AH is better. It’s all artificial hype, there’s nothing intelligent about it

I’ve got a reason for you: it’s profitable for there to be some scarcity.

So Russia is invading? That alone, pretty much regardless of the reason, is enough to side with Ukraine.

But that reason, even if true, is one of the stupidest reasons to invade. A softer, more propaganda focused approach would be both far more effective and far less costly, in both lives and resources. So either Russian leadership is so useless that an invasion is the best they can come up with, or they’re invading to take over Ukraine. Incompetent to the point of malice, or malice. Take your pick.

LOTR. Especially the themes for the shire and the rohirrim.

And based on what Marx said, likely due to an opioid overdose.

It’s interesting to see nazi flags as the people criticizing the “socialist” countries, when the nazi party called themselves the “national socialist” party. They were only slightly worse at doing the socialism part than China and ussr

The point is “Russia can’t do the bad things because America does all the bad things and Russia isn’t America”. Because America being evil and Russia being evil are mutually exclusive of course.

What about an inverse centaur? Is it just a horse minotaur, or is the human head replaced by the front half of a horse?

I have a few thoughts on this. For context, I’m a Christian with equally big interests in science and theology.

A. Remember that scripture wasn’t written to us 21st century people. It was written in a context, in a language, at a time, for a culture, all different from what we have today. So for us to understand scripture we have to understand the context surrounding when it was written. This means hypothetical differences also need to go through this filter. For your examples of Native Americans or bacteria, what would the early Israelites have done with this information? I’d say it would have been seen as a weird side detail likely wouldn’t have survived being part of an oral tradition. Especially the bit about bacteria, since they didn’t have a word for it.

B. I don’t think that’s the point of the Bible. The way I describe it is “God’s biography”. A bunch of authors all wrote their part to try to communicate who God is and what he has done. These authors all had the chance to live close to God, and got pointers on topics to write about, then they all write about God.

C. I’ve had a similar conversation with some of my friends. We were playing “that’s a question” (party board game about guessing what answer this specific player will choose), and the question of “would you prove God’s existence/nonexistence?” came up. We’re all Christian, so we were talking about proving that God does exist, and we basically came to the answer that God has clearly built the world in a way that does not absolutely prove his existence, so he must have chosen to not prove it for some reason. Our best guess was that if it was proven, a lot of people would follow him out of obligation instead of love.

The only time I’ve seen real use from an ai tool is at work, we are using it to get data from an invoice/quote/etc from the pdf that we get emailed to data that we can put in the database. It’s not a perfect solution, but there isn’t really anything else we can find other than getting people to do it, which is slower and more expensive.

You’re in Seine

To make it even worse

Based on the way you’ve worded this, I’d say the best advice is don’t try to talk to women, just talk to people. Find people who share a common interest with you, and just hang out with them doing what you enjoy. Just live your life, and the talking to women part will happen naturally at some point.

Board games. Either just standard board games and chat while you play, or something like wavelength, that’s a question, or herd mentality to actually get to know people through the game.

My knowledge on them has its limits

There are a lot of people in this community, as well as lemmy as a whole, who are very anti genAI. From the environmental impact, to the ip infringement, to the honestly just shit output, it has not got a good reputation here.

You’re best of using a photo or art done by real people - either your own, commissioned from an artist, or publicly available stuff. If you’re adamant on using genAI, you’ll get better answers from a community specific to ai.

I went to Europe when I was 11, but now that I’m an adult and have an appreciation for history I’d love to go back. Me and my fiance have talked about traveling at some point. The main destinations are Ireland and Scotland, because our families are from there

I’ve never understood how people can be both religious and against science. For me, my faith is the biggest reason that I want to learn more about the world, because understanding someone’s creation is a great way to learn about the creator.
