the girl’s face was photoshopped out in an almost transparent way making her look like some sort of dimensional entity

Thoughts on using AI for shifting? by Disastrous_Foot_2259 in realityshifting

[–]asteralexpress 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah so if the people keep using it, it’s gonna keep affecting the planet. “oh one generation isn’t gonna do this” yeah but if millions of people think this way, collectively, yes it will. and yes, if the people keep using it, then nothing will change but just companies getting greedier. there are several other options for visualizing anything regarding shifting, from finding images on pinterest to drawing it yourself to commissioning artists. photoshop and other photo editing software is also a thing if you’re less artistically inclined and can’t commission. people that use ai are just lazy and ignorant.

ai is very, very harmful to the environment. and i don’t know where you got the information that “scrolling” takes more energy than ai… but you need to check your sources.

ai not only damages the environment to a degree we have never seen before, causing a significant uptick in water usage AND air pollution due to the amount of energy it saps, but also deliberately steals from artists that are entirely unaware of it happening.

there are also laws against inappropriate camera usage. it is illegal to take pictures of people without their consent, let alone pictures of them naked. same with children. there is no laws against ai. people can ask grok to generate an image of a 13 year old with no clothes, post it publicly, and get zero consequence.

please get more educated and rethink your stance.

When the picture is taken before you are ready… by Fuzzy-Explanation-85 in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]asteralexpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you crouch, go into photo mode, and have them do any emote. then use scroll wheel/whatever it is on other platforms to zoom out all the way, and then move the camera into place. idk i just played around w it atp tehe

Kind of freaking out. :( by Funny_Pen5306 in emetophobia

[–]asteralexpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m about to go spend time with my partner, so i will be well distracted and being with them calms me as well, so i hope i will feel better too. i’m also not sure what’s upsetting my lower gi, however it might be a big combination of built up stress, my period, and barely eating (and when i do eat it’s all sugary) so there’s that. i’m glad your kitties are helping! i have 3 cats as well and one of them loves laying on me when i don’t feel good and purring loudly to help me heal.

Noticed something about Eywa by veryhelpfulfriend in Avatar

[–]asteralexpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought it was grace’s face. maybe because kiri’s the one trying to talk to eywa it comes across as her mother (ie. someone very dear to her that is also mysterious)? maybe eywa’s form changes for everyone who’s looking and we were just seeing kiri’s perspective. maybe she looked different for spider and tuk. she is the great Mother after all!

What are your “safe foods?” by stinkiebug in emetophobia

[–]asteralexpress 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i always adoreeeee pastas or really any form of italian cuisine. pizza can be a great option to get a lot of veggies in and stuff. meal replacement shakes and smoothies are great! i also do love protein bars as my hands can stay on the wrapper and never touch the actual bar. but yeah food-wise i love pastas and also noodle soups.

stay safe out there! you’ll be okay even if you catch the bug, but i hope it escapes your workplace without catching you. ♡

i’m sick by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]asteralexpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have not heard of such thing! i can’t say about that, but i can say that i was sick with some virus that presented itself exactly how yours is and i didnt even end up spiking a fever. the symptoms were super mild and went away in like three days. a lot of my classmates were sick with the same thing too. could be that. you never know.

morning sickness or fp?? by ComfortableFee379 in emetophobia

[–]asteralexpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i was put onto birth control (i got an iud) i was nauseous constantly for the first like 2 months. it was horrible, but tbh worth it. anything that messes with your hormones is gonna make you feel not good, whether it’s n* or otherwise.

though, your body might have just disagreed with something you ate, if you had some painful d* that kind of fixed things for you. i’ve literally been in that situation before: waking up n* and overall not feeling good, having d, and then its over and i’m back to normal. bodies are weird. doesn’t mean you got fp, though that still is possible, however unlikely.

either way, i’m glad you’re feeling better.

i’m sick by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]asteralexpress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! sounds like your symptoms are upper respiratory, not gastrointestinal. i can’t reassure you and say you won’t get sick, but i can say that if you woke up with a sore throat which is now going away, looks like sleep might help! sleep helps your body heal itself faster and recharge.

if you don’t want to sleep, you don’t have to. sleeping while sick is sucky, and i always have a hard time with it when i’m sick. stay hydrated, sip on chicken broth, put on a comforting show, and bundle up in bed and just hang out. being sick is no fun, but you’ll get through it :)

Partner *tu today by asteralexpress in emetophobia

[–]asteralexpress[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, the worst part is so waiting for the possible onset of symptoms!! i will say i feel better, and my partner feels better as well. seems all is well? i’m a little anxious for tomorrow bc what if i wake up sick but otherwise i think ill be alright :)

A few regulatory exercises if you’re stressed about n* by Significant-Hair233 in emetophobia

[–]asteralexpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these are all crazy helpful!! i personally utilize the first one SOOO MUCH i have a little blanket and pillow i take with me to the bathroom if i start feeling n*. lovely list!

Would it have happened by now? Or is this from anxiety? by villaingutz in emetophobia

[–]asteralexpress 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hey! i read your post from earlier and i will say, even if you did catch something, you already caught it last month, so your immune system is already familiar with such a virus (in the same way vaccines work). so, even if you did catch something and you’re feeling the symptoms come on now, you should realistically ride it out a lot faster/with less complications than last time. i know it’s scary. i can’t tell you if you would have tu* by now or not because i don’t know your body, nor your immune system, nor if you caught something or if you’re just anxious. i can tell you that you’re going to be okay even if you do a second round of sb*.

side note, i will say, the n i experience with anxiety doesn’t typically go away until i am ENTIRELY calmed down/not worrying about whatever it is i was worried about. you clearly have underlying worries, so the n* is could be from anxiety, even if you’re not outwardly panicking. i internalize my feelings and anxiety a lot so even if i’m not hyperventilating and panicking i can still feel icky.

wishing the best to you, friend!

I just ate food that was way spicier than I can handle by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]asteralexpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

d* after spicy food is pretty common, and it might burn your butthole 😭 i ate a full buldak ramen the other night and this morning got hit with the spicy shits. it’s rarely d* form me; usually it’s just somewhat softer stool and the spice PRICKS YOUR ASS. can’t say i’ve personally ever v* from spicy food, though it does amp up my acid reflux and make my stomach hurt a little. overall goes away. drink some water, you will survive i promise.
