If the internet has made anything clear, common sense isn't.

A slight addendum to that though is don't write diversity into your shows by leaning heavily on stereotypes.

The show 'The Rookie' put it a great way. The character Nolan used to buy them because they were 'hope'. He never thought he was going to win, but it was enough to dream that it would see him through dark times. He gave his last ticket to a bride (left at the alter) that was going to kill herself.

I mean, anyone that uses the select tool in photoshop is using an 'ai tool' by the strictest definition. So he's not wrong that every bit of software uses it. But if that's his concern, explaining how it may have been used would be better than describing the software used.

There's a reason the Anne of Green Gables story has been so lasting to the point that its actually a tourist attraction in PEI to this day :)

No, it is probably true actually. Since technically speaking, bruising is internal bleeding. Seriously, I guarentee that's what they're referring to.

Yeah, I'm against ai, but personally, I'm hoping it makes sure you never work again :)

Ok, not wanting to throw accusations, but is this AI? Because it has the 'floating boob' error that AI makes a lot of the time. The left boob should not be that visible. It's either twice the size of right one, or its floating out from the body and not actually connected to anything.

This is almost entirely the purpose of stargate's 'filler' episodes. Every time there was a silly episode, it was to introduce tech that would be much more important later so none were ever really filler.

But thanks for proving my point that you and the others like you have blown WAY past reasonable discourse.

Yeah, real clever. I'm more referring to the fact that they'll stop being so open about their practices, likely blacklist the folks that are coming after them, and generally stop being the friendly company they've been.

There's airing reasoned disagreements, but the extent and just poor natured responses from people skipped that and moved right over to public lynching.

See, I'm right there with you on the stance. But do you know what happens when you push a company that uses it minimally and wasn't hugely sold on it to begin with but you villainize them anyway? Tends to go the other way than what you're wanting.

In fairness, for every 'how to' or 'dos and don'ts' there's always going to be exceptions on how someone did the don't or didn't do the do, and succeeded because of it.

I'm confused here. Are we angry because a person broke federal law and got banned for it? Am I missing some details here? I get she was upset her husband was picked up and that is bs. But threatening to kill a president or encouraging death of one, even if their POS, is still a federal crime.

I still can't recommend Stephen King's "On Writing" enough. It is part memoir, part tips and tricks for natural writing.

While its head cannon on my part, I think the red guards trying to get her are working for the thalmor. They're trying to get her to do to her what they did to ulfric. Using the red guard covers their tracks. They work her over, brainwash her and send her back to be a puppet ruler in hammerfel.

See, that's where the argument falls apart entirely. In Thalmor controlled territory (whiterun, via the treaty) only one side is operating openly. That's the red guards hunting her. If she was a thalmor conspirator, why is she hiding under an assumed name in a contested province?

Seems pretty hilarious too, since they were barely able to make it in the first place due to censorship issues at the time that don't exist anymore. It's a bad case of nostalgia glasses while not understanding the present day situations.

Nice day for fishing is a fishing rpg where you have to engage in rpg-like fights to actually catch the fish. It's based on 'skycraft' from viva la dirt league.

Worth noting: Joker DID start a 'joker unlimited'. He had a bunch of comedy themed villians target batman's (and ghost maker, who was leading batman inc at the time) previous trainers. The masters of the different arts (lock picking, escape, etc).

I've been friends with carpenters, plumbers and electricians and yeah, entering a new building with them was almost always a guaranteed 15 minutes of them pointing out problems that no one else could actually see.

In fairness, almost all trades do this. Everyone picks apart everyone else's works. It's just actors of all stripes are more obvious because their work is more obvious (being entertainment that everyone consumes).

The pigeon romance game kinda did all that heavy lifting a few years ago. That was the first big one of 'they look like this but are actually this' games. It was such a meme that it basically educated everyone on the concept and well, here we are.
