Him being a Mormon makes him make a lot more sense. He very much has a classic Mormon vibe.

People who give up historic firearms for destruction instead of finding a buyer that will allow the public to experience them in a safe manner suck.

You can make a new MP44 with a lot of effort, you can’t make a new MP44 with a history that highlights the efforts and accomplishments of a man who grew up dirt poor and went to Europe to bring some freedom to a family that still has photos of him after he fought for 36 hours to keep a failed painter with a dumb mustache from feeling any sense of contentment and all he got was spicy nostalgia and a gun his wife would later go on to use to spit on his memory all for the low price of a $150 gift card to HEB.

That won’t do much. You have to put a hornet nest prop(or inactive specimen) or a realistic stuffed raccoon right near the entrance to the attic that is in a defensive pose.

I almost fell off a ladder when I pushed up the hatch and my flashlight swept across a dummy hornet nest meant to dissuade actual hornets from nesting. I had a great laugh when I went to get a photo of the giant “hornet nest” to show the client and came to understand the reality.

We can do this, the problem is interface.

Right now, there is the possibility to have AI create exactly what you imagine, if you can convey what it is you want and have the processing power available to generate the output.

Without a psychic magic wish type interface, we fall short of being able to say “Do the thing” and get what we want. It takes a novel worth of outline to create a worthwhile output that meets expectations.

That being said, I would probably create a false reality to escape into in order to cope with the realities of a meaningless and pointless existence that is wrought from the apathy inherent to prolonged misery from existential dread and the general state of things.

There is nothing wrong about an IQ difference.

Where there are problems is when the higher is annoyed by the other needing explanation or the lower having a complex about needing the explanation.

If you love it when you don’t get it and they can explain it in terms you understand and they love it when they can fulfill your curiosity, perfect.

If you hate how they make you feel stupid or they are annoyed that you just don’t get it no matter how they try to explain it, that is a problem and either party can be at fault in both cases. There is the old saying that if you can’t explain it properly, you don’t understand it fully, I feel that applies.

Talk with them, be honest and raw in your thoughts. Express your concerns about how you, as you are, may be less than they deserve. If they love you, they will try so damn hard to express themself so that you understand.

You shouldn’t be asking the internet, ask them. Your insecurity or anxiety is not for us to cure, your partner is the only one that can beat that into your thick little skull. I joke, but really, there is no comfort or validation strangers on the internet can provide that beats your partner saying how much they love and appreciate you for you regardless of your flaws or shortcomings.

Did you assume the sand as having no velocity relative to the object going C?

They are wanting to raise new game prices to $90-100 because prices haven’t kept up with inflation and dev costs, which will push more people to game streaming or subscription services.

Avowed could have been $30 and still sold the same because a $30 game is priced like a mediocre or shit game when you are talking open world ARPGs not made in Asia or offered as early access. I don’t even think the nothingburger controversy did anything to the sales of meaning, it just doesn’t seem like an interesting game from the announcement trailer to the launch trailer. The coolest thing in the trailers was the magic and that is a pretty disappointing aspect of the game.

Gamepass numbers are unknown, but steam had a peak of like 19k players. Estimates on ownership is around 200k units.

Monster Hunter Wilds had 1.3m peak, unknown sales estimate because it is too new. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, 256k peak, over 2m sales estimate.

Understand that is all PC Steam stats.

Avowed may only be a financial success thanks to gamepass because nobody is buying it.

Local grocery stores. There are mom and pop type ones in some places, but most are going to be chains these days. In a nearby town was a single location family owned grocery store that was very popular despite being just down the road from a major regional chain, it failed because the real estate market and shopping trends in COVID made it impossible for them to stay open; it is now a very busy Whole Foods. So small family owned grocery stores are dying.

The thing is that shopping entirely local is very hard to do and even harder to do if money is a concern. You have to make compromises like driving twice as far or spending twice as much.

Those boutique stores are often failing because they can’t compete unless the town is a tourist spot or there is a wealthy enough population for bored housewives to have their operating costs subsidized.

If you really want to go local, meaning locally produced products, then you will have to do your shopping online or contact the company to see if their products are in any stores.

Making it is easy. Making it good, conveying enough of the lore, and it making money would be hard.

I would prefer it to be with a silent protagonist waking up to a new reality in which they just keep stumbling into brutal fights until they reach the end.

I know they will put too much Hollywood into it and the protagonist will remember their previous reality and they are fighting to get back to their love interest or some crap like that.

I have reasonable expectations based on the hubris of people ignorant of both AI and what they use it on.

Anybody that cocky and stupid would never present a simple test of concept as evidence.

They 100% asked AI to make an E commerce or company page.

Mine is definitely a junk drawer of random nonsense that is tens of gigs in size.

I wanted to recover files from an old hard drive for a Linux install I had for about a decade, it was not fun to look through for the handful of files I wanted.

That’s a given, but now he has an entire website in his download dir. So all the scripts, images, child pages, directories, etc. are all over the folder’s contents.

If he tried to publish, he would have to find every single dependancy and upload them, which would then require somebody competent to figure out what he missed.

What I am saying is web devs are safe from AI taking their job, for now.

The cherry on top is that he just made the website in his downloads folder and not a new folder for the project.

It is a whistle(like a referee uses to make a sound) a woman uses if she feels or knows she is going to be harmed in some way so as to call attention to her and hopefully get help with her situation.

Basically, the meme is telling women to shoot their attackers.

Who does?

No seriously, I want to slide into their dead drop and swap messenger pigeons.

Depends on how much she likes a plus sized man with a fedora collection.

Maybe, if she wants an older man that has RFID sheets.

Hindu is complex and has some variability depending on the flavor. Some are left up to the individual to determine based on their perceptions.

The supreme being is genderless, the other aspects are more masculine or more feminine and some are androgenous or both. Feminine energy is the most powerful at creation and masculine is the most powerful at destruction. The gods are just a reflection of an aspect of the supreme genderless Brahman, where their characteristics favor a given gender and that is expressed in their visage. They also use names that convey a symbolism.

So no gender is the most powerful in Hindu, but different forms of gender expression have more power in an aspect of power.
