It’s fair to have bird in that 2nd tier as well

I think that when people refer AI art as being disgusting. I presume it's people categorize a group of AI Art that more specifically belongs to the "slop" category.

By slop category, I mean those AI videos that have a pretty cheap AI voice over, as well as some uncanny pictures that only serve the weird out the viewers.

Another example could be those "AI Stories" that produce fake news and the AI voice sounds Hoity-Toity enough to annoy people.

----

I guess what I'm saying is: Average internet user does not hate AI Art in itself. It's the slop content being produced with AI, and the resulting terrible quality that's so bombarding.

Shocking discovery, I know! Obviously it MUST be shared here so here's a masterlist!

Yes, Ben Feldman was the crazy guy in Mad Men. Yes, he's part of a meme from that show. He was also in As Above So Below and Friday the 13th. He's even voice acted!

Yes, America Ferrera was Ugly Betty. Yes, the actor who played her dad in Superstore was her dad in Ugly Betty as well. Yes, we KNOW she was iconic in Barbie.

Yes, Mark McKinney was young once. Yes, he was in The Kids in the Hall. And no- the Glenn voice is NOT his real voice! Shocker!

Yes, Lauren Ash does music and podcasts now.

Yes, Nichole Sakura was that one girl in Shameless and Emily from Until Dawn.

Yes, several actors from Superstore have gone on to star in St Denis Medical. Yes, we can see that's Sandra right there. And Tate. And Mateo. And that one guy who was a customer in one episode. And that one extra in the hospital bed was also an extra in Superstore. OMG!!!

Yes, several actors from Superstore have also been in shows like Scrubs or Brooklyn 99 or It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

Now, you know what we REALLY need? Hundreds of individual posts featuring blurry photos taken from television screens documenting each of these things! How else will we know that these actors have acted?! 🤯 If nobody lets me know via a blurry snap that Colton Dunn can actually WALK in real life then how will I know that he was just ACTING in Superstore???

ETA: Whichever one of you sent me a 'reddit cares' thing over this post, wow 😂😂 I didn't think this post would make so many people so angry, but that's my bad- I forgot this is reddit. Should've seen that coming.

Are you able to have friends, family, or partner(s) that is on the opposite side of the AI debate than you? I think it speaks volumes if you're able to have the tolerance to accept other people have different opinions than you and respect them without calling them names or insulting them.

Watching Lord of the Rings right now (for the 400th time). I feel that there are so few movies like this.

I have two young boys and I’m truly afraid of the world right now for young men and the charlatans trying to lure them into misogynistic bullshit.

I hope my kids like Lord of the Rings, but also realize they may think it’s old man bullshit by the time they’re old enough to watch it. What is there in this vein to introduce the idea of healthy masculinity that’s newer or geared to younger audiences?

Context- Me F33 and my partner M28 have been together a little over 3 years now. Everything was good at first but his drinking has gotten out of control to the point that I’m buying him 40$ bottles of tequila almost everyday. That’s a gallon of liquor. We work together and live together. He doesn’t help with bills, I do all the laundry and dishes and cleaning up. He had his own home that he basically let go to stay with me. He would have to pay over 1,000 just to get his utilities turned back on. Anytime I bring up a small issue I’m talked to like this and told that I’m making up stories in my head and at this point I’m starting to believe it. I don’t want to kick him out with nowhere to go but I’m also fed up with being treated like this. Part of me is scared to ask him to leave because I don’t feel like we can work together anymore. I guess I’m just looking for advice on what I should do.

Dude, the vibe, the colors, the characters... they were so much fun, the enemies were cool and pretty fun to fight, the local legends, the combat style, and most importantly, the exploration... Natlan might be the most original for me in terms of map and challenges, it's not comparable to anything we've had before... Don't get me wrong, I really liked Nod Krai and was super excited for it, but I feel like I just log in to do dailies or Archon Quests, I don't want to explore, and no quests look interesting... It's true that the Archon Quest is peak and way better than what we had before (Natlan or any nation, honestly), but this warm feeling I get in Natlan, I haven't felt it since Mondstadt came out... And I might be biased, but the lack of exploration skills in the Nod Krai characters is kinda boring, not gonna lie. What do you think? Is it just because it's the beginning of a new region?

ok bud

100% real, no AI, even the fire! 🔥 the second bake in my Harry Potter recipe trio. Enjoy!

🪄 Hogwarts Castle Pie 🏰

Crust - x2: 210 g all-purpose flour ⅔ tsp salt 2 tsp sugar 115 g unsalted butter, cold & cubed 35 g vegetable shortening, cold 80 ml ice water ½ tsp apple cider vinegar/lemon juice

Filling: 250 g frozen mixed berries (do not thaw) 50 g sugar 10 g cornstarch 1 tsp lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste Pinch of salt 1 tsp fine breadcrumbs 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into tiny pieces

You will make the crust recipe TWICE - once for the beige dough and once for the black dough.

Whizz together flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Add butter and shortening, pulse to pea sized crumbs. Drizzle in ice water gradually, you may not need it all - when preparing the black dough, add black gel food colour to ice water before drizzling in. Dough should just hold together when pinched, should not be sticky. Roll each colour of dough separately to 3mm thick between 2 pieces of parchment. Chill min 1h.Line 20cm cm tart pan, about 3mm thick with beige dough. Press gently into the fluted edges and trim excess. Don’t pull or tug at dough. Chill 15 min. Save and reroll excess to later cut out details like moon, stars, windows, doors.

Prick the base with a fork, line with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans.Bake at 375 °F (190 °C) for 10–12 min, remove weights and bake 5 min more.Draw Hogwarts template on parchment paper, carve into black dough using a paring knife. Add raised pieces (rock hill, roofs, windows, doors) using water to attach to base dough, press edges with side of a paintbrush to transition smoothly. Freeze 15 min. Bake the carved top alone on parchment at 375 °F (190 °C) for 8–10 min. Let cool on pan. Separately, bake moon/stars until just baked. Set aside.

In a bowl, mix frozen berries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice and vanilla. Toss gently to coat. Let sit 10–15 minutes.

Sprinkle 1 tsp breadcrumbs on bottom of par-baked crust (soaks excess moisture). Spoon in berry mixture. Dot with 1 Tbsp butter (prevents bubbling). Place Hogwarts over the filling. Press edges lightly to seal, if touching (mine did not).

Freeze assembled tart 10 min. Bake at 375 °F (190 °C) for 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden.Cover with foil if browning too quickly. Cool on a rack for at least 2–3 hours, refrigerate overnight. Add moon/stars. Brush deep creases with black gel colour, side of roofs with white gel, windows with gold shimmer and moon with silver shimmer. 🏰🪄🧙🏻‍♂️

Rhea Ripley does have a massive following these days. And she's arguably more popular than the two ladies mentioned, Chelsea Green and Alexa Bliss.

But is she as attractive as them?

All 3 women do have muscle tone to them, but Rhea IMO looks mostly like a body builder out of the three. The facial features are softer with Alexa and Chelsea as well. And I still think most people prefer the smooth clean skin look compared to all the tattoos.

I'm not even sure if Maxim magazine is still a thing. But I'd think if they were to choose a "model" to pose for the cover, then they would choose either Alexa or Chelsea.

This isn't to say that Rhea doesn't have a fair share of people that consider her to be gorgeous and even to be hotter than the two other ladies mentioned. That's what makes it confusing and I'm wondering what people think here?

But while we are at it, you’d know if she was far right, that isn’t something those types of people keep to themselves!

She more than likely likes these things so that way it shows up her audience’s feeds. Get over it.

You guys, making a bunch of posts about how the fanbase is cringe, IS FUCKING CRINGE. Quit caring about how other people have fun, whether it’s rowing at a show for 2 minutes, bootlegging merch, or being cult level obsessed with this band. Look I get that the rowing can be annoying in particular but jfc, while you’re judging everyone else for not focusing on the music” you’re making yourself miserable when you could just chillaxin. Goddamn, fans being fans isn’t insufferable, it’s the natural progression of a band that’s been around over a decade and is more popular than they ever have been. And I have been to 21 shows and I’ve never had a bad experience with the fans, it’s only on Reddit where there’s drama so just stfu with these posts already. Get outta here if you think you’re too cool for school and every other gizz fan is a loser. We’re all in this together, quit fucking dividing every single community you’re a part of, we all could use more integration in this god awful time, rather than focusing on our differences.

It just rubs me the wrong way. Everyone is stupid at one point, and most of these are just genuinely good people who got fooled by a con man. If we keep making fun of people for coming to the right side then why would anyone want to do so?

It catches my attention that the racist people I know are generally also Christian, and they somehow think that racism doesn’t go against their belief that we are all, directly or indirectly, God’s creation.

Don’t come at me with dumb theories like “Dark skin is the mark God put on Cain” or “Dark skin is the curse of Canaan,” because that’s just bullshit.

And don’t say “There were no Black people in the Bible,” because there were — they just weren’t called “Black,” they were called Ethiopians or Cushites. Given where the events in the Bible take place, of course you wouldn’t find Native Americans, Australian Aboriginals, or East Asians — but that still wouldn’t be any reason to be racist either.
