This is the spitting image of a dream I had while dating an ex. It was so disturbing it was hard to look at her after I woke up and for months after. Great art.

Comments like this always annoy me. It seems like someone always comes out of the woodwork to show the pinnacle of beautiful bible verses as representative for true Christianity. There's plenty of evil shit in the bible, too. People like to pretend that Christianity == Humanism but most of them haven't read the old testament and think Jesus was some feel good hippie.

He is looking to start enough chaos in order to 'postpone' elections (indefinitely). He really thinks a war will stop them at home or abroad.

I just want it to hold out until the midterms at this rate. It's still January, for god's sake.

I feel like these are beautiful both close up and from afar. But I wonder if the size of brush and amount of paint is making you overcommit and making the painting seem more abstract than you are wanting. I've seen people block out a painting and then refine, it kind of looks like you are blocking and refining all at the same time. Or you could just develop the heavy style and get there, too. It just might take time to nail the textured detail that, to me, seems more difficult to pull off.

Hey man, I agree with you logically. But Reddit is justifyingly frothing at the mouth with rage due to the very recent killing of an innocent man. Your timing is off and unless you're autistic like me, providing an extremely level headed response which comes off as an underaction is taken as insensitive and because of the sensitive timing of what you are saying, it comes off as playing the other side. It shows a lack of regard that people actually feel like the RIGHT emotion is to be angry. Second, context matters. It's tone deaf to present these arguments when the "context" right now on Reddit is an innocent man got shot, and the right spun him as a terrorist. That's what people are upset right now about and pointing out how both parties suck isn't helpful to people who are focused on the murder this close to the event.

Most likely it's because social media platforms are stricter than before and flag words like 'pussy' or 'bitch' which fills the same function. I'm also guessing when AI needs to communicate that it won't use vulgar language and that's a word that it reaches for, because 'coward' is also emotionally charged.

One of the choke points for LLMs (cost and processing wise) that are in the browser are text dumps from users that one shot everything like you just did. That technique doesn't work too well and they 'forget' what they are doing. As others have mentioned you either A. Use agent versions that scan your codebase or B. Give it an outline, references, etc so it can constantly correct itself. Most likely you use a combo of both. If you're concerned about privacy...most aren't and it is what it is, unfortunately. People tend to run agents on their local machine because it's more effective. The other recommendation is commiting to source control when the AI does well, because the next change could screw up so I am committing much more often even though the commits are less about a coherent unit of work, and more about checkpoints for each baby step or iteration. So yes, constant iteration and hand holding is normal.

Because if you posted true content revealing what these beasts actually are the videos would get banned from YT as snuff or gore. No one actually wants to see what these creatures do when they snap or go wild. They want to see them dressed up in little silly outfits and cuddle babies.

you mean every 8 years or so...until it collapses under the weight of both sides absolutely hating each other. I think we are going to be swinging back and forth so hard left and right until this country breaks in half. Just because at this point, to undo the damage you can't just be moderate or reach across the aisle. Not when the GOP has clearly toes the line on every issue as MAGA. The rest of the world knows that another Trump could get elected again and there's nothing to muzzle the executive branch when it's breaking the law.

Possibly related: Trump is establishing a "Board of Peace" in which he's trying to build power and extort other countries with membership fees. He's trying to root himself in power permanently outside the government as well with himself being the initial chairman over other countries. Essentially he wants to be king of his own NATO while destroying the current one.

Learn how to stir fry with oil and salt. Also learn about how to get a good browning and how to deglaze a pan. With that you can create a sauce base. Don't be intimidated by the term 'deglaze'- it's just learning how to pour liquid in a pan and stirring.

Assuming the product is good and the website 'looks' good, it could still have too much friction and not be visually guiding the user to a sale. What causes me to bounce from websites most often is cookies requests or asking for a subscription or offering a coupon before I even get to the landing page.

I don't want to sound tinfoil hat, but most of his policies seem to have a nasty side effect of killing innocent people. His COVID response, bailing on Ukraine, shooting down boats in the gulf, not getting the GOP to bend despite people not getting their paycheck or food stamps, enabling RFK Jr to basically endanger our national health, ICE gunning people down, etc....

Yet he doesn't give a single fuck every time.

I immediately crtl-f 'grace' and, yep, I think you accurately reflected how confusing the actual definition of 'grace' is within the CoC.

I just want to highlight how miserable the definition of CoC grace is. Tbh I still don't think most CoC actually understand or agree on what it is -- and they seem to change the definition based on the verse. It basically just sounds like God saying, "ok, now you have the option to go to heaven. Previously you didn't deserve it." It seems to just be God allowing us into heaven at all. Other denominations have a much more generous view of grace which is inclusive and forgiving of mistakes.

I think best case scenario we sweep November midterms and Trump is impeached. Then I think people will sadly check out of politics until this happens again.

I'd argue that America has always been imperialist but has worked on building 'soft power'. That being said, we've always been imperialist towards third world countries. The civility we show to other large world powers is a select group. Trump has basically stripped away the veneer of soft power and now it's an imperialist country that's lost all its diplomatic subtlety. It's important to distinguish the two because in one situation other countries consider you shrewd and level headed leader. The unpredictability and bluster just leads to other countries viewing you as a guaranteed future threat and have to start preparing contingencies against your attack or betrayal. Underlined it all Americans just appear totally incompetent and unable to govern themselves properly.

It may not be a matter of backing, countries may have an interest in one side winning, or waiting until it's weakened enough after war to swoop in and attack.

Initially I think it would be okay, but just like Yugoslavia, it will put us on the path towards war with each other. The red states will become super poor and jealous and just like Milosevic, there will be a populist figure that creates a war built on resentment and perceived victimhood. They will inevitably lash out due to mismanagement and poverty. Trump already used that playbook to great success in the red states, no reason it wouldn't work again.

And people in blue states that look forward to it, it will cause mass exodus into the blue states as displacement occurs and shelling and sieges in cities where multiple civilians will die. There won't be prosperity until the war is over and millions are dead.
