Let me play among the stars.

What is it exactly that should be done differently?

The first thing that comes to mind is that Democratic politicians should remember who their core voting block is. They need to give up on the triangulation nonsense. Republicans already have their Anointed One and will never vote for a shoddy imitation, and that very act of imitation is driving away the progressive vote.

On the bright side, at least we'll finally be rid of the motherfucker on Inauguration Day 2029, assuming he doesn't keel over from oldasfuckitis before then.

I'm watching it happen in real time and STILL questioning how it happened. Humans are some stupid motherfuckers. America burned its hand on Trump, and now a disturbing number of Americans are reaching for him again with the same hand, still blistered from the first time.

Yep. Early game, you accidentally time travel to the past. You fix what got broken by the time travel incident, get back, and go through a kangaroo court. You escape from that, find another portal, and after fighting your way through some futuristic ruins, you find out this mountain-sized porcupine-looking thing with a graboid head erupted out of the ground shooting lasers everywhere, and the rest of the game revolves around preventing that.

Oof. Looks like I'm the one who looks silly now.

Wasn't even required reading for me. I was just flipping through my textbook one day and found that in one of the sections the class was never going to reach.

I would encourage you to read the post more carefully. It doesn't say anything about how many men oppose abortion. It's making a claim about how many abortion opponents are men. Therefore, the 21% left over in that statement are in fact women who, most likely due to religious brainwashing, oppose abortion.

It's not saying that 79% of men are abortion opponents.

It's saying that 79% of abortion opponents are men.

Those two statements are very different.

Let's not beat around the bush here. They were aborted because they were basically already dead in the "Fist of the North Star" sense of the phrase. Nothing could be done to save them. The would-be mothers knew there was nothing that could save their pregnancies. Their doctors knew there was nothing that could save these pregnancies. They were forced to keep going anyway.

Seems like a skill issue to me.

Oh those guys dipped out over a millennium ago.

 

We've all been there. Something goes wrong, so you call customer service. What answers is a bizarre, arcane mess of an answering machine where you have to puzzle out exactly how company x categorizes customer issues when all you want is to talk to a human being. Saying "Complaint" cuts through all of that, but you might need to wait on hold for a bit. Just make sure you're nice to the person on the other end.

 

I've been on a bit of a blue/orange spree recently, and I really like how this one turned out.

Process: On a whim, I downloaded this image from another Artbreeder user:

In GIMP, I duplicated the image into four layers and used Gradient Map to have a version in black/orange, white/orange. black/blue, and white/blue, and selectively erased bits of each layer until I was satisfied, ending up with this:

Finally, I fed that back into Artbreeder, messed with my prompt, added noise after a few rolls didn't go the way I wanted, and ended up with this input:

 

Rendered for AB's Embroidery contest. Screenshot of inputs:

For the Bob Ross, I took a previous render, loaded it into GIMP, slapped a frame over it, and cut out the corners. Then I saved it and uploaded it back into Artbreeder. The wood was a stock image of some cutting boards that I found with Artbreeder's internal search feature. I cut out what I wanted and stretched it to fit the canvas as my background.

 

Rolled this earlier today on Artbreeder when I was trying to make portraits of wholesome fellows in this style. Decided to share it here.

Inputs:

This image:

Prompt: steve irwin, crocodile hunter, watercolor by kentaro miura, norman rockwell, stanley artgerm, vibrant pastels, crocodiles in background.

AI: 71, Steps: 30, Guidance: 12, Seed: 33, Model: SDXL, Mode: img2img

I also rolled some Carl Sagan, Bob Ross, and Fred Rogers images.

 

Generated for Artbreeder's sword contest. I'm pretty happy with it, so I thought I'd share.

 

You're on the naughty list, and Santa craves human flesh. Rendered with SDXL on Artbreeder.

 

Rendered 6 days ago on Artbreeder and upscaled just moments ago.

 

I felt like doing some creepy eyes yesterday. SDXL on Artbreeder.
