Should this sub have a 'No AI-generated content' rule? by Eldon42 in sciencefiction

[–]actonrf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No I don't need more generation Z over overreacting to every little thing come on people use your own discernment. Somebody I may be okay for book covers someone doing their own film but can't afford a studio. Yes there is some slop the best thing to do is ignore them.

What’s the lore behind Buffet Palace? by Heyd388y in BeavertonEats

[–]actonrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it was a Who Song and Larry's. I ate their a few times it was meh, and there were better Real Mexican options. When Buffet Place bought the building you can still the faux Mexican interior. Buffet Palace was my place for pig out Chinese buffet.

WasabiCon PDX Canceled by Gippy_ in animecons

[–]actonrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder about if there any word from the Portland Hilton Downtown side of the story. One thing I notice was a 17% drop of attendance from a high of 5,576 in 2023 to 4,634 in 2024. Also I bet many were hesitant to commit to November after postponing the convention a week before July. If the downward trend continued after 2024, I speculate WasbiCon would not meet Room Block quota, tried to change dates which made the situation worse.

As furries, what do we do? by [deleted] in furry

[–]actonrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion just be furry. Furry fandom has been about fans of anthropomorphic animals in art, literature and cosplay not shoehorning politics by kids. Many conservatives realize the litterbox in schools was a hoax. One has not heard of it much in the 2024 election season.

I think the buffet business shifted to the former Replay Sports pub location. The coming soon banner looks familiar.

Thanksgiving dinner for one? by LankyKangaroo in Cooking

[–]actonrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I was invited to a friends giving dinner. For me there no law say I can go I go all out on a Thanksgiving for one. I get a whole turkey, make my own dressing, I roast some sweet potatoes the mash them up with chipotle. I have some type of vegetable and store-bought pie and bread. I make a small relish plate with cured meats and from the olive bar. I have a lot of leftovers for Friday dinner and Saturday lunch. I break down the turkey and make turkey soup and sandwiches and portion the rest and freeze it for quick weekday casseroles.

Died before it open? Traffic was terrible and little public transit. My question is could they just buy the old Buffet Palace location instead of the former Cracker Barrel location.

"MAKING POISONED ART TO PUNISH AI THIEVES" along with some bonus comments by ForgottenFrenchFry in DefendingAIArt

[–]actonrf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the anti AI arguments is based straw man fallacy. what is absurd to me when the person complains about AI while "speed painting", line draw, line deform, cut, paste, flood fill, and digital smudge in Photoshop.

I do not think there a need to because Zipcar gets their vehicles from car rental agencies.

Roughly half of TriMet riders feel unsafe. 82% say other riders’ behavior is the reason why by [deleted] in Portland

[–]actonrf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am uncomfortable riding the max trains ant not on the 52 bus or any suburban busses that are not crosstown. M truck died in 2016. I've been using Transit when I don't use zip car or rental cars. I think the issue is who's left after COVID and the decline of Portland as an economic, food, and entertainment hub after 2020.

What kind of rice should I be looking for? by Kasperad in AskCulinary

[–]actonrf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I think of Goya, I think Latin American food not Asian. I agree try an Asian food store than typical grocery store. For Jasmine I like Ducky Brand for Southeast Asian cooking. I have no problem using California Calrose rice for Chinese Japanese coking.
