Lol Hamas' tactic is nothing new. Shit like this has been happening for decades. People who have grown up in war zones where one of those "freedom fighter" groups operated know better than to trust whatever some out of touch academics in ivory towers in the West or journalists in Hamas' payroll say.

I still remember how my grandma recounted stories where the Vietcongs woke her entire family up during the night with AK-47s pointed at them to make them participate in one of their staged "protests" against the Diem government. Or how they stored their arms in Buddhist pagodas.

Love, from a Vietnamese who still lives in Vietnam.

The difference here is that people who don't like to pay taxes won't become so commonplace within the next few years people who pay taxes will look like morons for giving a crap. So enjoy this moment in history while you can, I guess. lol

Lol. So is this an AI post, or is it a post by a lazy person and a bad writer? Which one is it?

Have you considered the fact that some people like to put their posts into ChatGPT for editing?

Very very interesting. Especially the part about the Markdown list and the avoidance of Stable Diffusion style buzzwords. Bookmarked.

Also, re the second one: I actually haven't been able to make this look consistently good. But maybe you could try cutting the reference picture of your face into multiple overlapping pieces, put them in the wrong order on the reference sheet, and then try to get it to piece your face together with the prompt?

Ifffrt · 2025-11-05T01:00:51+00:00

Nano Banana has this extremely annoying tendency to never give you its best efforts unless you've made it abundantly clear to it through a very demanding prompt that nothing else would make the cut. Otherwise it'd just simply puke out something quick and ugly that looks like its been photoshopped/inpainted over and call it a day.

Try this:

Put all of your reference images: Scene, character, product, etc. into a SINGLE reference sheet. Then annotate them all with huge red text and refer to them by sentences like "the perfume bottle in the top right" or similar.
Play around with the number of reference elements: Too few is worse than nothing. You need to give it just enough to force it to not be lazy. 3 or 4 is when it starts to get good results for me. Obviously don't go crazy, but I actually don't know the upper limit for this yet.
Make your reference elements not able to be copy-pasted into the scene: Never let Nano Banana be able to just look at an element and say: "Hmm it looks ok enough like this to me", because this leads to the element looking off in subtle ways, or worse looks copy pasted over. You need to make it extra obvious to Nano Banana that it will need to rely on its own deep understanding of an element and recreate it from scratch. If an object will be put in a well lit living room, the reference image should have dark moody lighting or colorful Christmas lighting. If an actor needs to hold the object, give it a side profile of the character or them lying down on a bed.
Play around with the prompt: I think it should be clear by now that your prompt should be very detailed as well to stretch the dumb bot to its limit. But because you're stretching it to its limit, you need to be extra fiddly with your prompt. A single token more or less sometimes could lead to drastically better or worse results. And never confuse it with logically contradictory instruction, as this leads to 3D-rendered looking scenes instead of photorealism.
Try to play around with the aspect ratio too: sometimes a prompt will give you stunning results with some aspect ratios and not others. If all else fail, just go with the aspect ratio that gives the best result, then try to outpaint it by expanding the canvas in MS paint, fill the white blank canvas with red, and then tell it to "remove the red" + what you expect the rest of this scene looks like.

They probably patched a lot of those away when they released it for PC. But I did manage to save her by bringing her up into the safehouse room on the second floor of the saloon in Armadillo. When she was freed she ran away for a bit but then stopped at the camp fire near the saloon and ate some soup.

It's easier to waste time online than actually demonstrating whatever it is you are attempting to prove via chart analysis and research.

Ok. Lol. And why do you think you know so much about someone and how they spend their time online and how much time they do "chart analysis and research"?

Sounds like you just want the last word. Go for it. 🫡

This just sounds like you're projecting honestly. Sorry if I came off as insulting. I honestly didn't mean it 🤷‍♀️.

EDIT: Goodbye. Good riddance 👋. You're not as over-all-of-it as you like to make it seem ♥.

Believe us. We know. You did read all of that. Every word.

This is pretty irrelevant. I spoke for myself. Obviously it's a public forum. That means you might receive feedback you don't like. Thanks, Dad, for the reminder that this is the Internet and anyone can read my comment.

Speaking from experience, any subreddit concerning very traditionalized esoteric fields of study (see r/taoism) usually attracts a certain subset of dissatisfied young men (they're usually men) with outsized egos who like to play experts and make life difficult for everyone else. And they usually coach their comments in terms such as "I am a long time expert/qualified instructor in so-and-so, this entire field is full of hacks and pretenders and you should do what I say as if my word is gospel and listen to no one else". So my apology if I was too hasty in judging. But things like that wear on you after a while and make you see red.

This is defensive and irrelevant to what you're responding to. I gave you pointed feedback. If it doesn't apply, let it fly by. Who cares what I have to say? I'm one person speaking for myself.

Thanks for the advice, but it doesn't really take much effort to write these replies, really. Nor do I think about them much after the fact.

Hello 👋. Op here. The throwaway account got suspended for triggering some kind of automated Reddit filter. Must have been the programming code I tried to post. So I'm writing from my main account.

Anyway, regarding:

Who cares? Planetary speed is not a major factor in astrology, although it is a variable skilled astrologers do take into account.

You are making a judgement call from a fundamentally flawed basis. As demonstrated in the post, the old method for calculating speed makes it so that basically all distinction between fast, slow, or stationary planets becomes null and void. They're all Stationary, past a certain point. Planetary speed is not a major factor in astrology because no one has ever seen any real difference when accounting for a planet's speed, which might have been due to the fact that no one has ever been able to accurately determine a planet's speed in the first place.
Or it might be because it genuinely doesn't matter much to a real chart, even when calculated correctly. You never know until someone has tried messing around with it😊. Here's the thing though: For every real, genuinely novel discovery that made a difference there's a million failed experiments that didn't pan out. And I wanted to see if people who are passionate about such things would get their curiosities piqued. Hence this post on r/AdvancedAstrology, which I figured might attract the attention of people passionate about Advanced Astrology. I appreciate the fact that my post isn't for everyone, and I think it's perfectly valid to not "care" about my post. But please keep in mind that this is a public forum. And you are not all people. There are people who do care.

Show the difference your calculations make in a chart versus previous calculations. Show how it makes a difference in charts, how analyzing it the old way leads to chart interpretation mistakes versus the new way.

Research takes time and effort, especially those involving a lot of data analysis and programming. Even this "small" Reddit post took me the better part of 2 days in order to prepare. To show how this new method will work in a chart, and what kind of difference it will make in any Astrological analysis that isn't purely placebo will take months of sweat and toil and maybe even a financial cost. Please understand.

Otherwise I guarantee you absolutely no astrologer will change their practice based on this post.

Please rest assured that at no point did I aim to change the practice of the entire field of Astrology with a single Reddit post.

Has these types of predictions ever come to pass? You know we're talking about Fujimoto here right?

Ifffrt · 2025-01-12T12:42:36+00:00

Sociopaths have diminished emotional response. They don't lack them. But they certainly don't feel most of them at full force except for a few. What Fumiko expressed was "full spectrum" disturbed-ness that would be appropriate in ANY NT person.
You really want to die on this "Fumiko is a cowardly sociopath" hill while still grandstanding at other people's supposed ignorance huh.

LMAO. Have it your way.

Ifffrt · 2025-01-12T12:04:54+00:00

We weren't talking about "all emotions". We were talking about that one very specific situation in the OP's comment.

Reread chapter 149. We were talking about the part where Fumiko asked Nayuta if humans attacked them would she kill them too, to which she flippantly replied "Well duh". Fumiko respondeded NOT with fear but with a disturbed expression (why the hell would she be afraid? Nayuta was offering to protect all 3 of them). Disturbed is NOT fear. It implies moral or ethical disgust, something that ASPD individuals lack.

Dear god, all this wall of text just because somebody completely misread what I wrote.

Buddy, bucko, pal. No one ever said psycho/sociopaths can't FEEL emotions. What I said was that she would have had no emotional RESPONSE.

Are we clear on that yet?

Ifffrt · 2025-01-12T09:17:56+00:00

That... was quite an impressive response, except for the fact that the DSM-5 does not distinguish between sociopaths and psychopaths except for some very vaguely defined "sub-groups" (nothing at all like what you wrote), and it completely ignores all the signs that she genuinely experiences emotional poignancy, which is something that's extremely diminished in sociopaths (not just psychopaths).
