Um "when fake wombs become a thing"?! Have they not read BRAVE NEW WORLD, decanting babies from artificial wombs? Or, maybe they have.
I love the incels who talk about how in trouble women are when fake wombs become a thing.
My dudes. You will be solo responsible for feeding and getting three kids out the door alone before 7 am. And then they turn into teenagers.

Tip: Request 3 pictures from 3 different angles and all of them have to have a visible paper with specific text on it. If any of the damage changes even a LITTLE refuse the refund.
Heads up for all my art friends that have an online store.

Noooo! I feel your horror.
just had a heart-stopping moment of terror. been wrestling with a line-edit and because of that, was distracted enough that I neglected to break the manuscript into smaller sections, which is my usual practice once I hit a certain number of changes.

It came up in discussion at the convention so its annual reminder time the “artist” known as Menton3 ( real name Trey, he’s just pretentious ) cost me my US life savings, screwed over a lot of people & now thinks he’s a tattooist in Atlanta with zero training.
If you see him, say a fistful of “hi”.

If you're new to cooking or don't trust yourself to recognize a bad AI recipe, for the love on god, do not just use random recipes from random profiles. Find trustworthy sites and creators (Serious Eats, NYT Cooking, J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, Alton Brown) and search their archives for what you need.
