things you make. I do journal, sometimes, but I suffer from the problem of all notebook and journal-havers... I hate to USE the beautiful books I have lest I "mess them up!" What really helped me get out of that mindset somewhat was actually the Happy Planner notebooks, because I felt like I could always remove pages and rearrange! And now I am getting into bookbinding and I feel like that helps too because I can more easily make things "modular" and not have the fear of ruining a whole gigantic book right off the bat. I know that's perfectionism talking and I am working on getting rid of that mindset altogether, but for now, baby steps. And HUGE congrats on what you've sold, you definitely have a customer in me if you get an online store set up! Finally, thank you for the lovely oracle reading, which (unsurprisingly) was just what I needed to hear now, tonight, as I write this! I specifically didn't look closely at it until now because I figured I'd see it when the time was right and... yup. I did. You are amazing and I appreciate you sharing your beautiful new deck with me. (And that logo stamp you got! SO worth it, it looks amazing!)
u/littlemermaidxx - Your Pride Is Everyday postcard is beautiful - thank you so much! I have Pride happy mail coming your way too.
u/maiiiu (x3) - WOW, you are way too kind to me!! What an adorable thank-you postcard, first of all. And I adored your wonderful handmade penguin collage thank-you card too, and loved hearing the good news about your summer trip plans. I hope it is a truly special time for you and your dear best friend! And then this custom penguin stationery... WOW. You are just amazing and I am very grateful! (Also, the way you attached your sticker gifts in your collage card was great, I might steal that method.)
u/melhen16 - Where did you find this amazing desert-post-office-style card? Did you make it? It's amazing! (And thank you for the beautiful stickers, too!)
u/mumbagoespainting (x3) - Your handmade hometown card is so beautiful, my friend! I loved hearing how you learned to say it. (I admit - I get that one wrong on the first try and have to correct myself every time, despite being from not terribly far south, where we heard it more than occasionally!) And your watercolor dragon is absolutely fabulous!! I loved hearing that we have very similar color tastes - purples, grays, teal! Seeing the dragon pick up those colors was perfect. Finally, your black-and-white abstract card with the glitter made me smile, though I was sad to read about why you had to miss the trip... I hope you are feeling better! And, of course, thank you again for all your stickers and other extras and most importantly for your kindness and friendship. I am beyond grateful for you!!
u/ninajyang - I like the crafty postcard from Pipsticks! And yeah... Hairspray... love the music, definitely not sure about some other things... sigh.
u/nirelleth - I absolutely adore this great penguin and fox postcard for our "wish" exchange! I hope you like yours when it arrives, too. (I just sent it last week, I am so sorry for the wait!) I think my favorite fact about penguins is that they are not all polar; in fact, some of my favorites are temperate ones. (I say, in fact, that I myself am a "temperate pengin!")
u/non_avian (x3) - I am VERY sorry this has taken me so long to write (and even to open and fully enjoy). Your handmade Scoffby postcard with my past-present-future reading was absolutely amazing and is going on my "display shelf" of some of my most treasured cards! I need to know how you made his crystal ball, which is gorgeous! Also, please tell Scoffby that I am very much food-motivated (in fact, I just bribed myself tonight with hibachi). So, his signature chant is VERY well-placed when directed at me. I also adored your letter and the cute paper it was written on, and I am thrilled about the Furby washi card and all the goodies, too! I had no idea that Furby washi even existed, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised... and the capy noodles sticker and adorable penguins and everything else... I am so grateful. I have some mail coming your way very soon; all the "parts" are ready, I just need to put them together and actually get it sent!
u/Peonynote (x2) - Your cat thank-you card was adorable and most importantly, I am so excited for all your travels (and I LOVED seeing your penguin friends together!) And the lovely rainbow card with penguin stickers and super-cute penguin sticky note, in honor of Pride Month, made my day! I hope your walking is going well, still, now that it's getting warmer and stickier.
u/ResidentComposer1939 - I loved your sweet bird notecard and your penguin drawing (it's WAY better than my drawings, let me tell you!)
u/SherlockLady (x3) - Your beautiful butterfly card was lovely as it was, and then I saw the cute mini-card with the reminder about being the happiest/healthiest version of myself, AND the special penguin painting from your young carding apprentice... and wow, I just felt so special! What an awesome gift.
u/soft_distortion - This Gender Is Such a Drag postcard is perfecttttttttt. I loved hearing about the drag brunches too!
u/thecalendonianrose - This square penguin card is amazing and I am so grateful that you thought of sending it to me! (And all the stickers are lovely, thank you!) My wife and allllll the kitties say hello back.
u/TigerLady13 - This is definitely a late thanks, I apologize! But I appreciated the vintage Continental Divide postcard and the "Peng-Win" pun... made me giggle!
u/TyeDyeAmish - I love this pufferfish card, and I have really enjoyed getting to chat with you recently! Most importantly, how was the book sale?! I'm fairly certain it's one I've been to in the past, based on the date you said you were going, and I miss it and a few others in the area so much!
u/umeshufan - Why, yes, this Cat Island postcard DOES look like my house, and yes, there are really 19 inside, and even funnier, YES, I am allergic to cats. The thing is, you do build up a tolerance to ones you are around regularly, but when I travel and then come back, it is truly a nightmare. Thankfully I almost never let any in my bedroom and never to sleep, so I can at least breathe overnight!
u/wabisabi_sf (x2) - My friend, I am in awe of these amazing pink-and-penguin-themed pieces of happy mail!! I had never seen these before and I am DEFINITELY going to be getting more. You are so wonderful to me!
u/welshfancy (x5) - Thanks for the Laughlin postcard (very belatedly)! Your trip to Long Beach sounds almost as multi-stop as my recent cards' journeys to you, though thankfully you didn't need your passport, at least?! And thank you also for the amazing handmade "blooms" collage card (which, as far as I'm concerned, is appropriate for spring OR summer, so it seems perfectly timed to me); the great cat mini-card that you wrote while either eating breakfast or getting your tires changed on your travels; the penguin-with-J-based-life-preserver doodle (which I thought was GREAT, so don't even say it's worse than your others, which I also liked!); and your lovely letter on penguin paper, plus of course the bonus stationery! You spoil me!! I'm thinking of you as you try to decide "what's next" locationally, too.
u/yetanotherblankface - I think your beautiful handmade card for the "Hometown" meta challenge is giving exactly the right vibes! It certainly made me feel cozy and relaxed, which is the feeling I'd most like to associate with home.
u/yviantics - Your hand-drawn Pink Party Penguin postcard with its lovely hat, and the great penguin sticker, absolutely made my day!! I do not draw well at all and I am always amazed when people who can will share their talent with me. Thank you so, so much! (And, by the way, I tried the bananas-and-barbecue-chips combo and was really surprised at how good it was, so thanks for that, too!)
u/56thorns and u/UseYourRuler - Thank you for the wonderful postcard from the "Falls!" My wife and I were there to ring in the New Year for 2019 and I've been a couple other times too. Such a lovely place for a getaway, and it sounds like you had fun!
u/todayisfab, u/sebisrude and u/KeenEvergreen - In my stack of not-thanked-yet mail I found my very own postcard from our meetup, and it made me smile all over again. Thank you all so much, again, for a fun day. And to whichever of you put penguin stickers on this along with the cacti - I am super impressed that you pulled that off without me noticing, they are WAY too cute.

2023.06.06 07:53 Important-Drop-5766 Data Science in Healthcare Industry Functions


The healthcare industry is undergoing a significant transformation, with data science emerging as a powerful tool in driving advancements and improving patient outcomes. Data science leverages the vast amount of health-related data to extract valuable insights, predict outcomes, and support decision-making processes. In this article, we will explore the various functions of Data science in the healthcare industry and its impact on patient care.

Introduction

Data science, a multidisciplinary field that combines statistics, mathematics, computer science, and domain expertise, has gained immense prominence in recent years. It involves the extraction, analysis, and interpretation of large volumes of data to uncover patterns, trends, and correlations. In the healthcare industry, data science has become integral to transforming the way healthcare professionals deliver services, make diagnoses, and manage patient care.

Importance of Data Science in Healthcare

The healthcare industry generates an enormous amount of data, ranging from electronic health records (EHRs) and medical imaging to patient-generated data from wearables and health apps. Traditional methods of data analysis are insufficient to fully leverage this vast information and derive meaningful insights. Here, data science steps in, offering advanced techniques and algorithms to process and analyze this data efficiently.

Role of Data Science in Healthcare Functions

1. Data Collection and Management

Data science plays a crucial role in the collection, aggregation, and management of healthcare data. By implementing data engineering techniques, healthcare organizations can efficiently store and process large datasets, ensuring data integrity and accessibility for analysis. This function enables healthcare professionals to make informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date information.

2. Predictive Analytics

Predictive analytics, a subset of data science, uses historical data and machine learning algorithms to forecast future outcomes. In the healthcare industry, predictive analytics can be utilized to identify individuals at high risk of developing certain diseases, allowing for proactive interventions and personalized preventive care. Additionally, it aids in predicting disease progression and treatment response, leading to optimized treatment plans.

3. Disease Diagnosis and Treatment

Data science has the potential to revolutionize disease diagnosis and treatment by combining patient data, genetic information, and medical knowledge. Machine learning models can analyze complex patterns in medical imaging, such as MRI and CT scans, to aid in the early detection of diseases like cancer. These models can also assist healthcare professionals in recommending the most effective treatment strategies based on a patient's unique characteristics.

4. Patient Monitoring and Care

With the proliferation of wearable devices and remote patient monitoring systems, vast amounts of patient-generated data are being collected continuously. Data science enables the analysis of this real-time data, facilitating remote patient monitoring, early detection of anomalies, and timely intervention. By leveraging data-driven insights, healthcare providers can improve patient care, reduce hospital readmissions, and enhance overall patient outcomes.

5. Drug Discovery and Development

The process of discovering and developing new drugs is complex, time-consuming, and costly. Data science accelerates this process by leveraging computational models, artificial intelligence, and large-scale data analysis. It aids in identifying potential drug candidates, simulating drug interactions, and optimizing clinical trial designs, leading to more efficient and targeted drug development.

6. Health Insurance and Fraud Detection

Data science plays a vital role in the health insurance sector by enabling accurate risk assessment, fraud detection, and cost containment. Advanced-Data analytics course models can analyze large claims datasets, identify suspicious patterns, and flag potential fraudulent activities. This not only protects insurance providers from financial losses but also helps maintain fair and affordable premiums for policyholders.

7. Public Health Management

Data science empowers public health officials to monitor population health trends, track disease outbreaks, and implement effective interventions. By analyzing various data sources, including social media, electronic health records, and environmental data, public health organizations can respond swiftly to emerging health threats, allocate resources efficiently, and improve overall community health.

Challenges and Ethical Considerations

While data science brings numerous benefits to the healthcare industry, it also presents several challenges and ethical considerations. These include data privacy and security, ensuring unbiased algorithms, maintaining patient trust, and addressing potential biases in data collection and analysis. Healthcare organizations must prioritize ethical practices and adhere to stringent data protection regulations to foster trust and transparency.

Conclusion

Master's Program has become an indispensable tool in the healthcare industry, revolutionizing the way healthcare professionals collect, analyze, and utilize data. Its functions extend across various domains, including data collection, predictive analytics, disease diagnosis and treatment, patient monitoring, drug discovery, health insurance, and public health management. By harnessing the power of data science, the healthcare industry can improve patient outcomes, enhance operational efficiency, and drive significant advancements in healthcare delivery.

Need help understanding output metrics of detectron2.
I have 1591images in my training set and 214 images in my validation test. After training my model I am getting the following metrics
training

validation

result
This is my configuration as of now
cfg = get_cfg()
cfg.merge_from_file(model_zoo.get_config_file("COCO-Detection/faster_rcnn_X_101_32x8d_FPN_3x.yaml"))
cfg.MODEL.WEIGHTS = model_zoo.get_checkpoint_url("COCO-Detection/faster_rcnn_X_101_32x8d_FPN_3x.yaml")
cfg.DATASETS.TRAIN = (TRAIN_DATASET_NAME, )
cfg.DATASETS.TEST = (VAL_DATASET_NAME, )
cfg.DATALOADER.NUM_WORKERS = 2
cfg.SOLVER.IMS_PER_BATCH = 2
cfg.SOLVER.BASE_LR = 0.00025
cfg.SOLVER.STEPS = []
cfg.SOLVER.MAX_ITER = 300
cfg.MODEL.ROI_HEADS.BATCH_SIZE_PER_IMAGE = 128
cfg.MODEL.ROI_HEADS.NUM_CLASSES = 1 # number of classes
As I have only one class, so AP will be mAP and this is something I should improve. I tried making changes in the configs and I was able to get AP as 70% and AP50 at 90%. How can I improve the model accuracy?
Also, will it take 2 images per batch with 128 "best bet on finding the object detection" to decide on the detection? Is that correct?

2023.06.06 07:53 Dull-Cartographer761 I hate my unattractiveness

First off, I'm not terribly ugly; I'm unattractive, but not disgusting/repulsive. I look far younger than my age (girls see me as a child), am below average in height, have a below average face, can't grow facial hair, and have hair that is impossible to unstraighten and that can't be styled without looking ridiculous on my head (it's either super short or bowl cut). I dress decently, but there's little I can do with my awfully stubby legs. Most people treat me fine, but my friends (and I trust these people; this is honesty, not malintent) have admitted that I'm not exactly attractive.
I'm not shy or awkward either; I'm outgoing, loud, and lively. I'm a good speaker and presenter, but I'm not charismatic, and a huge proportion of my jokes flop. I'm objectively a smart person and attend an Ivy league university studying a high-earning field, but that's not something people care about. Likewise, this post may come off braggy at some points because I'm trying to be honest, but to the best of my understanding people I know would describe me as kind, courteous, and humble; that's to say, my unattractiveness isn't a result of me being an awful person or anything.
This combination of traits always lands me at the butt of the joke. "Haha he gets no women" isn't meant to hurt me (my friends mean it as playful banter and the context/way they say such things indicate as such), but even as I laugh along and pretend otherwise, it DOES get to me. It does fucking hurt remembering how unattractive I am (and in ways I cannot control), and after getting ignored over and over in dating (last time a girl liked me was middle school) and rejected by every woman I've ever asked out, I'm ready to give up. I'm at least somewhat confident in my morals/character and personal success, but this one insecurity of mine cuts deep and I just can't seem to overcome it. Advice would be welcomed.

2023.06.06 07:53 Brave_Assumption_541 Am I over reacting?

I am a 31 year old female. My ex partner is also female. We discussed having a child together as we were with each other for a few years, but I did not want to at the time. I already have a nearly 11 year old son who has SEMH issues and I myself have several mental health conditions that I am working on.
Stupidly, at a low point in the relationship, I got close with someone else and ended up cheating. I don’t know why, and I felt guilty and hated myself after. By this point in the relationship, it was already going downhill, communication was scarce, physical activity was scarce, I was severely depressed, felt alone, unwanted. So to feel desirable again, I wanted that. I needed that. This person ruined a lot and I had to drop out of uni because of this person and they were extremely toxic. They had a huge grip on me and I’m not sure why but I guess sometimes I can be quite vulnerable.
I came clean to my partner and we were going to work through it, but we were stuck with a dog from the person I had cheated with (he got dumped on us), I absolutely hated this dog and he was not a good fit for the house and our other dogs. My partner however loved him and I tried for months to make it work. After one particularly bad fight between two of the dogs, I told my partner they would have to go and stay somewhere else with the dog until he was rehomed. This was discussed a lot and he was going to stay with her dad. We live at opposite ends of the country. So she leaves. There isn’t really any animosity, but we can’t have the dogs attacking each other.
We continue to talk, text, FaceTime etc. After a few weeks of heavy discussions we decided to call it quits for a bit as something clearly wasn’t working in the relationship. At the time I was addicted to prescription medication, self harming, slipping back into eating disorder behaviours, and just generally severely depressed. After two overdoses and another stint in hospital for self harm, I decided to get myself help. My best friend was very supportive. Not long after I got into ‘recovery’ which really was just methadone and not a whole lot else apart from being on waiting lists and trying to just get through the days really. Fast forward and me, my ex, and my best friend fall out. I suspected they were talking about me being my back and I found out they were after seeing the messages. This immediately vilified my feelings of paranoia as I originally put it down to my mental health.
We fell out, I spent hours deleting every single picture of any of us at all on every social media and cloud backup I have. I’m very good at cutting people off and didn’t really bat an eyelid, as much as I did miss them I didn’t even think of them at the same time?
Subsequently I ended up talking to them both again, mainly because of messages that needed to be sent. We all sort of moved on and all was fine. The past two weeks I have been unwell due to starting and then coming off a new medication. I also had a major mood dip and went from ‘okay’ to extremely suicidal in a matter of minutes for days. This is pretty normal for me, so I tried to just ride the waves. Still speaking to my ex everyday, talking about how we could make it work, what could we do to make it work etc. I made sure I kept on track getting better for my son and with the thinking that eventually me and my ex would end up back together again due to the numerous, extensive conversations we had had. I always knew she wanted a child, I told her it wasn’t the right time for me and I was unsure, but at the same time we spoke of all different scenarios of us pregnant and how it would work.
Fast forward to this week, my friend shows me something on her phone and I see my exes picture there. Normally not a problem except that my ex said she doesn’t speak to her so instantly my head went into overdrive thinking they were talking about me. I asked my best friend about it and she said ‘Oh, we talk all the time’ which was a lie right to my face. I called her out on it and said well that’s not what my ex says etc. The rest of the ride home I feel really uncomfortable because I feel paranoid and I know something is happening.
Later that night, my ex texts me and tells me she’s pregnant. She hadn’t even told me she was trying. Turns out my best friend knew before me, and had been keeping it from me. I get that it wasn’t her news to share, but considering she is meant to be my best friend, she should’ve known how upset I would be. I flipped. I was livid at my best friend for lying to my face and keeping that secret from me. I text my ex congratulations but in reality I think they are now dead to me. I have told my family and other associates of my ex that if I see or hear of her or the baby they will also be out of my life. I do not care if it is a boy or a girl, I never want to see a picture of it or my ex again.
In my opinion, me and my ex were going to make another go of it and I was actually planning to surprise her when my son finished primary school (6 weeks left) by potentially relocating. This was another factor in me trying to get better, as I wanted to BE better for us. I believe we would’ve eventually had a child as we had spoken about it in depth but as I had said it was not the right time.
I feel extremely betrayed by both of them and the anger is like something I’ve never felt before. I feel so upset and hurt and confused and every single emotion there is except happy and full of joy for her.
My best friend thinks it’s pathetic that I’m pissed at her but she literally lied to me and knew it was coming and knew I was already in a fragile mental state. She does not understand how I feel betrayed and I asked her several times to leave me alone as I wanted to be alone but she kept pushing the argument, so I blocked her. Oh, my best friend is also a mental health nurse, so you’d think that having a best friend with EUPD plus other things would maybe make her think ‘yeah she probably will be more upset than the average person’ but no. I’m just pathetic. I haven’t spoken to my ex as she is on holiday and as much as she has betrayed me when I thought we were working towards being together again, I don’t want to spoil her holiday. Since my best friend called me pathetic etc and basically insinuated that I was over reacting, I want to know if I am over reacting?

2023.06.06 07:52 Honestly_naive I would induce anaphylaxis in order to leave school early in elementary school

When I was a kid, I had a pretty significant allergy to pineapple of all things and it was really bad with fresh pineapple that people couldn’t even cut it around me without me not being able to breathe. I dont know if anyone can relate but my school would serve canned pineapple at lunch and I could be around that but not eat or touch it with out getting a rash or hives. I, like most kids hated school and so I would eat or rub the canned pineapple all over my skin so I would get hives and they would send me home. Eventually they found me out and I had to eat lunch in the office for months every time they served pineapple.

Johnny Love decided to film a prank on his girlfriend, Brandy Renee. He cut a hole on her yoga pants hoping that they would fully rip in the middle of her yoga live stream. However, things didn’t go according to plan and the pants didn’t rip. So johnny had to finish his prank either way. He ran out and ripped her pants himself giving all of her live viewers a sight they won’t soon forget. From there, he eventually would apologize and since her ass was already out, Brandy decided to give Johnny a closer look. She pressed her ass against his face until he had learnt his lesson. From there, he stretched her tight pussy in several different positions before begging for her creamy treat."

2023.06.06 07:52 _reddit-stories AITA for running away?

My life has been hard for a long time. My parents made me work at a young age of 12yo. My sisters would always put all the blame on me for being the youngest. As of now my parents would put me on a roller coaster of emotional abuse. Once I grew up, my parents would force me to pay their taxes and debts. It seemed like they always asked me at the worse points of my life. I was right on money every time they asked me to pay. The whole time I still lived with them. Once I got a girlfriend i vented everything, after I vented it seemed like she was disgusted by me. Soon after she would make me do the same things my parents would. I couldn't take it anymore and decided to block all of them and cut ties. I'm so glad I did because now I'm married and have a beautiful wife and children.

2023.06.06 07:51 WeirdHidden_Psycho No more Kiwis and Lemon Cat, Cariad. Happy to see you with your anime one.

Cariad
Hello crab. This will be my last message for you.
Well, I just thought I should at least tell you exactly what I felt when you messaged me that you dreamt about me. I mean, you sending me a message after how many months is a real breakthrough. It was literally a pure shock, like you knew when to attack and fuck up my peace of mind. And honestly? I felt like you just made-up those scenarios in your head, saying that you dreamt about me and such. Maybe you built all of those scenarios after seeing my instagram posts and lurking on my profile for days. I don't know. That story in your dreams sounds like a fucked-up kdrama based on your narcissistic side of playing with other people's feeling and using it in your own poetry. I don't know what's real and what's not about you anymore.
By the way, I dated someone after you. He's a long time friend of mine, way before I met you. He stayed in my life for years, with a year of no contact because he needed to finish his military service in Turkiye. After being discharged, he searched for me through gmail and IG, updated me with whatever happened to him inside the base, about his parents in Germany, his sisters in Turkiye and all his nephews and the new-born ones. I also met his aunties and other relatives through live images, which you NEVER DID. The funny thing was that, you are the opposite of him. He's family oriented, he always wanted to know whatever the fuck is happening to me, my family and to my relatives. AND I KNOW HIS FULL NAME. He even showed me pictures of him when he was serving in the military and also his ID, which YOU NEVER DID. I don't even know if the name that you told me was really your first name. Fricking fucking aside, I don't even know your whole name yet I trusted you with my life story, my traumas and fears. And fuck me for trusting you because you only used my life as a subject for your windy lifeless poetry. Fuck me but fuck you more.
I just hope that you will be happy and contented with what you're doing with your narcissistic life. And good luck that girl you are seeing now. I hope you can be happy by loving people based on your fantasies and not for who they really are. Bro kdrama is kdrama. Stop fantasizing people all bc they looked like an anime, or your favourite kpop idol or whatsoever. Hope you'll be happy with a girl who's always at the bar every weekend, party nonstop and someone who is like a living anime (like you said) and looked like a mother with 3 children.
And please, for God's sake (even if you're an atheist), please settle your divorce first with your ex wife before you go and fuck every woman that you like to lick there in South Korea. You're a teacher, right? That doesn't sound like a life your students should idolize nor see.
You cut me out first. Don't expect that I will welcome you anytime in my life again, nor expect me to be happy and be excited to receive any fuckery made-up stories from you. We're done and long gone. You're just a letter in the alphabet for me, a ball-less poet, a lost crab and no mi cariad.
I am happy now with my family, friends and a real man who loved me even before seeing my face. And I hope you'll get the happiness you deserve too and I hope, it's not me.
PS: I didn't pushed through with sending one of your stories (series) in any publishing houses here in Manila, nor letting my brother who has connections and friends with famous writers here in the Metro. You simply don't deserve it. Maybe you only deserve to live your life as an aspiring writer not in London, Wales, South Korea nor here in the Philippines but only in Russia. Life in war mirroring yours, respectively.
I am not your, Lemon Cat

2023.06.06 07:50 Misaria Update on a purchase I'll be making tomorrow - I'd appreciate your input.

I asked for help a month ago and got a suggestion to upgrade what I have.
I'm ordering the parts in 24h (no matter what) so I wanted to double-check that I'm getting the best value for my situation.
In short: I do a bit of video editing/rendering, and image processing (nothing professional); little gaming (so it's not a priority).
I'd like to mimic my current setup but better: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Asus PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 CL16 Memory GeForce GTX 1660 Dual EVO 6GB - not Super; so it's DDR5. Crucial MX300 275 GB as OS SSD Crucial BX500 480 GB SSD is used as a scratch disk
Not matter what option I choose, it's going to be better than what I have so that's good! I really am keeping that in mind!
Pros and cons..
If I update the BIOS I can put a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 70MB in and probably carry on without reinstalling Windows. But RAM is an issue and so is storage. I can't use any nvme m.2 drives; only SATA. But I can get one or two $20 pcie 4 m.2 cards and put them in the pcie 3 slots; or just get 2.5" SATA drives (but they're even slower and cost more).
I can get a new AM4 motherboard that has two pcie 4 m.2 slots but then it doesn't make sense to get the 5900X since it's $25 more expensive than the 13600K.
AM5 is unfortunately too expensive.
The new build I'm going for is: Intel Core i5 13600K 3.5 GHz 44MB MSI MAG B760M Mortar WIFI (maybe the $10 more expensive iTX version)
Either:
Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5600MHz CL36 Vengeance
Or:
Corsair 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 5600MHz CL40 Vengeance
I've run into "Not enough RAM" once, so maybe 32GB is enough.
Storage (I have a couple of HHDs): Two Kingston KC3000 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD 1TB One for OS and games; one for programs / scratch disk.
But I'm still using a 1660, and I'm not doing anything professional. So could I go with: MSI Pro B760M-P DDR4 Kingston Fury 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL 16 Beast
That would cut the cost in half on both motherboard and RAM, if it can handle the 13600k. Though the I/O isn't that great (only 1 USB 3.0/3.1 Gen1 port). (Reason for MSI is the supposedly ease of lowering the temps with lite load settings)
But then do I need the 13600k? For $100 less I can get the 13500 (which still has the igpu). Would I lose much performance?
I'll be getting the Thermalright Peerless Assasin 120 SE for cooling.
Again, thanks for any help!

2023.06.06 07:50 throwawayforariel Review of The Little Mermaid, Society, and Culture (part 2)


Most importantly: the casting of Ariel obviously is the biggest problem with the production. And everybody can plainly see that, but not anybody is allowed to just say it, because of absurd and oppressive accusations and arguments, for example -
"Mermaids are mythological, they don't have a race, who cares if she is black now, you racists." Spongebob Squarepants is not even half-human, yet if they suddenly painted him blue, everybody would obviously dissociate. Not because folks are prejudiced against blue, but because Spongebob would look like a freaking alien to us. We're very, very obviously not talking about "mermaid representation" and "being historically accurate," you morons, we're talking specifically about Ariel, a specifically established character in a specifically established story stamped in time as a classic. It's not race, it's basic association: red hair, floppy bangs, blue eyes, fair skin, green tail, period. The only person talking about race is you, the person calling folks racist.
"Representation for blacks matters, stop being salty." But you just yelled about how 'mermaids were mythological and that the element of race was not only irrelevant but an entirely stupid thing to associate with the character'...? So what is this angle supposed to be if not hypocritical? If her race does in fact matter, mythological or not, because representation does in fact matter, then that would mean it absolutely does in fact matter that you changed her race to begin with.
"Halle IS Ariel, she was born to play this role." The number one and only prerequisite to meet while emulating a freaking cartoon character is the appearance. And everybody knows it, stop trying to triggegaslight innocent, unsuspecting audiences everywhere. Everything else is performance, wardrobe, direction, script, etc. Like what if I told you "Denzel Washington was born to play Johnny Bravo because he can do the voice well-ish enough"...? Would you be able to take me seriously? No? How about if I accused you of a hate crime?
"Nobody complained about Jasmine or Belle looking different!"
Are you stupid...? For one, they didn't look all that different.
a. Jasmine matched more or less the same as her cartoon counterpart, in appearance and in energy, only she was prettier and like barely one shade lighter; what's more, that was a fantastic singer and actress: and even so, YESSS, everybody complained, there was a collective Wilhelm fucking scream/race war until all of the idiots simmered the fuck down upon the revelation that the cartoon wasn't specifically Indian or Arabic or anything but a fictitious hodgepodge of both-ish loll and that the actress looked the part enough-ish, which didn't actually matter, because she wasn't even the star, Aladdin was, and they fucking NAILED him in recreation, NAILED him, and wasn't that so satisfying to witness as a viewer...? hm...?
b. Belle matched more or less the same as her cartoon counterpart- ONLY in skin and hair color and general cuteness or softness of face; she was a hideous dumpster fire compared to the cartoon, in appearance and in energy, and she was a horrific actress and singer; and yes, people complained like crazy... and no matter how hard they did and always will, it will actually still never be enough. She sucked for that role as much as this new girl does for Ariel.
But yeah: none of these bitches looked much different from their cartoon versions. What they did to Ariel is like... if you made the cookie monster pink and instead of cookies, he was into cupcakes.
"The bad reviews are coming from one source: racists." No, you're the racist for saying so though. And a manipulative fucking asshole.

~.~.~

And then of course this girl is an abusive fucking bitch.
For example-
Halle and Disney:
"black mermaaaid! extry, extry! come get your black mermaid!! that's right, look at my skin color, you racists, look at all of these freaking racists and their backlash! all they see is color-> i'm BLACK! so let's talk about how important ariel's dreadlocks are to MY story in 15 interviews, and let's also talk about black girls who can now look up to me because i'm black! but it's not about race you guys! but like remember to go back to seeing in color again in time for when The Color Purple hits theaters too because i actually am being black in that one so don't mix them up okay? anyway: BLACK!"
Innocuous Interviewer Along the Way:
"so, black mermaid, you say?! how beautiful! cool! gorgeous voice! ariel incarnate! shining star, world peace, god bless you!"
Halle and Disney:
"WhaT?! how dare you see my skin color and say my skin color? cancel all racists! who told you i'm black!? who told you to notice and care?! i'm so oppressed you guys, look what i ~\endure*~ see this is exactly what i've been talking about during marketing since 2020 :( i'm black :( stop saying it though :( only me say it +* you see it, but no reminding me :( so racist :( okay anyway, as i was saying, mermaid dreadlocks are really important for my people, this is our roots, and i wish white people would stop complaining that my hair looks and acts different from that white girl's in their own culture's dumb culture-less original. mermaids are not real and neither is white culture, okay, everybody knows that, there's no such thing. they're being racist."

It's like, bitch:
- The Little Mermaid is fucking Nordic- Denmark, you asshole. Hence her physical features in the cartoon. The greatest deviation from that in the cartoon is that Eric's seaside looks more Mediterranean, which is fine because we were still being generally whitey-European- and we had a Jamaican crab for fucking flair. We weren't running off to the Caribbeans (?) of some Victorian 18th century (?) where a black female ruler somehow existed (?) in some insanely prosperous, productive Utopian royal-yet-peasanty bubble island (?) and adopted some *actually* danish-esque shipwrecked bastard who floated there on a raft (?) for the first of many times in his life now apparently made purely of milestones marked by what ship wrecked him at what age (?) and is now to be white king of your highly exclusively black village-empire-colony-dynasty (?) only if he can get past this millennial helicopter parent of a matriarch-monarch because that's her only order of business in all the land (?).
Like, you do understand how much this is not even *your* or anybody's representation, right...? You stole from a realer narrative to pedal your flimsy fake one while shouting at "white people" that "mermaids are mythological so nothing about anything matters except getting blacks on TV"...?
- And also hence her fucking name, Ariel a spirit of the air, or of the North/Nord; and hence the fucking meaning of the name a light or a lion of god, as in her light skin and/or her fiery red hair. NO, "lion king" and/or an untamed orange mane is not the fucking association, and even if it were, you already played in The Lion King! Remember?! You and Beyonce fucked that one up like five minutes ago! Give it a fucking rest get the fuck out of here you parasitic supremacist.
Fucking nobody even cared about your race in the first place,
the masses mostly cared about the basic associative image of the basic ass drawing done thirty years ago and has thus obviously just naturally cemented itself as an intensely nostalgic icon.
You brought race into this, so then FINE:
EVEN on the level of your racially charged and biased freaking playing field:
you're still the only one in this equation who is a flagrant fucking racist, because YES actually, this icon most definitely is already rooted in a specific culture's set of creations and unique representation,
and we didn't even see it that way or think of it like that,
until you fucking forced us down here to witness your ridiculous claims!
You forced a whole category of demographics to go up in arms to have to defend themselves as well as a whole established culture there when you literally:
a. claimed racial ownership of their classic,
b. insisted "white people have no culture,"
c. insisted the "color of the mermaid didn't matter,"
d. insisted the "color of the mermaid being black though did matter,"
e. labeled folks who saw this paradox "racist" without a second thought,
d. and then psychologically/verbally attacked/alienated everyone based on your:
i. inflamed entitlement,
ii. shameless ignorance,
iii. false empowerment,
iv. capacity to be so easily manipulated by disney,
v. and blind racism. like against everybody.
Literally, from start to end of this weird conquest of yours.

Leave fucking classics alone!
If you switch them up just to float your own culture's propaganda,
I am going to make fun of you and your culture, lol,
And I am going to enjoy it, and I am not even a racist,
And doing so wouldn't make me a racist.
As I said, it would make you the racist.
Because wtf are you doing repainting narratives and characters.
Don't dangle irrelevant shit in people's faces,
Otherwise people are going to mock your irrelevance.
That's it.
Your culture's not stupid,
But you look stupid right now here in this doing this shit.
And yes, it's funny and it's fun to laugh.
What else is there to even do?
You replaced all the actual entertainment value with this shit lol.
THIS is the entertainment I've extracted from it thus,
This, writing this, hating you, is fucking fun,
more fun than digesting your product, whose fault is that?
Be grateful I'm still this engaged and part of it.
This is still a great contribution to your stupid agenda thing.
You're welcome, as usual.
But it's not more fun than just enjoying things labeled as
"Your personal favorite childhood memories,"
in this case to me, "The Little Mermaid,"
so fucking quit it.
This was me coping, and good on me for making a tragedy fun,
but let's not exploit this valve that is my soul lol.
Now please go ahead and collect your freaking ethnicities, all of you, every last fucking culture out here, and leave the plot of all of our already established films alone!
(yeah Aladdin Remake, i'm also talking to you, and you hang back after class, because i have a whole other lecture for you specifically- but i liked you better so it's a nicer one:) )
Create new films for representation if that's what you want!
Don't infiltrate the homes of unsuspecting families just trying to eat popcorn and fart and laugh at their old favorite hits together.
THIS was the first era in my life where I was unable to post reviews onto Google Reviews, Rotten Tomatoes, and Reddit for a film. That's all I've been doing for like a decade lol, all of a sudden: CENSORED. And this was the first era in my life where I MADE DAMN SURE not to use curse words or ANY, ANY kind of term or even fucking tone that might be anything darker than neutral. I mean... all of this pent up frustration now, and guess who I am going to take it out on? The face of this entire debacle: that black girl and that white film director.
THIS was a serious moment where multiple credited sites like imdb and rotten tomatoes "updated" their "rating forms" and openly filtered/cherry-picked top reviews repeatedly like fighting against currents. That is so fucking unsettling.
And they are doing this claiming it's because "all these black-hating racists keep review-bombing"
WHILE the number one movie on our planet right now is about a black spider-man lmao, yes, a literally equally black-washed white fictitious character-- during the same era where the WHITE spiderman has a black MJ, to boot.
See? Nobody cares. If anything, everybody's in love.
And this black mermaid movie is actually number two, at least in america, so great, wonderful, people sincerely gave fucks enough like all this! Plus, this singer, along with actress Zendaya for example, are like reigning supreme over their entire generation as we all applaud genuinely and throw roses, so like just mother fucking shut the fuck up already. what white movies are even out!? Fast and Furious part 600 is all people of color and that was number one for like a month before all this, what racism? where racism? how, when, who, what the fuck. Nobody is review-bombing a fucking thing, this remake just happens to suck really hard, the girl happens to be a horrible actress and a very evidently, observably miscast dullard, especially because that one singular image of that one cartoon character was not to be tampered with.
The End.
So my review of this freaking sham is therefore:
I believe this moment in history will be taught in history classes to display an era where an entire culture was racist without even knowing it, whilst accusing itself of being racist in a whole other way for a whole other reason allegedly concerning the miscasting of a mermaid cartoon, almost as if consciously to distract itself from understanding how inherently racist it itself just fucking was; during this chaos of utter confusion, obviously puppeteered by the media, the media took further advantage by pitting these idiots all against each other to make money for their new cartoon film and/or continue laundering blood money as they do through the clogged vessel that is Hollywood, as well as you know, harvest the globe of their hateful, confused, stressed-for-no-fucking-reason energy, vampires that they are, ensuring humanity at large is just replaying the same thirty-odd years on loop on loop over and over unto infinity in a downward spiral toward hell for these demons to continue leeching off us until, I don't know, God decides to do shit about it and set us all free. maybe he'll do so before the 2057 edition of the little mermaid plummets us down another fifty rotting staircases, where the thing's bottom half is human and top half is fish, and both parts are a muslim irish guy yodeling on the banks of the fucking yangtze.

2023.06.06 07:49 SyrupAffectionate491 Accidentally messed up the soup I was cooking. Such a big mistake

I was panicking when suddenly I cut my finger. I watched in horror as the blood from my finger dropped on the soup I was cooking. Holy, holy, holy, now, what am I supposed to do? I have very little time. My Teacher came in and asked if the soup is ready, me and my classmates take turns to cook for lunch. Principal found this fun and wanted to see how well we can cook. I said "well, almost." T: how long till then? He said, I replied "never mind, it's ready" P: good, I'll go serve this now. He said, I'm panicking, hoping they wouldn't notice, I mean, it's just a drip right? I went outside nervous, to my relief they praised my cooking.
P: wow Eve, this is delicious T: she's right, this is amazing. I can finally breath, well at least they liked it. I went home and was greeted by my parents. M: welcome home, dear, what would you like for supper? D: hey, kiddo, how was school? Wow, this is surprising. My Parents never would greet me like this. They play favorites and my Parents favorite isn't me, it's my twin sister they love and favor all the time. After supper I went to bed finally, it's Friday and I'm exhausted thank goodness there's no school tomorrow. The sun hit my eyes and I woke up, went to the bathroom brushed my teeth and went down for breakfast. "Hey, mom what's for breakfast?" No reply "uhh mom?" M: yes, sweetie? "What's for breakfast?" M: you "what?" M: you "mom, stop acting weird" M: you.
I was weirded out and I was about to open the front door when suddenly my sister Ava blocked me. "What are you doing?" A: where are you going? "Outside?" A: why? We're hungry "so? That's not my fault, mom didn't cook anything" A: we were planning to eat raw meat. "That's weird" D: I can't take it anymore! Grab her! Standing there confused, they grabbed me and put me on the kitchen table. Then Ava grabbed some rope and started to tie me. I was screaming then they started to eat my leg. "Help! Help me!" Bawling and begging for them to stop, but they instead pretended like they didn't hear me. Thankfully my neighbor barged in the front door and freed me.
She was escorting me out the house and was about to call an ambulance then...... N: stomach growls your leg "please, my leg is almost gone! They ate it! Please call the ambulance" I was sure that I'm safe with her but no. She then tried to eat me too. "What are you doing?" She ignored me. I grabbed a rocked and smashed her head, she passed out. Then I started screaming for help crawling, I can't walk due to my leg bleeding. I passed out and thankfully a firefighter found me and brought me to a hospital. When I woke up he asked how I was feeling. I was scared that he'll try to eat me too but thankfully he didn't.
I said my leg was a bit numb and he broke a horrifying news to me. F: sorry kid, your leg lost so much blood and you were passed out for a long time it was too late. Worms, flies and bugs started to crawl in your leg. They had to amputate it. As I processed this I lifted the blanket and saw that my right leg was gone. I cried, the firefighter tried to comfort me and asked me what happened and I told him everything. He was shocked, who wouldn't be?
He asked how my neighbor went from nice to a psychotic cannibal. Then it hit me, the drop of blood, the vent above the stove, the steam, the vapor must have escaped through the vent and spread around the city. I tried to tell him that and he said that we'll get them arrested first. He called the police and they arrived and started asking me questions. I felt so relieved to finally be safe but then, they handcuffed me and the police shouted. "Dig in"
