Tech grifters latch on to the newest and most prominent buzzword. That is AI now. Most people still talking about blockchain in 2026 actually know things about it.
You sound a lot like me before I transitioned. I would highly encourage it.
The doubt is normal. I felt the doubt constantly from the time I started considering I might be trans until I started taking estrogen. The doubt lessened greatly, but it was still there. The doubt and fear came back whenever it was time to take the next step. The first time wearing a dress in public, coming out to friends and family, changing my name, every time the doubt came back. What if I'm not really trans? The doubt is part of journey, its a fundimential part of the trans experience, but so is the courage to push past the doubts.
I would highly encourage you to take a small step. Something small, something low commitment. Take that step, see how it feels. If it feels right, take the next one.
I used to always do a forced smile for pictures. Dysphoria made it impossible to smile genuinely. Though I'm fine now, the forced smile is a difficult habit to break. Thanks for the advice I think it will help!
LLMs are predictive models. They scraped as much text as possible to create a model that predicts the next word accurately. To generate text, the LLM assembles a sequence of likely next words.
That exact same sort of model can be turned around and asked, how closely did the actual next word match the predicted one? Good test for training the LLM. A better model will make more accurate predictions.
AI checkers are usually doing that test. Does the real text match what the AI predicted? It sounds like a test of the text, but it really isn't. In this case, yes. Of course an AI trained on Mary Shelly's Frankenstein can accurately predict the next word of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. It has the whole book memorized, if it were accurate to anthropomorphize computer code.
So the "checker" calls it AI generated. These checkers don't work.
Iran is on one side of the strait, Oman is on the other. Giving Iran sovereignty would mean taking away sovereignty from Oman. Countries are supposed to be able to control their own coastlines and territorial waters.
The strait is narrow enough that there is no buffer of international waters in the middle at its narrowest. Giving one country sovereignty of the whole strait would mean violating the the sovereignty of another. Not a fair proposition.
I did basically that except I don't have a filming shelf or studio lighting. Of course from scratch using the recipe from the classic american cookbook, "The joy of cooking."
I was yapping to wifey in the other room, and most of those other things. Pancakes were very good.
I like to make thick american pancakes, but they tend to be from 1-2 cm. 3 cm is a bit beyond what an American style recipe can achieve in my estimation.
For thr true 3+ cm pancake experience you have to get Japanese style soufflé pancakes.
Crude MS-Paint drawings are the best placeholder art. Scribbles can be made as fast, if not faster than AI. It shows the information it needs to show, but most importantly its incredibly obviously unfinished art that needs to be redone before release.
AI art looks pretty good at a distance without close inspection. You have to look closely and spend time to tell AI from art. Late in production when rushing for the deadline is not a point when you have the time to look closely at the assets, so AI placeholders will get missed.
I see no issues with using multiple labels in any combination. If it describes you well have at it! People are complex. No system of categories can survive contact with the real world. There will always be exceptions and edge cases.
I am an asexual lesbian. You can be a bi lesbian. That's fine too!
I often get called "ladies" when I'm out with my wife and we're doing women coded activities like shopping for makeup or clothes. Its nice. Most of my friends just call me my name, which I like. I picked a good name.
When I'm out alone I get they/them'd from strangers who try to be supportive, and it hurts a little. Not as much as on the phone when I usually get sir'd. I despise that word. That word sounds contemptuous to me under all circumstances.
Before transition... I try not to think about those times lol
The white house refused because republicans are not paying the tsa by choice and intent. The republicans have multiple times voted down funding for the tsa alone. They want the tsa to be unfunded.
He is the kind of narcissist wants to be seen as helping people in very visible ways. He swoops in when something is big in the news in because that makes you pay attention to him. He doesn't go where help is most needed, but where its most visible.
Like that time there were kids stuck in a cave. International news, so he very loudly told everyone he was using all his resources to solve it. Pay attention to me I'm doing good!!!!!
That's physically impossible. We need to instead make the country smaller.
