I know I can’t be the only one that, even if AI was up to doing all this reliably, wouldn’t want AI spending my money on it’s own like this, surely?

Well, the post you’re replying to has at least two people who agree with you, so I’d say probably not the only one, no

Was going to suggest the LotR trilogy, but this is much more appropriate. Also, this gives the doggo a chance to see if they like the universe of Middle Earth and Tolkien’s literary style before committing to something lengthier.

Say what you will, the lightsaber app was cool and definitely worth $0.99 to get custom colors.

That would make sense! When I first read about it, my mind went to something the size of a collectible model that you’d put on a table or shelf. But the model for the movie probably was much larger than that to allow a great level of detail to be seen in the movies.

Ugh, I love these movies so much, haha.

Because your top level comment makes sense while the rest of your replies devolved into a caps-locked crash out aimed at anything resembling nuance. Now I’m more convinced you’re 14.

He’s clearly not a source of knowledge or good opinions on fucking anything.

So here’s my take on this, because I’ve seen similar personalities make similar pivots.

This guy is a disgusting, bumbling idiot, but he speaks with certainty and condescension. The curious onlooker will see him, get trapped by the mindset you describe (“oh man, this guy’s a trainwreck, let’s see how much worse off he is than me”), find it funny and continue watching.

After establishing some sort of “trust” with the audience (“I’m a big dumb idiot who makes you laugh”) he pulls out the manipulative speech. “You’d have to be stupid to-”; “this guy’s a retard!”; “It doesn’t make any sense”, etc. Once you get to this part of the steam, you’ve already established that the dude’s an idiot, but you also think he’s funny. You’re faced with the decision to either laugh along with his “jokes”, or “accept” that this buffoon is “more educated” on a topic than you are. The fragile, uninformed audience these people are after are much more likely to go the latter route.

I don’t think they said farming was fun, and I’m also not sure that you lived on a farm “before people started measuring time” 🤷🏾‍♂️

14 year olds when they see someone criticizing their lifestyle:

Did you edit the title to remove that she’s related to him? I thought I saw it in the title but now it’s gone.

If anyone else is curious like I was, the Tower of Orthanc was made using a small model and scaling it up into a CGI scene. It’s unlikely ents trees were harmed in great number to achieve the shots.

Ah, I think it means to keep it away from children 😅 but you also shouldn’t burn babies with them either.

Thanks for reminding me of this guy. I lost him up my butthole.

I’m not gonna lie, you’ve got me rethinking my position pointing out the right side of it. I do think though, that if it were at the top and resting on the one step, that the corner of the mattress resting on the step would be bowed in a bit more.

It is quite tricky.

How does the single mattress in half bit make you think it’s at the top? If it were at the top, the force of the mattress trying to straighten itself out would push it down the stairs. Much more likely the mattress was pushed/ tossed/ fell down the stairs and got folded in that position, imo.

Edit: the shadows are also indicative of it being at the bottom: light source from above and and from the sides at the base of the stairs, either from an open door or window. Shadow cast from the door light source being cancelled by the light source from above the stairs.

Yeah I see people complaining about AI but this just looks like every shit post I made in 2015 paint.net

One thing that helped was stopping to think about why I wanted to do each thing.

Boom. This was big for me too. Usually my issue is holding myself to non-existent time constraints, like “I want to do X but I have to get Y done or I can’t until next weekend.” Ok, why is it a problem that Y can’t be done next weekend? Obviously if it’s something like a chore or errand it doesn’t apply, but if it’s just a little side project I’ve been working on, Y can wait if I’d rather do X, especially if I’m just going to sit and wallow over not doing either instead.

Ahhhh. That makes sense. Thanks

And everyone knows it’s impossible to mistake one sound for another!

I don’t see what you’re talking about, zip tie or poorly parked SUV

That’s all fine and dandy until you’re trying to download a .bin file containing a 12 year old version of the firmware that an ancient piece of tech your entire network relies on up and running again. Sometimes you do what you gotta do.
