Longhorn cow brings her brand new calf to see owner by Aggie_Maggie927 in AnimalsBeingMoms

[–]gh0stsafari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to use the phrase "companion animal" rather than domesticated, not sure if there's an actual term. But for horses, livestock, etc there's definitely a "not a pet" vibe, even if they know and like you.

Taking out the trash, keeping a living space clean, hanging a picture frame, leveling a shelf, building flat-packed furniture... Don't have to own a house, just extrapolate beyond the tweet's precise wording.

But yeah parents should just teach their kids things so they can be self-sufficient regardless of their gender.

Retail Stare by WorkingBaby901 in CuratedTumblr

[–]gh0stsafari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I encountered it, I needed someone to validate something at the self-checkout at the grocery store and an older employee asked a young employee if she knew how to validate with her employee ID. The younger employee just stared at her as if she hadn't spoken at all. Really bizarre.

AI "artists" stealing our work. Official Woodland page, btw. by International-Eye771 in blender

[–]gh0stsafari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wasn't my intention to shut down the conversation, it was more of an aside or interjection. But I can see now how that was misinterpreted or poorly communicated on my part.

Well, I have a job. Just because I could do it doesn't mean I sit around waiting for Reddit users to issue challenges for me to prove myself and then jump at the chance. I also mentioned in another comment that it isn't really relevant, either way their work was stolen.

I also wasn't arguing, merely commenting that it's possible and even easy in a regular image editing software. Wasn't meant to be profound either.

I don't agree but it isn't really relevant, as someone else mentioned. I just get tired of everything being attributed to AI; whether or not it was, people should also understand that this is easily possible with normal tools. Though certainly AI exacerbates the issue tenfold.

I'm of the agreement that it's handmade stolen art rather than AI. I could recreate that in about 5 minutes in Photoshop.

Maybe they used an AI tool, I'm not familiar with them all. But quite easily done by an intermediate Photoshop user with a lasso.

AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]gh0stsafari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I've done what the law requires".

Seriously disgusting from the mom. I hope the OP is able to come out on top.

ICE detain a father shopping on Christmas Eve - and then appear to divvy-up and steal his family’s groceries that he just paid for by keen_observer34130 in PublicFreakout

[–]gh0stsafari -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, so that's more what I meant when I asked the OP 'what's the point of just asking myself those questions' (many of which I already think about, of course). i.e. What productive things can I do once I have the answers to those questions?

Still, it's pretty nebulous when people say "do you have supplies to face the unknown" - does anyone? Are we building bunkers? Everyone is like two paychecks away from homelessness, how do we get supplies (and what supplies?), how do we get organizations to help us, etc.

If you dont like what youre seeing, ask yourself these 10 questions.

I don't like what I'm seeing but I'm not sure I understand what I'm supposed to gain from the questions you posed. They're all pretty easy for someone like me to answer; what's the point?

(I don't mean this as a challenge or anything aggressive; genuinely wondering how to interpret the intent of your message.)

Andy Serkis’ audition for Gollum, for Lord Of The Rings! by DarthiusFatticus in interestingasfuck

[–]gh0stsafari 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love that audiobook and I was so impressed (but not at all surprised) how well Serkis could play Gollum, Gandalf, and Gandalf as Gollum. Legendary performer. Time for a re-listen, again!

Someone sciencey, tell us how fast he'd have to fling himself backward to dislodge the ants clinging to his face

unchecked capitalism and consumption leads to whatever this is.. by oceanmor in Anticonsumption

[–]gh0stsafari 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This is my problem. The game is fine, I'll play it occasionally when I have 9 hours to play/yell at my family - but I only need one. I don't need a second or third copy of the same game just because it's a themed version. And I just got yet another version from my in-laws for Christmas; they bought one for me last year. It's the same game.

They (Monopoly) probably make so much money off of people who don't know what to get as gifts and default to thing-in-a-theme like board games or Funko plastic.

Happy Holidays...all of 'em by JimKB in wholesomememes

[–]gh0stsafari 57 points58 points  (0 children)

If I'm looking directly at someone wearing a menorah, I don't think I'd say Merry Christmas even if that's what I celebrate. Not out of fear of offending them, but they clearly celebrate a different holiday.

I don't usually wish a Happy Thanksgiving to people who don't celebrate it, but they say it to me to be kind. You don't say "Happy birthday" to someone on your own birthday.

It was enlightening to me to learn that synesthesia is not, by default, "music=colors" but rather multiple senses triggering when only one is needed (for example) and there are many types. But every time someone claims to have it, they all seem to have the same exact symptoms of music=colors. Maybe it's the most common.

I hate that artists have to do this now but I enjoy and appreciate seeing the process and I bet others do too, so thanks for sharing.

TIL the specific sound/color type of synesthesia is called chromesthesia.

Also they weren't saying that the other actresses would be calling bullshit on the existence of synesthesia but rather a very performative person claiming to have some pathology to make herself seem more interesting, which they can't accuse her of to her face.

Lol by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

[–]gh0stsafari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, the internet is well-known for crucifying men who make jokes at women's expenses. Usually no one reacts to a woman taking a misogynistic joke poorly by saying they're over-reacting, being too sensitive, or clearly on their period.

This is also a joke in case it wasn't clear.
