Lemmy largely is very anti AI art. You’re basically going to a vegan convention and asking “Is it ok if I have a little meat? As a treat?”

Is there a well defined “then”? Shortcuts are hard to stop arbitrarily using. If your goal is to become a better artist I would focus more on practicing your art instead of fitting AI into your art.

What about self hosted AI image generators or companies who pay royalties to artists for units sold?

I think you have created complicated rules for “piracy I enjoy/condone is good. Copying that I don’t like is bad.”

I don’t see there being a lot of room for to ever defend piracy and also hate AI influenced art

The Force Awakens wasn’t the issue?! There has never been a movie that was a bigger issue for a franchise. It was so obviously just a shot for shot reskin of A New Hope even the executives noticed it. That’s how we got to the errors with the second and third movies because The Force Awakens was so clearly garbage in writing and directing. If Abrams hadn’t fucking goofed it so hard by playing it so safe and thinking so little of his audience then none of the following errors would have had to happened.

Ha. I was looking at the wrong picture in the linked thingiverse file. It does fill them in. That does look better.

It means it has measured your bed and the left side of your bed is higher than the right. Don’t get twisted about the graphic as it can exaggerate the shape. Look at the numbers. I don’t know off the top of my head if those are excessive

It looks like you’re either way too close to the bed or your nozzle needs to be replaced. Looks like massive over extrusion. Fat fat print lines. Your model has no printing in the diagonal yet your print has it in almost every square. Maybe you’re failing to retraction.

Ha! I recognize that manatee! We actually visited this summer and had a lot of fun.

I’m interested in Scythe! Thanks!

It’s not downtime if you’re required to do something in uniform

It’s almost as if Putin just called him and said “Ok, this is what you say to get American support for invading your neighbor.”

I think this is pretty right in spirit. I think he did have love for the institutions of his time but did disagree with them and with the religious leaders of the time. If they could have comes to their senses he would welcome them too.

I’m very sorry about what happened to your parents and in turn the effects these schools had on you and your family. From everything I’ve heard the Canadian government has treated the indigenous people terribly.

Nothing in Jesus’s teachings or the New Testament says “Running torture centers is what you should do”.

There are a lot of bad people who want to claim what they’re doing is what God told them to do because it makes it easier to get away with or easier for them to stomach themselves.

Yeah, I suppose I should have clarified the Christian collection plate, but I didn’t think that was necessary because OP asked what we think Jesus would think about tithing.

Yeah, there are definitely bad people out there trying to take advantage of Christians and make money off them. I think that’s exactly what Jesus was mad about. If Jesus was born today he would probably be chasing televangelist’s phone operators away from their desks with a whip and flipping computer desks of the people trying to scam Christian grandmas.

Like any other organization if you look hard enough and if it’s what you’re looking for then you can see people doing bad things but I do not think organized Christian religion is bad as a whole.

No he did not invent tithing. Sorry if it seems that’s what I suggested. There are a few things the church does in the Old Testament that Christians specifically do NOT do so imo it’s important to point out where in Jesus’s teachings these practices are reaffirmed.

Christian religions follow the teachings of Jesus so if Jesus had said something contrary to the idea of tithing it is worth noting. Likewise if he had done something to reaffirm it then that is worth noting.

They had turned the church into a marketplace. So if you’re in it just for the money then yeah you’re a problem.

Jesus actually sent out the disciples to teach without any money and expected them to live on the generosity of the people they taught so that’s where the collection plate likely originates from.

I think it’s important to honor/respect your father. If you were born into the same situation with the same genes, upbringing, environment, and family you can’t say you would do any better. Maybe he is doing the best he understands how to do.

I also believe in forgiveness. Your dad might be a piece of shit that did a lot of damage to you. Holding that against him is limiting your life more than his.

However I don’t think forgiveness and respect require you to make yourself vulnerable. These are both things you can do from a distance.

Respect him but understand that he is showing you who he is and not who you want him to be. You have to control how close you want to let this person get to you. For some people it is good to temporarily put some distance while you figure out how you want to run things in your life instead of trying to live by rules you learned while living with your parents.

I understand I didn’t actually answer your question. If you think he is legitimately dependent on you and you can help him out of love then I think you shouldn’t give up on him. If you think you just have a duty to “worry about him” I would say you probably don’t.

Text a friend about a time they did something they would be proud of that you liked.

“Hey, I was just thinking about that time we were canoeing and you kept saying ‘Man these trees are so knotty’ it was hilarious!”

“Dude, I’ve been trying to think of ideas for my own D&D campaign and I don’t know how you do it. I always enjoy playing your campaigns”
