I was already not happy with the choice of RDJ, but to hear the other pick was Mads Mikkelsen really twists the knife. Mads Mikkelsen would have been absolutely fantastic as Dr. Doom! Damn Disney/Marvel, this is why you are on a downward trend, you don't make good decisions, you make safe decisions.

If sounds are coming out of his talk hole, he's lying. On top of that, he is also deluded, he actively lies, but I think he also believes a lot of his lies because its comforting.
I loved this show. It's very well done on all fronts.
A few months ago there were a bunch of companies changing their terms and conditions for force you to wave your right to sue, instead, agreeing to forced arbitration. Roku wouldn't let you use their product unless you agreed to the terms. Discord tried it too, but allowed users to email them and say "No thanks" and not lose the right to sue.
It's insane to me that this bullshit is even remotely allowed. Now we have an example of the type of terrible thing companies wanted to use forced arbitration for. The woman was absolutely assured that the food she had ordered didn't have any of the allergens she told them she can't have. She ate the food after being completely assured it was safe, then had a horrible allergic reaction, dosed her self with her Epipen, then went to the hospital and died.
Disney is a blight upon humanity for so many reasons, but to tell this women's husband that he agreed to the terms and conditions of Disney+ years ago means he has no right to sue for wrongful death is absolutely disgusting.
Fuck Disney, sincerely.
Being born in the 80s, I was told I was born in the nineteen hundreds. It didn't feel great.
We didn't catch the fact that the rubble covered stove in the cafeteria early on works. So we never found a way to cook food, eventually we found another oven, but it was broken and we had no idea where to get the parts to repair it. We went back to the beginning to cook food, but the logistics of trying to haul things with our limited inventories back and forth to get food and also explore became unfun so we quit.
My friend and I tried to get into Abiotic Factor, I love the setting, I love the premise, but we had a very difficult time getting a foot hold where we were just dying of starvation over and over. I need to circle back and try the game again, the same thing happened with Subnautica, took a few tries to get enough momentum to get established and have fun exploring.
With the Earth's elliptical orbit, momentum would only get you so far in terms of sticking with the planet.
I came to this to post the same method with turning off lights so they go toward my patio door, then I just crack the door and shoo them out. Glad to see someone else using this very fast method, generally it only takes a few minutes for the fly to decide it doesn't want to be in the dark.
If a company can make a change to make more money, and they think they can get away with it, they'll always make that change. Shit, there's an article about Warren getting angry about digital price takes Kroger is looking at using. Their plan is to start with it to dynamically change prices of products depending on things like weather, I.E., heat wave, increase price of ice cream and ice.
They also planned to use cameras and facial recognition to analyze customers, figure out gender, age, etc, then build profiles on individual customers and how much of a price hike they could stomach and dynamically price per customer.
I mean, that's like cartoonishly evil behavior, but they're willing to try it if it means more money. So of course companies across the U.S. increased prices under the guise of inflation, because infinite growth is the expectation, never too much money right? Law makers will need to step in to curb some of the worst examples of all of t his greedflation.
I've found that when I'm faced with infinite possiblities, it's difficult to think of new things, sort of a "paralysis through analysis" type of thing. I found this great site which lists out artistic techniques and a ton of other things to try out.
Andrei Kovalev's Midlibrary 2.0

For example, I saw in the library how cool paper cut outs could be with Midjourney, so I tried paper cut out, female samurai and iterated a ton of times and got the image I've attached, and I adored how it turned out.
What are some of your favorite artistic styles which have teased out the best results from Midjourney?
I was trying for "Bone Queen" and in one of my iterations, I wanted to see if I could get a King and Queen, but got just a queen and I loved how it looked.
Prompts: King and Queen of Bone::5 beautiful::5 nightmare::5 throne of bone::3 flowers::-3
I wanted to try for a nice picture of Morticia Addams holding a rose, though Midjourney when set to "Very High" style just defaults to blindingly beautiful young women. I ended up liking the results, but used the Zoom Out 2x feature to pull back the view to filling more detail and make the women take up less space. Prompts:
Morticia Addams, goth, pale skin, mature, older, gown, rose, evil, dark, beautiful, cartoon, devil --ar 16:9

Oh I wasn't implying safe was good, it's the worked shopped, focus group drivel they put out. They view it as safe, instead of taking a risk, making something with a creative vision. I'm sorry I hadn't meant to imply safe was the best choice, quite the opposite.
