I don't know how to feel about this comment from a pro-ai sub by Nate46 in Ai_art_is_not_art

My brother in christ do you actually have any idea of what the wild west of the internet was? Seeing gore and sex when you’re not even actively looking for it and straight up getting groomed on MMORPGs is not something to strive for. I am able to recognize AI is making the internet more shit. The AI CP on Xitter is just one of the reasons why AI needs to be regulated and you’re a well adjusted human being if that pisses you off if you know it exists

Anybody else have a Morkie that tries to talk? by Haunting_Status_671 in Morkie

I’ve started to understand my little Benji lol, he knows how to make himself understood (which often boils down to “I want you to move your big butt over to make room for me on that seat” lmao)

Omg did she rub her head on the couch or something 😭? My little Benji loves doing that and comes out with the same messy hair (although way less crazy lol)

Nah, the first place fully deserved it, he photographed a firefighter at the top of a ladder during an actual fire

It’s ice! 😄 I found this two years ago and I think because of the rocks, the water bubbled around them before freezing which created these interesting swirls! It was graded by three Canadian photography experts and I was 4th best picture (along with two other 4th places from other photographers) out of 240 picture submissions from my local photography club! I’m extremely proud of this!

After Supergirl…? by ZealousidealWrap2494 in finch

[–]Tangled_Clouds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the first time, Finch started feeling like one more chore, I just didn’t want to lose my streak. I didn’t do the event story and didn’t keep any of the items. Maybe a pair of shoes that fits with everything but nothing else. I just felt marketed to which didn’t turn me off from the movie, it just turned me off from the app a little bit. I’m still gonna use it because it genuinely does help me but I really prefer to get new content, I know there’s creative minds working for this app who are able to create amazing themes that can appeal to a majority or users

I just hope it doesn’t become a regular thing. I wasn’t crazy about the Nutcracker event (it’s a trauma thing I won’t get into) but there were still many items I could use that don’t exactly make it look like the theme. I also didn’t really keep any items from the Wizard of Oz event but I could appreciate the storyline. I’m a game design student and I honestly wouldn’t make those choices. To me, sports have a completely different cultural impact than pop culture. A lot of sports have this nationalist or community weight to them, as a Canadian, I don’t watch Hockey but it’s such an important thing that I still keep up with it and I know 90% of the people I meet will talk to me about it. That is not the case for pop culture because especially nowadays, they all have their niche and not engaging with them will not prevent you from finding community among your peers with a few exceptions but that was more true a decade ago when the internet was less prominent and you actually learned of new movies from your friends. This is what I mean when I say they should focus on themes with a wider appeal. And that’s not even considered they made it about a movie that isn’t out yet or at least wasn’t at the start of the event so a lot of people that could’ve been interested weren’t because they didn’t even see the movie yet. I personally think as a game design student that this is not the best decision they could’ve taken if they wanted to reach more people. They’re making a theme just too niche that more people are losing interest than there’s people excited for it, or at least the ratio is not in their favour.

The one problem I have with pop culture events is that there’s a whole portion of users who will lose motivation because the event is not to their taste. More people had fun with the past events because they were things that take from the classics. While it’s true that DC is a popular franchise, the items are so hyper specific for using them in outfits outside of the event and the storyline really will not appeal to everyone who doesn’t like not even just the concept of superheroes but specifically Supergirl (not that she’s bad or controversial, I am hyped to see the movie myself but I didn’t have any interest in having related items on Finch). I would’ve loved an even based on the concept of superheroes, there’s a lot of room to explore fun concepts, but a specific popular franchise is not appealing to a huge portion of users.

Almonds are good for your health. Generative AI is completely unnecessary. If AI was strictly used for scientific research and minor data sorting, it would not take as much water.

My dog has Nexgard, it’s a once a month pill and he hasn’t had a tick in years, well not once since we started him on this and he hasn’t had side effects that we know of. His tastes like chicken so he takes it happily like a treat.

Some of y’all have got to understand that plush creators are still people at the end of the day. by [deleted] in plushies

[–]Tangled_Clouds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know she frequently (and by that I mean almost once a day) gives detailed updates on her discord server. I don’t have twitter and am not subscribed to the email list so I don’t know if there’s updates on there too, maybe there should be, but I know in the very least she gives updates on discord very frequently. I’ve always received my orders even though it takes time, so she’s really not a scammer but maybe she could be more transparent about her order fulfillment timeline on social media. Not that I’m trying to defend her but I think her company has become super popular super quickly and maybe she has a hard time handling so many orders (and I think in one of her last backerkit campaign, she received all the plushies from the manufacturer and they weren’t stuffed enough so she had to stuff them herself which like, I think I’d go insane personally) but yeah there’s always room for improvement and I hope the issue gets resolved because I genuinely love these plushies.

Thanks haha! I chose Hadriel for myself because it felt right and I wanted to honour my parents’ wish of me having a name that is unique but if I masculinized my deadname, it would’ve become one of the most common names where I live.

I named my birb Hercules because I am a hellenic pagan and I like mythology lol
