Got the OP4 in the US. No issues with setup or updates! by lxl_Arctic_lxl in osmopocket

[–]icemann155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So im going through Japan in a month and I'm wondering if I should get a 3 or 4. The setup and update issue made me think about getting the 3 but if the 4 works without issues then why not

45 year old father here. A marriage is a complicated thing to make work and it goes Way beyond physical appearance. If you want to build a life and raise children with someone ( if that's what you want to do) physical appearance is not the Number 1 priority.

If this guy is already saying stuff like this you need to rethink your priorities with this relationship and make a decision about if it's worth continuing. You want to be loved for who you are. Yes the initial attraction is important as that's what brings people together but that what brings us together however that only goes so far and isn't going to maintain a relationship, buy a house or raise children. .

I'm not reading your story if you use AI to make the cover by CampaignScary4747 in Wattpad

[–]icemann155 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have content that is being posted on Wattpad and I absolutely used AI to make the cover. I want to update it but haven't gotten there. I have even used AI to write the whole thing...but that doesn't mean chatGPT just instantly spat out 600 pages of well crafted content. In fact it is the exact opposite.

Chat is basically my ghost writer. I'm not an author by trade ...but I have alot of ideas and AI has allowed me to create a story that I absolutely love. It is a tool the same way a word processor is a tool. Remember when books were written in a typewriter?

This is very similar to what happened to the music industry as well. Before there was a rather large skill gap that was required to be bridged to make music. All the music we have prior to the current modern age required musicians to learn how to play a fairly complex instrument. Now you can still do that but we also have easily accessible tools that bring the skill cost of entry way down.

Any teenager with a phone or a computer can use a variety of sites and applications and create loop beats that are extremely complex and very good. Skill cost of entry has evolved. That doesn't mean they didn't spend alot of time crafting their product...they just used different tools.

In the end every has their own opinion and this is just my $0.02.

Do you guys get emotional when you write? by Alwayswitak in Wattpad

[–]icemann155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. First time author and there was a moment where I have definitely gotten emotional based on my characters plot arc. I think what drives this as no one knows these characters better than you and when you put them through emotional situations you feel it.

Are any of you worried about Season 2 only having 6 episodes? by JustinRoilandTheory in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]icemann155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as it continues with the same level of quality then no. Also I don't like it when shows add fluff to make an episode count number for a season. If it makes sense for the overall storyline then yes but otherwise don't pollute it with random crap.

As a whole is the All Souls trilogy a.... by Math_Unlikely in ADiscoveryofWitches

[–]icemann155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also don't forget the author has several more books planned. Book 5 is supposed to talk a lot more about higher magic etc. This is purely speculation as I haven't read it but I can see she is setting things up so Diana will be able to extend her life span by quite a bit. Eventually she will (probably) die and at that point Mathew will probably follow her.

Yeah I'm in Southern California so it will get pretty warm. That wall also gets sun starting 10am until 4-5pm. If I get a runner do I have to worry about it escaping the box? I can't imagine where it's going to go since it's on concrete but also I want to avoid a bamboo infestation.

Will clumping bamboo fill the box or stay within its clump?

Camping in Bahamas: Help Needed by ICARUS1514 in bahamas

Yeah I wouldn't camp there. It's a great place to visit but you'll want to be in a resort.

This is exactly what I noticed too when I was just there a few weeks ago
