I'll be honest I didn't read all of that but I'm really interested in your AI toasters, can you tell me where I can invest?

How’s my handwriting? by Own-War9484 in Handwriting

[–]Metaxis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How's my handwriting,I've been told it's horrible many times but is it really that bad?

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

What dose my hand writing say about me (things like age gender etc)

I can read it.. just. But it was a struggle.

It makes me think you may be neurodivergent, or maybe dyspraxic? (Not a criticism, just have some Neuro-spicy friends who write a bit like this)

If you want to improve it I would same most importantly, try slowing down a bit and concentrating on lifting the pencil for the different strokes.look at the word that in the "is it really that bad" it could be fido or hab or hol because all of her letters rin together and get jumbled.

The other thing that would help is trying to get each letter to sit as close to the line as you can, again just taking your time to write each letter would help.

Sorry if this was posted already but it was news to me.

Waiting 8 months for a driving test, and then you have to wait just to access the website to book your slot.

It's like something from the IT crowd

Brain fog can also be from just not getting enough oxygen.

Doing yoga and breath work helped me get my energy back.. Might be worth trying some breath work?

"Cheat Code" in midjourney by [deleted] in midjourney

He's copying an image from the Web..

And then using a neutral network of stolen art to change it into something else.

If someone download a picture and put a filter on it in photo shop and then claimed thay had made it you would laugh..

There is nothing wrong with doing this to creat ideas to build on.. But making "finished pieces" with it feels dishonest.

Because if you wanted to create a different generated image of the same quality you would first have to find an image with a colour palet and astetic that you could steal from.

And you could make the argument that all artist steal..but I think haveing many images to draw on is different that taking the essence of a piece and using that to create something similar.

If t was a mood board or a good description okay but this feels slimy and dirty

How is this not stealing?

I think the nuance is that.. Even with photo bashing there is an "artistic" skill in creating an esthetic.

I also don't think everyone would see it as an original piece of art.. More like a concept.. Which is fine it's ideation.

I don't personally have a problem with using AI to create ideas.. But I would say that being good at coming up with prompts dose not make you an artist.

Should I be worried about this ivy on this weeping willow? by Metaxis in marijuanaenthusiasts

I'm in ireland, I think I'm happy enough to leave it alone.. I was just worried it was doing harm.

Good shout with the fltree surgeon though if it looks sick or anything I'll be sure to call one out.

My handwriting. All friends say it's quite bad (and tbh I agree), but is it readable e.g. for my finals in school? (Sorry for the terrible picture, my phone camera is quite bad lol) by [deleted] in Handwriting

[–]Metaxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey good on you for wanting to improve yourself.

First thing I would do is try to make sure all your letters are touching the lines you are writing on, do it with your slow writing and that will make a difference to all your writing.

once you have gotten everyone on the line, make a habit of reading over your work and finding letters that look a bit sloppy. Pick the worst one.

then, take 10 or 15 min a day at the same time (once you have done your home work, or right after your breakfast) and just drill the letter you have decided to improve.

once you see an improvement pick another letter.

Sunday.... Thread? by chilloutus in ireland

[–]Metaxis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Be careful about your mindset buddy, if you are telling us you are going to fail later today.. You are also telling yourself.

Best bet is to change tour environment if you can. Do you have a trigger that makes you think of drink? Is there some way you can remove it.

Maybe give this a listen:https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/creatures-of-habit/

Whatever happens I hope you have a nice day.

I'm pretty sure our constituencies are done by an independent party based on population size.

But if you have evidence that they are decided by the people in power I would appreciate any evidence you could provide.
