“Barack HUSSEIN Obama did 9/11”

I can see your point. I may be using the wrong word too when I said it was not entirely the commenters fault. I meant for it to be more of an empathetic statement rather than one of absolution. As for for whether it is a big deal or not, that will probably have to be it’s own debate, so I am fine withr a simple agree to disagree.

I do agree that AI slop is a problem, and explaining my viewpoint on it would be a whole post on it’s own.

As for my comment, I said it was not entirely their fault, in that human neurology includes pattern recognition that is so strong that it is easy to stereotype something. The commenter may have seen that art style used a lot in AI slop and stereotyped it. The process can be overcome by paying closer attention to what you are looking at.

Given that this is 196 community with random memes and pics, not everyone is paying close attention. The commenter could have paid more attention before calling it slop, but it’s also not a high stakes situation. People makes mistakes, and the commented even acknowledged it.

tl;dr

Chill out, we all make mistakes, and it’s only an internet comment.

When I was younger I had a really fast metabolism, so it was very hard for me to gain weight. People always told me I was lucky, but I would explain that it comes at a price. If I skipped a meal, I would get the shakes and start to get a headache.

Eh, it’s a style a lot of AI generators will use so it’s not entirely your fault. I thought it was AI at first glance, but when I looked at the details and everything made sense that’s when I knew it wasn’t slop.

I’ve watched a couple videos on some of the dumb phones listed, as I was curious about alternatives as well. The ones that can install Signal are not true dumb phones and have android installed.

What sets then apart is the physical form factor is still very much dumb phone. That means it typically has a smaller screen, and a number pad style keyboard.

Depends how pedantic you want to be. A large portion of Russian land is in Asia.

My MAGA family member sent me an instagram post of a screenshot of a Mayo Clinic article headline that said measles prevents some forms of cancer, so we should just let it run wild.

Ignore the fact that the natural form of measles has the risk of causing too many complications and long term negative health effects to be considered effective, and the cancer prevention research is on genetically modified strain specific to fighting cancer cells. Naturally, the instagram post did not link to the full article.

Who is the Judas that took him out, though?

I’ll do you one better, why is political occultism?

When I go to a protest with friends/family we leave our phones at home and then use basic walkie talkies. It’s open channel, so no privacy, but the main goal is to just communicate basics like “I’m safe.” We predetermine a couple of locations to meet up at if things get rough and we’re separated.

Specifically more female billionaires, so women can finally achieve equality!

At that point, it basically circles back to horses.

disgusting squishy, drippy blushing slut of a vegetable

Tomatoes are actually a fruit, not a vegetable.

In sci-fi proper that is also a plot point of Isaac Asimov’s The Foundation. The giant galactic empire collapses and all the scholars are holed up on a planet to preserve knowledge. They then go out to other planets and give technology, but everyone is so ignorant that it seems like magic and the scholars kind of roll with it.

True! I tried looking around for one, but after scrolling through 5 long pages of search results I settled on using an image that could get the job done.

A program I have used to help with outlining is Manuskript. It has a series of questions it will ask you to help with character and world building. It also has a section to write the novel in and keep track of chapters.

It is a bit on the older side, with the last update about a year and a half ago. It is available on Flathub if you want to take a look: https://flathub.org/apps/ch.theologeek.Manuskript

You mean die?

I think they mean “unalive”

my flavor of insane is incompatible with somebody else flavour of insane

Acknowledging that both (or more, I aint judging) parties of the relationship bring their own flavor of insanity truly is the foundation to good relationships.
