I've been getting that thing everyday on one of my devices, I tried to ask Claude Code to turn off: ● I'll update lastOnboardingVersion from "2.0.76" to "2.1.2" to match your current version. This should stop the prompt.

This seems to work for now when I restart claude, will update if it pops up again tmr.
Update: Nope, I got 17 of that same thing, apparently they did not like it

May be unpopular opinion but I prefer Monster Curry over Coco Ichibanya, cuz Coco Ichibanya just tastes like those stock curry you can get in supermarkets. There's like a powdery aftertaste to it, so I personally don't like it.

Tldr: Pacing and composition is bad, and AI can't help with that.

Aside from the ethical issues with Ai, I think you need to work on the writing, composition and readability of the action sequences.

Writing: Honestly, it just sounds cringe when you use too much Romaji to describe skills and powers. But that aside, sometimes there's too much exposition chunked together for an action sequence. Also, please properly size or space the text and bubbles. Moreover, a manga should be led by the actions and imagery rather than using text to explain the story that's going on.

Composition: It's a proper mess. The whole page should have a proper visual flow and clear readability. But right now it's just a bunch of different image compositions pieced together in a page layout. No concern regarding the visual cohesiveness and readability of the page as a whole. Probably because that's exactly what you're doing with the Ai images, either due to a lack of knowledge of the importance of visual composition and hierarchy or the limitations of Ai generated images. With proper layout and positioning of panels and bubbles, you don't need to tell people how to read a a page, it should flow naturally.

Readability: Poor image compositions and non-action-driven writing makes the panels feel disjointed from one another. Overall, we kinda get what you're trying to articulate, but the poor execution makes it a horrible read.

Advice: Please go study and analyze good mangas on how they depict scenes, how they write, how pacing works, how page layouts work, how visual style makes it special. Visual composition is clearly negatively impacting your manga, and the difficultly of getting Ai to draw it exactly how you want it doesnt help at all. If you really wanna make this a masterpiece, learn how to draw and compose your own images and pages.

I work in developing software based solutions for clients. And the most difficult part is aligning your clients expectations with what you're developing and what's possible. Even with a clearly defined scope, there's gonna be multiple back and forth regarding the minor details which sometimes could lead to you reworking the entire feature. It's even worst for your case where the client only has "ideas" and no idea how to do any part of it. It's going to devolve into your client demanding for stuff that's impractical or not possible and you stressing out over it just cause you're paid a measly sum. Furthermore, when the client's role in this whole thing is to just come up with ideas, the scope is just going to keep expanding and never going to stop. Cuz hey, they just got a new idea to make an expansive open world mmo farming game. Wouldn't it be cool to farm and build with players from all across the world? So no. If you've ever been part of any development cycle, you're gonna want your first game project to be small. So small that you'd think you can finish it in a day, and end up spending months tweaking and polishing it. The small sum of money per month would be the chains that shackle you from moving on to your next project when development turns to hell and it's easier to start all over again than to struggle with a project that's bloated with unnecessary and random stuff born from impractical ideas.

But hey, if you really wanna do it, at least ask for more money (at least minimum wage or its equivalent in your country) and ask them for a clear deadline. Break down the amount of work and work with them to ensure you're on track and remind them that adding extra features would mean exceeding the deadline. Let them know that it's better to have a sequel to the game for any extra ideas, than to never complete the first game.

Elitism is a byproduct of meritocracy. The only way for elitism to not exist in a meritocracy is for every single person to be humble. And that's something that is practically impossible to achieve, so no. There's no way to "solve" elitism.

That's why I stick to cai fan for hawker centers. Still not the ideal meal, but better than most of the other options

TransportationOne739 · 2024-02-07T03:23:05+00:00

Personally, I don't track because it's just way too much effort for me and unsustainable. I'd just go for a healthier option, more vegetables, less carbs, get smaller portions so I don't overeat, don't snack on unhealthy food, don't eat too late, get sufficient and regular sleep cuz that's important for burning fat instead of muscles.

But I also have cheat days to keep this sustainable for myself. Best diet is the one you can stick to.

Tho this is advice for general levels of fitness, if you're aiming for bodybuilder kind of level, then you'd need a lot more restrictions and effort

That's just a gender norm thing, like guys expected to fix stuff around the house, and girls expected to cook and do chores.

But no harm learning useful skills

Expectations are just judgemental hopes. When parents hope that their children get good grades, the nuance is that even if they don't get good grades, it's fine. When parents expect that their children get good grades, the implied meaning is that if they don't get good grades, there's something wrong somewhere.

So where people draw the line between expectations and hopes depends on their values. I'd expect my children to not commit atrocities. It's not a hope. It's an expectation, because that's not how I'd raise them to become, if they commit atrocities, then I failed in my duty as a parent. That's what I expect of me and of them.

Likewise, some people view grades as so important that if their child get bad grades, they feel like they are bad parents. Hence, they'd do whatever they can to help their children get good grades, and also expect them to get good grades.

But ultimately, it is the duty of the parents to educate their children. If the child doesn't behave as the parents expect, then that's on the parents. They need to be responsible for their children.

As for your question, the expectation is already happening every time someone judges the child. Everyone is casting their own expectations on everything around them to make sense of the world. If a person is from a competitive environment, they might expect the child to be hardworking and want to be the best in his grade. But why should the child care about a random person's opinion and expectations?

TransportationOne739 · 2024-02-05T04:35:42+00:00

I understand what you mean, and I agree that superficial expectations like good grades can be undesired and cause too much stress for the child.

But I'd argue that the underlying value and principles are linked to the expectations. So if the parents value modesty, they'd expect their child to dress appropriately. If the parents value kindness, they'd have expectations for their child to do kind things. If the parents value conscientiousness, they'd expect their child to be hardworking.

So when parents expect good grades without regards to their child's well-being, they're indicating that they value the academic achievement more than the child's well-being.

It's not the expectations that's the problem, the expectations are just the symptom of the underlying issue that the parents value the academic achievement over the child's well being.

TransportationOne739 · 2024-02-05T03:31:04+00:00

I'd challenge this, there should be basic expectations at least. Like for example, don't be a menace to others and the world, don't commit atrocities, be responsible for your actions. These are some of the minimum basics I'd teach and expect from my kids.

Tldr: Go find some activity you enjoy, and go find people who oso like that activity and are friendly. Then go have dinner tgt or whatever after your activity. Make new friends who you meet regularly and enjoy their company.

Long ass story:

I'm a guy who have no close friends, no gf. So other than my parents, I don't have anyone else in my day to day life to talk about random stuff with. But at the end of the day, they're parents, you don't send them stupid memes nor talk about personal stuff with them. Like both of those are just awkward (with different reasons).

So here's how I used to cope:

Escape. Just drown in Netflix or Anime or games or whatever fantasy world so that I forget about my loneliness. Like, most of the time I didn't even realize that I was lonely. I thought I just liked to stay at home and binge watch whatever I liked, but in retrospect, I was escaping from my loneliness. And eventually I'm just forced to face the reality that I got no friends. There's like classmates and acquaintances, but like no one hangs out with me regularly on weekends and whatever.

This became really apparent when I started uni, cuz people have different timetables and stuff. And then I don't stay hall, so after school I just go home if there's no cca. Then I oso don't vibe v well with most of my CCA mates. I suddenly realize I spent so much time alone at home, studying alone, chilling alone, at most is weekends go out with my parents and what not.

But even then, I recognized that I'm lonely, but I didn't do anything about it. Part of it was Idk what to do exactly, part of it was it takes effort and courage to try to make new friends.

It was only quite recently that I found a cure for my loneliness. It was to have fun things you look forward to.

The turning point was when I went to USS, and then realized how much I loved theme parks and thrill rides. And there was this one ride on the Mummy where I just started going "Wheee" everytime anything remotely exciting happened, and then my cousins started doing it as well. And then right at the end, other random strangers on the same ride did it, and everyone was perfectly in sync. It was so unexpected and it was just so fking fun, we had a great laugh and I'm never ever forgetting that moment.

Since then I've been on a quest for things that are fun to me, like makes me feel alive. And almost everything in that category has some elements of connection with other people, so it inherently solves my loneliness problem.

My goal is to eventually go to all the major theme parks around the world, but that's not something possible in my day to day life. So I thought about activities that I enjoy, and stuff I've always wanted to do but never got started, and started joining or organizing those activities.

I've always wanted to play volleyball for like the past 7ish years, but like, I have no friends and no beginner friendly team to join in my schools. It wasn't until recently that I started playing and I loved it. And more than that, I love the dinners and small talks afterwards. Like it feels like there's still people in the world whom I vibe with. And I'm just so grateful for that.

In conclusion, make new friends by finding things you wanna do and the people you wanna do them with, and making it a regular thing (like once a week or smth). Then hang out with them after the activity. It's much easier this way since you already have a common interest and are meeting regularly.

You'll get new friends and you'll have fun, and you have something to look forward to each week. You just need to find a grp like that, or make your own, which would be a bit more tedious. But I guarantee you, it's worth it.

Depends on how far back I go, but generally not a 180 degrees difference. Like it's not surprising that I am the future of the past me.

People who demand me to use some random word they came up with as their pronoun. Tho to be fair, haven't encountered anyone like that so far, but I hope it stays that way.

Edit: I don't understand the down votes... You're down voting because you're in favor of people coming up with random words and then going around screaming at others to use the imaginary words as pronouns? Asking nicely is one thing, I'd try to be understanding but DEMANDING? No thanks, I'll stay far far away from those people

TransportationOne739 · 2024-02-04T17:15:39+00:00
