No AI is used in my process
I’m probably a little biased since I use it as a repository for art receipts, but Internet Archive. I started using it after learning that images uploaded to Imgur expire after a certain amount of time or if they get no views after a certain amount of time. The Internet Archive is just that, an archive, so uploads expiring or the site being discontinued should be the very least of your worries!
I used to dislike anything battered, but now I absolutely love it! Battered fries/chips are honestly such a step up that I’ll only eat normal ones if I don’t have a choice
Sometimes I’ll just throw a baguette in the oven and bake it until it’s nice and crunchy and while it’s still hot I’ll break the top off and just start picking at it and eating it as a snack.
This person is enlightened. Bread is love, bread is life 🥖
Lawful evil here since I have a habit of writing down reminders for random things on a notepad file
I don’t like going into too much detail about my personal life so I’ll mention a few that don’t reveal too much:
Physics. Sometimes I can’t resist nerding out about it and teaching it to others! I didn’t get the title of “physics girl” in school for nothing haha.
My point still stands. If there’s evidence that someone has done terrible things, then most reasonable people aren’t going to stick up for that person. I’m not sure what relevance not knowing the people involved has. Normal people are angry at Neo Nazis even though they may not know one personally.
I’m assuming this is about Neil Gaiman. 9 women, the youngest being 18, have come forward and he made them sign NDA’s [Content Warning]. Even if it was consensual the stuff he’s admitted to doing is just awful. As a girl, I have every right to be angry that people like him view women as toys to use and abuse.
Get a new computer. My ageing HDD’s experience this intermittent issue with corruption which sometimes affects entire folders, typically larger ones which contain games. The HDD which stores Windows is also getting the same thing although not as bad. I’m also having issues with RAM and overall it’d be less hassle to just replace the whole computer rather than buying parts and fixing it.
Get a new monitor even though I just set a brand new one up yesterday after I ordered it from Amazon. I can definitely notice the difference between 350 nits (old) and 250 nits (new) even though other people can’t seem to notice any difference in the brightness
I’m an adrenaline junkie. Skiing, fast go-karting, jumping out of planes, all that jazz
I have nearly 2 TB worth of games on the hard drive that I store games on, though ARK takes up a sizeable chunk of that space oops
Eating my fave foods. I’ve always naturally fasted and I don’t have an appetite until pretty late into the afternoon, so this is more than a good excuse to make up for that!
Clothes shopping. I found a really nice dress the other day and it feels so comfy to wear!
Anyone who knows me that on the ice rink I turn into the human equivalent of a scruffed cat. My friend wanted to see me skate and I didn’t want to disappoint so I ended up launching myself by pushing off of a wall. Suffice to say I ended up landing square on my butt! 😂
Yes to both, and I can also read in my dreams as well, which is popularly thought to be impossible. It’s not gibberish either but cohesive headlines in a newspaper or something. I am most likely abnormal in this sense since I also appear to have hyperphantasia, so what applies to me may not extrapolate to the general population!
I like the second drawing with the motion of the wind and the pillars! Nice photos too! 😃 Forest one is such a vibe
Yes, but for me it is Victoria, Australia. I think the temperature in the summer would still be too much for me though, since temperatures have been known to exceed 40°C… 🫠
A very overdue Christmas themed drawing that I’m not finished with just yet. So here’s some fluffy tinsel I just got done with rendering!
I had classes on CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver at school as part of the First Aid classes we had, though I’m not sure how commonplace such classes are in other schools/locations.
First Aid, since you never know when this might be helpful on either yourself or others!
Yeah, it seems like there are a lot of people who will only read the headlines, which when combined with what headline they went with is egregious. Honestly, clickbait such as this is a pet peeve I have with media in general.
As an artist who has had her art stolen before for usage in an AI output, being against any and all art theft is the default and perfectly reasonable standpoint for an artist. On some art websites, AI generated images fall under the rule against art theft. This is because AI models scrape artists’ work without their consent, and the output of a prompt is reliant on the amalgamation of the aforementioned scraped artworks. I’ve personally seen some AI images in which the mangled remains of artists’ signatures are still visible.
The best analogy I can offer to explain why this is theft is that typing in a prompt into an AI image generator is like commissioning an artist to draw something for you, except the artist turns out to be someone who traces people’s art and picks stolen artwork to trace from to match the prompt, and then claiming that it was you who created the image.
As much as I love spiders (sorry tarantulas! 🥺) I’d love to be a T-Rex just because it’s so much cooler.
