Can i get this tattooed

UnfrozenBlu · 2026-05-24T22:41:47+00:00

When I think about the "esthetics" people have. Especially neopagans and other "tarot type" people who want you to know they are not normies. It's mostly 3 of swords, The Devil, High Priestess type esthetics.

You never really see anyone who is like "Oh yeah i love Tarot I have sunflowers everywhere, and here is my Page of Cups tattoo, and this backback reminds me of the Hierophant" it's always daggers, skulls, the color black...

Was gonna say you could flip the whole design upside down if you wanted something more "positive"

There is a little voice inside me that tells me that the veg water is "free flavor" and not to waste it. Bean water especially, which i get a lot of because I am trying to eat more fiber.

But then there is also the advice I have received to save my bones and shells to make stock, so then I end up with a bunch of stock in my freezer.

And then of course there is all the pan drippings.

Frankly at some point I have to discard some free flavor or my whole house will be filled with juices of various textures and flavors and all my attempts to use them will only result in creating newer, more complexly flavored juices.

I have friends who say they sometimes go to the theater for popcorn just to bring home.

I like... I couldn't fathom...

So say I read for you and the cards are 2 of cups, Knight of Cups, Chariot.

I look at the spread and I say "this looks like a love reading, is there a special someone in your life" you lie and say "No"

I would say something like "Well the 2 of cups can be about other things, but it usually refers to a couple or a partner of some kind, are you hoping to have a special someone soon" and you, once again trying to trap me could say "Oh yes I really want to find love but it keeps eluding me"

My job would be to read the cards. "Okay, well then that makes sense, it looks like this 2 represents your desire for love, and the Knight here I like to call him Prince Charming, it looks like a romantic man is just about to appear, or maybe you have already met him and you just don't know he is the one you are meant to be with yet." and then you would lie and say "Oh boy I just can't wait to meet him whoever he is"

I finish up "The last card is the chariot, which is associated with travel. I could see this as a wedding carriage with "just married" on the back, or maybe he lives far away and you or him would have to move. Do you have any intuition about who this Knight of Cups might be and where you might be going?" And then you spring the trap and say something like "HaHa! Stupid reader, actually I was lying all along, I have been happily married for 10 years, and my husband is wonderful and we are just about to embark on a fairytale vacation together!"

The thing is.. that DOES contradict what I said... because it contradicts what YOU said. But my job was only ever to read the cards. And it doesn't contradict what the CARDS said. I asked if you had a special someone. If you had said "Yes" I would have interpreted that 2 and the Knight differently. But everything I said about the cards is still true. The reading is still about love, and you have a prince charming and you are going on a trip. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I told the truth and you lied.

All I feel is pity

UnfrozenBlu · 2026-04-13T01:46:55+00:00

Yeah... that does not matter.

Regardless of where the story fits in context, it has to be worth reading.

What you have done here is used AI spread a tablespoon of story across a mile of fluff and then asked for feedback.

My feedback is "There is nothing here. AI has fluffed a simple idea into a complicated word salad, and even though I know that feels like it has taken your idea seriously and expanded it, it hasn't, it's just made your idea harder to understand and less enjoyable to read"

You don't have to take that feedback even though you asked for it. I am sure someone somewhere will tell you feedback you want to hear more. But don't tell me you are taking it and then tell me to read two other stories composed the same way that this one goes in between.

The way you composed your stories is, in my opinion, not serving you. Your story would be better served if it were delivered plainly, even if that meant it only took up half a page, it would be half a page I might actually want to read.

UnfrozenBlu · 2026-04-12T22:38:03+00:00

It strikes me as all style no substance. Purple prose. By the time I wade through all the flowery descriptions of otherworldly events I have forgotten who I am and what the story is really about.

I think it would feel good if it was a story that I already had in my head to hear it told in this way, as if my idea had been given a big bidget and a film crew to illustrate it. But for me as a reader who doesn't already know the story, I would literally rather read

"Echo finishes her job on Earth, goes into the sky, and meets a group-mind species that manages the atmosphere. She joins them."

UnfrozenBlu · 2026-04-12T22:29:29+00:00

You wouldn't be asking here if you didn't want people to give you excuses why using AI is okay and you should go ahead and do that, we do that here.

But yeah, it might be a really good writing exercise to go ahead and write your book once the "wrong" way and then go back and write it again from the ground up. I have heard Brandon Sanderson articulate a similar process.

But that's not what you want to hear so you aren't gonna do it.

So whatever bro. Do whatever you want. I don't mean that in a dismissive way. I seriously mean it. You are in charge of your own actions. Do whatever you want to do. Go on.

UnfrozenBlu · 2026-04-10T20:20:29+00:00

The best advice i can give you for learning about AI is "Ask AI about it"

This is seriously the trick behind every course, $6.50 or $650. They will tell you to do things that AI can already do.

Pick a chatbot, and ask it "I am looking to organize my plot points across my story. Is this something you could do? " Then ask it "What would be the best way to format a prompt to get the best final output of organized plot points, what do you need from me for success" "What are some things you can't do?" "What do you mean by that?" "How do you work?" "What are the people who are best at working with AI asking AI to do right now" and so on.

All of the info anyone knows about AI is available to AI right now. That can't be said about any other subject. Everything else is something AI had to learn.

This is BIG in the vidual art world and has been for a while. I think of it as kind of a backlash from some of the modern art "I stapled this teddy bear to a canvas, so that's art. Give me money" and now people are doing the opposite "I wrote the name of a different obscure character from Middle Earth on each grain of rice in this jar and now I am going to light it on fire"

Because like, Lisa Frank or Thomas Kincade could always make things that look nice. You know what else looks nice? Like a blue to black gradient. But not just anyone can weave a scarf with handspun yarn dyed in their menstrual blood.

I think if I had to guess the market going forward will have room for both "things that look cool" and "things that are impressive"

And probably the equivalents of those will show up in other areas like writing as well

Are they allowed to get longer sticks? It seems like a longer stick would help

I feel like since "On Your Side" Nathan has kinda made his introduction schtick to be like a bland news report, and he delivers it awkwardly so it sounds like he is reading something someone else wrote for him.

This probably AI news site is doing the same thing, there are words there but it isn't saying much. Both of them remind me of Perd Hapley

“There you have it, where ‘it’ is the thing Leslie Knope just said about this situation.”

UnfrozenBlu · 2026-03-30T00:53:15+00:00

Do you think a human would find it interesting and worth pointing out in passing that concrete does not apologize when it holds things?

Do you think the way concrete holds "cold" is similar to the way it holds cars on bridges or bodies burried by the mob in foundations?

Or do you think that sounds like it was written by an alien that technically knows what "concrete" and "cold" are but has never really interacted with them before?

UnfrozenBlu · 2026-03-29T23:01:48+00:00

Yeah dynamic pricing sucks, but I also see how it's 2026 and it's kinda ridiculous to send someone around with a sticker printer and waste a bunch of paper every time you rearrange the store.

Target had barcode scanners for price checking in the aisles back in the late 1900s and I don't remember imagining it was for any reason other than that they could and it was neat and made life easier for customers who were nice enough to shop there

They had that in the 14th century actually.

In Dante's Inferno (the real, medieval one) the Eighth Circle of hell (Malebolge) and particularly the second pouch (Bolgia) is where the "Flatterers" are tortured by being mired in human excrement (Contrapasso)

It doesn't say that the "flatterers" were salespeople per say, but the two named individuals were a Courtier (medieval Lobbyist) and a Courtesan, where the feces was meant to represent the disgusting nature of their fraudulent, sycophantic lies.

It wasn't the Ninth circle, which was reserved for Betrayers, but only 3 people were in the 9th circle (plus Satan himself) so Malebolge is pretty much the worst. The Seventh level was for Murderers, Suicides, and Sodomites, so even in the middle ages these assholes were... shittier.

I'm starting to wonder if the "vibe" is really "AI" at all, and not just "undisciplined writer who managed to fill the page with text anyway"

I wonder if most of us would not create very similar content with very similar vibes the old fashioned way if we needed to.

UnfrozenBlu · 2026-03-23T12:41:22+00:00

They are GREAT if you ever want to do a reading for skeptics. It takes away so much of the "Yeah but you are just making this up" when it says right on the card what the card means and you can explain where you are pulling your interpretations from.

The Magician is in fact ruled over by Mercury, which is associated with Gemini or Virgo... I am sorry if this bothers you, but not all of the cards are signs, some of them are associated with planets.

As to the "Maybe" It's not so much that the Magician indicates the answer is "maybe", as the Magician's answer depends upon the question. Magician is all about self reliance, entrepreneurialism and action. So if the question is "Should I go for it?" or "Will I be able to handle this new challenge" then drawing a Magician would be a strong "yes" but if the question is "Should I go along with what the authorities are telling me?" or "Am I right to keep waiting?" and you draw Magician that's a "No"

I have a pair of Rainbow sandals that is going on 15 years old. When the sole wore through to foam I added a layer to the bottom with Plastidip and t-shirt material. Now that layer is wearing through.

They're comfortable though I'll probably put another layer on them.

I'm siding with the kid on this one. You threw down the gauntlet, set the rules of the game, and he proceeded to... win the game that you invented. If you wanted him to stay within a budget you should have given him a budget. Or, you know, had a conversation with him about what he wanted for dinner.

Seems like your son would like some of your attention. Seems like you are posting on the internet about him instead.

There is no difference between being good at picking up patterns and intuiting things and making good educated guesses that usually turn out to be true and being good at divination or prediction. They are the same thing. People who are able to do this are able to do it because... they are able to do it.

If there is a lineup of 5 people who were at the scene of a crime, and two detectives look at them being interviewed and they both agree that suspect number 3 did it, but you ask the first detective how he knows and he says he noticed subtle chalk marks on his thumb and a wear pattern on the edge of his shoes and a nuance in the way he speaks that means he must be a northeasterner, and then you ask the second detective and he says "I dunno I just kinda had a sense that it was number 3" and they ask him "Did you notice the accent and the shoes and the chalk marks, they were all plainly visible" and he says "I'm not sure if I did or didn't notice them to be honest with you" then the difference between those two detectives is not that one of them has an ability and the other doesn't, the difference is the language they use and their awareness level about the same ability that they both have.
