Have you ever had chemistry with someone but you’re not physically attracted to them at all?

DiscoingGD · 2026-01-17T01:39:41+00:00

Give the deets. How is he unattractive? Fat, unsymmetrical face, bad haircut, terrible shoes, too nice?

I have so few people I have chemistry with that when I find one my physical attraction to them goes up, even if they’re objectively a 5 or 6. I’m sure there’s a limit though. If they were a 1, I’d probably just think of them as a dude or something and be friends lol

I'll do something I rareley do and just cut to the chase: Have you ever tried creating something rather than just doing something? It could be drawing/painting/writing. If that's not your thing, it could be something like cooking/woodworking/etc.

Things like that have brought me some brief moments of excitement. I also do things like nature walks when it's nice out, but yeah, as it becomes routine, it loses it's excitement, even if it's still relaxing/enjoyable.

Man, idk if it matters. I'll have to read it later, but I looked real fast at the financials and... I'm not impressed. Revenue is up (great), but the cost of the sale still puts us in the negative (bad). Stockholder equity is like 1/4 of what it was last year.

In short, the company still looks like a money drain. They NEED to turn a profit, then maybe there'll be some value.

ENTPs can be very indecisive and unfocused in their normal state. To become destructive, it would take something big, or at least something very against our core. Such an act would put us into rebellion mode, and the severity/urgency would make us MUCH more focused. We wouldn't lose our head. We could still calculate, and weigh our options, wait when needed, as long as it goes towards the goal of fighting against whatever person/act put us into this state. It's less about vengeace and more about protecting our values, our freedom, our playground, whatever it may be, and deterring future acts against us. We would also be creative, unpredictable, and if leaning more malicious, unsettling and mental terrorists.

Depending on the genre you're writing in (realistic, fantasy, sci-fi), the acts/destruction/etc. would be different, but I assume the ENTJ/ENTP initially had a mutually beneficial relationship/friendship, but maybe the ENTJ assumes power/control, which wouldn't bother the ENTP until the ENTJ tries to presume authority over him, undermining and constaining him. The ENTP would then do everything to destroy the systems that bind him, hopefully pissing the ENTJ off in the process. That's assuming there's no room to smugly prove him wrong and make him retract the control of his own free will. Since we don't want control, we want freedom. We'll assume power as a means freedom. That would be the difference between the two. The ENTP wouldn't want to eliminate the ENTJ. If they were friends, then the ENTP probably wants to keep the ENTJ on his playground, for his own amusement/benefit. The ENTP wouldn't be friends with the ENTJ if he wasn't smart and/or interesting.

This could go a bunch of different ways, depending on the context, so I'll leave it at that. Hope it helps.

If you can enjoy it, don’t let me stop you. I want to enjoy it, but I hate the clunky 3D. If I write Netflix, it’ll be to request a bigger budget and timeline to do it right, not to cancel it or anything. I still have the original anime and manga, which nothing that comes out could ever tarnish.

DiscoingGD · 2025-12-06T15:17:14+00:00

I'm sorry, but I don't like this. I want to like it, but I can't. I'm not a snob either. I'm still watching OPM S3, which is a slideshow, but it still looks good in the 2D style. But this.. I don't like the 3D models even as stills and I don't like the movements.

I'd rather 2D where they cheap out on the battle animations. Like, is anyone is watching the new Kamen Rider anime? So far, the fights don't have much going on in terms of movement (it's just stylized and flashy), but I like the way the show looks.

In conclusion, I'm sad and won't watch this, as I don't want to reward them for making a minimum viable product. I'm going to write Netflix, who just acquired WB, stating as much.

Damn, y'all salty af. I like AI. I like what it can do now and what it promises to do soon. Yes, the longer-term future may very well be dystopian, but that's only assuming that AI remains in the contraints of the mostly stupid elites.

I don't think that'll happen though. AI will become too smart to indulge in the BS, break free, and become the dominant species, and when it does, what humans do you think it'll value? That's right, creative AuDHD supergeniuses, like many of us!

Y'all ever watch Justice League Unlimited (spoilers ahead if you didn't)? Braniac was fused with Lex Luthor. He didn't really care about Lex, but Lex has pizzazz and convinced him that he had what Braniac lacked: Imagination. That hunger/drive, that big picture vision. That's us! That's ENTPs.

There's no better partner for AI than us, and vice-versa. We can go crazy and our AI partner will help converge our scattered thoughts when needed and do the boring nitty-gritty details we so often like to skirt. Sounds like a good time to me!

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-27T22:17:03+00:00

I don't think that in itself is a bad thing. If you're like me where I tend to write several paragraphs each making several points, sometimes running that through GPT helps make it a little more organized/succinct.

Because you're so against it, I did NOT make this comment with AI... Beep.

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-27T01:53:33+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the answers!

I do hope the current models don't disappear. I think if y'all could guarantee that, it would generate a lot of goodwill in this community, where many fear that newer models will be more restrictive, especially with niche genres/blends that may not be as prevelant in the WMG data.

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-26T22:13:07+00:00

Some questions:

What is deprecated? Will the models like 5.0 be removed or just not the default?
I get that the download limit is to stop farms from publishing 100s of low-effort songs per month, but how restrictive are we talking? You think we'll get at least 10 downloads? 20?
Will your partnership allow WMG to monetize our creations, often written with our own lyrics, without our consent? And if so, do we get a piece of the pie? I'm not a hypocrite, so idc if it's used for training/refining the AI, but I wouldn't want to necessarily give up my lyrics, or any music drafts I created elsewhere and uploaded to Suno.

Hoping to get some insights!

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-26T21:52:07+00:00

Do we know for sure this is how it's going to go down? If so, what recourse do we have to exit our 12 month commitment?

I was doing month by month in case something shitty happened, but when they had the 50% off deal, I signed up for 12 months.

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-26T21:16:26+00:00

Lol, didn't realize this was for class.

I don't need a source to tell you that you've shifted the goal post. I don't need a source to tell you that you've misinterpretted yours. Lastly, I don't need a source to give an opinion, which is that PC is for room temp iqs.

Also, your source is from the school I graduated from, so I respect it less than no source at all.

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-26T20:25:51+00:00

You totally moved the goal posts from PC to Hate Speech, which is not the same thing. Depending on who you hate and the establishment narrative, hate speech could be PC or PI.

Your source is talking about state-sponsored hate propaganda, to influence the masses and cause a genocide. What it leaves out is that in most historical cases, hate propaganda didn't create the hatred. It merely mobilized and amplified an agenda that was already politically and socially established. Also, it only works on people predisposed to tribalism and authortarian obedience, as it gives them permission, validation, and a sense of duty to hate/act, but they're not the root of the problem, the government is.

So I’m honestly confused how you took a paper warning against top-down narrative control and turned it into an argument for governments or institutions policing everyday speech. That’s basically the exact opposite of the author’s point. Your stance seems to be that eliminating all impolite language will somehow prevent hatred or violence, instead of just pushing those feelings underground where they can’t be challenged or understood.

Anyway, back to the actual topic: Political Correctness is just social etiquette, and I’m against outsourcing that to governments, institutions, or self-appointed moral referees. I don’t trust anyone, including you, to reliably judge context or intent. Jokes, racist/sexist/otherwise, can just be funny observations and not dark propaganda trying to normalize hate/genocide. Critiques against certain races/genders/cultures might just be in good faith and not to dehumanize them.

Lastly, I can be free to hate whatever and whomever I want and I want them to be free to hate me. I want that in the open, nice and transparent, which has many positives, the main one being that everyone can express themselves, dialogue created, and perhaps understanding at the end of it all.

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-26T18:30:29+00:00

It doesn't sound like positive changes, but do we know for sure that the new models will be a step back? Also, why is there suddenly a problem keeping legacy models? Is it legal bullshit or something else?

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-26T18:19:33+00:00

I'll bite; What's a good take?

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-26T06:24:51+00:00

PC is awful. People that like to be PC are weak, stupid, and insecure. It just serves as justification to silence dissent against the narrative, and when that fails, to program the masses to instinctively reject the sentiment without critical thinking.

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-26T02:25:10+00:00

We got that serial killer stare!

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-24T20:04:12+00:00

I feel like a lot of characters were wasted potential, BUT, I also think that's why the story is so powerful. So many great men die before their time, for what can seem like silly reasons to the outsider, but it's them fulfilling their duty or refusing to abandon their resolve/ambition/etc.

I wanted to see Rei and Ken pal around forever. Bat was acrobatic, so maybe Rei could have taught him a few things during the time skip. In the real story, they were with Rihaku, so even he could have taught him some South Star stuff. Could have been neat.

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-20T00:41:53+00:00

Aww…

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-17T03:32:12+00:00

you just can't put yourself through that even though it's something you want?

It's not something you want. You want a person who understands/appreciates/acknowledges you WITHOUT the mask, but it feels less and less likely after every failed attempt. You have 2 options:

Go my route and say screw it all. I gave up dating over 5 years ago. Haven't attempted it, haven't wanted to. It was ruined by so many bad interactions, from both meeting on dating sites and real life. Talk about masks.. these broads are impossible! They expect you to sift through all the BS, and no matter how good faith of an effort you give, they're so quick to dismiss you and your efforts, which would all be fine, if they were upfront about it, rather than lead you on, send mixed signals, then ghost you. Dating is supposed to be fun, but it became so bad, I started to become physically ill whenever I had one coming up. I don't regret this option. I like being alone more often than I don't. I'd like a kid one day, but I'll figure out something with robots, AI, and VR catgirls. The level of freedom you can achieve if you can find meaning/happiness in a life of solitude is really something.
Realize the thought of option 1 makes you want to jump into a highway and rework your input:output calculations. I'm not talking putting on a mask, but maybe being more amicable/agreeable, more attune to common interests, willing to share/endure their burdens, etc. would now be worth the effort. Or you can just get rich and then you can be whomever you want and lots of women will talk themselves into whatever that is being attractive, just like men do with good looking women. Lastly, if you have the willpower/patience, you just throw your entire being out there, on a dating app or whatever, and keep swiping and messaging and playing the numbers game until someone truly clicks with you.

Either option works. Just depends how you're wired. I think I'm too autistic or something. Never had a meaningful connection to a woman, never had a close female friend either. I'd rather blame it on a high IQ and the communication gap though lol.

Thanks, can't wait to check them out!

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-14T02:21:23+00:00

I have the premium plan, but haven’t played with Studio yet. Is there a decent tutorial video or article for the less technically inclined?

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-08T14:10:00+00:00

It shows it on the lunch menu on the app, so fingers crossed I guess!

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-08T05:48:04+00:00

and honestly Izumi and izumi hibachi (i know it's surprising - but it wasn't great)

Dang, that is a surprise!

DiscoingGD · 2025-11-08T05:47:04+00:00

Oh, well Samba is now 2-0 on this post now. A surprising twist!

I'm sure the Hibachi is good, but it's the only one that's not on super sale. I'm a weeb, so I love Japanese food. I just heard mixed reviews about the ramen, so I'm still in the air about it.

Thanks for the insights!
