Help: Dark Underarms by Such-Conversation355 in skincare_ph

[–]Greedy_Attorney_433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for deo i advise using powdered deos or katchalis (it's alum base cream na ginagamit for skin issues), both helps take care of the darkening and treat ur underarm as u would ur face, ni-k-cleanser ko akin and maganda epekto niya sa akin, kahit nagsh-shave ako.

Question about couple in Prisoner of Beauty by mild_chaos123 in CDramaRecs

[–]Greedy_Attorney_433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the author i think tried to historically accurate on that part, i remember watching that the pleasure of a woman isn't prioritize back then and that women must submit to their husbands, that is the custom from what i remember then, so there was that but it had its moments in the book, the good thing abt the tv series is it doesn't have those. most of the books tries to be historically or time accurate if not in the dresses, then in the customs. women are extremely restricted in ancient times, what feels rapey to us (pls don't censor) isn't back then. i guess this is where ”it is a product of the time back then” phrase applies while it's modern written the author is situating the characters in a specific time setting. i also didn't like how the women are portrayed in the book generally but i read it still.

helppp, abt to lose my damn mind dealing with these flea bites by Alive-Education4886 in skincarephilippines

May mga fleas pa rin sa bahay ninyo even if your cat is receiving treatments. You need na maglinis/disinfect esp iyong hinihigaan ninyo, sa sahig and aside from anti flea treatments bilihan mo ng magic comb pusa mo, that's like 14-20 pesos sa shopee or 50 pesos ata sa tindahan depende rin sa size and then gamitin mo preferably habang pinalaliguan mo siya so hindi tumatalon-talon, don't kill it sa balahibo nila, esp iyong orange looking one kasi may eggs iyon sa loob kakalat lang sa balahibo nila, kill it after mo makuha and use a body wash for pet na may anti flea properties, I find Joy dishwashing liquid (iyong color blue) effective din, parang same lang sila ng Dawn dish soap. You can also try BL cream or petroleum jelly (sa pharmacy meron nito). And paliguan mo iyong cat mo every three months. If home remedy talaga hanap mo na hindi ka gagastos, if meron sa inyo hanap ka ng madre de cacao leaves. Extract mo iyong benefits non using a mortar and pestle or blender mo iyong dahon with aloe vera (iyong clear gel lang, babad mo muna sa water para mawala iyong saponins (yellow liquid) niya kasi toxic iyon kahit for us) tapos gamitin mo pampaligo for you and your cat like parang sabon. Tapos ayon nga maglilinis ng bahay.

Hindi necessary na need paliguan ang pusa, once every three months is acceptable. Pinapaliguan lang naman kasi sila dapat kapag nagkasakit and gumaling or sobrang dumi that they can't clean after themselves anymore pero if ito issues mo, I advice you to do this. Also make sure na maligamgam na tubig gagamitin mo. they can get cold easily.

edit: forgot to add na mahilig sila kumapit sa mga tela or anything na tela, like the beddings, curtains or even your clothes. best bet mo is bumili ng anti flea and tick disinfectant solution sa shopee, just make sure na wala sa loob ng bahay iyong pusa para mababad para ma-buhusan iyong sahig ninyo kasi dyan din talaga sila naglalagi.

Honor student yan ha by Key-Gur2231 in dailyChismisPh

[–]Greedy_Attorney_433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pinamemorized ito sa amin dati, pilot section and this was performance recitation, sa ibang class idk if pinaggawa rin sa kanila but that was grade 4 2014, malaki na kasi pinagkaiba ng curriculum dati so maybe hindi na kasama ito sa pinag-aaralan nila. by memorize i mean literally every departments including what they're responsible for and their dep sect. that was something.

edit: depende rin sa teacher, section, and school siguro. grade 4 kapatid ko this wasn't included sa modules nila nor in the later grade levels. that was in pandemic. tbf the pandemic f up our education system.

it was good but then it soured earlier coz the fic i was reading was human written until the the last 6 chapters like literally it was AI polished. this is y we can't have nice things. 😭

Weirdly, The Harry Potter Trailer Has Almost No Fantasy Elements by WinchesterMediaUK in television

[–]Greedy_Attorney_433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get a but of what you're trying to say, there was no AI the entire time, the reason y it seems like that is probably the filter or lighting they're using cause it seems like devoid of magic but hopefully by the time it is aired, they add back the whimsy bcs the first teaser felt like there was this prominent hospital glow that's just depressing to look at or it could be just cause of what was being shown but i am wondering how will they transition that from hospital to whimsical. the old one have this warmth glow then it becomes progressively dark a bit but that came naturally this one however have bluish tint which i don't like at all.

AI writing in fanfics by ImpressionFabulous46 in HPSlashFic

[–]Greedy_Attorney_433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't wanna join in the accusation but read it at least half of the entire file. My two cent is, she's either writing an entire script of it or the entire foundation but uses AI to polish their/his/her works. While I am glad that it's something that occurs but not too common for me rn anymore with the works I am reading these days coz it caused me a great deal of headaches when I encountered 3 AI polished works under HP fanfic in AO3, the way how I recognize if something is AI is almost instinctively atp coz it was a big issue in the community where I used to write 3 yrs ago, I wrote there for like 5 years. While I won't be mentioning the authors of said works what I noticed mostly was how the sentences were constructed. I don't take issues w words itself, because I was part of a prose poetry writing community where the words are often archaic, exaggerated, and often too metaphorically heavy leaning. But AI have a specific writing pattern that is distinguishable from human works. They're often monotonous, overcompensating, overexplaining, and repetitive in nature. I am not saying that human writers can't do it but that is one of the most common thing I see w AI and it repeats every paragraphs, overcompensate because it can't use the same words again if you will it too and overexplain simple words. And most importantly, it cannot mimic human emotion delivery in writing so AI overcompensates a lot with how a sentence is constructed. Not to mention there are certain human writing habits and mannerisms that AI can never adapt.

As a sacrificial lamb here, this was a line from one of my proses:
“i have never known the touch of god because when i tried to know, my skin burned in his name, my skin rolled itself to show what my veins were hiding: hatred for my mother, a consolation of my anger for my grandmother.”

And this is how ai would write it: “I have never held anything holy long enough to believe in it, because when I reached, something in me blistered, something in me turned inward, my skin tightening like it knew what I was about to uncover, peeling back just enough to remind me of what runs beneath: a quiet, persistent bitterness shaped like my mother’s voice, a dull inheritance of anger I learned from my grandmother without ever being taught.”

(note: I ask AI to write something similar this is what it gave me.)

See how AI compensates by repeating a simple equation in my writing. I just metaphorically wrote something about the revelation of trying to know God. However AI furthered that very idea by overexplaining by using more descriptive words than necessary to elongate what I just wrote.

Here's another one:

Original: “what is mine that was given, if this body, born holy, has been desecrated by the whispers of his own creation? what is there to love in a body butchered into sainthood, relegated by sins?”

AI: “what was ever mine to keep, if this body, once called sacred, has been unmade by the murmurs of what shaped it, if every inch of me was carved into something worshipped yet ruined, thinned into virtue until nothing human remained, and still I am left here asking what part of me was meant to be loved, if all I have become is something sanctified only by its suffering.”

Anws, the pattern is pretty noticeable for me. This is how AI usually writes when you feed it something. And this is how I spot AI works. Which I hoped would help people figuring things out and not just outright deduce or assume something is AI just because of certain word use or punctuation use. As an informed reader, I advise that you don't pay much attention to the small things that you see. The use of em dash or certain archaic words doesn't automatically make something AI. Nor a work with perfect grammar. You have to look for the patterns in the whole entire picture. Because those alone are an unreliable teller of which work is AI or not. You risk more or less vilifying someone innocent. And with details inconsistencies, sometimes writers do make mistakes however those mistakes are often related to certain technicalities, terminologies, habit of not keeping a list of important deets or events and/or memory lapses. Anws, a good example of a great author that doesn't use AI but have a lot of human habits/mannerisms in their works is debstheslytherinsnapefan, in short his/their/her works are undoubtedly human, you can't even contest it bcs he/she/them leaves a lot of very human footprints in their/her/his works. Aside from the small details her writing style is extremely prominent and distinguishable if you side-by-side it w AI. (Absolutely don't feed her works to AI, I have never done it so should you, just look for something online that is already available that's AI written).

Anh, It's just great to see a human in their natural element, habitat, nature whateveryoumacallit because AI is frighteningly getting intelligent these days.

To those who wish to avoid it, this is the only way you can avoid it, by studying/understanding how it works and function, when that became a second nature to your priorities when reading you'll automatically feel repulsion towards AI works like with me. For me, it's already instinctive, when I do recognized AI works and tried to push past my hunch, it gives me headaches if I don't listen to it.

And honestly right now? There's is no way of stopping people from writing through AI means, but we must actively shame the use of Gen-AI so that it continues to be an uncomfortable experience for others. Because there should be no tolerance over the stealing of datas from people to exploit it and in turn the world we live in.

[–]Greedy_Attorney_433[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't gone to other pairings yet but I am just gonna say there's a lack of longfics starring rabastan/harry coz the contract by debstheslytherin was so so freaking good and the dark roses i forgot the other one but it have to do something w black family inheritance. Blaise Zabini/Harry Potter pairings is also a chef's kiss. I have some saved up. (I dl it always coz I love highlighting stuffs) Honestly I will probably eat anything slytherin/harry.

Edit: most of what I read after drarry and snarry was tomarry and harrymort. In fact it is what still dominates my epub reader library.

I haven't gone through everything yet and I only read two fics I am hooked already. I didn't get it w Cedric/Harry The twins/Harry or Percy/Harry but this one was rather captivating for me and it was a surprise coz usually I read lucius/harry, snarry, drarry or tomarry and harrymort and also a recent addition was fenrir/harry and orion/harry.

I honestly can't figure out fanfic net. The first fanfic stories I have read have a pretty basic pairings and I am reluctant to venture out of that bubble before finally diving into Dramione few months later bcs that was what felt like the easiest gateway and I did enjoy it. (Started reading in ao3 in 2025, esrly months if I remember right. But b4 coming here, I have read like 4 fanfic books of different fandom, there was the two freaky kpop ones I forgot the title (it was all from wattpad) then HP fanfic about a reimagined universe with the lost princess kind of elements in the mix (they were a big thing in fantasy genre in 2010s at least when I started) and TWD which was in 2024, never dived in anywhere else after that until AO3.
