The crazy part is placebo often works even if you’re aware of it. You can knowingly take a blank pill and it will help you. Like c’mon brain, can’t we just skip the middleman?

Unsolicited advice, but don’t skip meals, even if other things have to be deprioritised. It really fucks you up and can send you into a spiral where everything gets worse. Source: skipped meals when I was newly disabled and it fucked me up.

Elemental and Onward are beautifully emotional movies and two of my favourite of all time

I wonder if you did something dumb like “seeded” the beginning of your prompts with a cryptographically unique random series of characters like appucnoiwq9occks if it would be more creative?

Seems to work at least. Still looks pretty generic to me though

So much room for activities silliness!

I get banned a lot because of accidentally using words that have become problematic when I wasn’t looking. How about we just stop letting extremists claim all the perfectly good words and symbols instead?

Did you feel comfortable searching to learn how to use GIMP?

I found a Stack Overflow thread where people discuss this and actually test it. Further down the page is a 2026 test. The results are it’s basically the same, very little practical difference in normal usage. If you’re auto saving a file every 30 seconds you will not notice any difference between XML and JSON.

Personally, I like XML more for data files like this. I would not reach for JSON as my first thought for deserealizing a complex object hierarchy. Stuff like, a polygon can have a drawing of type vector which can have n paths which each have exactly 2 points… easy to store and validate in XML. Quite messy and complicated in JSON.

<Drawing type="polygon">
  <Line color="#fed1aa">
    <Point x="6" y="7" />
    <Point x="69" y="420" />
  </Line>
</Drawing>

I got irritated by the differences, but I was more irritated by Microslop, so it was the lesser of two irritants. I mostly figured it out eventually. Finding H2 is always at the bottom of the entire style list though for some fucking reason like there’s no excuse for that kind of mild irritation

I disagree; your view sucks

That’s a really extreme take of that term. Normally, processed food means like, sugar cereal and biscuits; not frozen spinach pucks and tofu. Just because it’s a loose fuzzy term instead of a formal scientific definition doesn’t make it useless

That’s interesting, I have never had anxiety about my phone battery. I have moderate annoyance if completely runs out and shuts off. Usually I try to keep it above 3% lol. I use the number like, “ok I have 40% so that’s like 6 hours”; but if people stress out about it, I could see the number being triggering.

Honestly, In My Opinion, 480p is still completely acceptable for anime and cartoons. Most of that definition is used on the exact same colour blocks so HD doesn’t make s humongous difference. Still nice to have of course, but I don’t hesitate to go 480p if internet is choppy

If the judge has a history with, even hugging, the accused; I’d be concerned that they might be more lenient with their sentencing than they would a stranger. Especially if they’re back for the third time

That’s always been my philosophy… I bought it, I’m not buying it again

Isn’t this a huge conflict of interest?
