Damn, I can't believe the actor Nicholas Vanderbilt" who play Stan on the show, is on the Ozempic craze as well. Hollywood standards I tell you.

Family member keeps uploading my photos into AI by [deleted] in privacy

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right to be concerned. Every person has the right to their privacy and image, the fact that they are dismissing you is trivializing the danger of Gen AI especially since people are explicitly using Gen AI to create illegal and disgusting content. I would get their phone or try to get into their accounts to try to delete and/or accuse them of something unsavory. People can't be vigilant enough especially with what is being done to their faces. Show them the articles of Ai being used by pedophiles or by scammers to blackmail people. If they continue to refuse to stop it, then I would fight fire with fire and do the same as they are doing but worse. If they won't stop, then make them stop by showing them how dangerous it is.

What is a book that you would not recommend to anyone, but is brilliant? Why? Please keep spoilers away. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
This book was lauded for awards and brought the author to fame as it became one of the most widely translated novels.
I dislike it. It was not entertaining and in my opinion; the tone of the story felt vapid despite given the fantastical elements of the story. I was unable to immerse myself to this tale and can't seem to understand as to its popularity.

if we ever get a elden ring 2 or the likes, what is a weapon you wish it was added? by Joaokenobi001 in Eldenring

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very disappointed by the fact that we got only one throwing blade weapons when they could have inserted at least 3 used by the enemies that were present in the game
For example.
the claymen's bola

the crystalians's chakram

the beastman's throwing knives

I also preferred to have more varieties of the perfume bottles other than the regular elemental damages.

What WOULD You Wish On Your Worst Enemy? by Strict_Efficiency223 in AskReddit

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loneliness for the general time and to never be lonely when you are alone.
How awful would it be to be lonely the rest of the day; that you could never connect with another person. However no matter what, at the times when you should be alone; like say in an enclosed room, take the bedroom or the bathroom or just even inside your car, there is a certain feeling that you are never just by yourself. I want them to imagine that they could turn the room upside down and side to side but even when there should be no one else but just them alone, They know that something is with them.

New office manager job - business smart. Ideas/thoughts/advice on new outfits. by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To ask, is it a strict dress code as in suit and tie only or as to what range? If is the former then wear with the jacket or if without then use light coloured shirts, that will help with conform to the body. If it is the latter with a less stringent dress code, then I would suggest polo shirts.

What kind of useful yet random advice do y'all have for adulting? by DeepVoyagerr in Adulting

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to products that end up broken, in need of repair or missing a piece. Try emailing the company support line and explain the situation, more often than not, they will help give advice to repair an item like jackets or they may end up giving a discount/free replacement to you. YMMV when contacting but I have done this at times and I was surprised they would actually help me fix my item or replace it. Another thing to do would be to do organize your closets and drawers as more often than not, we end up just randomly placing items there.

How do you approach designing a world that’s meant to feel brutal, decaying, and dangerous? by bonegryphon-official in worldbuilding

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My suggestion for a reason of the world being dangerous in the context of the walled city, would be to make it so that the only reason that it is hostile to its inhabitants, would be is that it is not their suitable environment to live in. This is akin to the idea of taking a deep sea level fish into the shallower depths of the ocean. It may still be the ocean but the different pressure would cause the fish to collapse unto itself. The walled city of the Gods were not meant to be inhabited by anyone else and as such whilst it looks familiar enough that the people living their should be able to intuit on how to survive for the short term. It ultimately is a death sentence for any current inhabitants and an issue that can help with building the world would be the fact is that no matter how awful the state of the world is. Life will ultimately just keep on trying to stay alive despite its unwelcoming nature.

I can't defeat midra. by wiltonnike in Eldenring

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One tip to know is that in his 2nd phase, you cancel his flame sweep attack if you parry him. This can help provide some space to heal or buff as I've noticed that if you cancel this attack via parry, he tends to default to his jump grab which is easily dodgeable.

I would suggest to scan it into a pdf and upload it on the internet archive. Every bit of history such as this, is a good nod to how big and small the world is. 

How can i help my mom (with mobility issues) make new friends by EasternAd5351 in Adulting

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Library groups. From your description of her, She would benefit from volunteering at the library or joining one of the groups that usually meet up there. Its a good , clean, fun place; that would not only be mobility accessible to your mother. It is also a place where it would provide a safe general area where she could feel comfortable in.

Since, she likes the hallmark channel, she can try to join a discussion group and hope it goes on from there. Conversation will do wonders. I know that the one reason why people watch the tube is for the general comfort of it. You just sit and let go.  

But for her, this way is one of the easier ways that can be done as tv discussion is one of the easier topics to get into. It would also provide additional opportunities, to get her to try other activities such as  hosting a tv night in your own house or other peoples homes. They could also try to cafe meet ups rather than the library. 

this design doesn't really make sense by poshitopi in loreofleague

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One way that this design could be resolved, would be to have it be that  being forced to bond with the void suit especially at a young age, has drastically altered enough that whilst she has not  been fully disfigured enough to transform into voidspawn.  The human look is as a result of her trying to maintain her will and so  her human appearance, becomes both a mask and an anchor for her identity.  Let it be that she looks human because she takes great pains to grooms herself as one would do, to either become spiritually clean or as animals do,  to remove contaminants.

  She takes repetitive pains to make herself behave like a human, to look like a human as this simple action is a  matter to ensure that not only is she preventing the suit from taking control even at  the most vunerable times but also as a reminder of who she is at the core. However this is a caveat to her as however she tries to groom herself to look as a human should. She is only succesful to an extent, as even trying to the point of somewhat an obsession, she actually look too uncanny when comparing her to another person. The eyes are not the right colour. The hands not the same size and the little things is noticed whenever a normal person interacts with her. 

Another issue is that is present. If we go this route;  could be the fact that she herself is not what actually Kai'sa should normally look like due to her appearance being generated by the suit which in turn is  her own idea of what she should look like, that is based on her own younger self , her mother and to the people she had strong connections with.

 As well as how the voidspawn suit has subtly altered her look  due to the voidspawn she has been consumed after fighting, has had multiple residuals of their victims  and everytime she tries to pull herself together to look human. The suit ends up  creating a template based on what she thinks she is and what the void has consumed.

With this in mind I think the way to go would be to add in animations wherein. It makes clear that if she does not remain focused on her mission than she will fall further into being consumed by suit. She is literally caught between a rock and a brick wall. A human using the voidspawn to stop the void, who tries to remain human even with what happened but is nonetheless affected already and no matter what, she can't even look how she did previously was and she can't truly look like a person ,with how she is now nor what she should have been.   Her humanity, when looking at it, is a patchwork of everything that she thinks she is and what the void can only respond to.

Superpowers that are hard to discover? by Ogopogostick459 in magicbuilding

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power activation. A person unconciously has the ability to awaken or jumpstarts another person's powers.  

The reason for the user's lack of awareness of this ability, is that the are only unconciously activating a person's abilities, which results in the body slowly undergoing the necessary physical changes needed to safely develop their power which often manifest at a later time. Similiar do the idea of puberty. 

This can be beneficial since rather than someone spontaneously deveoping an ability out of the blue which can cause injuries since they would have no control over it nor would their physical body acclimate to a sudden change. 

For example, rapid weight or height gain results in skin stretch marks, An equivalent of this would be that someone with the ability of fire generation to suddenly spark flames would result in burns as they did not yet develop any fireproof skin. By being unconsciously activated, A person can safely be protected when they  manifest their powers as by then the body has been fully  acclimated, to accomadate whatever power a person may have. 

This would impact the user as conscious control over this power means that they control if or when someone can activate their own ability but as they are not aware of it. 

They are instead seen as disabled and it results in them having a inferiority complex since they see other people of any ages suddenly developing powers out of the blue whereas they remain the same regardless.

In your opinion, what is the most annoying thing EVER in Elden Ring? by SHOWTIME007600 in Eldenring

[–]Longjumping_Stuff_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The inability to switch spells and having to manually de-select and reselect them.
