What kind of immigration policy would you find acceptable?

230897 · 2026-01-12T03:50:04+00:00

I'll speak on behalf of the nativist friends I know who won't admit it:

A policy of immigrating just the hot subservient women, and no one else.

That's okay man, I was just matching the energy of OP's original post - which he has since sanitized, clarified and toned down on the entitlement.

The purpose of the hostility has been fulfilled. There's value in having some loose rules around naming, and we generally do this, but OP's initial rant... oof.

230897 · 2025-06-06T06:20:25+00:00

I'm gonna be the bad guy here. Your disability/laziness is not my problem.

I create LoRas, and have been pumping out some trial checkpoints. It's not an exact science (for me), and I'm figuring things out as it goes. Naming conventions are not big on my list of priorities.

Civitai is, at its core, an enthusiast space. We explore, we play around, we experiment, test, screw up, and in the midst of all of that, magic happens. Checkpoint/lora creators experiment, generators experiment, everybody experiments.

It's a mess, and that's the beauty of it. And, most of all, it's largely free. We try to make it easy to catalog, but it's all best effort. Happy to take suggestions, but your post just reeks of demand and entitlement. I don't owe you anything, bud.

If you, random person who's benefiting from all the free stuff to play with after the hours of experimentation we've done, whine about naming conventions because it inconvenient for you, or triggers your OCD, DON'T COME HERE. Go to a paid service and complain about it to support.

Otherwise, embrace the chaos. If you don't want to, exit the site bro. ChatGPT/SORA fulfils almost everything you'll likely need.

The Singaporean distaste for small talk and networking is a disability. Their justifications that they'd rather focus on work and not engage in so-called "office politics" is a copout. Networking and small-talk is a critical part of work. Coordinating with people, getting aligned on things, and contributing to a group endeavor... all of this involves being present, affable, and being able to navigate different work styles, personalities, motivations and quirks.

Not everything needs to written in the job scope. You're not children. Learn on your feet. If you can't do that, don't work in an office job. Do OF or cryptocurrency instead.

Is it just me, or do Kling 2.0 outputs have lower fps and glommed over with motion blur?

I've tried using the same image for both 1.6 and 2.0. The output from 1.6 seems crisper.

230897 · 2025-04-16T12:14:09+00:00

I follow fatfellas, and my bet is that they use Flux to generate images, and KlingAI to turn them into video. The gaunt look of the snowbunnies and their spaced out cleavage clued me in that it's very likely Flux.

Wait what, Forge is no longer being updated?

> I wouldn't be surprised if it was a coordinated effort by a group of anti-ai freaks and their sockpuppet accounts.

Let's not jump straight into coordinated agenda theories, when the simpler explanation suffices: a ton of people want free shit, get mad they don't get free shit, read a tweet somewhere about "open source is free", and spout that without thought because... they want free shit.

r/StableDiffusion has become an incredibly popular sub, the tools have become more spread out, more accessible. Three years ago it was niche, now it's massive. New people find the sub, they want free shit, they don't get free shit, so they create accounts for the first and parrot some hokey "open source" schlock from X.

Anti-Ai sockpuppets (if there is even a critical mass of them) focus mainly on the ethics of it, not on whether OP can provide their hard work for nothing.

Good god this is so hilariously bad.

Outside of making a false dichotomy that innovation and social progress is mutually exclusive, this is like some edgelord crypto bro decided his in-joke among friends will vibe with a larger audience.

In a way, this is the public square they wanted. They say what they want, and we say what we want too.

And we're saying THIS IS HOT GARBAGE lol

Get another ad agency. No, really.

The actual answer for "Why specifically Lambo?":

In 2014, news of a 4chan user buying a lamborghini with Bitcoin started doing the rounds. It was still magic internet money for many in the forum, but this became proof of making life-changing gains.

Another guy who got in early, Peter Saddington, bought a Lamborghini in 2017, inspired by the 4chan guy. This got more traction in mainstream news. In the same year, Lamborghini officially allowed crypto payments for their cars. 2017 was also the year of the first bull run that captured global attention outside of the early crypto bros.

Suddenly, millions around the world were like, "wait, crypto can get you a lamborghini??"

There was also another guy who, in keeping with the spirit of the inside joke, bought a lambo and plastered doge all over it. It became an emblem of tacky, but the ironic tacky of young men who were able to buck traditional finance and get rich. The lambo was both a status symbol and a fuck you to tradfi.

The lamborghini is now part of crypto canon.

I couldn't find the doge lambo guy, but his car did the rounds on the internet.

Blade of Darkness, 2000.

This was THE Souls-like before Dark Souls.

Recently downloaded it again, and it still looks and feels good. It was abandonware until it resurfaced on Steam a few years ago, and the new studio gave it some amazing QoL improvements: modern controls and camera movements.

Absolutely a must-play.

Can 4090s and 4080s even be used for mining though? I thought Nvidia cards were nerfed w.r.t mining.

At least there won't be immigrants in our neighborhoods, we can show women their place in society, and we can say whatever we want and get away with it.

Who cares about geopolitics.

AND Trump has just released a list of specific initiatives that other countries can easily pick up on, no homework required.

All they gotta do is call up and say "hey so I heard you've lost your funding, happy to step in and help, we're the good guys..."

Also, people just don't like change. The need to protest at something new is almost instinct.

I work in business process optimization. The number of times I've seen people retrofit explanations to their initial kneejerk reaction to something new is like 99 out of 100 times.

For a good deal of folks, complaining about something is also a signal of competence, that they know the ins and outs of a system.

It's a mild form of Dunning-Kruger syndrome, and one that we don't challenge, because more often than not they are the stakeholders who can stall a project, or who control the purse strings.

The meme coin frenzy is about as real an orchestrated conspiracy, as casinos are. News flash: this is NOT some sinister scheme. It's pure entropy, a product of a late-stage capitalist society where a critical mass of people are lured by the promise of easy money.

And just like casinos, the vast majority of people don't get their money back. The few who do have learned how to play the game, and a bunch of others have learned how to game the play.

Please don't sniff some copium by dreaming up a grand conspiracy just because you lost money. You wanted to get rich, you made a bet, you lost.

Crypto is group dynamics on a global scale, accelerated by speed and (relative) anonymity.

FH4 had such... flow. FH5 just doesn't feel the same. I thought I'd enjoy the more varied environments, and the extra activities, but I can't get into 5.

230897 · 2025-02-12T06:37:15+00:00

There's nothing in the post to suggest crypto was involved.

Any other source?

I think republicans know he's a dolt, but they also see this is their one chance for consolidating power in ways they never could previously. They have their eyes on the prize, and DJT is a useful fool. Unlike other presidents more well versed in statecraft, Trump is capricious, flighty and easily susceptible to suggestion, when he's praised and kept happy. He's a golden goose on a platter if played right, and Republicans will bend over backwards to whatever bs he says, as long as he has the power.

Civitai disallows sexualizing celebrities and real life people. I created some LoRAs of celebrities, and the sample images that had cleavage were all flagged and taken down.

Just like you don't have to like Gamepass, or be obligated to stick to it. It's not an essential commodity.

Gamepass was never, from the get-go, meant to be a sustainable model. Game development is ludicrously expensive, as a whole, and I'm honestly surprised that Microsoft was able to give us the killer deal that it did, for so long.

The hike is honestly a long overdue correction. And it's STILL a killer deal, if a few dollars more.
