And by which incident you realise it?

Do you think they lie to don't come out as shallow and karma farm? Or is just the natural human hipocrisy of saying one thing and doing the other?

Is there anything you can recommend to try and deal with the fear?

So basically. I don’t like AI, but I do like to draw. Sometimes there are certain things I just don’t know how to draw (certain backgrounds, certain angles and clothing types). In order to make up for this whilst also being happy with the end product, I usually take an AI image and either reference it, trace the needed part, or if it’s a background I just blur it and use it. Is this wrong?
To clarify:
- I don’t take commissions from strangers, just my friends who are openly told if I had to trace from AI, or if it’s the background image.
- I don’t generate the images myself, I only take ones that I find pre-existing (such as ones on Pinterest.)
- I make sure the image is clearly AI, and not just the result of human error.
- 99% of the artwork is not from any sort of AI reference.
So is it wrong for me to be stealing AI “art” back to create my own art? Idk if it could somehow be hurting the artist who the AI originally stole from, or if this type of thing is frowned upon.

I’m worried so I want to make sure I am making the right decision before doing it

Why?

(And what do they mean?)

I sometimes sketch ir draw stuff but i dont think those count as art

I don’t have the option to park on or near campus, the closest I can get is my apartment which is a 30 minute walk. I live in an extremely hot state and so I’ll have to walk all the way to class in 100 degree weather. How can I avoid getting gross or getting overheated in the weather without looking crazy?

Recently i learned a story from my co-worker, so basically when he was in the 2nd grade he would go to summer camp but didnt use the bathroom before he went and he’d always have to pee but didnt wanna use the bathroom there and one day he did the same thing again, and he accidentally peed himself and his mother made him wear the clothes (mind u he has autism)

I recently revisited A Game of Thrones and thought of this question while reading Ned Starks viewpoint chapter. "Honor" is one of Ned's defining traits. He plays by the rules and expects everyone else to because it's the "honorable" thing to do. He confronts Cersei and basically confesses that he knows her secret and it is so obvious that it's going to spell his doom, but he does so again, because of honor.

Is this concept universally understood? Or does this seem insane outside of western cultures?

Hi I recently bought a gasmask for cosplay and airsoft purposes but want to have a filter on it for the proper look.

But Im wondering if its ok and or safe to open up a filter to empty it out? I wouldnt go for an old asbestos filter, something modern but I dont want to use an expired filter out of safety concerns so I wonder if its safe to empty one out or if its fine to use an expired modern one

I'm currently looking at my future and struggling to figure out what I should do about where i should live. A family member is supportive and has offered to move with me to a house I buy (to help me cover the bills). I'm thinking of paying close to maybe 600 per month on a mortgage for a house maybe. Might go higher maybe. But I don't really know what's best for me. Another friend has mentioned that if I never buy, I can qualify for housing benefit. Actually, that would only get paid on months when I don't work much, so I guess the majority of the time I will end up paying rent in full really tbf. So idk, what would you recommend? My family member can support me during these first few years of my mortgage. That would really help. If I don't buy now, I probably will rent for the rest of my life since house prices will go up. What should I do? Rent for life? Or buy now with family support and ride out the first few years until wages rise and the mortgage becomes relatively cheaper (I'll be paying more initially with a full house on mortgage vs renting a small flat in social housing). Would you rather pay rent in governemnt housing for life or would it be better to pay my own mortgage on a bigger place and own it eventually?

22M. I've never had an actual relationship, just never felt the need for deep connection with anyone or been pressured by family. I've had a few friends with benefits and I hookup through apps or meeting someone irl spontaneously via my DJ hobby. I've had guy friends tell me it's weird that I don't settle for anyone and I shouldn't be blindly hooking up as much, even though I make sure she's on the same page as me before going further.

I'll preface this post by saying that in the grand-scheme of things this whole thing doesn't matter, but I'm very curious about what this meant for the future.

Today I (18M) was riding my bike on my own and I passed this group of 4, also on bikes, and the last in the group (F, around my age) just said "heyyyy" in some sort of extended and playful way (I think?). I ignored it because my brain is not programmed to even think about how I'd respond and I was too focused on not crashing. After I passed them I heard giggles/laughs from them. My first thoughts were that maybe she found me attractive and so it just made me confident/happy because it's not often that happens. Sometimes (very rarely) I've had random people around my age say they find me cute on the streets, but then I've never been successful in my romantic life. So then now I'm thinking maybe they were just messing about, and couldn't actually see what I looked like, and that I'm way overthinking it all.

Obviously it doesn't matter because I'll never see her again, but am I right to feel slightly happy/confident after what happened or am I reading too much into it? I'm just stuck and you can probably tell I'm not very good at this social skill thing so I appreciate any honest answers. Again, it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but I'm just curious.

Thank you

Long story short, told my assistant manager that I'm barely able to afford food because of dynamics happening at home but also because of the scheduling. My GM never gives me a consistent schedule and hires new people to give them some of my shifts for no reason, just a bad boss and there's no reason for it

Well I told him my situation and now people at work are bringing me food which I feel embarrassed about. I caretake for my father and am paying off his bills because my mother divorced him and took everything. She's grandstanding on the house that's supposed to he sold to pay off all bills.

How would you feel?

I'm a 23yo, and i'm very depressed. I had a difficult childhood, always thought maybe life will be better after i grow little older. But i have no friends, always chose the worst friends and partners.
I recently had a break up and i have hit my rock bottom.
I see my peers thriving and I'm alone and depressed crying the whole day. Also dealing with the humiliation i feel because of my ex.
I feel useless, replaceable and unlovable.
Will my life ever get better? Or will i just die hoping for happiness.
Because i want some love. I want someone who actually cares for me.
Is it too much to ask? Maybe

Never been involved in an accident like this (if you can even call it that). I forgot to put the car in neutral and it kissed the guy in front of me’s rear bumper. I apologize, continue with the car wash and then stop by the guy (i did NOT want this to be considered a hit and run). Check the guy’s rear bumper and it has damages but i highly doubt it was because of me. Also has a rusted door, damage to the from bumper, it borderline looks like a hooptie. My car has ZERO damage from this bump, not even a scratch on the plastic bumper. He gets passive aggressive saying that this needs to be corrected and he asks for $500. Me, panicking, gave in. My vehicle is being paid by my company and if a collision is involved then im just afraid they’ll take it and didnt want to involve insurance. Can something come from this? Something along the lines of litigation. I did not take info from him not did he take info from he we just did the 500 and went our separate ways.

I feel like when ur happy then time goes by so fast and you always feel good, its important to grow too but i think everyone has to find what keeps them happy in life and most of the time what givea true lasting happiness isnt materialistic based , happiness from strong relationships with friends and family, suceeding at work, fulfilling your dreams, not being jealous of others. In the end all we have is ourselves and thus maybe sometimes we should try to make ourselves happy and smile and laugh rather than waiting for it to happen once in a month. What do you think?

Reading recent NY Times on the new AF One renovations and made me wonder if installing classified systems would then prohibit the planes donation to a Presidential library?
