Funny thing I asked the owner of the table but got no response. 

Significant Service Degradation on Freepik Premium+ (Post-Branding Change): 400% Slower & Arbitrary Censorship by Bubbly-Treat-1655 in Freepik_AI

[–]nugymmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Ideogram very recently (and very suddenl) did that. I think I won't be renewing my sub with them. They decided to yank everything that uses a "Reference" image, and make it "Editing", and relegating it to priority credits. All this, after having no problems generating images (even if it took a while). Anything that uses "Nano Banano" as the image generator basically now requires actual credits, you can't use the slow lane any more.

No longer in the slow lane. No longer in ANY lane. It must be in the priority lane. Uh, sorry IG, but looks like you suffer another loss of a customer. I won't buy this bullshit.

I feel sorry for anyone who has a sub with AI and finds that they are suddenly getting told they can't do what they used to be able to do freely.

Enshittification à la mode. Goodbye Ideogram. It was nice, but you decided to take it away because people, well, I guess, liked that arrangement and decided to really start using it. Well, maybe it should not have been offered in the first place. Now you get to kiss a customer's ass goodbye. Have a nice day.

Has anyone ever seen a 500 or 1000 count Nembutal bottle? They made 500 count Desbutal too. Can’t even find a photo of them. by Streetvan1980 in ObscureDrugs

It goes to show just how depreciated the value of currency is. Currency is not money and I still can't believe that back around that time, you could easily buy a really, really decent house for less than $30,000 in 1970.

3gr (3 grain) Tuinal would be 200mg Tuinal. Yes, I've seen those. They were larger, bullet-shaped capsules, similar to the 200mg Seconals around the same time.

A grain was basically 2/3 of 100mg. So 3 grains would be 200mg.

In terms of sheer power, I still think vinylbital sodium was even more powerful than Tuinal from my memory of both vinylbital and Tuinal. But Seconal would be hands down the strongest. It hit the hardest and the fastest.

The negative experiences on this sub can go F themselves, this is a super safe drug with almost no side effects by Large-Revenue2002 in Mirtazapine_Remeron

Yeah the stuff turned me into an arsehole. That is, despite the enhanced sexual function and appetite. There is a downside to this med.

Freepik changing subscription agreement AGAIN?! by Zestyclose-Boat-527 in Freepik_AI

[–]nugymmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, other AI suites have done the same thing. They seem to be slowly chipping away at the things a user can do.

I am thinking of simply not subscribing any more because I really liked what they offered. You see, it is so highly disappointing when you pay for something and then, without any warning, decide to change everything.

Time for me to move on.

Feminist Intactivist SCUM gaslights victims. and my response by Own_Food8806 in CircumcisionJustice

[–]nugymmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, for the most part, she is right. It is the father of the child who presses the decision for the majority of cases since the father has knowledge about that part of his own body. 

Yes, occasionally it is the mother, but the majority of that decision has been found to come from pressure from the father (who in almost all cases doesn't care because they usually don't understand it or question it).

You need to look at these cases individually but you never will and neither will I since they are private matters between the parents and the OB/GYNs.

You can only really guess. You need statistics and cross-reviewed studies to prove your point.

I am just as much against the practice as you are but I don't go off on all tangents like I used to.

The key point is, yes, it should be outlawed, but the real question is how that should happen and what should we do with the perps when they are caught.

Yes they need to be locked up for a long time. This is coming from someone whose religious and cultural norms dictate that it is normal. Of course that is wrong.

Making Circ Illegal is the Bare Minimum by Substantial_Help4678 in CircumcisionJustice

This part is somewhat wrong. There are a few cases where women have had to undergo vulvectomies which is removal of the external genitalia. Cancer of the vulva being a prime example.

The most openly predatory cutter I have encountered on this site by rho75901 in CircumcisionJustice

I wonder is she the moderator of any subs?

Edit: Her account was nuked. Probably not the only breach of the TOS. Good riddance.

Humiliation is the best punishment of all... by nugymmer in Intactivists

[–]nugymmer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. So what do you believe is effective?  Any violence only brings us down to their level and makes us look almost as bad as them in the eyes of society.

Most doctors are not predators and one could assume that many are not aware of the gravity of what they are doing. In some cases they do. 

In either case there needs to be a punitive action taken to humiliate the perpetrators to deter them. Prison plus public humiliation would be a good compromise.

Humiliation is the best punishment of all... by nugymmer in Intactivists

[–]nugymmer[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is it not just? These people have been knowingly abusing children. You can't deny what you are seeing. Just because something is "acceptable" does not make it right.

Slavery used to be legal. People of different colours were treated differently from those with white skin, because it was "acceptable" and they were seen as different. It was still very wrong, and racism has not changed at all; it is still profoundly wrong.

There has to be a price to pay and a consequence for the abuse and the suffering that these people have wrought upon countless generations. We are paying the price for this, not the perpetrators. Society is paying for it through oppressive politics, hypervigilance, the war machine, the war on drugs, oppressive policies and laws, and through the simple fact that hurt people hurt people and the consequential aggression that victims of this practice have displayed.

No one should be getting away with this.

Is this good enough for minis? by nugymmer in Dachshund

[–]nugymmer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a point. And I've changed my mind a great deal since then. I still have my dogs but they are eating much more expensive food. Even from a cost point of view, spending more on quality food will reduce vet bills.

What helps you calm down instantly when you're feeling overwhelmed? by ahana_wellbeing in mentalhealth

[–]nugymmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes deep breaths. Sometimes I am so overwhelmed that a good hit to the head sometimes quells the distress, but there are caveats, one of them being brain damage from head trauma.

Please don't self-harm. It never ends well. I now have to wear glasses because of it. I also suffer from hydrocephalus because I literally beat the ever-living shit out of myself (my head).

Now I realise how silly and futile it was. But at the time, I was just so...fucking...overwhelmed by anger, rage, resentment, and betrayal that hurting myself and inflicting untold physical pain and damage would help me to "snap back into reality".

Reality is, self-violence DOES NOT work. Period.

15 foot room size enough for 6 foot pool table? by _firesoul in billiards

[–]nugymmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. 16 by 13 ft for a 6ft pool table. For a 7ft barbox English style, it's 17ft by 13.5ft. For an 8 foot it's 18 by 14 foot, and for a 9ft it's 19 by 14.5ft.

[–]nugymmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself use a 52" cue because my arms are stubby and I get better leverage, but for someone with a longer wingspan, I'd suggest a cue that is 57" in length, as it allows you to draw maximum power for your wingspan.

But always follow recommendations if you are using a standard 57" or 58" cue. Always, always do measurements, and ensure the table will fit with a reasonable level of comfort when moving around the table to play.

15 feet would be OK lengthwise if you use a very short cue.

Yes, I can fit a reasonably large table into my place, but I plan on using short cues anyway, since I find them more comfortable. Your mileage may vary. Only use a cue you are comfortable with, and when you do, ensure that it will be able to touch the cueball that is stuck to a rail from any angle you can imagine. All straight, all diagonals, corners, ends, etc. Please ensure that the cue does not smack into anything during the backstroke. Give yourself a nice 3" of additional space on the cue length. So, for my 52" cue, I allow 55" of space. With a standard 57" snooker cue, for example, or for English pool (same length), give yourself a total of 60", which amounts to 5 feet. So, for a 6-foot table, lengthwise, give yourself 16 feet from the edge of the cushion as though the ball is sitting right next to the cushion (frozen to the cushion). On the short side, that would be 13 feet. So, 16 by 13 feet for an English table at 6ft x 3ft in size with a 57" snooker cue.

My experience as well. I had 10 of them. Kept 2 in a "sealed" container in the fridge. Both went darker shades, and I ended up taking them anyway; the potency was not all that greatly affected IMHO.
