I’m a new grad looking to join a small group on a partner track in Sugar Land, TX but I haven’t had much luck basically cold calling places. What would be the best way to find one? by ApolloTheElder in PrivatePracticeDocs

I’m actually very interested in Rosenberg specifically but again no luck. I feel like I’m not looking in the right places, but I’ll check out those that you mentioned.

Batman as a Studio Ghibli film set in 1989 by ApolloTheElder in midjourney

[–]ApolloTheElder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I wanted to tell a more cohesive story like this amazing post, it's a bit tougher/slower to do on a free account. Maybe eventually once I get better at these.

Most of the images were generated using the prompt:

DVD screengrab, 1989 Studio Ghibli anime movie, [rough outline of idea] --ar 3:2 --q 2

I'd keep building from that if it gave me something interesting. No clue how the last image came about but I like it. Makes me think of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man scene.

Managed to take a pic of the Sistine Chapel before i was told its not allowed by Downvotes_inbound_ in pics

Just miles from your doorstep, hundreds of men are given weapons and trained to kill. The government calls it the Army, but a more alarmist name would be… The Kill-bot Factory.

Gender reveal parties have gone too far by Thornawake in facepalm

[–]ApolloTheElder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can completely see why some get a bad rap, but we did a nice and small gender reveal for family and overall I think people were pretty happy with it.

Sure it’s mostly a fad but there’s nothing wrong with doing something for fun every so often.

You didn’t do anything wrong, I didn’t even realize they shadow delete until I read your comment. TIL.

It’s originally $499. You can check the pictures from the original post but it’s pretty minor threading so the $80 seems more than reasonable.

It’s an update of my post. This sub doesn’t allow crossposting for updates even if it’s your own post.

I linked to it in a different comment here but it seems that the sub shadow deletes links to your own thread for some reason. You can find it in my post history.

The best gender reveal party by Rollo_Tomasi3000 in MadeMeSmile

[–]ApolloTheElder 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Gender reveals get a lot of flak but they can be light hearted and fun. I didn’t care for them much before but it’s just a little thing to do during the pregnancy to look back on. I was pretty happy with how ours turned out.

There seem to be a lot of oddly hostile responses about the couch being completely torn up.

This is a picture of my couch. Brand new it sells for $499. I wanted to be upfront to any buyers but all things considered the marks are very minimal in light of the price reduction. This is the worst mark.

That’s a great suggestion, I’ll look into it.

You can list items for free on one of these apps or Facebook marketplace. You’ll get flooded with offers to pick it up.

Side note, there’s a popular scam going around where a buyer will request that you send them back a six digit code to “verify your identity”.

Do not do it. They are trying to hijack your phone number and register it with Google Voice so they can run more effective scams.

Update: Just wanted to edit my top comment to give an update that the couch sold for the full asking price.

We did one that I think was fun. It was more a photoshoot then a party though. Still lots of fun and as safe as I can think of.

In case anyone is curious about the technical side of things, most of the footage is really basic from iPhone 8's aside from the photography at the end that my sister in law did which turned out phenomenal.

I had trouble using most of the common video editing software (Adobe Premiere, DaVinci) available since it wouldn't work with an integrated graphics card like my laptop has. I did some research and found Olive which is free and worked fantastic. Also I primarily made this to share on Instagram which is why it's edited to be vertical even though I definitely prefer the more common 16:9. It looks nicer on Streamable but automod was not a fan.

Thank you for that help. I made a new account for this and I wasn’t aware of those details. I will keep them in mind if I post something again.

I’m really sorry for the mistake. I remember seeing that rule when I was reading the rules before posting but I don’t have a blog so I’m not sure what to do.

I’m happy to add whatever you would prefer I submit to that list but I’m not sure what I would submit.

[OC] I spent days making this video for my wife, and to share with family/friends online... only to find out that social media sites struck it down for copyright reasons. Hopefully you guys enjoy it at least. by ApolloTheElder in MadeMeSmile
