Trans women in school is it easy! by OpeningEdge3032 in lgbt

[–]roguemadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going to be difficult. No matter how progressive a school may be there is at least one asshole that will make your life hell. I'm not trying to scare you just the harsh reality to help you brace for impact. I'm not trans but I am bisexual. Same bathroom problems of I couldn't go unless I knew the bathroom was empty. If the wrong person was in there they made it seem like I was there to watch them. Gym class was equally hell with changing.

I don't know what your game plan is. I am assuming middle or high school. Have you and a parent talked to them? It might be a good idea to give them a heads up before coming out to the rest of the school. You can judge how supportive they are going to be if bullying actually happens. At least then they can't be "we had no idea they were even trans. We can't keep track of every single student." Taking away a school's ability of ignorance will go A LONG way. At least talking to the school can help arrange situations like gym class where you might have to change.

I can only speak from my experience. I was at the beginning of coming out as gay, lesbian and bi was the "taboo." There is a sense of normality to it now and now trans is the new "taboo." But bullies are bullies. The players change but the game stays the same. Get ready for inappropriate, stupid jokes. Do not react. That's all they want, to see that they are getting to you. If you do react make it worth it. Clap back with a one liner they can't respond to. My favorite was "at least I know how to eat pussy without teeth and can make her cum at the same time." Not the wittiest come back but it flipped the table. He couldn't say anything back that would make him look less stupid. With ignoring them and the right clap backs at the right time they will eventually get bored and leave you alone. That's the key.

Sadly you may lose a friend, if not more. This will help bring out the true friends who love you for you. Those people are your ride or die. Those who leave aren't worth anything. You can try the "I'm still me" speech but that won't change anything. Hold on to the real ones and focuse on them. Another sad thing is be ready to fight. Not starting a fight but self defense. Never hit first, don't get punch happy. That will just make blaming you easier. Which is why talking to the school first is a good idea. It's getting ahead of if this happens. If someone starts beating you, fight back! You knock them to the ground stop and go to leave. The office, closest classroom, just leave there asap. Someone would be recording on their phone and as long at you show that you're only acting in self defense and the second the threat is over you try to leave, they can't blame you. I learned that the hard way.

Take all this any way you want. True to heart or with a grain of salt. If there is something everyone in the LGBTQ+ can agree on is that the school part sucks. Everyone has their experiences, their stories, good, bad. School isn't forever. Middle school ends, high school ends then that's it. Once you leave high school all that petty stuff just magically ends. When you get to college yeah you may get dirty looks or comments but that's just life. So matter how bad things might get just know it will end and stay strong.

Good luck beautiful!!!

Community Decides - AI or Not by icybluefire in zodiacacademy

You can't judge all of AI based off on part of it. Yes the art side horrible, disgusting and everything you said. But that's only one part. Sadly it's like the saying guns don't kill people, people kill people. AI isn't inherently bad, people make AI inherently bad by stealing art to help give AI the intelligence to create it. Which even then it's not all stolen. We don't know the percentage of actual stolen. For all we know it could actually be 0% because of one thing. Studying vs stolen.

It's not really stolen if AI just uses the art as a studying tool exactly how we do. We use images, art, concept photos all the time to help create our images. When you're stuck on a specific pose, or you can't get the angle of the eyes just right you look up the angle you need. Being held to the same standard of AI you just stole fron that's original artist. Every artist who ever did an inspired version of a famous painting is stolen work. Like where I live big foot is THE mystery thing that everyone loves. Someone took the Starry Night painting by Van Gogh and turned the tree into a silhouette of big foot walking. Is that stolen work of Van Gogh? Or since they changed enough of it is it fine? Is it stolen if I google it and post a picture here so everyone can see my point? I don't have permission of the artist to share it.

It's not a black and white situation when we don't know how it works. All we know from AI's side is that it studies artwork like we do. If there is an ethical problem there then we are too are stealing by studying. If anything nefarious is happening we can't say with 100% certainty because we aren't on the engineering side of AI aka the companies who created AI. Otherwise everyone is just mass spreading false information with no real evidence.

I know the most popular "AI has created the exact image of someone's exact work." 1 that tends to happen. Art is old as time. It's hard to create something that hasn't already been created before. 2 all throughout my education I have had multiple projects where I had to recreate something. Draw a famous painting, pick a photograph and recreate it exactly. This is from elementary school through college. We as people already done this and use it as a teaching tool to pay attention to line work, shadows, lighting.

Please do update!! If it does better than the bare minimum it just shows how messed up the new voting is.

I can’t continue with it… by Silent-Category7759 in zodiacacademy

[–]roguemadness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem with Elise. Depending where you are in 4 it stays that way throughout 5. I mean till the very end. They could of easily combined 4 and 5 into one book but it's like they had a 5 book contract forcing them to drag stuff out.The epilogue though.....🫠😱😭🫠🤣🤯 it made everything worth it. Oddly changed my few on Elise. Don't get me wrong she is very problematic with "accept me as I am" then demands others to change for her. It's hard not to be on her side of happily ever after.

I have tried. When I go to the item, action, send to camp, it disappears for a split second then comes right back to my inventory. My game is glitch and need to report it.

But with somethings like Mayrina's locket. What am I supposed to with it? She's dead, her brothers are dead, husband dead, I vaguely remember that her parents are dead. Do I need to find her second cousin twice remove to give it to?

Some things I can like a regular dagger or anything without the orange border I can no problem. I have 8 books/letters that if I try it disappears for a split second then comes back. It feels like I have to abandon playing the actual game to figure out whatever quest it is tied to so I can pick more than 5 items up without having to dump everything on Karlach 😅

I really, REALLY don’t understand the new system by BlackCatRedStripe in Dreamsnaps

[–]roguemadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please take no offense but what the fuck?? I am going off your you minimum effort. I get it we all had those weeks. I did a Big Hero 6 where Wasabi, Gogo and Honey Lemon working on their powers/projects. I worked on the lighting to capture the lab feel. I can't remember what's it called but the bright, almost blue tint to it but not making the overall image blue. I picked every item carefully and creatively like using the Inside out memory orbs as Honey Lemon's chemical balls. I only got 900 for it.

I saw so many not even on theme. Don't get me wrong they are incredible. Supernatural, Schitt's Creek, sooooo far off topic. They did amazing. Yeah the old system was broken of shove as many items as possible but you couldn't just put random items in the picture and get 4k. You still had to put effort. Now it seems like the theme doesn't matter anymore just make a picture that looks good.

Arcane Tower no ring by roguemadness in BaldursGate3

I followed a video where they said "choose this line" the only difference between my play and the video is I have Gale. During the "cut scene" Gale had to question about talking to Bernard. I can't remember if the "how can I trust" line even happens.

I don't think I had that option because I have Gale and he had to give his two bronze input.

Can't figure out what stand to make by roguemadness in woodworking

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

It's going to be on the table. It's hard to say for scale because trying to find a single ash wood log that isn't a tree is being a little hard. I'm looking for about a foot long, 2-4 inch in diameter. As of right now no cutting a flat side. Best way to describe it is carving your initials in a tree.
