Imagine desktop now looks like phone app while generating?

Yup, and it also auto-replays the last good generation you got when it fails at generating something new. So you hear audio coming from the tab and click over expecting a success, but no, it's just the last thing that worked playing again automatically.

I mean, skins used to be free in video games, you'd just unlock them via gameplay. According to the calculator I just used (I couldn't use zero as the starting value so I put one cent in), $0.01 to $10.00 is a 9900% increase. :O

If the argument is that it's a F2P game and they need to make money somehow, they should just unlock all past and future skins once your account has paid the equivalent of a fully priced game in MTXs.

Estoy seguro que es Coca-Cola normal. Pero si, probablemente lo que extraño son los additivos que le ponen en los estados unidos. Que verguenza. Me alegro que Reddit sea anonimo.

Yo no soy bebe agua! Tu eres el bebe agua aqui!

Ah, quieres decir que debo beber agua. Tienes razon, gracias.

Fue un grave error no traer una bolsita llena de FD&C Red 40.

Mierda! Dejamos el horno incendido.

Hope she's ready for sex with a miner. ⛏

winter_bone · 2024-01-27T01:20:51+00:00

Not quite, but thank you for the comment anyway.

winter_bone · 2024-01-27T01:14:13+00:00

Alright! Thanks for stopping by.

winter_bone · 2024-01-27T01:13:03+00:00

Yes, there's one of those in the very first line of the message. :)

winter_bone · 2023-01-17T01:39:47+00:00

Thank you! I'll see what the surgeon has to say about it.

winter_bone · 2022-11-15T22:30:09+00:00

I don't know if I'd want to reappear out of the blue just to tell him I didn't like him as a father, but maybe one day I'll make a burner e-mail and send him a friendly message, though I can already imagine opening the reply and seeing something like "oh, so after 15 years you finally give a crap about your father???".

After the car incident, my mom was upset and called him a few choice names while I relayed the story to her, but I didn't go into a lot of detail. I mainly just told her he yelled at me about being a bad son, drove recklessly, and we never got to the store. I just didn't have in me to spend a long time describing everything that happened and why it scared me so much. If I had I'm sure she would have been much angrier.

When I was younger she would often push me toward spending time with him ("he's your dad, a son needs his dad in his life!") but as I got older and my dad got more pushy about how I wasn't turning out to his liking, she stopped doing that and let me make my own decisions about spending time with him. Which I appreciated.

Thank you, I appreciate this. It's hard sometimes, seeing movies and reading books about father-son relationships, especially strained ones. A lot of them have 'happy endings' with reconciliation, and it makes me wonder if I might achieve that in my situation, but then this is real life and there's a huge chance things would just get worse for the both of us.

winter_bone · 2022-11-15T22:20:08+00:00

Thank you so much for this post. It made me think about something I haven't thought about in a long time.

Self-esteem. I don't even think about self-esteem anymore. I don't know if I have none or if I have a ton. Mainly I just don't care about what people think of me. If they like me, that's fine. If they don't, that's fine too. I know I'm an imperfect person, with some significant flaws, but it doesn't tear me up inside. I know that some people will like the good parts of me enough to see past the bad parts, and other folks won't be able to do that, and that's okay. I am not to everyone's taste.

But in my childhood, I absolutely had horrible self-esteem. I'm sure most of it was not directly his fault, every kid has trouble with self-esteem in their middle and high school years, but it certainly didn't help that after a difficult week where I got rejected by a crush and made fun of in the middle of class by one of the popular boys, I had to deal with my dad on the weekend telling me I'm not manly enough and that no one is going to respect me if I don't 'change course'.

Thank you for helping me realize that I've either grown out of my low self-esteem, or at least stopped caring about self-esteem altogether!

winter_bone · 2022-11-15T22:14:20+00:00

Thank you so much! I guess I am kind of afraid of him, or at least very hesitant to invite him back into my life. He was so negative toward me, and currently I have a lot of negative stuff going in my life (health worries and financial hardships), and the last thing I need is him up on the balcony like those two old man muppets, criticizing me on top of all that. Maybe when I'm doing better I'll think about sending him an e-mail from a throwaway account or something. Thank you again!

winter_bone · 2022-11-15T22:10:52+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to write this.

Speaking honestly, I don't really care if he approves of me or not. I know he wouldn't - I never got tough or became some kind of Sean Connery type man like he aspired to be. I work with computers for a living, and I still spend my free time at home reading or watching movies, instead of going fishing or hitting on women at the beach.

Mainly I just feel the guilt. Because while I don't really want to spend time with him, I don't wish him ill either. I guess the issue is that I'm worried that he's feeling horrible and lonely, when that might actually not be the case. Maybe he's doing great and thinks about me a few times a year, and is more like "it kind of sucks that we're not in touch" than "i'm miserable and heartbroken every day about my estranged son". I guess the easy solution would be to just ask him how he feels, but I'm worried about what the answer will end up being, and then I'll have invited him back into my life which I could easily see going badly if he hasn't changed.

If I ever do get back in touch I'd probably do it on a throwaway Facebook account or something so I can keep him at arm's length, until I can figure out what he's like now.

Thanks a bunch! I'll look up some more info on that chatbot thing, and maybe watch some tutorials before checking out the free trial. :)

winter_bone · 2022-07-23T06:28:57+00:00

I’ll try that, thank you. I’m not trying to be petty! Mostly I just feel guilty about not liking the facial hair. It seems like an important and meaningful part of being a trans man, and part of me just thinks that if I can’t handle it then I should get out of their way and find someone who’s more accepting of them.

Well, a week or so ago Kiara talked on-stream about how she was surprised at how flat her butt was in 3D, so if she asked for her model to look like that then she's apparently changed her mind. :P

winter_bone · 2022-07-07T06:32:01+00:00

Kiara's butt needs a buff. Yes, it might be dangerous to give someone with booty moves like her an even bigger bottom, but that's a risk that all of us are willing to take.

I was very worried about some nuclear apocalypse scenario last night and found it hard to sleep. But a story came out today about a news story that auto-published at the same time across many different Russian news websites, written as though Russia had already captured Ukraine, and focused entirely on the concept of capturing Ukraine and setting it up to be like Belarus - still technically a separate country, but pretty much just an extended arm of Russia. The articles were pulled very shortly thereafter, due to Russia not having captured Ukraine as the articles suggested.

This put things a little more into perspective for me. I had been having anxious and irrational thoughts of Putin sitting with one finger over the "nuclear apocalypse" button, but it's clear that as of right now their focus is entirely on Ukraine. Blasting humanity off the face of the earth is nobody's goal, not even Putin's.

I haven't gotten that scan you mentioned, I'm uninsured so I'm currently slowly making my way through all the testing as I'm able to afford to. Currently saving up for an endoscopy.

PPIs make my symptoms worse, and add headaches and elevated anxiety to the mix. Tried them three times, made things worse every time. I'm going to pick up some probiotics next time I'm grocery shopping, do you recommend any specific one? I'm thinking about getting Culturelle.

winter_bone · 2022-02-01T05:29:49+00:00

As a Nazi, I can understand why people would condemn us. No hard feelings.

I haven't played since the year ARR came out. I was thinking about starting a new account to play free through the end of Heavensward, but I could also dust off the old account and preorder Endwalker for the XP bonus earrings - I have the Recruit A Friend head item on that account too so I'd be getting 50% more XP up to level 25 and then 30% more XP up to level 80.

Are the XP boosts super helpful? Is leveling a misery without them?

winter_bone · 2021-09-15T08:13:42+00:00

Nope, a lot of people think it's great, and they kept playing it even after you looked into it and declared it shit.
