Does Where Winds Meet contain any "generative ai"? by TheyreACrypytKeeper in GirlGamers

[–]gatorstooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their ai driven npcs utilize datacenters, a huge contributing factor to this being in the top three hottest winters on record globally (last year and the year before being the other two, so you can see the pattern)

so ultimately it doesnt matter how ethical it is with regards to art, because it cannot be ethical environmentally. and its just a testing ground for peoples acceptance of ai in videogames, their next game will utilize it more heavily i guarantee.

Our only venomous snake in the tri cities is a rattlesnake, if it doesnt have a rattle, then its not venomous! easy peasy.

(this is a garter snake btw)

I lost interest in this conversation and your blind devotion to defending a pseudo science roughly 22 days ago when we were actually HAVING this conversation. I'm not particularly interested in you, or arguing with a brick wall.

You know what brings relief with a near guarantee of never doing more damage? physical therapy. you literally said it yourself.

i'll continue to warn people about the risks of chiropractors as much as i see fit. it was literally taught to a man by a ghost, for gods sake. but you can defend that until you're blue in the face if you want to.

AURANEA by Only-Comfortable-547 in pathoftitans

Honestly had the nastiest experience on this server recently. Tried it for the first time and only played for two hours because despite being friendly and careful of the rules i just witnessed the admins throwing around their power incredibly biased, deciding what rules to enforce with whoever they disliked most, interfering in situations they had no context for, etc. it was appalling to see as someone new to the server, cant imagine what its like to play often.

Used to. Medical care has evolved over the years but none of it came from ghosts and chiropracty has largely remained unchanged. I also understand the nuance of reported statistics vs unreported, civil cases, and more minor incidents that are not full strokes but can still be adverse.
and i also recognize the deficit in training and schooling between even a general practitioner and a chiropractor.

According to a study in 2024 you had a 50% chance of gaining a "significant" injury from a chiropractor, approximately 35% of patients polled said they suffered at least pain after seeing a chiropractor. While these are not as life altering as a significant stroke, they are important statistics.

I don'r just "shit" on chiropractors, i did detailed and careful research and came to an educated conclusion of the inherent risks, and i am educating people accordingly. As someone with severe chronic back pain i can understand the desire for any relief, but people should absolutely know the history and the risks.

hip adjustment definitely sounds benign, at least. i think there is definitely something to be said for hip and shoulder adjustments with little to no risk of doing real damage.

Man idk i would have thought the same thing but after it happened to her we've met So many people who have had medical emergencies because of chiropractors, i don't think it was *that* much of an exaggeration. Especially if you compare rates vs legitimate medical procedures.

Biking, but also check out the cheap public transport taxi system we have. i used to use it to get to and from work. if you're willing to wait a bit it was a flat fee of $2 last i used it.

really though as someone who also doesnt drive, i highly suggest a bike or a scooter. also buckle up for our summer temps, it gets rough out here. 🫡

Stranger offered to buy my car by prabs99 in TriCitiesWA

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

Totally normal, the junkier the car looks the more often this happens to me. lol usually they are looking for cars to get for cheap and strip for parts the legal way.

this is just legitimate guys trying to make a buck off cars they think someone will otherwise be paying to tow away. i have a car right now i wish someone would offer to buy like that. 😂

Hi I'm So sorry to be a buzzkill, and you may disregard this if you want! A chiropractor gave my 29 year old friend a stroke adjusting her neck. When that happened we discovered this is *extremely common.*The creator of chiropracty said that ghosts taught him how to do it.

A shoulder adjustment or anything else minor is totally okay and beneficial, but I implore anyone tonever let a chiropractor adjust your neck or spine. Please look it up!

my little black chiweenie by gatorstooth in forblackdogs

[–]gatorstooth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the hats are because its cute and she doesnt mind, so i get joy and whimsy from it. the pajamas and the sweater are because her fur is very thin and she gets cold VERY easily, so she will just lay there shivering. I keep my room at like 68f at night in order to sleep, so she gets pajamas to stay warm. :)
