“C’mon, let’s go find a place that’s spirit realm inclusive!”

There are some that do allow it. Ideogram’s image upload used to be on the free plan but now it is 16/month. But for free, you can use Ideogram for celebrities. There are also some NSFW ones too with free plans. I did your simulation on Leonardo AI, but it only returned images of Che. To get the same effect as his pictures, describe what he was wearing, and the background in most of the images with Luigi as the subject. Leonardo gives 150 free credits which can be ~15 to 30 prompts per day depending on which models you use.

Here’s Aubrey Plaza as a Smurf (it is the closest one, lol, AI is still a toddler of a technology):

If you get a pic of him, you can use an image to image AI gen for it.

I remember that one time Michael Stevens of Vsauce talks about different shaped wheels, lol.

“After all, we aren’t going to reinvent the wheel, or are we?” Lol

Seems like a sociopathic trait. To try and get simulated attention for themselves. Nevertheless, it might work better for them the other way around. Using a smaller community on Lemmy as a ‘test’ environment and then plagiarizing a comment to get Reddit Karma. Or a post for that matter. I am pretty sure that there are people that might do this. There probably is a lot of mods on Lemmy that might tip off mods on Reddit for this very reason.

I will admit, if I need help for an answer to a question someone is asking, I DO Google and in those results there, which are often reddit, find someone who has already asked and answered said question, so I will just paraphrase them lol.

Not jokes but useful things and TOMT searches. Why reinvent the wheel?

Key and Peele was a great show!

It was funny. I only watched the first season, I don’t have Max anymore.

There are companies for specific ethical hacking and to expose cybersecurity flaws. They would just need to apply to them.

Yea I wondered that after I posted my comment but I wondered if it was a joke issue or something. A lot of the issues I had growing up had a front cover and a back one that would work if you flipped it the right way that was an alternative or a joke cover.

Man, I haven’t had a MAD subscription in ages. I didn’t realize they were still in print. Lol

Best advice I have received: make a small change in any direction that would have a positive outcome if you succeeded. Set a goal, any goal, professionally, personally, socially etc. make it specific, measurable, and write down your experience. Break it into steps and if a step is too hard break that step into smaller ones.

There can be many mental health disorders that are functional illnesses. Many with chronic illness can actually live a regular life and no one would know what they have going on. It doesn’t mean it is not serious or debilitating. Mild depression is a thing, so is mild bipolar, mild schizophrenia or high functioning.

That being said the phenomenon you are describing is common nowadays without it being a mental illness. I haven’t met someone who hasn’t at least once in their life questioned their choices or felt lost about what to do next or how to do it.

There are many jobs you can do with a bachelor’s in any major. Most are office based. Some can be more hands on.

That being said not all comparisons are a thief of joy. There is a concept in DBT called the ACCEPTS acronym. One of the Cs is Comparison. But a positive one. For you. Compare yourself to someone in a lesser or more distressing situation. Or to a time when you, yourself were in a worse rut, if possible. This is also a form of cognitive reframing.

38 is still young. Plus 30s and 40s are where a midlife crisis can occur. Don’t go to clubs for friends unless you already know someone there. Try more neutral settings like a small class, group, volunteering, or a place where you would be alongside people with a common goal or interest. A lot more potential to find not so good connections in a bar or a club.

I agree it is hard to connect especially being an introvert myself. But you don’t need friends you just need one friend. There isn’t one set way to do it. Smaller settings with less people work and more opportunities to connect. Less social competition. Sometimes it is just a conversation with a neighbor that sparks something you might have in common. Then you or them invites the other to do something or show another something etc. It happens organically, gradually and unexpectedly.

Oh yeah, they were the GOAT. For animation. I enjoy the show Doom Patrol which has Cyborg in it. It wasn’t TT but for something modern, it piqued my interest and held my attention.

All that land, I’m jealous!!

That’s why you find one that isn’t in prime time like an AMC with recliner seats. Usually at the matinee, there is like one of two other people and you and your party get almost the whole theatre. And I sneak in McChickens in my hoodie. Usually have someone with a purse with you. Most theatres around me don’t check. Put the drinks and snacks in there from the dollar store. But yes the floors still get sticky, lol. The security only really cares if you’ve got your phone out or are pointing it like you are filming.

Oh he only made it three years there, i didn’t know that .

Quagmire: so, are you guys gonna probe me?

Alien: what!? No, we stopped doing that ages ago.

Quagmire: do you still have the thing for it?

I bet five year olds can make better poetry

Thank you for the lesson!. I did not know that.

Lol, it was just a saying. Of course the ones that teach need to know it first. I really don’t know where the saying really comes from. Just a funny common saying that came into my head when I read this post.

So, you’ve got a name, a date of birth, an address and a whole lot of personal information and secrets, everybody’s got secrets. Let’s say there was a device that had a glass window that lit up and there were words and pictures on it. Now, let’s say that you wanted to share the latest [insert cultural reference from a century ago, lol] news with your buddies and your opinions. Let’s say you wanted to gamble, let’s say you wanted to communicate with them through this device. The medium you would be using is called email. Wayyy faster than a post master’s parcel or letter delivery. The channel or means to be able to communicate is called the Internet or the web. This name is given because it is a series of connections that allows you and your device to be linked to all the others.

Now, let’s say that Company A wants to sell some service through this device. You want it but you only have dollars and coins. Paper and metal money. It is easy to transfer information from one device to another but how will you get your money there. You can give it to the mailman but it would take too long and you still have to wait. So, you have this harder than paper card. With numbers on it, connected to a bank. You keep your money in their account but instead of taking it out physically, the number “registers” it as the money leaving the account and going to Company A so they can send you their product.

Well, your neighbor is jealous that you have so much money and packages coming to your door by way of automobile delivery or horse and carriage. They are sour because your grass is always fed the finest of plant food supplements. They are envious because your grass is literally greener but they cannot afford to pay for a device like yours let alone expensive plant food from Company A.

They decide to “steal” your device but it is locked inside your house. They go down to the pub and talk a bunch of shit to the barkeep. He says for a price he has a guy who can get the numbers for your account right off your device without the need to break into your house for a small price.

So, he pays him and you lose all your money. Your grass is dying and somehow your jobless, drunk slob of a neighbor starts having the greenest glowing grass. You get suspicious.

So you go down to the pub and drown your sorrows in booze with the last of your money. And the barkeep overhears you complaining. He says for a price, he can put some numbers and letters into your device and make it so no one, not even him can get in. This is his pitch. He says he will only charge a small fee per month for this. So you pay him with your last bit of coins.

Now, your neighbor can’t access your information without breaking into your home. Of course, you curse the makers of this device to begin with for not making their devices more secure in the first place. You wonder if they are all in kahoots with each other trying to make money off of every last thing. But nevertheless, you are happier, safer and more secure and soon you get paid and your jobless neighbor is soon broke and balance is restored. For now, until the barkeep decides to offer a better service to your neighbor.

That is what cybersecurity is and the simplest way to explain to someone from the 1920s, I guess. And the need for it to always have to improve.
