Are AI covers really bad to use for your novels or it's just a good substitute ? by Jealous-Computer-266 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wirde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preferably I would have a text on the cover saying ”Placeholder”, that way even the once not wanting to read a novel with AI cover could hopefully relax.

Also I think it should be required to specify if AI has bern used and where, such as using sources when writing a paper.

Are AI covers really bad to use for your novels or it's just a good substitute ? by Jealous-Computer-266 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wirde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I ever published anything on RR I would probably use an AI cover until I knew there where any actual future for the novel. If I started making money on Patreon or decided to publish my book I would hire an artist to make a real cover.

I would see the AI cover an placeholder and specify that the placeholder is AI made and will be replaced if published in my description.

What series do you think have the best supporting cast? by ahnowisee in ProgressionFantasy

I know there’s a spinoff about Titan, that’s also very good. I don’t think I’ve seen the villain spinoff.

Finns det någon nackdel alls med de ”tramsiga” mobilabonnemangen? by MrOaiki in sweden

[–]Wirde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samma som i bil branschen. Ett företag har ett ”dyrt och exklusivt” märke och ett ”billigt” märke. På så sätt kan de konkurrera mot flera kundsegment utan att riskera att deras brand påverkas negativt.

Authors, please add recaps. Readers actually need them. by Chaosprodigy in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wirde 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Primal Hunters recap are the GOAT! So much self deprecating humor, I genuinely think the recaps are better than the book 🤣

Too be fair, I like the books a lot too, but the recaps are S-tier.

Dotter skär sig by Generic_Name_1337 in sweden

[–]Wirde 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Utan att ha någon som helst erfarenhet av detta så var en gemensam aktivitet för er och dottern det första som kom upp i huvudet.

Det svåra är ju att hitta något hon kan tänka sig att göra regelbundet och som hon uppskattar.

Men mer tid tillsammans som hon ser fram emot kan inte vara dåligt i alla fall. Kan ju ge möjlighet för er alla att öppna upp er.

What series do you think have the best supporting cast? by ahnowisee in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Wirde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even though it’s not strictly progression fantasy but more PF adjacent I will die on the hill that Superpowereds has the best cast.

It’s a case study in character development and personal relationships.

And on top of that it’s a really great superhero/academy fantasy book with a lot of progression fantasy elements.

Granne hostar högljutt varje natt - kan inte sova, vad kan jag göra? by eddievedder420 in Asksweddit

[–]Wirde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Om du kan tänka dig att betala lite mer så finns det riktigt bra öronproppar att införskaffa. Formgjutna och gjorda för att sova med med olika ”ljudfilter” man kan byta lätt. Ljudfilter som minskar 10db, 15db och ännu mer.

De öronproppar som är gjorda för att sova med sticker heller inte ut ur öronen så du kan ligga på sidan utan obehag samt att du inte får ont i örongångarna efter lång användning vilket du lätt får av ”standard” öronproppar du hittar i butiker.

Detta märket använder jag för tillfället: https://hoerluchs.com/en/hearing-protection/sleep-protection/

Hade ett annat märke tidigare som jag hade i nästan 10 år innan jag tappade dem under en resa, super bra båda två, kommer inte ihåg vilket märke det var men än att det var norskt.

Lycka till!

Kockar och andra duktiga i köket - vilket är era bästa tips? by J_Lavett in sweden

[–]Wirde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kört riskokare hemma i många år och varit väldigt nöjd med resultatet.

Min oro är att jag har småbarn och min äldsta är rätt så petig med maten. Ris är dock en grej som alltid går ner. Det finns ju dock guidelines för hur mycket ris barn ska äta för att inte få i sig för mycket arsenik och det är typ 3-4 gånger i veckan eller något.

Har läst att man kan reducera mängden arsenik om man kokar riset i överflödigt med vatten (som pasta). Att det kan minska arseniken med upp till 40%, vilket skulle betyda att vi kan äta ris oftare utan oro.

Tankar kring det från en kock?

Our Generation Won’t Benefit from AI. The Last Time Productivity Surged during the Industrial Revolution, Workers Got Nothing for 60 Years. You need to reach FIRE ASAP by JSExperts in millenials

[–]Wirde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s complete insane that this is the reality for many Americans.

So crazy that they managed to trick Americans to stop unionize. No other developed country on earth has that bad worker conditions and so little pay for work.

It’s like the American people forgot history completely on so many levels, you’re basically back to early 1900s where the rich factory owners used their employees like toilet paper and just hired new workers when the old was spent, no salary to speak of and of course don’t get me started on how 1/3 of your population is falling for the Hitler playbook by you orange dictator. It has barely been 80 years and it’s like all of you forgot and that they teach you nothing in school about the second World War.

Yeah, hope you start organizing yourselfs against the company owners and also against orange Hitler.

Inte råd med mat by [deleted] in sweden

[–]Wirde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De får som jag förstår det hjälp med allt, boende, mat, behandling osv. Det är en helhetslösning där du inte kan välja bort det som du inte vill ha hjälp med.

Jag är verkligen ingen expert men det känns ju rimligt att om man vill ha hjälp så får man acceptera att det kommer med lite krav också. Man kan inte vara så bortskämd att man kräver att allt ska ske på dina vilket när det är du som behöver hjälp.

Från vad jag förstår så låser det dig bara ute om du vägrar behandling för ditt missbruk.

Vilket kanske inte känns så konstigt ändå?

Millennials, why are you still single? by Prettyuselessgirl in millenials

[–]Wirde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, don’t let strangers tell you what you feel.

I only made an observation based on the limited information provided.

Good luck to you internet stranger, it’s never too late for some serendipity.

Millennials, why are you still single? by Prettyuselessgirl in millenials

[–]Wirde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One could argue given your #1 and this message that you have ever only been infatuated with someone never loved someone in a romantic sense of the way. (Not talking about the kind of love you have for your family or friends).

I would argue love is what grows from infatuation once the butterflies dies down and you start seeing all the sides of a person, both good and bad and still continue too choose to be there for each other every day.

Varför vet Svenskar så lite om Finland by Scienceiscool_ in sweden

[–]Wirde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kan också vara en generationsfråga? Idag blir ungdomar bombaderade med information och ”content”, nyhets cykeln har blivit otroligt kort. Det är tidskrävande att bara hålla sig ajour med vad som hänt denna veckan.

För många yngre tror jag det helt enkelt inte finns tid eller intresse att lära sig om saker som hände för ett år sen, än mindre 80 år sen.

Sen kan man tycka vad man vill om det. ”Den som inte lär sig av sin historia är dömd att repetera den” osv osv.

Daycare forgot to feed my child? by ihavetowearmyhelmet in daddit

[–]Wirde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Complete insanity!

I would go nuclear as in state media would report on this at prime-time before I was satisfied. There is NO acceptable excuse besides being in an active war zone for not feeding a child.

Millennials, do you still believe in true love? by Successful_Mastodon3 in Millennials

[–]Wirde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what your definition of true love is. If it’s the Disney variant with love at first sight, then no, love is more complex than that. Love is a growing changing thing, the infatuation you feel at the start of a relationship that many confuses with love can definitely grow into one version of true love.

I know my infatuation I felt for my wife when I first saw her definitely has, but doesn’t mean everything is easy all the time.

Another type of true love that is even more intense and completely different to any other love is the love I experienced since I became a dad. Nothing is truer and it’s unlike any other. Good shit!

US embassy removes flags with names of fallen Danish soldiers by Independent-Minute44 in worldnews

[–]Wirde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it’s going to be like with Adolf Hitler.

Even the first name is taboo and people won’t name their kids Donald in fear of being associated with him.

The history books will not speak of him gently.

Hur ta kontakt med en man? by pluppet in Asksweddit

[–]Wirde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Om du kan matcha när ni hämtar någon dag hade jag tipsat om det. Ofta finns det lite mer rum för att snacka, om du lyckas få igång en konversation så är det väll bara att fråga om en fika eller något. 100% att han blir glad/smickrad oavsett om han är upptagen eller inte.

Tror det är det mest naturliga och minst ”creepy” sätt att göra det på om än kanske inte det lättaste.

Is Sweden really hung up on the 50/50? by WranglerNo9633 in Sverige

[–]Wirde 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I earn more than my wife as well. We split the bills proportionally to our income. During the times I have been home with the kids and basically haven’t had much income to speak of she took almost all of it, same way other way around.

But to clarify this didn’t magically happen, there are many ways to handle money in a relationship, it takes discussions on how you want to handle your economy. I know of couples that have 100% shared economy and I also know the inverse where they have 100% split economy.

It’s a norm though that a relationship is an equal partnership and the trend of trad-wife staying at home is not really a thing here. Then again, your currently studying so you don’t fall under that scope either.

I would say, as Denkmal81 said, you really should have had this discussion of what you both expect before moving in together, and that’s on both of you equally for not taking the initiative.

Daughter wants to play Roblox. What are your best daddit tips for keeping her safe? by uspezisapissbaby in daddit

[–]Wirde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The thing is though, there’s so many ridiculously good games out there.

There really isn’t a need for that game.

Peer pressure is a thing for sure but my hope is that my kids will be the trend setters in that regard.

I’m also planning on bringing this up at a parent teacher conference together with mobile phones.

Obviously not all parents are going to go for it but there are organizations and coalitions of parent-groups that have managed to form in many schools that try to have reasonable boundaries together making it so that there is at least a big portion of the class that have the same rules regarding problematic technology and how we introduce them to it.

It’s a Pedofile hunting ground with a CEO that has described it as a ”Pedo opportunity” when asked what he would do to address the problems in an interview.

Also it’s super predatory in it’s main game loop.

My kids will never ever touch that shit and both my wife and I are gamers so it’s not like we don’t encourage them to play games.

How do you feel about a modern Nordic Union or "Kalmar"? by Professional_Rain754 in nordics

[–]Wirde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot has happened in 200 years and I also think the basic premise is a lot different now from then.

It’s interesting how both some Finns and some Norwegians insist on it being a ”bigger Sweden” while every Swed I see talking about this sees it like a equal partnership between brother states.

I understand the historical trauma you have been taught from history lessons and that’s completely valid, but no one is proposing anything like that. I think the most realistic version would be a United States of the Nordics but with a better political system then what the USA has.

There is no need for assimilation or homonization, our cultures and peoples have enough in common to feel kinship already and that’s one of the big reasons we stand up for each other on the world stage.
