I have no idea if that's a legit response BUT in the event that it is, that uniform in the pick is not the same as what they have for this next round. This is it, and it is way way way unacceptable. I used to have lingerie undies like this and I hated them, I called it the labia splitter.

I have played many games similar to this one, and I hate to admit this, but I think I'm too stupid for CK3. I just don't know enough about English royalty/gentry shit to keep up.

As someone that grew up in the 90s watching NASCAR Dale was also hella legit. He hated the Confederate flag and was quoted as saying, "racism is a moral commitment to ignorance." I miss when rednecks understood the fight and also hated cops. Now they suck and give the rest of us a bad name.

Well I have a fine arts degree with minors in Art History and Art Theory so idk how much more qualified you'd like someone to be to weigh in on this. But I see you're clearly very emotionally invested in this so you have a good day, try to see some sun today ✌🏽

No one using AI image generation tools is making art. At best they are commissioning images or "art" from a computer program, to think otherwise is honestly silly and ridiculous. They are doing the exact same thing that's been done for centuries. They are describing the type of imagery they would like created and then someone else is doing the work. For AI tools the "someone doing the work" is the programers of the AI tool which is spitting out the image. Trust me I've used these tools you could monkey slap the keyboard and still get a usable image, I've tried it. AI image generation is just a faster form of emailing, calling, or writing to an artist and asking for them to paint their town chaple, or their portrait, or whatever else they desire if they have the money to pay the artist or in this instance AI tool.

The challenge is deciding if image generation tools are creating art or not and the answer is no they aren't. Art generation takes human hands because, as you've said, art is many things but one you mentioned was it's to be thought provoking. To create something thought provoking there must be themes, purpose, etc. and right now AI is not capable of injecting themes or purpose into it's work. Maybe in the future AI can do that but until then it's just image generation and it's totally fine to like it but it's not art. There are even plenty of people who are artists who aren't in museums, wanna know why? It's because they are just generating images they aren't creating art. Their work is not thought provoking, it doesn't have a theme, or purpose etc.

It's insanely obvious with these discussions who actually has and has not either studied art themselves or even just been to an art museum where they actually absorbed any information. Invoking emotion is like the bare minimum, barely even scratching the surface, of what constitutes art. And if you haven't studied art or spoken with someone who has that's totally okay! No shame in that, lots of people haven't but maybe nows a great time to jump into art it's really enjoyable and there's lots of incredible museums to visit that will have lots of information to provide visitors with context to the works so you have a better understanding of why whats in the museum is art.

Im not trying to argue with you here, I'm just giving you information so you are better informed and don't sound like a douche nozzle in public anymore.

If anyone in your family starting at like your second cousin and closer have already done DNA testing then the cats outta the bag on worrying about your privacy.

These guys are just modern conquistadors. Them, their rhetoric, and their thirst for Christian domination is nothing new to literally anyone not white.

Imagine a porn site telling you to seek help because you're a filthy pervert. Thats gotta push some to get some help I'd think.

There are people in these states who have called it their home for their entire lives, they can't get out and have no family anywhere else. Sane people who are terrified of what's happening and are literally begging for help but all anyone sees is this shit so they think we are all the same. I'm literally begging the US or Europe to come and fucking help the southern US, do fucking ANYTHING at this point, please.

Imo Bad Company is still the best that the Battlefield franchise has put out. But I didn't play any before it so maybe it's just nostalgia.

So so incredibly true. I provide Admin support for folks that want to publish apps with Apple and let me tell you, it's the wild fuckin west out there and I'm not even talking about the coding part which I'm sure is a hellscape if my side of things is anything to go by.

Mom and pop got an app idea for passive income so they just hire a company to publish it for then, usually from India, with devs who can't put two and two together because they work for assholes that want apps pumped out asap. They don't want critical thinkers, they don't want knowledgeable employees, what they want are tons of employees they can take advantage of as cheaply as possible that can do a good enough job to stay afloat and make them money. These guys know basic code and nothing else nor do they seem to want to know how to actually manage a development team, they seem like they are under a lot of pressure. I personally don't actually code or know how to code outside of basic HTML Myspace bullshit but I do know how to get shit published and I know how to get the apps ready for publishing. I know these things because our guides are massive and massively detailed with screenshots to help you out and yet I'm busier than ever. 90% of my job outside of the admin and fraud prevention work I have to do is sitting on the phone reading instructions word for word or copying and pasting it from the guides for people who should be able to understand the content, but they don't.

Imo as someone that's been doing this for 5 years now, it's a bubble and she's ready to burst. It'll be another .com crash that we'll all pretend we didn't see coming.
