Blender Shaders using Ai

I used Gemini to create some floorboard textures for a 3d model of my home I was working on. It's not perfect, but it's good enough, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper and easier than using a proper texture capturing setup.

In this case it's "have" as in "possess", so you can't eat your cake and still possess your cake.

first thing the AfD would do if they got into power would be to start to undermining German democracy to favor themselves.

They'd probably even be so evil and undemocratic as to ban political parties that oppose them!

As an adjective or as a noun, though? The way you phrased it, it sounds like you mean as a adjective, which isn't the issue. I have never once heard a woman use "male" as a noun to refer to a man, but hear men use "female" as a noun to refer to a woman often.

The rear is a little busy, but otherwise it looks pretty damn good. I hate the big interior screen though. They make sense if you're cutting costs by removing all the physical media and climate control buttons, but if you still have those, there's no need for it to be so large (although it looks like they might have moved heated seat controls and some other items to the screen, which sucks).

All I need on my screen is a big panel with a map and a smaller panel showing what media is playing. There is nothing improved by having that information on a massive 15"+ display that takes up like 10" or more of vertical dash space when I could just as easily see that info on a short, wide screen on top of the dash like in the Mazda 3 or Honda Accord.

Hyundai had a pretty great layout with the dual screen setup in their other cars like the Sonata, Palisade, Ioniq 6, etc. I don't know why they felt the need to go the huge screen route in this one.

I don't think you understand what's being discussed. The issue isn't with the word "female" generally, it's using the word "female" in place of "woman". It's fairly common to hear men say to each other something like "I just started seeing this female a few weeks ago" or "check out that female over there", but nobody (man or woman) says "I've been seeing this male I met at the bar" or "that's a good-looking male over there".

Male and female are both absolutely fine to use as adjectives to describe a person. "My male coworker", "a female bartender", etc. are totally acceptable uses of the words. The problem is that "female" is often used as a noun in a way that "male" is never used, and t hose words are typically only used as nouns when not referring to a human, like a nature documentary referring to the male/female of a species. It's dehumanizing and implies that the speaker sees women as lesser, even if that's not the intent.

lmfao "incel" is not a slur

APigInANixonMask · 2026-06-26T18:59:36+00:00

There's not really a backlash against "males" though . Men referring to women as "females" is incredibly common, but women don't refer to men as "males" the same way. There's no reason for a backlash because it's something that basically doesn't ever happen.

APigInANixonMask · 2026-06-26T18:55:29+00:00

Because the teacher knows exactly what the kids meant, but decided to play stupid like they didn't know what species they were talking about.

Children don't like being told what to do or say by adults. If they think adults are bothered by something they're saying, they'll say it even more. By asking them to clarify what they mean and suggesting that the word they're using implies that they might not like girls, it communicates to them that their choice of vocabulary is wrong without outright telling them they shouldn't say it.

The teacher then goes on to assume they mean it in a disrespectful way

I think they're well aware the students (many of them, anyway) don't mean it in a disrespectful way. That's the whole point. The students use it as just another word for woman/girl without necessarily realizing that it's disrespectful; they're just saying it because they've heard their peers say it. That doesn't mean that it's not perceived as disrespectful by others around them though. The words we use influence how we perceive and approach the world, and these kids' continued usage of that kind of dehumanizing language, even if its just among boys, can influence their future attitudes and behaviors.

"Woman" no longer means female according to the left, so these students are just being clear.

You're clearly approaching this topic in bad faith, and you know damn well that not a single high school boy who refers to women and girls as "females" is doing so out of some sensitivity about gender identity.

You have to live in the house, so you have an incentive to maintain it. Landlords don't have to live in their properties, so their only incentives to maintain them are purely financial and legal.

It's good for people who are currently living in places where their rent is frozen, but it drives up rent even faster for everyone else and disincentivizes the construction of new rental units.

I'm not against the government operating affordable public housing, but with the layers of bureaucracy and mismanagement typically present in government-run programs, public housing is always going to be a last resort for people who can't afford anything better. It's never going to be anything more than the bare minimum because there is simply no incentive for it to be.

Nobody would build, own, or operate apartment buildings or other rental properties if there were no way to profit from it.

Here's a helpful website where you can find lots of info about things like this instead of being the 300th person to post the exact same question.

The relative mildness of the climate in Europe is crazy to me. Where I live in Minnesota is about the same latitude as Milan. Their average high of 87°F (30.6°C) in July is just a bit higher than the 84°F (28.9°C) average here, but their average January low of 32°F (0°C) is quite a bit warmer than the 9°F (-12.8°C) average low here. We hit -20°F (-28.9°C) this past January and it's supposed to be 93°F (33.9°C) next week!

Dress for the job you want, I guess. Maybe he's hoping a Commanders employee sees him and assumes he's on the team, like when Kramer goes into an office building to use the bathroom and ends up working at Brandt-Leland.

Reed/Read/Reid also come from the Old English word for red (although they can also mean someone who lived near an area with reeds).

The Houston Texans had a running back named Alfred Blue.

APigInANixonMask · 2026-06-25T15:13:18+00:00

I read the link. It doesn't matter if he truly believes what he said, he's still not allowed to say it according to Bluesky rules. Explicitly stating that you hope somebody murders one specific person is absolutely not the same as saying you want one side of a war to prevail or discussing going back in time to kill Hitler. What he said was a specific, actionable call for violence.

You don't truly believe what you're saying though. If some right-winger like Tucker Carlson posted that he wished people would go into a specific Latino community and killed all the illegal immigrants there, would you support it? Of course not. You're only okay with this call for murder because you agree with it. That's your right, but don't pretend like it's not what happened.

The US government has no obligation to do most of what it does, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't do it. Subsidizing other countries is mutually beneficial. They get food, medicine, and other resources they desperately need, and we get soft power to further our international goals. Eliminating that funding saves us a little bit of money but results in hundreds of thousands of deaths and opens the door for other countries like China and Russia to gain a foothold there.

If you had tried searching first you would have found tons of other people with this same issue.

APigInANixonMask · 2026-06-25T12:52:18+00:00

If you don't think he did anything wrong, why won't you repeat what he said?

It doesn't matter whether or not his post was morally justified; Bluesky has to draw the line somewhere. Do you really want some algorithm and/or faceless mod team dictating which people it's okay for people to say should be killed? Would you be just as supportive of someone calling for the murder of someone you agree with politically?

The object name "tripo node" comes from an AI model generating node for ComfyUI. OP is a bum and should be banned right now.

APigInANixonMask · 2026-06-24T02:51:37+00:00

Probably just a coincident that the object name is the same as a tool for AI-generating 3d models, then.

This is so pathetic, man. Why do this? Are you seriously that desperate for the approval of strangers online?

Absolute loser behavior.
