The problem stems from the term ‘GenAI’. These systems use math to predict things. There are a lot of valid mathmatical calculations to predict out there. Rendering lighting is one of them.

Human language and imagery isn’t one of them, which is what idiots have been trying to funnel through these models.

Neat! I am glad to have helped connect some dots! Your description fired some neurons and I had to think back to a Halloween party in maybe 1993 or so.

Shot in the dark here: “The Willies”. It’s kids telling horror stories and there’s one story about a bully killing monster “Bad Apples” is the story.

Really young Sean Astin.

Edit: found a trailer, excuse the youtube.

Out of curiosity, was the monster humanoid and it dragged a teacher into the ceiling?

There were betrayals and brutal slayings to go around between and through the World Wars.

When I see these sorts of portrayals of communists and anarchists I always wonder why the contemporary actions of the Whites or the Fascists get to enjoy omission.

Like: Mahkno is a popular example and figure, but he and his army were a component of a larger class system. Hryhoriv, a contemporary, was a large reason for the eventual downfall of all the atamans, including Mahkno, even though Mahkno was the one who killed him.

Another example is Durruti in the Spanish Civil War, whom I admittedly don’t know a great deal about. But he died for reasons that are not clear except: war. It’s a topic of literature at any rate.

After the Republican forces lost the war it was Francoist forces that exterminated anarchists in one of many White Terrors of the 20th century.

We put a lot of meaning on ‘Boots on the ground.’

I always have to remind myself being able to stream audio from a cellphone while driving across a city is also a pretty crazy development.

TVs became SmartTVs and now need the internet to turn on. The TVs need an OS now to internet to do TV.

Antennae broadcast TV seems like an ancient magic.

The best single pizza was a pepperoni pizza from a street vendor in Hawaii many years ago, with hot sauce I still special order from the islands.

However… if we’re just talling toppings a pineapple, peppercini pizza is my dark horse favorite pizzas. I first tried essentially on a bet. Never would’ve expected it to be so good, and have since determined it’s best (optionally) with chicken, feta, and/or roasted garlic.

Reminds me of the Palladium monk occupation. Strictly about dodging and the point was monks did NOT attack or fight. Striking an opponent meant being defrocked and losing monk status. I thought it was a neat take (and a direct response to the DnD monk trope.)

Pure dialogue and skill class. Never got a Palladium campaign really going though. Just a sea of worldbuilding.

I don’t really know 5e very well, nor PF, but monks were always kind of an awkward fit in 3.5 too. From what I understand the redesign put then closer to an old 3.5 prestige class with the ki strikes and such.

The meat of the class that I think is valuable is a martial that’s survivability is in dodging and whose offensive loop is to set up and exploit vulnerability each turn, whether it’s by buffing themselves or debuffing their enemy.

sad monk class sounds

But seriously, I always felt archetype of light armor being the ‘stealth’ armor class was silly. Sure, less penalty than chains and plates, but still.

Congratulations!

From,

There’s this one neat trick: Just call the communists fascist!

Now you can support foreign invasion and regime change as a proud member of anti-fa!

…Still won’t oppose capitalism though.

Spongebob’s eyebrows are symbolically, if not literally, Amazon. What did the artist mean by this?

Part of this I believe can be attributed to labelling rules. Only the concentrate portion can be called juice.

When it is made from concentrate the reconstituting water is the main ingredient. What’s shitty is that water gets more and more sugar/HFCS mixed in so less concentrate is used. Getting it down to 10% or less like that: it’s just flavoring the corn.

Especially the pizza box.

With sitting members of Congress I always try to acknowledge many of their communications are to, and meant for, other members of Congress, some/many of whom are the most unhinged people imaginable.
