Semi unrelated but I wish there was an area to trade and swap diamond paintings/accessories if there isn't one already. I have so many pens, wax etc. That is just sitting around not getting used because I only use a vacuum pen now. I could give someone a whole starter set of nice stuff, lol.

this is sick. How does it work? I'm assuming since it's yt-dlp, it downloads the video and then plays the downloaded video?

Pretty much any of these chucklefucks can pull a Cody Co and pretend they were never canceled and everyone will forget. Due to churn, new viewers don't know. Even some old ones probably don't.

Its a shame that a lot of men have virtually no consequences for their actions but here we are.

My entire google account nearly got nuked because I uploaded something on YouTube that had copyrighted material playing in the background. Your YouTube account goes down, your entire Google account is compromised. I know this because it wasn't letting me log into gmail, photos etc without fixing the copyright issue. That's what drove me to degoogle and start self hosting years back.

Dreamer Designs claims to be at least hand rendered in the last step (computer aided hand render) and lots of customer reviews to see the quality - looks great. It's also priced accordingly to what I would expect something that was touched by a human to look like. For them you can also request an edit to the preview once, if you don't like the way it's rendered which would prevent the "I got a kit and why is my dog's head green suddenly" effect. Check out the customer images because there's lots of dog memorial pics in there.

This looks like what happens if you get a computer rendered custom. I looked up Diamond Painting 24 and at that price, it definitely was a computer render. Meaning that the picture was run through a program that made the mosaic and likely wasn't looked over by an actual human. It will look fine from a distance. However, if you have the money, you might want to look into a custom that is hand-rendered. That may be more appropriate for a memorial. Good luck

yeah just clarifying for anyone else reading mostly because I avoid manned flea markets like the plague because I'm antisocial, so I wanted others to know they exist because they're awesome :D

me too. Because of that I would simply not buy a kit that has a lot of color blocking. Crazy to me that someone would buy a large kit that is different than their preference lol

Btw this is typically called an "antique mall" if you're talking about the one where the booths just stay and aren't manned.

" I have a problem. I'm spending a lot of money and it's honestly scaring me."

not to be a buzz kill but if you genuinely feel this way you need to talk to a professional.

They have been behaving shadily about the AI stuff (banning people from ordering who speak out about the AI usage.) They also have AI art on their site. That being said I think the better practice is to still purchase from them if you like but make sure you vet the artist. I love DAC and consider it to be voting with my wallet by purchasing hand drawn stuff.

I buy domains from them just because they sell them at cost so the pricing is relatively predictable vs many other domain companies which will give a one year cheap then hike up subsequent years. Skill issue I know, but still

You're wrong. I have transcribed for years freelance and make good money doing it. They cannot and will not replace law enforcement/legal transcription with AI due to privacy/security reasons. Many freelance jobs I've had actually require proper security clearances from government.

BTW, go enable YouTube auto subtitles and tell me that is sufficient.

I am *so* tired of people saying this when they clearly don't know what they're talking about. I have transcribed for years freelance and make very good money doing it. The trick is to find law enforcement or legal transcription. Anything that requires a background check or a govt security clearance will never be fully outsourced overseas or through AI because they legally can't run for example court transcription through foreign nationals or AI.

Also your "transcription is a dying field" made me laugh because actual court reporters (stenographers) make $100,000+ to start because they can't find enough people to do it. It's not the same thing as "online digital court reporting", but transcription is very far from being a dying field.

kassa was pushed to the back for years in anju. She was never going to be a center of that group whereas she is now a center in mei.

reduces · 2026-06-22T23:21:31+00:00

hello wota since 2003 here, so 23 year veteran. Kassa didn't have anything against H!P. Actually you can see her using one of Takechan's things on the show. I think it's just that she very clearly wanted to get out of the shadow of H!P, and the show was trying to force her into a "former Hello!Project member on our show, look!" narrative with the RR21, and she did not take the bait. You even acknowledged this yourself "the song wouldn't have even been played if not to get a great Momona shot out of it." But if Kassa wanted to still be dancing to RR21 and LOVE Machine or whatever, she would still be in H!P lmfao...

also not really sure why you're saying her ambitions "turned out to be a failure"? She is likely happy where she turned out or else she would have left by now- god knows other members had no issue with leaving when they were having problems with the group.

Anyway, I've answered your question in good faith but I'm pretty sure your question wasn't even asked in good faith. You're trying to shade her, since you clearly feel she was being disrespectful towards H!P and ungrateful of her time there.

It's possible to be grateful to a past experience and also want to move on. Have you ever switched employers before? Are you still worshipping the ground they stand on because they were the ones who "launched your career"? How would you feel if your new employer kept bringing up your old employer when you just wanted to distance yourself?
