No big self help lemmy so I had to ask it somewhere else. Alright, I'm an university student but:

• I don't like too much noise (no parties or bars).
• I only go to university twice per week and it's far from home.
• I don't like dating apps.
• Social media imo stresses me out instead of helping me.
• Can't steal friends of friends: New city, I know no one here.
• I suck abismally at sports. Also I don't have a sporty profile.
• Board/cardgame shops usually catter to people aged 30 and over as they can actually buy the games.

I'm just, like, out of ideas where to meet people aged 16-26. My best shot so far was in public transport but I'm usually too tired to bother. Been thinking of joining a DnD table or something just to meet people already rofl.

She has like a 36.7% WR going for her I think rn? My impression is that she is trying to do warwick but is too squishy to do warwick, which makes her very easily duelable in the jungle with a lethality build and a healstopper (I play Poppy)

Hi, did this thread mostly for myself and friends. Counted champs in lanes with 2k+ games in op.gg (or above 0% popularity in LeagueOfGraphs when op.gg's server was down).

If you don't know, this is the Globetrotter challenge. It consists of winning games with a premade party of five where only champions from a single region are used. It's a fun team exercise :)

It is organized like this:

LANE: Primary-role champions (recommended)

| secondary-role champions

|| people play this, I guess??? (viable but weak)

Here it goes:

IXTAL

Malphite, Milio, Neeko, Nidalee, Qiyana, Rengar, Zyra

TOP: Malphite | Rengar || Neeko, Nidalee, Qiyana

JUNGLE: Nidalee, Rengar | Zyra || Malphite, Neeko, Qiyana

MID: Neeko, Qiyana | Malphite

SUP: Milio, Zyra | Neeko

ADC:

• Your main issue in Ixtal is that there is no ADC. Qiyana should be the best one as she snowballs, but she is also very hard to play. Statistics says Neeko is the most played of the seven in ADC role, but it's a low number of games and may also just be indicative that Neeko is a champion with high pick rate, period. Overall I would go into alt pick because it's so FUBAR the champion wouldn't really matter. Bot lane, play safe and don't feed.

BANDLETREE

Corki, Fizz, Gnar, Heimerdinger, Kennen, Kled, Lulu, Poppy, Rumble, Teemo, Tristana, Veigar, Vex, Yuumi, Ziggs

TOP: Gnar, Kennen, Kled, Poppy, Rumble, Teemo | Heimerdinger || Tristana, Veigar

JUNGLE: | Poppy, Rumble || Teemo

MID: Corki, Fizz, Veigar, Vex | Kennen, Rumble, Tristana, Heimerdinger, Ziggs || Gnar, Kled, Poppy, Teemo

SUP: Heimerdinger, Lulu, Yuumi || Poppy, Teemo, Veigar, Ziggs

ADC: Tristana, Ziggs | Veigar || Heimerdinger

• Pretty viable.

BILGEWATER

Fizz, Gangplank, Graves, Illaoi, Miss Fortune, Nautilus, Nilah, Pyke, Tahm Kench, Twisted Fate

TOP: Gangplank, Illaoi, Tahm Kench || Fizz, Graves, Nautilus

JUNGLE: Graves

MID: Fizz, Twisted Fate | Gangplank || Graves, Illaoi, Pyke

ADC: Miss Fortune, Nilah

SUP: Nautilus, Pyke || Miss Fortune, Tahm Kench

• Not only viable but strong-ish. Color me impressed? A warning: Graves has a very high ban rate. Go blind pick if you must.

DEMACIA

Fiora, Galio, Garen, Jarvan IV, Kayle, Lucian, Lux, Morgana, Poppy, Quinn, Shyvana, Sona, Sylas, Vayne, Xin Zhao

TOP: Fiora, Kayle, Quinn | Poppy, Shyvana, Sylas, Vayne || Galio, Jarvan IV, Xin Zhao

JUNGLE: Jarvan IV, Poppy, Shyvana, Xin Zhao | Sylas || Morgana*

MID: Galio, Lux, Sylas | Kayle || Fiora, Jarvan IV, Lucian, Morgana, Quinn, Shyvana, Vayne, Xin Zhao

ADC: Lucian, Vayne

SUP: Morgana, Sona | Galio, Lux, Poppy || Jarvan IV, Sylas

* Below 2k games on op.gg but I have a friend that seriously play this and he says it's viable lol.

• Who would say that Demacia champions were so versatile? Also, Lucian and Vayne have both quite low ban rates.

PILTOVER

Caitlyn, Camille, Corki, Ezreal, Heimerdinger, Jayce, Orianna, Seraphine, Vi

TOP: Camille, Jayce | Heimerdinger || Ezreal

JUNGLE: Vi

MID: Corki, Heimerdinger, Orianna | Jayce, Seraphine || Caitlyn, Ezreal, Vi

ADC: Caitlyn, Ezreal | Seraphine

SUP: Heimerdinger, Seraphine

• Vi and Heimerdinger have <1% banrates. You can go alt pick pretty safely.

SHADOW ISLES

Elise, Evelynn, Fiddlesticks, Gwen, Hecarim, Kallista, Karthus, Maokai, Senna, Thresh, Viego, Yorick

TOP: Gwen, Maokai, Yorick || Fiddlesticks, Karthus, Senna, Viego

JUNGLE: Elise, Evelynn, Fiddlesticks, Hecarim, Karthus, Maokai, Viego || Gwen

MID: | Karthus || Fiddlesticks, Gwen, Viego

ADC: Kallista | Karthus || Senna*

SUP: Senna, Thresh | Fiddlesticks, Karthus, Maokai

* 40% winrate. Only if you're desperate.

• For some reason Vex and Kindred aren't here, because then your ADC could play Karthus or Kindred instead of Kallista. Other than that, that's a pretty fun region for everyone but your ADC!

SHURIMA

Akshan, Amumu, Azir, K'Sante, Naafiri, Nasus, Rammus, Renekton, Sivir, Skarner, Taliyah, Xerath, Zilean

TOP: K'Sante, Nasus, Renekton | Akshan, Naafiri || Azir, Rammus, Skarner

JUNGLE: Rammus, Skarner, Taliyah | Naafiri

MID: Akshan, Azir, Naafiri | Taliyah, Xerath || K'Sante, Nasus, Renekton, Sivir, Zilean

ADC: Sivir || Taliyah, Xerath

SUP: Xerath, Zilean || Taliyah

• Some really simple and some really complex champions, which makes it a bit odd. Naafiri is very flexible but also has the highest banrate of the patch.

TARGON

Aphelios, Aurelion Sol, Diana, Leona, Pantheon, Soraka, Taric, Zoe

TOP: Pantheon || Aurelion Sol

JUNGLE: Diana || Pantheon, Taric

MID: Aurelion Sol, Zoe | Diana, Pantheon

ADC: Aphelios || Aurelion Sol

SUP: Leona, Pantheon, Soraka, Taric || Zoe

• Limited pool of inflexible champions will make many cry blind pick. However, if you notice, this cast has a low ban rate (highest being Leona at 4.7%).

FRELJORD

Anivia, Ashe, Braum, Gnar, Gragas, Lissandra, Nunu&Willump, Olaf, Ornn, Sejuani, Trundle, Tryndamere, Udyr, Volibear

TOP: Gnar, Olaf, Ornn, Trundle, Tryndamere, Volibear | Gragas || Anivia, Lissandra, Sejuani, Udyr

JUNGLE: Gragas, Nunu, Sejuani, Udyr | Trundle, Volibear || Olaf, Tryndamere*

MID: Anivia, Lissandra | Gragas || Gnar, Nunu, Ornn, Tryndamere, Volibear

ADC: Ashe

SUP: Braum | Gragas || Anivia, Ashe, Lissandra, Nunu, Ornn, Sejuani, Trundle

* <40% winrate, don't unless you are really good at him

• Did you like making do with an adc in Ixtal? I hope your adc also did, since Ashe has a 11.42% banrate. Seriously, go blind pick. Help Ashe unify the tribes after all those years.

IONIA

Ahri, Akali, Irelia, Ivern, Jhin, Karma, Kayn, Kennen, Lee Sin, Lilia, Master Yi, Rakan, Sett, Shen, Syndra, Varus, Wukong, Xayah, Yasuo, Yone, Zed

TOP: Irelia, Kennen, Sett, Shen | Akali, Wukong, Yone, Zed || Ahri, Karma, Kayn, Lee Sin*, Lillia, Master Yi, Syndra, Varus, Yasuo

JUNGLE: Ivern, Kayn, Lillia, Master Yi, Wukong | Zed || Lee Sin

MID: Ahri, Akali, Syndra, Yasuo, Yone, Zed | Irelia || Karma, Kennen, Lee Sin*, Sett, Varus, Wukong

ADC: Jhin, Varus, Xayah || Syndra, Yasuo, Yone

SUP: Karma, Rakan || Kennen, Lee Sin*, Sett, Shen, Yasuo*

* Lee Sin is kinda shit at anything that isn't Jungle. Top makes do, but Mid and Sup do not. * <40% Winrate. You got plenty of better choices, Yasuo mains.

• I think the champions are a bit hard to learn, but at least you got plenty of choices.

NOXUS

Cassiopeia, Darius, Draven, Katarina, Kled, LeBlanc, Rell, Riven, Samira, Sion, Swain, Talon, Vladimir

TOP: Darius, Kled, Riven, Sion | Vladimir || Cassiopeia, Katarina, LeBlanc, Swain, Talon

JUNGLE: | Talon || Rell, Riven*, Sion

MID: Cassiopeia, Katarina, LeBlanc, Talon, Vladimir || Darius, Kled, Riven, Samira, Sion, Swain

ADC: Draven, Samira || Cassiopeia, Sion, Swain

SUP: Swain || LeBlanc, Rell, Sion

* <40% winrate. Those days are long gone.

• Congratulations, Sion, you're the only one together with Karthus to fit all lanes! Seriously now, Samira is a super strong snowball. Noxus trolls Jungle and Support a bit, but Talon did worse.

VOID

Bel'Veth, Cho'Gath, Kai'Sa, Kassadin, Kha'Zix, Kog'Maw, Malzahar, Rek'Sai, Vel'Koz

TOP: Cho'Gath || Bel'Veth, Kassadin, Malzahar, Rek'Sai

JUNGLE: Bel'Veth, Kha'Zix, Rek'Sai

MID: Kassadin, Malzahar | Cho'Gath, Vel'Koz || Kai'Sa, Kog'Maw

ADC: Kai'Sa, Kog'Maw || Malzahar, Vel'Koz

SUP: Vel'Koz || Bel'Veth, Cho'Gath, Malzahar

• Pretty smooth. Nothing to add.

ZAUM

Blitzcrank, Dr. Mundo, Ekko, Janna, Jinx, Renata Glasc, Singed, Twitch, Urgot, Viktor, Warwick, Zac, Zeri, Ziggs

TOP: Dr. Mundo, Singed, Urgot | Warwick, Zac || Ekko, Viktor

JUNGLE: Ekko, Warwick, Zac || Dr. Mundo, Singed, Twitch*

MID: Viktor, Ziggs | Ekko || Singed, Twitch, Urgot, Zac, Zeri

ADC: Jinx, Twitch, Zeri | Ziggs || Viktor

SUP: Blitzcrank, Janna, Renata Glasc || Singed, Twitch, Zac, Ziggs

* 41% winrate. You have better picks.

• Zaum I love, because there are tutorial-level champions to play in every role. I recommend you start here (or in whatever region you have more mains for in your premade).

Hi there, I'm a trans man and just separated all winter clothes that are too undeniably feminine for me. They're the large pile on this picture, which should have ten or so sweaters. However I'm fairly petite, I have 161cm and slim shoulders. I wear S size (with some XS or M sprinkled in). I'm not sure transfem shelters would need such small clothing and I've been thinking in giving them to other shelters instead (but not thrift stores). Thoughts?

Hi there. I live with an old woman who sometimes pockets some money to work as an informal dogsitter of sorts.

So she got a pretty good amount (half a month's minimum wage where I live) to take care of a removed for a week. She doesn't accept pissfingers, though this is one of the top 2 questionable dogs she ever accepted. An adult female shih tzu with a teeth pointing out (like this picture) which means it probably came from a puppy mill.

This dog took an instant liking to my pensioner, but not to me. Also we're both females of similar stature and the dog's owner is also a female. So it's not man shy.

Whenever I approach this dog, she retreats and hides herself under a table or wardrobe. If I approach her within a range of 3 meters, she gets further away. When my pensioner is home, the dog follows her around like a shadow (expected behavior for a companion dog I think) but also puts herself between me and my pensioner barks at me when I get near. The dog never barks at me when I'm alone with it.

Whenever I open my bedroom's door, she also begins barking. She doesn't stop barking when she sees it is me. The only time she won't do that is when we're both in the kitchen, which is also our dining room, probably because she hopes I'll throw some scraps from my table (which I never did, but my pensioner does even though I told her not to do it).

She also barks back whenever a dog barks in the street. We live on the third floor of an apartment.

The dog is not bite/scratch oriented. The only time I can go near the removed is if both her and my pensioner are cuddled together in the sofa or bed. She either won't bark or ceases barking when I sit down in the sofa, but still keeps looking at me like I'm a convicted criminal. She allows herself to be pet, but is visibly uncomfortable when I try to do so, even when I don't pass my hand over her head.

Probably the worst thing though is that she has a piss mat. She usually knows how to use the piss mat, but when no one is looking she will pee in front of my bedroom's door (which is always closed). Our floor is carpeted.

Things I have tried so far that didn't work: Talk to the dog in a "toddler" tone, squat to talk to the dog, lay on the floor to talk to the dog, share space sitting next the dog, pet the dog and then give her some kibble (she wouldn't eat from my hand), put the kibble in front of her and retreat my hand (she would burrow it within the blanket instead of eating), live normally not paying attention to the dog whatsoever.

Dog also really dislikes going out for a walk and hides before being collared.

I'm thinking in buying some treats on a pet store and try the kibble strategy again but with something tastier.

Those pictures were using img2img, and a sketch of mines as a base:

AI not understanding what a portrait is

---

In tweaking the prompt, I noticed that my model didn't understand what a "portrait" was at all. It fared better with "face shot". From now on I also removed "armor" and "helmet" from the prompt. I also replaced "knight" with "paladin", as "knight" was biased towards full-armor pictures.

Even with "borzoi" and the picture, the AI wouldn't understand what a borzoi was at all without the "dog" keyword.

Those pictures were using img2img, and the photo of a borzoi as a base:

not bad, but not a borzoi

I tinkered with the prompt a bit more, adding "ear, dog ears" to the negative prompt and "fluffy fur, long fur" to the positive prompt.

fluffy!

Were we begin to see better results, but I dialed the fur part to "fluffy long fur" and also put in "long thin snout"

yeah only reptilians have snouts

I added "dragonborn" to the negative prompt (this is a D&D portrait model, after all) and immediately saw better results:

dogs are back!

Just as an experiment, I now brought the prompt outside img2img and into txt2img to see how solid the prompt was (images are at a lower resolution because I used fewer steps):

solid results!

The results are surprisingly better outside img2img.

Added "watermark" to the negative prompt, brought it to 50 steps in DPM++ 2MK.

photorealistic much?

I began to have some deformed snout problems, so I brought it back to Euler a. Also put the height at 768 back again so the AI would be biased towards giving me closer portraits.

nope, it gave me even bodier shots

Just as a treat, I switched "paladin" back to "knight". Maybe it would give me different results outside img2img?

I got a lot of metal snout sillyness, but this is the funniest one.

Back to "paladin", I also removed some keyword smashing from the prompt (shit like "high detail" and stuff I originally copied from somewhere else).

Results got much more consistent. Don't litter your prompts!

Also told it to give me a pencil portrait, just for fun.

Not bad, but you can see the AI was struggling against the model.

And this is why I went to emaonly-safetensors-1.5. Emaonly understands what a face shot and a portrait are! It doesn't understand the "anthropomorphic with armor" bit, though. I just got pictures of regular dogs.

Not bad, but you can see the AI was struggling against the model.

Back to D&Diffusion, I removed even more litter from the prompt. Now it only has strictly what I said I had written in within this post.

blurry

For a DPM 2++ Karras entry with 50 steps, this level of blurriness is utterly unnaceptable. Some of the keywords were added back in. Euler a gave me this:

bad quality, but right vibe

You know what? I like this. I brought it to img2img. I reduced the CFG scale from 7 to 4,5, Resize and Fill mode.

not a borzoi

The snout got shortened. The paws are awkward, but I don't think they ever won't be. I'm getting tired and lunch is getting cold, so I will just add "very" to the "long thin snout" part of the prompt and call it a day.

somewhat more borzoi-like

Before going to lunch, I noticed that I actually liked one of the images from earlier more. Remember him?

So I threw it with the new prompt in img2img while I went for lunch. It gave me back a lot of borzoi-face-shaped armor. I knew that it meant something was wrong with my prompt. The differences between my nice dogs face shorts and this sillyness was:

face shot of borzoi dog paladin, fluffy fur, medieval, high detail, sharp focus

vs

face shot of borzoi dog paladin, long thin snout, fluffy long fur, medieval era, Intricate, High Detail, Sharp focus, modelshoot style, natural colors, strong shading

So - "long", "Intricate", "High Detail", "modelshoot style", "natural colors" or "strong shading". I have an itch it is "modelshoot style". And, from the subsequent generations, I was right.

I added "portrait" back as well. I didn't like the lens effect of "sharp focus", so I removed that keyword.

The face began to get a little silly. I noticed that the snout marks were alike a labrador's, so I added labrador as a negative prompt. It worked in that the snout suddenly got a lot less wrinkly and longer, but I didn't think the output was aesthetically pleasing. I noticed that the base doesn't even look that much like a borzoi - the AI tries to capture my prompt into a more popular breed like a Poodle. We probably need a Lora to really generate borzois. So, after a hour and 300 generations later, I'll declare that singular generation from the beginning as a winner.

face shot of borzoi dog paladin, long thin snout, fluffy long fur, medieval era, Intricate, High Detail, Sharp focus, modelshoot style, natural colors, strong shading

Negative prompt: ear, dog ears, dragonborn

Hello, I've been looking into email providers. I'm not an activist, just a regular user concerned over privacy.

I used CTemplar in the past until it shut down. Had a cockli email and although it isn't Google the privacy isn't stellar either. I tried to get into Proton, but being unable to use Thunderbird on he free plan was a massive turn-off for me since I like switching easily between different accounts.

After a bit of searching the following came across for me as the best services: [free] Autistici, PARANOID, Disroot. [paid] Posteo, Elude.

Assuming I theoretically got invites for all the free services (they're all reliant on manual approvation), which one would you recommend?

@edit: After reading a bit on the free services, I decided that I will choose them in a Disroot > Autisci > PARANOID order of priority,

Hi there, helping a friend and his 4 GB RAM laptop out. His mother won't allow him to get another OS as I suggested, so we're stuck with Windows 10.
