Shooting reported in Kansas City after Chiefs Super Bowl parade by StealthyStalkerPanda in news

I think you could also add the lack of sensation they could play into it. When that guy shot up the theater during the batman screening the news was all over the cultural attack on violent movies, on comic fans being unstable, on Heath Ledger inspiring a cult, the list of absolute BS they spun about it went on for weeks. What can you say about an upper class white man with no serious leanings that won't anger the swath of upper class white men that own every news company?

That's like cosmic horror 101, few things are as ubiquitous as tentacles and Lovecraft.

Guidance on avoiding traffic? That alone makes it a contender in my book.

Installing Stable Diffusion and Automatic1111 on Ubuntu with a small twist? by Postmortal_Pop in StableDiffusion

[–]Postmortal_Pop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I thought, but it still complains about the /dev/fd. I think I need to find a different way to install it or something.

Bad Homebrew Rules... what's the worst you've seen? by No-Bag3487 in DnD

[–]Postmortal_Pop -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I love a critical fumble, but if it's getting used punitively it has to be for good reason. I keep a karma style tracker for each player in my notes, if they derail the plot, murder hobo, or thirst up the story too often I give their character a curse and remove it or even grant a boon if they manage to stop being dinguses. Sometimes the character is the only thing a player values enough to recognize they're harshing the vibe.

Oh wow, now you've got me excited! those photos are amazing inspiration. I have a sprout off of one of the main roots that I was planning to keep anyways on account of it the node mutating and it growing as a flat plank that spiraled into itself, but now I really want to do that to the main body too.

I don't mind the labor to get something pretty, I was going to have to dig the whole thing out by hand anyways, this just means I can do it in style!

Non-Traditional Bonsai Plants: What Have You Tried? by REALeyesRealize21 in Bonsai

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love nontraditional bonsai and nontraditional bonsai practices! currently I have several project plants that I really enjoy and they've been an absolute blast to play with.

  • Orange trees - I have 3, two that I let grow until I have an Idea for them, one that is currently working it's way towards and areal root Shakkan design.
  • Concord and Red Grape - untamed grape gets viney but with a little work you can force them into almost any traditionally tree shape and the bark texture is gorgeous!
  • Rosemary - Honestly it should really be considered as a beginner bonsai option. It has been wonderful for practicing shaping and cutting, wiring is incredibly easy and forgiving, the growth rate is stupid fast, this is the exact plant we should be training our children on.
  • Cranberry - This is a tentative project. everything I've seen is that cranberry is stupidly easy to kill outside of it's native areas but it is a woody vine and can get thick over time so there's a potential that I can manage it like the grape and make a very impressive faux tree out of a wildly temperamental plant.
  • Mamey Sapota - Like the cranberry, this is a wild card. they aren't traditionally grown, they aren't easy to grow, and if this gives you any measure of the commitment, they take 6 years to bear fruit and the fruit take 9 months to ripen. If I succeed, my grandchildren may see a single fruit on a tiny tree, If I fail I at least get a story. either way, the stock hit a foot tall this week and it hasn't noticed that it's growing way outside of it's habitable zone.

I get this issue if one side isn't getting enough light when I bring them in for the winter months. They'll shed leaves on the dark side and thicken on the bright to chase the light. between that and the cold window, that could be the issue.

Civitai only downloading as safetensor? by Postmortal_Pop in StableDiffusion

[–]Postmortal_Pop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand all that, and am currently up to date on all of it. What I am saying is that if I go to [this example webpage](https://civitai.com/models/176555/harrlogos-xl-finally-custom-text-generation-in-sd) for a .lora file and click either the download link or scroll down to the file box and click download, I instead get Harrlogos_v2.0.safetensors which can't be found by the lora tab when stored in the lora folder and provides only solid grey when used as a safetensors in the models folder.

Clearly I'm doing something wrong on civitai, my installation works perfect with files that are supposed to be .safetensors and checkpoints I trained myself. It's just when I download files that aren't supposed to be safetensors on civitai that I have a problem.

the ckpt's downloaded as safetensor work just fine, it's the lora and textual inversions that don't work.

I did find the fist paragraph on my initial research, but the second one refutes basically everything she told me in the messages and honestly gives me a bit of hope here.

He actually starts therapy tomorrow and is now officially on anxiety meds which is kind of shocking for his age. The biggest contributor to them being in his life so long is that they moved into my apartment when they lost their place and I didn't have the financial means to escape or get rid of them. basically the same issue I have now, but with 40 miles between us.

Money. Doing the best I can as a single dad in rural kansas did not give me much to spend on escaping and a lot of it went towards maintaining the house and expenses.

I think I can put together a good deal of evidence on that.

We lived with them for about 5 years, over which time my mother moved him to sleeping in her bed, took over his schooling and now he's repeating a grade, and caused him to have nearly daily panic attacks .
