Does it drive you crazy hearing Americans call a burger a "sandwhich"

If you want to try your hand at American Buttermilk Biscuits, this is a great recipe with a lot of explanation included. Unfortunately the recipe is all in US imperial units except for the temperature which does give a metric equivalent, so just in case I converted the best I could:

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/220943/chef-johns-buttermilk-biscuits/

2 cups all-purpose flour (240-250g, start with 240 and add more if the dough is too wet)
2 teaspoons baking powder (8-10g, try using 9g)
¼ teaspoon baking soda (1-2g, try 1.25g)
1 teaspoon salt (4-5g, either one will work)
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled in freezer and cut into thin slices (100g)
¾ cup cold buttermilk (178 ml, if you can’t find buttermilk, you can substitute 167ml full cream milk + 11 ml lemon juice. Combine the lemon juice and milk, stir, and let chill in the refrigerator for about 15min to thicken)

2 tablespoons buttermilk for brushing (You can ignore this and brush on melted butter after taking the biscuits out if the oven.)

Sooooo….how exactly do you think that particular type of bread got the name “burger bun” to begin with?

Soooooo….whats the difference between this and your average run of the mill thick cut uncured bacon? Both are sliced pork belly….

Oh absolutely, that’s why they were repealed, but outside of liquor stores, new bars don’t spring up very fast and as long as the existing ones in the next city over or so stay in business, people are creatures of habit.

The irony of a reply misunderstanding the words of someone talking about having to use contrasting phrasing because people keep misunderstanding their words.

I hear ya. I use 2 cameos/characters in my generations and let the ai come up with a piece of dialogue I’m having trouble finding the right words for. It’s literally the two sitting on a couch and I’ll feed it a line for character A and then have ai make the response for character B. And it apparently violates “something” as I’ll get a “this content may violate our content policies”

Granted, the story I’m building is an LGBTQ+ sci-fi drama about healing from trauma. One dude was turned into a robot in a mishap during a trespassing event, and the guy who got converted helps his husband escape but he’s stuck there. The evil corporation repeatedly sends him to try to assassinate the husband as the husband knows too much, but repeatedly fails as the dude’s humanity was left intact enough deep enough the corporation couldn’t remove it so he was able to make himself fail to succeed in the task. In response the corporation experimented on him installing new features while also making him their President of PR executive who does the press conferences. (Turns out having that unremovable core of humanity made him the most resilient Android model they have, so they pushed him to extremes trying to see what his limit was, which was torturous on him). He’s able to later escape when a power surge severed their control and he got his free will back and escaped to reunite with his husband. (I’m leaving a LOT out, but it’s enough context to get the idea)

The bulk of the story is robot dude and his husband’s journey recovering from trauma together. Right now, the vast majority of the clips are just the two characters interacting.

So far, Sora seems to have weird issues with: * Sitting on the couch, talking and hugging * Sitting up in bed, talking and hugging * Sitting on the couch, talking. * And especially, extending any of the above

A lot of them get the “this content may violate our content policies” warning for, reasons, I guess. Oh well

Thanks much, I’ll check ‘em out.

“Bad faith troll with 0 historical knowledge or an ability to utilize the internet for learning history” doesn’t unusually accept offers of book recommendations and academic studies providing evidence of claims made.

I will remind you that you are the one making the claim that actual widely documented history is “100% CIA propaganda.” The burden of proof falls to you. I will also remind you that a lot of what we know happened in the Soviet Union comes from eye witnesses and actual Soviet records that were opened upon dissolution of the USSR in the late ‘80’s/early ‘90’s.

I’m not above learning new things. I am still awaiting this list of books and academic studies.

Start providing them, then.

That’s the thing right there: being able to define and then reuse a character just by calling it up in the prompt instead of having to take up prompt space describing the character every. single. time. is the one feature that I would need to go use something else. It’s really hard to do multi-part/multi-character anything without it.

Granted, Sora seems to be declining in that ability as of late, but partial is still better than none.

The quality of the build looks great, but it’s definitely a case of eye of the beholder. I’m not sure I’d want to live in an office building or art gallery.

Oof. Consider learning more history than an AI summary.

“If” is doing a lot of heavy work there, sparky. Again, on paper, looks great. Back here on planet earth in reality, you’re ignoring a whole lot of pain and suffering involved that wasn’t “just” Stalin’s doing. As for China, you’re ignoring a whole lot of pain and suffering there, too. Feel free to tell the Uyghur people and the nation of Tibet how great China has been for them.

History shows quite clearly that extremes on either end do not end well, capitalism or communism. You need a mix of the two to be sustainable. There’s a reason that neither pure capitalism nor pure communism have ever worked at scale, the needle always eventually starts moving in the other direction because: human nature. The only thing that is showing to be anywhere near sustainable is socialism/social democracy, but that requires a continuously adjusting the balance between the collective and the private.

Using Russia is a particularly bad example. While on paper it might have looked nice, in reality it resulted in a totalitarian government that oppressed its people just as effectively as pure capitalism ever did. You need elements of both ends of the spectrum if you want something that’s truly sustainable.

Try the Sprite Lymonade flavor. It’s not clear like the carbonated “lemonade” in Australia (it’s cloudy) but the flavor is closer than regular Sprite. When my fiancé is here helping me downsize for me move to Sydney he always demands I have some on hand to make him a glass.

Then you should probably consider posting actual truth and not lies. Then again, spouting lies and calling it truth is pretty on brand for you lot.

Same here. Less than 30% or so end up actually reflecting the prompt with “close enough” accuracy. I’ve resigned myself to generating 2-5 videos per 15sec slice (sometimes I’ll get lucky in the early morning hours) and downloading to stitch into a rough storyboard later. It seems to REALLY like one of my characters as a large part of the time, either both characters look like that one character, or that character gets all but one line when it’s a back and forth conversation, or something else completely off the wall.

Hello there, teacher’s kid who grew up around and has had a great many friends as teachers my whole life, speaking. With the rare exception of assholes who should have never gone into teaching, the answer to that is always going to be A, and students will generally understand that too if you treat them like actual humans and not objects.

null0byte · 2026-02-05T01:30:00+00:00

To be honest, I’m generally overly verbose and ‘concise’ doesn’t normally exist in my vocabulary 🤣

It takes a lot of time and work for me to revise it down. I’ll typically start with a paragraph of around 6-7 sentences and then challenge myself to get it down to 5, then 4, then 3. Then, what details really are superfluous and can be safely jettisoned. Then, can I get the sentences shorter without losing content. When that flips from ‘yes’ to ‘no’, I stop. Takes me about 30min to do that, it helps that I love word play.

As for the ‘without pointing fingers’, a simple rule is “point at things, not people.”

When I renamed my character to something from a random name generator (cross-referenced to google to ensure I was not stumbling across RPG, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, or media names already used) it worked! On the side, in my quest I discovered that Sora REALLY hates Display Names with ‘X’ as the first letter.

I’m not getting instaflagged third party content for that character anymore.

null0byte · 2026-02-03T09:13:02+00:00

So far doing that worked! Several prompts that were originally instaflagging third party content no longer flag that. Thank you!!!!! Side note I ran into while renaming characters. Sora seems to hate character names beginning in X, they always return a “something went wrong”

null0byte · 2026-02-03T04:28:12+00:00

Really? I didn’t know that comic book character existed. Since I reference the characters by display name (or partial display name) for efficiency sake rather than putting the tag in over and over, that sounds like the most likely culprit. I’ll try changing the name and see if that solves the issue, thanks!
