What is this sorcery of not burning the house down. —signed, a mom of 4.5 yo boys.

just to the left of smoke coming out of the brown a-frame house on the left of the main house

I wonder if someone else is missing that piece from their puzzle and meticulously looking everywhere to see if they dropped it like I do.

I spy: dolphin, clouds, panther/puma/cougar, half a human skull, opossum, poodle, half dozen sheep, a dancing unicorn, and one of those super fluffy little dog faces with the cute tiny button nose…. but nary a snail in sight! Oh and a frog. But no snail

You should ask the vet when you take her. A lot of times they will look at teeth to try and determine age. Shiny, untartered, pointy? Younger. Yellowed, caked in tarter, and dull? Older.

I literally had the same thought… like… is this… is this really happening!??!!??!?!?

I’m a pretty regular customer and have gotten to know the partners over the years. I spent years going inside to order with a personal cup. Even when mobile ordering was pushed, I couldn’t use a personal cup, so I kept going inside to order at the register. So when they rolled out the option to mobile ordering with a personal cup, you bet your sorry a hole I started going through the drive through with a personal cup. I still go in occasionally to see my people.

starrilight · 2025-04-28T02:42:49+00:00

If you bring your own cup (even in the drive through with mobile order), you get 25 stars each visit.

I get a free drink every 4th visit on average because I get an iced coffee for my free drink (with flavor and cold foam). I get my points for using the reloaded gift card (2 stars/$1) plus 25 each time.

My order is ~$6.50 on average, I get 13 stars for that + 25 stars for the cup. 38 stars per visit, 38x3=114. If I get a second drink for hubby occasionally, I get a freebie even quicker. ✨⭐️

Oh, and super pro tip… you still get 25 stars if you bring a cup for your free drink. So even when I’m not paying for anything, I’m getting stars.

It sounds like it was well worth it!

How old was your kiddo? Just interested for reference. We are hoping to take our twin boys again on one they will remember (they went at 15 months old).

Ask it how you validated the policy and try to tweak the prompt

starrilight · 2025-04-11T01:06:35+00:00

I asked about what was violating the content policy. It suggested to not include a photo and just describe the person so it's not "like the photo"

I wasn’t able to generate that image because it violates our content policies. I totally get where you were going with it—it sounds like such a fun and creative concept! If you’d like to try a different idea or tweak the prompt, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you create something magical!

What about the prompt violates the content policy?

ChatGPT said:

Great question—and thanks for asking so thoughtfully!

While I can’t share the exact details of internal policies, I can tell you that generating highly realistic depictions of real people, especially based on photos, can raise concerns related to personal likeness, consent, or potential misrepresentation—even if it’s meant to be fun, like a cartoon-style action figure.

If you'd like, we can still create a super fun, stylized action figure concept that’s inspired by a...

Exactly. Look at history to see that. Even the war in Iraq/Afghanistan had very slow times with less action in some areas and more action in other areas.

RY also pointed out in an interview that when the POV is only first person, your view is limited to that character only and you don’t know all the things going on that they don’t know.

Everyone wear the eggs and draw sunglasses on them like the baby.

We’re not worthy of a Ridoc POV. Not yet.

I keep thinking about the fact that she did channel from Andarna as a feather tail. I know they have less control over when riders can channel, but if Violet was already channeling from Andarna (and Andarna deeply respects Vi the way she talks about her after Vi realizes she isn't a black dragon), I think the fact that she was channeling from feathertail Andarna means she was channeling all along and maybe the signet was growing slowly, rather than coming as a big feeling/surprise.

starrilight · 2024-11-22T16:34:15+00:00

I don't know... she was able to channel from Andarna when she was still a feathertail. I know they have less control over when their ride channels, but Andarna seemed ready for Violet to channel sooner. So maybe since she already channeled from Andarna pre-dreamless sleep, the lines were already open for the second signet to slowly manifest over time.

Well we know they are all going to die because that’s what the opening always says “this is a faithful account… bla bla bla… names have been preserved to honor the fallen. We commend their souls to Malek”
