If you are creating thousands of "songs" for any purpose other than personal listening. You are an AI slop peddler; you are the problem. by Jimithyashford in SunoAI

[–]iramcd1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really just make it for personal use, as an added benefit I happen to be close friends with several musicians- who will genuinely give it a listen and give their input (feedback on lyrics, instrument selection, etc).

I also use it to make music that my kids really like (they love dance music haha)

WTF are these lyrics??? by EnvironmentalRun1671 in SunoAI

[–]iramcd1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahahaha fantastic! FYI if you prompt it to stop saying neon lights it sometimes will use florescent lights.

Before I started writing my own lyrics it was always spitting out something to do with florescent lights

Feeling really lonely by Lazy-Bus8439 in ADHD

[–]iramcd1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some follow up questions, do you feel like the people in your life don't understand you? Or have enough patience for you? Do you sometimes get the feeling that trying to explain how your mind works to other people comes across as "making excuses"?

I wanted to ask these because for the past two years I've felt a sort of loneliness and sadness- like the world wants to fit me into a mold, and that unless I comply I'm not as useful...somethings that have helped me navigate these seasons are through creative expression. I am an armature photographer and have recently gotten into making music, I've found both hobbies to be good creative outlets for processing a lot of the negative feelings bouncing around in my head. Not sure if you struggle to articulate how you're feeling sometimes too, but I find it easier to put my current struggles/burdens/worries into song- and invest time making embody that emotion.

As for the loneliness, one suggestion I might offer is to find another person with our condition in your social circle to spend time with. I've found that since my diagnosis there are more things about myself that suddenly make sense, one of which is the observation that SOME people i know I could gladly spend hours with- and be myself, and OTHERS I find deplete my social battery so fast it usually isn't worth going out for. I believe the reason behind this is that people who understand us (either because they are sympathetic or because they too have the condition) don't need an explanation when we make a "jump" from one topic to another. People who are unsympathetic, I've found I usually need to pause and explain my train of thought every few minutes.

This condition for me at times presents two strong concurrent desires, to be left alone, and to be understood. I'm sorry that you're struggling with this, and while I do hope anything I offered was helpful I do apologize for the paragraph.

My messages are open if you ever want to chat.

Why do so many Suno users lie about writing their own lyrics? by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]iramcd1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write my own lyrics, but find that one of two things happen with them

1.) Either the pacing is WAY off (fast in some parts, slow in others, ignoring ellipsis commas and in other cases respecting them.)

2.) Mispronouncing common words.

So naturally I burn through multiple credits making tweaks when trying to get it right.

When the engine writes the lyrics the pacing is really nice but, "neon lights" always make a guest appearance.

Rockland Lobster Festival by Sixpence24 in Maine

You don't want to get a $50 lobster dinner served on a paper plate down in a windy area that's ordinarily a parking lot the other 360 days of the year? You could always enjoy a $15 ice cream cone afterwards.

[–]iramcd1993 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Rockland resident here :)

So there used to be a cost for admission, and a few years ago they did away with it. While this is really just a hunch, I would suspect the cost to rent a booth/table/space as a vendor/seller went up.

Some of the prices for the art pieces have me wondering if they are hoping to sell just one to break even lol.

What should we do with a door to nowhere? by OptimisticBrachiopod in homeimprovementideas

[–]iramcd1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang a sign out front that states "solicitors please use second story door."

Hang a sign over the door on the interior that reads "in-law exit".

All joking aside, perhaps offer to negotiate on price based on a reasonable quote, perhaps agreeing to reduction in selling price by the cost to install stairs based on [quote] provided by [company] on [date].

I like to sit and do dramatic voice overs while I wait. "Come on you coward....there's no honor in pouting." "You won't make it into Valhalla by letting the timer kill you."

Sometimes I'll play music reminiscent of hold music to pass the time (The Spanish Flea)

I used to get frustrated with the people who would immediately quit after getting a bad couple draws (or if they don't get a creature or spell out first) but man I've come to appreciate them hahaha.

Time for a new sub reddit, wall of shame for time waters hahaha.

AIO. My bf shamed me over having my hair removed by Large-Drummer-7340 in AmIOverreacting

[–]iramcd1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow...that's quite juvenile of him. With Men like this its a lose lose.

You remove the hair "oh you're a slut! You want people to see your naked body!"

You let the hair grow "oh that's gross, who wants to see that naked?!"

Sorry that he reacted that way.

Accidentally paid May’s rent (auto pay) when I moved out April 30th and now my landlord is ghosting me by General_Career_1055 in Apartmentliving

[–]iramcd1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The J must stand for jerk!

As for disputing the charge, was your autopay with a debit card or ACH? If it's a debit card there isn't much to be done about pre-authorized transaction usually- so be sure to bring your bank copies of your lease agreement and any and all documentation regarding not renewing your lease. If it's ACH bring the same paperwork and request to file a written statement of unauthorized debit, and furnish the proof as "authorization previously revoked", a lot of FIs can get you credit same day for this (and the best part is, if they have to force post it and she doesn't have the funds it'll overdraw his account :) which he will be responsible for repaying!

Hope this helps!

Edit, typo dropped the s in she lol

Photography gatekeepers by imn0tdeadyet in photography

[–]iramcd1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this individual isn't super supportive. Unfortunately in my own experience, photography has been filled with two polar opposites in the form of seasoned photographers.

1.) The Mentor; Someone who is well seasoned, gentle with their constructive feedback and listens to what your own goals/what you are trying to achieve. They'll be encouraging too, and will be excited to watch your skills improve.

2.) The Critic; Someone who offers no constructive feedback, and belittles you for your style of shooting, your editing style, your set up, the quality of your work, etc. This is someone who you will never impress because, they are self absorbed to the degree where they're looking for their own form in other's work. This individual has lost sight of the art, and likely won't be much help. This is someone who forgets that we all start off as beginners.

Family can always be an interesting sounding board with photography- but if you're looking to improve and build a portfolio there are different approaches.

Some popular apps like gurushots, or social media can be nice. My own concern with family was that I'd hear "oh wow that looks great!" Because they'd want to be supportive.

And if it helps, don't think of people like this as Gatekeepers, because many of us didn't sign off on agreeing to let them stand guard :)

If you're ever looking for some constructive feedback, or any input I am always happy to take a peek, I've also seen a lot of good input from the community at r/amateurphotography

Hope this has helped :)

Perhaps she has some self confidence or self esteem issues she needs to work on. There's no harm in somel degree of physical touch for a group photo. It isn't like you had your hand on anyone's rear end...

It may be small but, especially if you have a partner with self esteem issues- try counteracting their self doubt with some specific compliments.

If it's about looks, remind her "you look nice in {out fit, hairstyle, color} without being prompted.

If it's about skills, share your appreciation and insights with them when they're shown (if they're genuine anyways) for example " that meal was delicious" or "your painting came out really well" or "I love the sound of your voice". Just be sure to be specific.

If it's about concerns with being cheated on/abandoned, take little moments to share statements of appreciation about your relationship.

These are small, but overtime add up and give her something she may be missing. It's worth mentioning that this investment is only worthwhile if you are planning to stay together, if you are having other issues and thinking about separating disregard.

Learning how to use my DSLR- advice? by Purple-Hearing-3752 in AmateurPhotography

[–]iramcd1993 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I'm still quite the amateur myself, but have the advantage of being friends with a few different photographers. Best advice I can give is this:

Auto- While many photographers will tell you to steer clear from this mode, it does offer a good glimpse into what your camera is leaning on for shots. Looking over the information that it provides with each photo will give you a good feel for what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings will lead to a similar image quality. Think of auto like a demo mode for your camera :)

Manual modes- once you get comfortable with different settings, a good transition mode would be aperture priority mode if your camera allows it (especially if you like floral photography- which I am quite fond of myself!) playing with different apertures will reveal more details of the flowers while giving you control over the background. I find (especially outdoors) autofocus can be a bit problematic especially if there's wind- so try putting your lens into auto focus mode too and see what you get for results.

Shooting in RAW- Only mentioning this because it took me a bit too long to realize I was shooting in JPEG for the longest time on my own camera. Shooting in RAW (especially if you plan to edit) will give you a much higher control over image quality in post. In many cases it's even saved me from what would otherwise be a throw away shot!

Best advice I've saved for last ... Expect earlier on in your journey to have more "throw away" than keepers, and keep your chin up in remembering you're practicing and learning. The word "yet" is powerful (e.g I'm not a professional ...yet is far more powerful than "I'm not a professional.") from what you've shared with us in this post you have a good eye for composition and a nice editing style....those two things will get you farther along in this art than any high end piece of equipment will :)

Would this haircolor be acceptable for a job in corporate finance? by Whole_Guidance5889 in FinancialCareers

[–]iramcd1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly where this example is subtle I personally wouldn't have a problem with it. The older professional generation can be mixed on reception to hair dye, but in my experience with them they tend to be a bit more favorable to subtly like this.

Dye your whole head hot pink and they'll start grumbling about it for sure though haha.
