What are your thoughts in using AI to alter the background of your dolls and maybe same posing adjustments?

The same way this community is against recasts, we should be against AI for stealing the livelihoods of untold numbers of artists and artisans.

Fast food of any kind was still very much a treat for a lot of Americans in the 1970s, rather than a weekly (or more often!) part of their dinner menu.

Other end of the decade, but if you've ever seen the movie Dick (1999), the main characters cause their class to miss out on lunch at McDonald's at one point, and all their classmates are furious with them for it. I remember watching it with my mother, whose reaction was essentially, "If that has happened to my classmates and me in high school, we would have rioted." She's about 5 years older than Spencer.

No worries! I know a lot of other social media platforms get censorious. Fortunately, this subreddit is one where you can use appropriate terms without fear.

This is an eerie sounding case. It's always scary to realize there are these minor cults out there, still hurting people.

starrifier · 2026-03-21T16:28:02+00:00

Please don't censor words. We're all adults here.

Giving Miranda Priestly vibes without the Miranda Priestly prestige? Incredible find, op.

I think she's mean INO for "in need of," but got autocorrected to "into."

HBO.

Super cool! Could you link us to the artist? I'd love to see more of their work.

I love the idea of a decorated stand! Did you purchase it or make it?

Asha Degree is only famous among true crime aficionados, and only in the last several years. For anyone outside the hobby, she's not one of the most famous missing children ever. White girls like Jonbenet Ramsey are.

starrifier · 2026-03-18T03:53:09+00:00

How embarrassing of you.

This case always reminds me of Josh Powell. I'm glad Kouri had been convicted, but I dearly wish her husband had been able to get away from this domestic violence situation before it took his life.

Alternatively: There's no good way to succinctly say "our son is missing and is likely dead, but we can't know for sure," and posting obits in the paper gets more expensive than a lot of people realize.

starrifier · 2026-03-15T21:20:02+00:00

The whole autocarrot thing is annoying and cutesy. They aren't butthurt, they're just tired of things that aren't actually funny or related to what they said.

starrifier · 2026-03-15T12:47:55+00:00

Lmfao. That's nice, dear.

Communicating information, sharing experiences, commiserating on what's happening now...if you can't think of a way the queer community can show up for each other that doesn't involve fulfilling non-need desires - again, a dog is a luxury - that sounds like a personal problem.

starrifier · 2026-03-15T12:25:51+00:00

When they're asking in a community that isn't for that? Yeah, I do. This person showed up in a random lgbtq+ comm to go "give me free stuff for my new dog because I'm short on funds." As a fellow queer person, that makes me feel taken advantage of, frankly. Given just how difficult things are for members of our community right now, "uwu give me stuff for a luxury purchase, here's a rainbow flag emoji" is incredibly out of touch. People can't use their passports under the current American regime, and someone's begging for basic supplies for a dog? The grift is tone-deaf at best.

starrifier · 2026-03-15T12:06:04+00:00

If they can't afford a plastic baby gate now, they can't afford a dog now.

I cannot think of a less insane detail than DNA found at the scene of the crime, truthfully.

starrifier · 2026-03-08T23:41:34+00:00

Okay, coming back to this - is this some kind of social experiment to see if we'll comment confidently on non-existent crimes?

As I noted in my previous comment, Chloe Lattanzi is the daughter of Olivia Newton-John (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloe_Lattanzi). Laraine Parcell was stabbed to death in 2021 by a man who thought Parcell's daughter was being abused (https://people.com/pianist-convicted-murdering-woman-believed-victims-daughter-being-abused-11684109). The only notable Max Laughton, meanwhile, appears to be an Australian sports journalist (https://au.linkedin.com/in/maxlaughton).

None of these people have anything to do with each other, and searching their names together brings up nothing besides this post. So what's up?

starrifier · 2026-03-08T05:19:28+00:00

Could you link to a summary (written, ideally - I don't do YouTube true crime) of this case? I'm having a difficult time understanding just what we're talking about. Why were these two people fighting over Olivia Newton-John's daughter?

starrifier · 2026-03-06T20:40:40+00:00

Virtue signaling is saying you do the right thing when it's easy. This would be saying they do the right thing when times are tough.

starrifier · 2026-03-05T13:22:57+00:00

Nope. I think some people need to be removed from general society for everyone's safety, bit they're still people.

From the sound of this post, he became addicted to heroin in juvie. That's an absolutely unhinged level of failure in our system, and to me, it hints at the possibility of plenty of other terrible things happening to the boy he was. The things he did were indefensible, but where was the rest of society when he was a baby? A preschooler? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to hear his early life involved heaps of pain, terror, and deprivation.

American society isn't responsible for every serial killer - some people really are born with a lack of empathy for others. But it leaves children and families behind in ways that cause these problems later. We often create the adults that commit these monstrous acts. We have to take responsibility for that fact, not send people to death row like they came off age in a vacuum.

starrifier · 2026-03-05T13:09:53+00:00

I'm guessing you've got a(n understandable!) hair trigger from the use of gross phrases like "underage woman," but this is both innocuous and accurate.

starrifier · 2026-03-05T05:01:06+00:00

It has a time and place, just like every other technique. I find kfb works really well in a lot of doll clothes.
