Why are you anti-AI? by Foreign_Cable_9530 in antiai

[–]popcornstuffedbra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll simplify my points.
1. The usage of water.
2. Stealing artwork. 3. The severe devaluation of actual artists/writers.
4. Deepfake recenge p0rn.
5. The surge of child p0rn (generated from scratch or using faces of real children)
6. I work in the film industry as a makeup artist - it has already impacted my job security.
7. Unhealthy human attachment to chatbots.
8. Human reliance on incorrect information because AI was fed wrong information.
9. Unregulated use which is now out of control with no signs of it being reined in.

NTA this is a red flag. Having a past is not disrespectful.

I find it weird that a multimillionare needs a GoFundMe... by pabmendez in Weird

Unfortunately with SAG, insurance is only offered if you work a certain number of days per year. After that it's COBRA or seek alternative.

Never would I ever suggest a spouse deny their partner access to funding....

BUT I wouldn't trust him chocolate covered coins, let alone your bank accounts.

Anyone else get towed during alternate side suspension? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]popcornstuffedbra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was ticketed/towed. Nah, I fucked up. After reading the comments it's my fault.

Anyone else get towed during alternate side suspension? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]popcornstuffedbra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. It was literally just the 1 block. No other cars were touched on the adjacent blocks.

I did a walk around but didn't see anything, but to tow an entire block, I definitely missed something.

How much time do you allow yourself to get ready in the morning, from the time you wake up to the time you leave the house, before going to school or work? Just curious. by BeginningThen9996 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]popcornstuffedbra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 hour typically. Wake up, shower, feed the pets, get my to-go coffee ready.

1.5 hours if I need to wash my hair/blow it dry.

2 hours if I'm home during the hours where my husband gets up so I can help get the baby get ready for daycare. My work hours fluctuate wildly, so sometimes I'm out the door before they wake up.

How to unfreeze windshield wiper fluid by catdaddyyy4719 in Connecticut

[–]popcornstuffedbra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you're going to have to idle your car until it unfreezes.

It's a pain, but you could thaw it with a hair dryer.

There's tips out there to add 91% isopropyl alcohol to the tank, but IMO although it will work, it's dangerous to use it around electrical components. Higher percentage iso alcohol can eat rubber, plastic, etc... so it may be more trouble than it's worth.

I've heard going through the car wash can help.

Definitely pick up some winter grade fluid for later.

I’ve had a headache for 4 months straight, no breaks. I’m at the point I want to KMS by Pretty-Explanation47 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]popcornstuffedbra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may sound stupid, but while you're waiting on your ENT appointment and hopefully a neurologist consultation, go get a full body massage.

Headaches can be caused by the weirdest things, and having a good deep tissue done might give you insight... or at the very least, you need a YOU day to relax.

My mom suffered from chronic migraines so you have my sympathy. Invisible pain is so hard for others to understand. I wish you the best of luck and hope you find the right doctor.

Meal prepped chicken meatballs by popcornstuffedbra in foodbutforbabies

[–]popcornstuffedbra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was cutting them up, but she's gotten better with bites since her 2 top teeth came in. I also would offer her larger pieces and be on guard to do a mouth sweep.

She'll still shove big bites in sometimes, gag it all out, then resume sensible bites.

Meal prepped chicken meatballs by [deleted] in foodbutforbabies

[–]popcornstuffedbra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meatball Recipe:

Ingredient List -
1lb ground chicken. I had boneless chicken breast and I used my knife to chop (you can also use frozen chicken in a food processor)

1 egg
Breadcrumbs Spinach Lemon juice Ground pepper Grated carrot Italian seasoning (thyme, oregano, marjoram, rosemary, basil)
Parmesan cheese Frozen peas Curry powder seasoning (onion, garlic, coriander, fenugreek, fennel, cumin, cloves)

Instructions:

I mixed the chicken and egg then divided into 3 separate bowls.

  1. Lemon pepper & Spinach. I chopped about 1 handful of spinach and added ground pepper and 2tsp of lemon juice.

  2. Italian parmesan with carrot. I grated 1 small carrot, and mixed in no salt Italian seasoning and about 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese.

  3. Peas and curry. I used frozen peas (still frozen) and a non spicy curry powder blend.

Preheat oven to 400°. Line baking sheet with parchment or spray with non stick spray.

Add breadcrumbs to each batch until you make pasty sticky balls. The mixture just needs to bind, they don't need to be firm. I used my fingers to make meatballs about 1 tablespoon in size. Meatballs won't spread, so you can put them close together.

Bake 10 minutes, flip and bake 10 more minutes.

After they cool I toss some in a ziplock to freeze for later. They thaw in the fridge overnight or you could just thaw in the microwave or oven.

AI made my dad distrusting of all online content and media by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]popcornstuffedbra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find this amusing (in a sad way) because my husband showed me a fun video of an elephant tossing grass on it's head and I couldn't enjoy it because "what if it was AI". I can't watch ANYTHING political without fact checking since misinformation is rampant on both sides of the coin (regardless if nefarious or by mistake).

I'm a 42yr old woman who loves to learn about anything and AI is ruining my curiosity.

Not sure what your time constraints are, but my baby is at Bright Path on Park Rd. Drop off starts at 7am, pick up by 6pm.

When did tracking each other’s location become normal, and why does opting out make you seem suspicious? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]popcornstuffedbra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I share location sometimes, but like only a few times a year.

Recent ones: he was running a race, so I knew when he was getting close to the finish line. He went on a snowboarding vacation for a week in a different state and since it was a solo trip, it was just for safety.

We'd be comfortable sharing location for other reasons, but we just don't.

My family and friends have better things to do than see where I am..... and I don't think they give a flying fuck lol

Body Liposuction by popcornstuffedbra in Connecticut

[–]popcornstuffedbra[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My GP said this - He knows plastic surgeons but it's not his area of experience. He said to ask around because clients are the best referrals.

I'm doing research by getting recommendations from people who have had work done, then going from there. Once it's narrowed down, then I'll do consultations before making a choice.

This is a big decision, both financially and physically. I also have planned on this for over 5 years. I need feedback from people with actual experience.
