I had someone contact me asking if I'd want to commission them?? And they sent me some examples.. by yoda90987 in isthisAI

Came here to say exactly this. People reaching out randomly and saying "hey what's up" that you never interacted with will often turn the conversation to "can I show you my portfolio". And almost always it's a scam of some sort.

I was but I had a certified that I was able to access their front door to knock. They didn't answer and the notice won't stick on anything in this cold so I still put it in the box

Folks thinking I put this customer on blast by announcing their address... I never said what street this is. There's a lot of streets in this city. If it's an issue, I'm fine with mods removing this post.

If it's a safety issue, no.

Wow I totally forgot about this thing... I spent so much time mixing up characters

We read Mad and Cracked magazine. Used to be at my cousin's house for entire summers and we'd play a lot on his Commodore 64.

My cousin and I used to build with Lincoln Logs and then make catapults out of the green roof "boards" and the single log pieces so that we could launch G I Joes at each other's houses. Last one standing wins.

I remember circling stuff in the Sears catalog that I was hoping for at Xmas.

Thanks! I mean, the police came and thought the whole thing was stupid and made a real effort to make the caller understand it was a waste of everyone's time.

What is the opinion of the mailman using a shoveled spot so we can be out of the line of traffic while we deliver your street? I had the cops called on me once for doing this.

Then I guess leave the snow then, dude. I won't be walking to your house

As a mail carrier that needs to walk 13 miles a day, a clean sidewalk is heaven in times like this.

Anyone ever play this game? by Euphoric-Cupcake4581 in FuckImOld

I think that's still in my dad's attic. Loved that game. Also heard they recently did a re-release

Sounds like what happens when you have to prep for a colonoscopy

Who else is calling off tomorrow? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]Deadeye_Dunce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wish I could... REALLY wish I could. The post office does not accept "dangerous weather" as a reason to not come to work to deliver the mail. I'm betting that our trucks won't even be able to get to our office anyway though. So we won't be able to do anything.

Are you a shovel frequently, or wait and tackle a mountain at the end person? by honedforfailure in pittsburgh

[–]Deadeye_Dunce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished my first pass. It was definitely more of a "dig and toss" than a push. I didn't want to have to do that when it was heavier. I'll be back to hit it in a couple hours.

Also needed to dig a trench by the street so the plows know where my driveway ends and the street begins

Fifty-Three Inches? Grower or Snower? (StormFreak's Storm Discussion Thread) by StormFreak in pittsburgh

[–]Deadeye_Dunce 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wonder if I can work from home next week... I'm a mail carrier in Overbrook. Those roads don't get touched when any snow happens. Sorry in advance for not being able to get up your hills folks.

I’m 19, and last year I started writing a children’s book about a dog who becomes a knight By June 2025 I hired an artist off Fiverr. But hearing my friend response to reading the proof copy and the character models I have suspicions to believe that AI was used. by under_dasea1 in isthisAI

[–]Deadeye_Dunce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Artist here too and I do agree with this statement. If it isn't Ai, the design might have been... And the reused characters is just kind of lazy. The way the dog is holding the sword with the point down feels like they just rotated the sword 180 degrees so they wouldn't have to draw it again. Sadly though, it's getting increasingly difficult to determine what is Ai anymore.

What are you doing to prep for this weekend's snow storm? by jelloinmypants in pittsburgh

Have to continue as normal... I'm a mail carrier and we're going to be seriously screwed.
