The other site has a sub called incorgnito for corgi hybrids. Can confirm, all have corgi builds.

While I approve of how the ruling turned out, I wouldn’t categorize this as uplifting news for two reasons:

1. it potentially sets up for AI companies to get away with their piracy
2. it’s part of a general wave of Supreme Court rulings absolving corporations for the damage they enable through their products

Says the AI slop…

the timing of the tassle and silk is so off for mine that most pollen will just fall off before the silk even came out

I’ve had this happen before too; I assume it’s too prevent self-pollination, but is super frustrating. As far as keeping the pollen from blowing away, I read somewhere that the best time to hand-pollinate is around 10-11am, which has worked well for me (but I don’t live in an especially windy climate).

I’ve had good success hand-pollinating corn. But a husk-less ear is definitely a new one.

Huge differences in response based on demographics. The article goes into it more in detail. For instance:

Among urban, suburban and rural residents alike, Republicans are consistently more likely than Democrats to want to live somewhere with houses that are larger and more spread out. For example: 84% of rural Republicans and 51% of rural Democrats prefer this. 55% of urban Republicans and 30% of urban Democrats say the same.

Reading the title, it’s obvious OP cucurbit off more than they could chew.

immigration hurts the environment

Never heard that one before

True terror is realizing your high school class should be running the country, but for some reason their parents are still clinging to power.

We saw what happened when Internet platforms tried to be inclusive of differing viewpoints:

Nazis

Is it any surprise, then, that people started doubling-down on their echo chambers?

I’m really confused what this could be referring to.

Because the folks who’ve been around the longest and remember the early days of the Internet are currently in utter dismay over how their fun international sandbox has become a Black Mirror-esque horror show, while everyone else seems to just shrug and obediently upload their face scans so they can watch AI videos of uncanny-valley cats playing cruel pranks on facsimiles of political figures in-between unskippable ads for applying to be an ICE agent under promises that it’ll be like COD but in your own backyard with living, breathing brown people.

The Good Place. Highly recommended if you haven’t seen it.

Yet somehow manages to be among the smartest TV shows ever

This is really good! I really like the use of color and the painting style is pleasing. The subtle shades of the background blending into her top are especially well done.

If you’re looking for constructive criticism, the only two things that stood out were:

• the earrings look to be different lengths (but I know earrings like that can appear asymmetrical in real life, so maybe it’s just an illusion of the angle)

• I think the lower lip highlight is a touch too harsh and makes the lip look a bit flat and cartoonish; maybe needs a little smoothing, a thinner brush, or an additional “mid-light” layer?

But these were little nitpicks after staring at the image for a while. Overall, very nice piece!

I don’t care, I’m not giving up the em-dash in my own writing. Good luck reading half of my run-on sentences without it~~~

You and I have very different definitions of “mildly”

For Japanese cooking the resource I’ve been very happy with is https://www.justonecookbook.com/

But I’ll have to check yours out too!

Giving you an upvote because I think this is a legitimate position, but I strongly disagree. AI has become so pervasive in our lives that it’s extremely difficult to avoid even offline, so I see no problem with someone saying in an irl conversation, “I wish my mom would stop sending me AI slop videos” or “I can’t help but feel paranoid I’m going to wake up one morning and find out I’ve lost my thesis work to the latest microslop update” or “I’ve started dreading work ever since they hired ‘workslop Bill’”

My comment was more about the use of “female” as a noun, but your comment about which to use as an adjective raises an interesting point, especially because, as you mention, the generation to regularly say things like “woman doctor” in a not-so-great way has mostly died out. I’m not sure where things stand currently on which adjective is preferred; I think it’s mostly contextual at the moment? (Like “I would feel more comfortable being examined by a woman doctor” sounds grammatically a touch clunky but connotatively fine to me, whereas “I can’t believe what that idiot female doctor diagnosed me with” sounds grammatically correct but otherwise awful)

I agree that
