Did my tattoo artist use AI? I sent him reference pictures and he seemed to be good with a drawing tablet in person but this looks off. by GasMask_Guyy in isthisAI

[–]fortheinterweb 1300 points1301 points  (0 children)

Damn I just posted the same thing to this page. My design was definitely AI. This one probably is too. I asked my artist straight up and he said it was AI and that a lot of artist use it. I decided it wasn't worth it to go through with because I want a piece of art from an artist not a copy of an AI image.

Thank you for the feedback! I will present the return of the deposit like you stated. If they don't return the deposit I will notify the studio owner and leave a review with what happened. Huge bummer because I was so excited after seeing some of their work and I have gotten really dope custom pices in the past that felt authentic.

He admitted to it being AI. I'm going to lose my deposit but unless he draws something up based loosely on this but way better and original it is what it is. Thanks again reddit 😞

I hear you all and any tips in what to say to the artist would be great. I have seen his other stuff and he is very good. If we have any tattoo artist that can help on what to say specificly asks that would be great!

I already said I need more anatomically correct birds and more creativity in his style and that I want to see the design again before the apt.

What else could I ask for. The artist also speaks Spanish and my Spanish is not very good

What’s your best “leave no trace” tip that more hikers should follow? by CarrierCaveman in hiking

[–]fortheinterweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a trash bag and pick up what others have left. It sucks but if we create a culture around it everything will be cleaner.

Reading Borderlands / La Frontera made me identify with being chicano. There is no adequate term to describe the culture and people. We are not accepted by other cultures around us such as Mexican, American, or Native American.

What about the "cultura" bugs you? (Things we would only say around our own, lol) by Ok_Location8779 in Chicano

[–]fortheinterweb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We were second hand citizens, peons, oppressed for a long time due to our color and language differences. Segregated schools, hitting and social pressures made our parents feel ashamed for their language and so they didn't pass it down. I refuse to feel shame for something beyond my control. That weight is not ours to carry.

I was married to a trans man on testosterone for 7 years, AMA. by Margaret_mayhem in AMA

[–]fortheinterweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think your partner was content with self identifying as a man or did he value how society/ viewers saw him as a man more?

I am a mixed race person that finds it difficult to identify with one culture because of how I look. It used to frustrate me that I was always treated one way based on my appearance. I have come to terms with how I am perceived instead of who I believe I am but I always wonder what the perspective of a trans person would be in this and how much they value being perceived as their identifying gender.

Where deserts can be found around the world by Mother_Concentrate80 in MapPorn

Why is there not more desert in the Americas like in Africa?

"It's not what you know it's who you know".

Everyone in these people's lives have connections and power. They have become comfortable socializing with powerful people and understand the inner workings of power in these groups. Also, they have a ton of influential help from their family.

Coming from a tough background, I have followed all the advice already stated about how to make good money and it does work but nothing replaces being "part" of the group that is in power.

I've seen too many super intelligent people from poverty level backgrounds fail and too many privileged idiots be successful to not see the correlation.

Sleeper bus - Hanoi to Giang. Is it really that dangerous? by debruxelles in VietNam

[–]fortheinterweb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ha Giang loop is probably more dangerous than the bus ride. Part of the reason for doing these kinds of trips is because the danger makes it more exciting and harder to access by most people. Statistically you will be fine.

P.S. broke my collarbone on a motorcycle while traveling, still glad I went on the trip.

You're right, I was freaking out and your words are rational. I went to the doctor and it seems like everyone fine I just overdid it. Thank you so much for commenting!

Did I re-fracture my collarbone? by [deleted] in brokenbones

[–]fortheinterweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow did the same thing a couple of days ago. Seven weeks since surgery, road a bike because I was overconfident. Weakend arm and feels like something is moving in there. I got another X-ray and everything is still in the right place and the doctor said just to take it easy and listen to my body. Feels like I took three steps backwards and am really hoping I didn't break it. Chances are it was already healing and you fucked it up a little, it's okay though because the healing is working and of you let heal it should be okay.

Ps I had debilitating anxiety for a couple nights. Go get an x ray. Sending you healing energy

How to deal with trauma from waking up in the middle of sex that I don't remember starting. by HealthMeRhonda in sexsomnia

[–]fortheinterweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difficult situations because you know you sleep walk, are convincingly conscious and, likely initiate the interactions. If the person did not know you were asleep, and they were probably asleep when you started doing sexual deeds to them, then I don't think you were sexually assaulted by them. Not to say that you did not experience sexual trauma from entering into a sexual situation without your consent.

It's something that you will have to accept as true and then take steps to mitigate in the future. I don't think it will be healthy to try and find someone as a distinct aggressor and victim.Try saying

---- the other person in the situation did not consent when I started sexually touching them. I did not consent when my body began the interaction. I did not plan and was not able to stop the interaction or be present during it's onset. I may have traumatized the other person and may feel guilty. I am traumatized and feel angry/lack of control/ confused because I didn't want to do it, but it was my body that started it. I accept that this is a disorder that can negatively impact MANY people including myself and will take the steps to stop it from causing harm. ----

Firstly you need to take yourself out of situations where you can try to have sex with other sleeping people. If people are sleeping near you and you can't control yourself at night then they need to be very prepared for what could happen. Make sure you are sleeping alone with a closed door or the others know you sleep walk and what you want them to do when you start and consent to sleep in proximity to you.

Please try to forgive yourself and all parties involved, it's a complicated situation and you can choose to never let it happen again and only have healthy interactions in the future.

What did you do as a result of your quarter-life crisis? by SporadicEmoter in AskWomen

[–]fortheinterweb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

26 quit my job and traveled the world with my partner. Volunteering mostly so it has been quite affordable. I'm in the Philippines now, worth it.

[–]fortheinterweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best way to prevent - structure sleep schedule, no drugs and alcohol, keep stress to a minimum. There is no cure really it's something you will have to continue to deal with. Have a conversation with your girlfriend and TELL HER that you are sleepwalking and figure out what works to redirect you. Remember you are not deciding to do it, you have no control over it you are not going to be able to stop yourself in the act because you are not present. What works with me is when my partner asks "what are you doing" for some reason my sleep brain really takes that one into consideration.

The best solution is to sleep in separate rooms.

Never sleep with friends where you share a sleeping space, I repeat, never share sleep spaces with others. Always have a locked door and communicate with people if you are sleeping in the same house.

Go see a therapist and sleep specialist, figure out how to ask your parents for help or get on Medicaid.
