- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 2 days ago:
The only physical proof you can have of a person that lived before photography is a body. So no, Jesus did not have a publically marked grave and we do not have his bones.
That being said, there is a difference between proving something historically and proving it in the court of law. Historical evidence points to Jesus having been a person that lived around that time.
- Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? 5 days ago:
Fried chicken has historically been used to mock black culture, not celebrate it

Everytime the new model does something related to castles, it always does the same composition. You can tell right away it’s sd3.

Imagine if that’s the moment they try to rob you, how do you explain that to your boss.
- Comment on Who's gonna tell the boss? 2 weeks ago:
I’d say they are meant for dumb dishonest people (and most dishonest people happen to be dumb luckily). Honest people don’t need a lock to keep them out of property that isn’t theirs.
- Comment on The Star Fox-style roguelite whose dev refused to use AI voices to cut costs is adding an entire "anti-capitalist revenge" campaign about a cat-girl destroying AI 2 weeks ago:
released August 2023
By the time AI voices were a thing, he had already paid for all of his voice lines. He didn’t chose anything.
This is manipulation to sell more copies and nothing more.
In any case, AI voices are empowering to the Indie scene. Fully voiced games used to be exclusive to triple A gaming, indie gevs just simply can’t afford it.
I feel for the voice actors just like I feel for the translators that all had to change domaine ten years ago, but progress is progress and it’s dumb to stifle innovation to save a few jobs.

If I’m finding a dungeon in the wild, I’m delving, and I have the education to know better. The post apocalyptic grunts stand no chance.

He should just not answer the question.
If I catch someone in just one lie, my estime of them usually plummets and I question most things they say afterwards. Not to mention lying about something obvious kind of makes you look schizophrenic.

five 9’s or two nines or maybe even one nine. maybe one nine.
This is the first time I hear this expression, what does it mean?

What we call a bear these days isn’t a bear.
Because languages change over time and words take on new different meanings.

- Comment on Netflix’s ‘3 Body Problem’ Draws Fire in China, Praise From U.S. Conservatives | The Hollywood Reporter 2 months ago:
I’m only a few episodes in but if you like reading, I would give the book a go first.
The series isn’t bad and the direction they are going in is okay if a little different.
The main problem is they got rid of the whole mystery aspect of the book. They give the whole plot in the first episode while the book had me scratching my head the whole time.
- Comment on Netflix’s ‘3 Body Problem’ Draws Fire in China, Praise From U.S. Conservatives | The Hollywood Reporter 2 months ago:
It was controversial in China as well, the author had to reorganize the book because of it.
It’s also worth noting that the good guys and the bad guys where all Chinese in the book while the series kept the bad guys Chinese but changed all the scientist to Brits and what not.
More importantly, it hits way harder in the series than in the book. I would need to re read it but I don’t think his wife was eveen there in the original. I found it much more impactful how it was done in the series.
I think it’s silly to get butthurt about your country’s past in such a way, just trying to give context.

Are you sure he’s in the first book? I only read the first one a few months back and I’m not sure who you are talking about (although Chinese names tend to be harder to remember). I did check on the wiki and it doesn’t mention him.

- Comment on where can i generate those images where words are made out of objects? 7 months ago:
I use runpod to rent a graphic card using the stable diffusion fast template.
There’s a jupyter notebook that you run, it gives you an external link at the end. You need to make sure to dowload all controlnet models.
Then you need to download both checkpoint models and the qr monster controlnet model from civitai. For models, I suggest realistic vision. You can download these into the runpod environment with the runpod terminal and typing in wget (download link) -O (model name).
The checkpoints will go in the SD stable diffusion model folder, while at monster will go underneath where qr monster gets installed in its own model folder (I forgot where it gets installed, something like extensions)
On the civitai qr monster, there’s more info including settings. I usually use euler a, 50 steps, and controlnet 1.4 weight, starts at 0.3 and ends at 0.9

Robot species and genders are a social construct. Nothing stop you from having sex with the robo dog, it isn’t illegal yet. They were just the first to realize they could.
- Comment on Does Hexbear mandate all users to specify their preferred pronouns? 8 months ago:
Pronouns are there to make conversation easier and more straight forward. You can avoid using them, it’s just uselessly stupid to do so.
It’s normal to refer to someone else during conversation, even essential. Why should we be avoiding this behavior as to eliminate pronouns in our speech? Whats the reasoning? Pronouns are a completely normal and essential part of our language, I’m having trouble understanding why you want to cleave the pool of potential conversation subjects to avoid them?
- Comment on Does Hexbear mandate all users to specify their preferred pronouns? 8 months ago:
Really think hard about what you are saying. Next time you have a conversation, try mentioning no one else except the person you are talking to and yourself.

There will be outrage, they will go back on their cloud gaming decision but not on the disk drive. Orchestrated to screw over their users while making their fans think they are being listened to.
