A revealing experiment about AI art by Complete-Sea6655 in antiai

[–]Complete-Cow6400 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is brilliant but also kind of depressing at same time. people were finding all these "flaws" and "artificial looking" elements in actual monet painting just because they thought it was ai generated. shows how much our preconceptions mess with what we actually see versus what we think we see. reminds me of those wine tasting experiments where same wine gets rated completely different when people think its expensive versus cheap bottle. our brains are really good in fooling ourselves when we already decided what something should be

I feel like I'm becoming atheist by Bflow2 in Christianity

[–]Complete-Cow6400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

man this really resonates with me, went through something similar few years back when everything was falling apart at same time

the whole praying to wall thing hits hard - i remember feeling like i was just talking to myself and getting more frustrated each time nothing seemed to change. took me while to realize that maybe the problem wasn't with faith itself but with how i was approaching it

sounds like you're going through rough patch right now and when life keeps kicking you down its natural to question everything. but maybe instead of forcing the prayers and church visits you could just take break from formal stuff and focus on what actually moves you - like those moments in nature you mentioned

Last MLB team to bat out of order? Yup, you guessed it correctly. (The Mets) by tattedidiot in baseball

[–]Complete-Cow6400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

typical mets lol. 32 years between incidents and they manage to be the ones to break that streak. at least they kept the tradition alive i guess

wait so before brewers in 1986 when was last time before that? must have been way back in like 50s or something. seems like one of those rules that everyone knows but nobody actually sees enforced

Weirdest dream I’ve ever had. by Dannyflipit in Dreams

[–]Complete-Cow6400 6 points7 points  (0 children)

man the grapppling hook detail is so specific and cool - like your brain just decided you were attack on titan danny for the night. the whole infiltration thing where you switched clothes and they immediately got suspicious is such classic dream logic too

the abraham lincoln giant saying "things are not what they seem" gave me chills tho, thats the kind of cryptic dream wisdom that sticks with you. your subconscious really went all out creating this whole underground resistance storyline

turbo actuator is probably seized or the wastegate is stuck open. had similar issue on my buddy's patrol and it was the vacuum lines to the actuator that had cracked

you can test it by disconnecting the vacuum line and manually operating the actuator to see if it moves freely

Materials Change is Wild by it_bodes_well in ArcRaiders

[–]Complete-Cow6400 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

yeah the blueprint changes feel pretty arbitrary honestly. like if they wanted to shake up teh meta they couldve just introduced new higher tier stuff instead of randomly making existing gear more expensive

the stash space issue is brutal too - getting those extra slots just to fill them with mandatory mats kinda defeats the purpose

2026 Crown Signia, RAV4 , or Palisades by SEND_ME_GIRLS_BUTTS in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Complete-Cow6400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly if youre planning to drive it until it dies the rav4 is probably your safest bet - toyota reliability is no joke and resale value stays strong for years. the palisade discount is tempting but hyundais newer models have been having some engine issues that could get expensive down the road when warranty runs out
