Thank you for the reminder I should binge some QI again.

Today I read the news.

…mentally and emotionally hurting counts too, right?

AI-generated art posted anywhere can bother me. It depends.

If the art comes with a post crediting the art and artists used to create the piece? I don’t mind them, even if the art isn’t to my taste. But more than often it’s not. And I do consider it stealing if the AI-generated art wasn’t pulling only from the person who was using the AI’s own art.

As most take from anywhere on the internet and attributes it to no one, I shall continue to block.

Some people in the comments are missing the point. You didn’t want something. You told your parents you and your partner didn’t want it. You were given and pressured into it regardless.

Do not feel awful for not appreciating it. It doesn’t matter why you don’t. Your parents have ignored you completely. Not just you on the cruise, but your wishes in the first place. It doesn’t matter how nice Cozumel is. If you are stressed out from the cruise experience to start with, you won’t be in the mind space to enjoy something else you might have if you were visiting it normally.

OP, this is not your fault. You have every right to feel angry. You were left out in many ways and guilted into feeling bad about yourself for not enjoying something you upfront said you didn’t want.

I hope this gives you the ability to stand your ground in the future. Sure, it can be nice to experience new things and find out you like something you never thought you would. But that’s up to you to decide. Whether its about a cruise or something else, only you and your partner should make that decision for yourselves. I hope you call your parents out on this, but if you don’t, I hope you can always say “no” without buckling in the future.

Sounds like you have a lot in common with my father’s reading tastes. In which case, I will recommend the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde.

Yeah, but the community here is theonion. The comment applies the same for any of the satire sites.

For real. The headline could have said “The U.S. is unprepared” and covered the same concepts.

Sorry, Onion, some of these literally have Christmas in their titles. That’s a stretch, even for you. XD

I’m not surprised. I forget when I looked up the research, but several hair typed definitely don’t need shampoo as much as people think they do. That we have another product (conditioner) yo undo the damage shampoo does to out hair is astounding.

As for the overall bathing thing, I agree. It depends on what you do day to day, your environment, and genetics. With all three of those factors, some people need to bath more often than others need to.

Most of my washing routine is actually for chronic pain. I don’t need to scrub for smell too much, but hot water feels good on pained areas.

Sounds like a part of Imposter syndrome. “My problems aren’t that bad”, but if someone else had the same problems? You would recognize it as it is. Only when they are your problems do you decide you shouldn’t feel as bad about them.

As uncertain as I am about the technology, people already steal voices from voice actors, singers, and celebrities. At this point I’m just glad these artists gave their permission.

Beauty And Warrior. Bad animation, every young woman looked the same (the brothers too, but maybe they are twins?), bad voice acting, repeating the same bad ”going down the cavern” scene three times, and I still don’t know what anyone’s reason for doing anything was.

It is a hilarious movie to drop on people. Even after telling them how awful it is, everyone is always surprised.

The end of the game blew my mind out of the water in a way no other twist has ever quite captured. It might have been the mental space I was in at the time too. Whatever the case, I will always remember the first time I played it.

I also wish I had played the first Golden Sun before the second, so if I could put a duology and that caveat in there? Definitely those two.

Unfortunately it’s only painful for the rest of us.
