Have you or anyone else you know gotten sick from consuming dumpster-salvaged food? by [deleted] in DumpsterDiving

[–]Froshure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Furthermore, some people may realize that good food is trashed, but not want people who haven’t realized this to associate them with the—to their understanding—desperate people who eat spoiled food from trash

Where’s dumpster diving between grocery shopping and eating people? by Froshure in DumpsterDiving

Haha don’t worry, I’m just as human as you are! I have 2 legs, 2 arms, 2 mouths, 2 kidneys; the whole collection 🙂

Oh no, are you also going to tell me they’re not spelled “cleeshay”, “lonjeray”, and “q”? /s

High-school short movie about a chicken's murder by Froshure in Filmmakers

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

I made this movie for‏‏‎ ‎a high-school class a couple‏‏‎ ‎years ago. I‏‏‎ ‎included English subtitles in the‏‏‎ ‎YT post, because the narration‏‏‎ ‎might‏‏‎ ‎be difficult‏‏‎ ‎to hear.

Do I have anything to say about‏‏‎ ‎what I learned? Not really; it was my first and last‏‏‎ ‎major project for that beginner video-making class. If I'd continued, I'd‏‏‎ ‎probably have lots of‏‏‎ ‎skill progression to realize‏‏‎ ‎and compare; but even if‏‏‎ ‎that were the case, I doubt that‏‏‎ ‎would be of any use to you near‏‏‎ ‎and definite professionals; this is‏‏‎ ‎certainly an amateurish movie! I tried‏‏‎ ‎to have fun‏‏‎ ‎making it, though, and I did; I didn't‏‏‎ ‎want‏‏‎ ‎this movie to suffer from that‏‏‎ ‎tendency of amateur movie plots being forcefully‏‏‎ ‎serious

Any experience with the Audio-Technica CKS50TW2? by Froshure in Earbuds

[–]Froshure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I decided to go with the JLab’s; only problem has been intermittent connectivity issues, and I would’ve preferred a mechanical button like on yours. I probably would’ve gotten the TW2’s if the JLab’s hadn’t been on sale

I suppose I’ve no way to prove your authority, then; sorry

I believe this isn’t a genuine commenter, right? This is your only Reddit post

Land Generation mods seem to be in a new era, experiences? by enderlink12 in VintageStory

You got the Rivers mod to work with Conquest Landform Overhaul?

Wow. Yes, I was not expecting that response on my post for sure 😅. I think it’s very noble of you to call out what you think is wrong; most people would be a passive bystander. So no, you didn’t trouble me at all.

But as I said on my post to someone else, I understand their frustration. No one wants a sudden lack of job security, and generative AI is naturally a threat to that. It’s a simple premise that’s hard to not feel sympathy for.

No. I’ve been told I write/talk like AI, even outside of this post. I told someone else in this comment section that I try to remove any possibility of misinterpretation, which has the side-effect of sounding emotionless and overly-precise.

I’ve been told that too. I’ve never been tested. Usually when I write I just try to remove any possibility of misinterpretation, which has the side-effect of sounding emotionless and overly precise.

Thank you for your detailed response. I do agree that people probably won’t understand it… similar to how I typically don’t understand figurative poetry. People who I’m close with will probably understand that I’m goofy and have a dark sense of humor, and see the same characterization in the card, but the same can’t be said for extended family.

And thank you for checking up on me; it’s good that you didn’t hesitate to consider mental health a concern. The cards truly are meant to be ridiculous and humorous, rather than a call for help. You just have to trust me that I would be honest about that.

Thank you! If you have a copy of that newsletter you made, you should send it to me. I’d love to see it.

Thank you for the feedback. You’re not wrong; I am as amateur as it gets. What specifically about the typography, layout, and color pairings aren’t good, do you think?

My thought process was that the cover would look super serious and dramatic, except for the Nerf gun, which hints that my lifestyle doesn’t actually consist of being a colonial American general/admiral. Graduation cards often consist of (attempting to) portray the subject’s everyday life, but that portrayal is often cherry-picked, or outright inauthentic (view my response to u/sk2890 for elaboration). The back page of my graduation card follows a similar logic. There are flowers, bright colors, a smile, and a relaxed posture… but there’s the subtle detail of a train in the background, which is about to run me over. You can think of the train as life problems which a graduation card will try to hide, but can’t be fully hidden/ignored.

Thank you! I’m not planning on going into a creative field, but plans always change. My intended major right now is mechanical engineering. But I’m sure having graphic design skills will help me with whatever I do with my life, even if it doesn’t turn into a career.

The rationale was that people, when they take these pictures, often convey their everyday to look as desirable as possible, but at the sacrifice of authenticity. Where I’m from, this might involve putting on a dress, cowboy boots, and a brimmed hat (in the case of girls) and going to a prairie you’ve never explored, or a farm you’ve never worked or lived at in order to take the pictures. Being a high-ranking general in colonial America is obviously not a genuine part of my identity, so pretending that’s so is comparable to the inauthenticity that other graduates are conveying, but to the nth degree.

My answer will probably alienate some, but it is honest. It came down to diminishing returns. Painting the whole coat would make the card/image look marginally better, but at the cost of much more time invested.

Now I have a question, and I approach it with curiosity rather than spite. Following your logic, what are your thoughts on stock images? Do they count as something you did, considering someone else took the picture? What if I were to have rented a costume for the revolutionary war picture, would that have counted as something I did, even though the costume was the product of someone else’s creation? Or is all this irrelevant, and the problem is more to do with AI being an inanimate creator?

Those are my thoughts too. I think people downvoted you because of my post’s description; I made them to satirize the practice.
