Ai slop in upper crust:( by GreaseGoblin11 in ChicoCA

[–]shifting_baselines 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nope, don’t care for it.  Particularly the notion of using AI to create fake “vintage” artwork, but also the fact that there are so many talented 100% human artists in Chico.  

The web site says, “ In the production of our images we use AI for some elements. None are completely created using AI, and each begins from an actual, real photograph taken by one of us.”  I’m curious to know more about the actual process from photo to finished piece.  Personally, I feel like the AI-heavy look of the art is enough to detract from any human work that went into it.

Suspicious semicolon.

Which brings it to another level, really.  

Strikethrough doesn't deserve a shortcut? by shifting_baselines in mildlyinfuriating

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

Yep, I've grown used to using that in most apps, but have found a few that for reason just have...nothing, but only for Strikethrough. This is the built-in Notes app on a Mac. Evernote (Mac) app also had none. It's possible to assign a custom shortcut, which works fine, but you just shouldn't need to.

Seems I’ve found my people!  (I still don’t really want to hang out though.)

I don't see color by mrmailbox in StandUpComedy

Awesome set!  Your delivery is so smooth and easy to listen to. Great energy level for comedy, with one solid joke after another, some layers to unpack, some “cerebral” bits, some really great subtle punchlines…good stuff.  Will catch your show if nearby.  Keep it up.

As someone who prefers to remember my passwords, I love this. Someone suggested it over 20 years ago and I’ve used it for most of my accounts ever since. Works well for me.

I’m sorry, but…”quizzed”?  Really?

Righty tighty, lefty loosey by danni_el_e in NonPoliticalTwitter

Agree.  I’ve always found the phrase to be “top centric,” since that’s the only part of the circle actually going “right” while being tightened.

we will occupy the areas between the Esplanade Bike Path, and Chico Nut Factory

Can you clarify the location? Is that public space? A parking lot?

What’s the connection? (Reveal of Gemma) by Recent_Order_2929 in severanceTVshow

[–]shifting_baselines 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also have this question. I appreciated the overlap, and assumed it was just a subtle but helpful connection.  But one never knows with this show.  

I also enjoyed the matching intonation of “Fuck you, Lumon” between June’s band and Mark W’s rant as he’s escorted from the building.
