Cornell 7 - Megathread to hold space for locals to discuss

41 Upvotes

User u/llamanutella suggested creating a megathread for this purpose:

I really think it’s a great idea to have a megathread and ban discussion outside the megathread. I completely understand (and agree) that this topic needs to be discussed as this has happened far too much at Cornell But I also think with stories like this, a lot of people are not acting in good faith and just want the opportunity to join the social media mob, and no one is entitled to do that for their entertainment at the expense of actual residents or students/employees negatively impacted by the situation

The purpose of this megathread is for people in Ithaca and its surrounding communities to discuss the collateralized effect this has had on our community, and how we can support one another. We're just holding space for each other here. Try not to be shitty to each other.

There is a separate thread for discussions about The Cornell 7 and news related to it. Please try to keep discussions directly about that goings-on limited to that thread.

Cornell 7 - Megathread

45 Upvotes

The purpose of this Megathread is to hold all news and general discussion about this topic*.* There is a separate megathread for locals discussing community support in the wake of this event.

NSFW label removed from this post for visibility, but this thread may be NSFW.for your W.

Discussion guidelines

  1. Good faith discussion of all kinds is welcome. Don't troll / sealion / ragebait / shitpost, etc. Reddit is a big place and there are plenty of other places to do that.
  2. Sock-puppeting / Ban Evasion is disallowed. If you aren't posting it under your main, is it really something you need to be posting? (Sock-puppeting is creating an alt-account solely to interact without personal accountability on your main).
  3. No non-public personal info. Individuals who have been publicly named in court filings or by public institutions (e.g. the defendants) are OK to name. Others (their parents, family, etc.) are not. Don't name Jane Doe. Don't post home addresses. If you aren't sure, send ModMail to ask.
  4. Automoderator is pretty aggressive. Many social links are autofiltered. If your post or comment gets flagged for moderation, sit tight. We'll get to it.

Chronology

Will do our best to keep this updated as new posts are added, but here's the current rundown:

Last minute dress hemming

1 Upvotes

I’m in a bit of a bind and need someone to hem a dress for me. The usual tailors, like John’s, K’s, and Slow Hill, aren’t available because I need it by this coming Wednesday, October 21st. Does anyone have a hobby of hemming clothes and could help me shorten my dress? It shouldn’t be too complicated, but I’m in a hurry! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Snow Plow/Removal Help

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations for snow plow/removal services that can clear a very long driveway (well over 600ft). I’ll be new to the area and will need help when it snows.

I’m not sure how to search for who may do it, or how the service options are defined and set up. Is it per time, or based on snow depth, etc.

If anyone has experience with this or some recommendations and insights, it would be greatly appreciated.

Lost my suitcase on Giles St earlier today.

32 Upvotes

Hi all,

While packing my car to go away for the week, I made the mistake of forgetting to put my suitcase in the car. I must have left it by the side of the road on Giles St. in between the bridge over the gorge and Hudson street.

It’s a small maroon suitcase with wheels. If anyone found it or is close enough to go look, I would deeply appreciate it. I’ll reward $100 if found.

Thank you all

Small Businesses Using AI / General AI

Post image
136 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing small business use AI everywhere. It’s exhausting to get bombarded with awful graphics, and fake food images that don’t even look like what their actual food is. So, look up articles on the awful things AI is trying to take away from us…..CREATIVITY.

It’ll take you a little longer to figure out how you want to present your business put it’ll help you in the long run to create your own image for your business. There are graphic design students in both universities (TC3, Cornell, Ithaca College), kids from highschool that work on graphic design through their art class as well, and SO MANY LOCAL ARTISTS. There are multiple youtube videos on how to create your own graphic designs and canva templates are free to use. You just need 5 templates and keep recycling them throughout your socials!

Just give us the photos of real food, make menus easier to read, and stop bombarding us with BS that we don’t want.

I also find it hypocritical that people are against the data centers being on Cayuga lake while people use AI to generate fake images of themselves with the upcoming “trend” that’s going on. Shame👏🏼on👏🏼you

Go online, do your research, see the impacts of AI. If you’re still having a hard time understanding, keep educating yourself. Don’t let these elites turn us into sheep.

Have there been any new developments at Ned's?

I received this email today. Has there been another change of ownership? Or is it just a way to rope in some business from the student population? I'd love it if a return to the old Ned's quality were to happen.

Framing for original art

I need to frame several pieces of original art for a gallery opening in November. I know that some places like Michael’s can do it but I would prefer someone local (and hopefully inexpensive). I just don’t think I have the skills or knowledge to do it myself!

Missing cat?

Is anyone missing a cat? Saw one in caguya heights several times recently. Looks healthy, friendly with no collar.

Also, are there any rescue organizations in Ithaca who will be willing to help trap the cat, so he/she can go to a safe home.

Feel worried about the cat :(, since it's getting cold n
