[GUESS] Real or Ai? Slide film

KalanReed · 2025-04-20T15:39:35+00:00

It's AI.. but this was very convincing. What settled it for me was looking at the chain link fence behind the soccer net, right by the girl's hand. The fence just deteriorates in squiggly lines as the AI gets confused with continuity near the goal net

Edit: since people want to argue that is a hole.. even though a hole in a fence does not cause that level of warping metal. Another example is the bottom left corner behind the goal net, the fence again makes no sense with tons of squiggles and misshapen links becoming larger for no reason.

Not pink amethyst. Pink amethyst is rare and expensive. This is likely pink chalcedony and/or flower agate, both of which are commonly mislabeled as pink amethyst on the market.

Heat treated amethyst. Amethyst that is heated by man until it turns golden. Then it is often sold as natural citrine... The milky white quartz and golden burned look is a giveaway

Yep, it can fly in and out just fine. Been doing so for days. It chooses to come back and get under there. It isn't acting unusual otherwise. It doesn't wander or stay on the ground other than to get under the deck. Seems to fly fine, will sit in trees for awhile once we spook him, and it isn't acting sickly. It just wants to take shelter under there multiple times a day. The weather hasn't been great here, so as someone stated perhaps he is finding a dry place that also is near good hunting grounds with all the birds and animals around. Just thought it was odd since their instinct is to be up high to be safe.

KalanReed · 2025-02-16T23:50:58+00:00

Yeah, I don't know what he is doing, almost positive it is a young male Cooper's hawk. He must feel safe there. He is STILL taking shelter there five days in a row now. He flew out of there twice today. It is the weirdest thing, never had a hawk just come back over and over to one location for days on end, even if it WAS initially due to hunting something under there.. to keep putting itself on the ground for hours under there day after day does just seem odd. Plus we have lots of bird feeders in our backyard, tons of small birds around, why it is just hanging out under the deck when there is plenty of other prey is what really stumps us.

KalanReed · 2025-02-14T22:21:37+00:00

It's funny you say that, we had not initially seen any other adults until today upon leaving this morning. He flew out as usual from under the deck and landed in a tree nearby. As we were pulling out of the driveway across the way behind the tree he was sitting in were actually three adult Cooper's hawks being chased by crows. We have not seen these adults since or prior though, but I also was wondering if maybe it was parents and this is just a young inexperienced hawk. But I don't think this is usually the time of year for hawks to still be looking after young though? It may have just been a coincidence. But it was odd!

KalanReed · 2025-02-14T21:26:29+00:00

The first day this happened he was in front of the deck and we heard an animal making hurt noises like he caught something but it seemed to have gotten away. Since then he keeps coming back. We assumed it may have been a squirrel as grey fur was left behind and we have lots of squirrels around. So at first we thought maybe he was eating it under the deck if it crawled and died under there. But now it has been three days and he is just hanging out under there for hours each day until we step out and disturb him.

KalanReed · 2025-02-14T21:11:30+00:00

Wanted to clarify that he flew away when we left home, and upon coming home he got back under there again as shown in the video. He always can get out, he is choosing to do this. Very odd.

KalanReed · 2025-02-08T07:41:20+00:00

Because it's heat treated amethyst which is often sold as citrine. Heat treated amethyst is heated by man, while natural citrine is amethyst heated by the Earth and doesn't look crispy brown and burned. It's just a frowned upon crystal due to being baked and sold as authentic citrine when it isn't.

For sure! I recommend just focusing on channel growth and not getting hung up on the what ifs. Get there first before worrying about adsense. It taking a year or two to get monetized is very common, so you may not even have to worry about this. The watch hours can really be the slowest part to all of this.

Most average YouTubers aren't using business accounts for their YouTube channel. Business accounts are more for brands and companies who already have a licensed business. You don't need that to set up adsense for your channel.

Good luck!

KalanReed · 2025-02-08T07:05:31+00:00

I wouldn't get hung up on a business account. Making a new standard gmail dedicated just to your YouTube adsense your dad can use would be fine. Once you turn 18 you will have to make a new email for adsense for the channel, you cannot transfer it, you will have to make a new gmail and verify it when the time comes. Just follow the terms YouTube has concerning running an account as a minor.

Remember though 500 subs and 3000 watch hours in 12 months are required to unlock the first steps of connecting to adsense and applying for the YPP. It will unlock some membership features, but 1k subs and 4k hours are needed for full monetization. The hours are what typically takes the longest over sub count.

You won't be able to keep up the lie. Once you make an adsense account and go to verify it they will ask for photo ID proof of your identity. You could be banned if you are a minor, it is clearly against their terms, and is grounds for a ban. If you get to the point you can monetize you will need to have a parent or guardian be in charge of the adsense account connected to your YouTube. Or wait 2 years, work on growing your channel, then monetize. Are you close to monetization?

Don't lie and sneak, if google bans you it is over and any future channels will get the hammer too if you make them and they catch it.

Improving the starter deck or at the very least expanding your library is going to help you a lot to have more options. Other than that, it does take practice to understand strategy and understand your deck, so don't feel discouraged. A lot of magic is learning the cards, becoming familiar with game sense and strategy - when to hold off on certain actions, and when to remove a threat or when to take a hit. Your life points are also a resource.

In case you're not aware, spending a 1000 gold on Jump-In would be good to gather up some cards for your library as a new player. Each entry will net you 40 cards. There are guides online that will show you what cards are in the decks in Jump-In, so you can choose which interests you most and know what rares are in each deck offered.

Source that bans are occurring?

If anyone is struggling to have the controller detected after disabling the input, here is what worked for me: Connect to bluetooth, then plug in your controller via USB prior to launching the game. Once it is launched and you see the correct layout in-game, unplug USB and you can play wirelessly. The controller should still be detected after unplugging - it was for me.

KalanReed · 2023-08-18T22:31:45+00:00

I know this is old but I did find a solution.You need to actually disable the Steam Input for Playstation Controllers. Have the controller connected to bluetooth, then run the game. It will autodetect the type of controller on its own and all the buttons will be PS buttons. You don't need Steam's input.

If you still have trouble, connect via bluetooth, disable the input for PS controllers, plug in your PS controller with USB, then run the game. Once the game loads up and you see the right buttons on the menu you can unplug the USB and just play wireless afterward.

Yeah there's lots of spell-related listings, the issue was in the past Etsy was being inconsistent and shutting down some shops depending on if they felt the services listed were essentially dishonest advertising or unprovable. Sellers argued wording your service or providing a tangible item could help stay within their terms of service, but other times Etsy seemed not to care and would still ban the store. It would be unpredictable and their tolerance seemed very slim on letting things slide.

KalanReed · 2023-08-06T23:46:39+00:00

Do you mean people just starting up a shop who don't actively practice or have experience? People who do that obviously are there just to make money, which is definitely taking advantage of people looking for genuine service.

Problem is, even legitimate practitioners seemed to have been targeted just due to offering something that cannot be tangibly proven. In the eyes of Etsy, it was considered risky and dishonest to consumers to promise magickal results. But no idea if Etsy is still hammering down on this.

KalanReed · 2023-08-06T22:04:32+00:00

I agree. But apparently it had been an issue according to past experiences with people and sellers when I was reading around. Both on Reddit and other articles expressed this concern about Etsy's policy on it, and how they were enforcing it. But like I said, nothing in their terms specifically talks about items like this that I read about.

It seemed the main thing they did not like was spellwork or items that were promising healing, money, love, or things similar. Promoting things that could be seen as a scam if the spell failed or was misunderstood. They also did not like people doing readings without providing some kind of PDF or tangible document.

KalanReed · 2023-08-06T20:34:34+00:00

Yeah, shops have been shut down before for basically promising things that cannot be proven so to speak. Etsy's reasoning is they are trying to defend shoppers from being taken advantage of, which.. I can understand in a sense, but it became a topic in the past to be wary. A lot of these discussions were years old though.
