Well the earliest I can think of christians getting in to politics is ancient Rome, but I’m sure it’s been happening since before then too. As for the US, something tells me they’ve been involved from the start, regardless of what the constitution says.
I mean for me motivation is heavily influenced by my energy level.
Yeah I wouldn’t have an issue with them if they weren’t so incompatible with most of the programs and sites I like to use. It makes them super inconvenient to work with. I know some apps are catching up and supporting them, but it feels like the adaptation is slow and patchy which makes it difficult to know which programs will support webp at some point and when.
Oda is heavily involved, so I’m going to give it a try for him.
I have about 4 bucks to my name atm.
Thanks, I’ll check those ones out!
I’d suggest just pirating the movie via a torrent site.
That’s really not an option for me right now financially since I need to keep costs down as much as possible. But I’ll keep that in mind for the future.
What’s a good Gmail alternative that has a relatively professional name? I have a hotmail account from way back still, but the name “hotmail.com” has always sounded silly to me. I guess there’s Outlook but idk if they’re the best option.
I don’t think any particular kindle needs to be cracked or modded, you just have to pirate the files and make them compatible with software like calibre then put them on your kindle that way. Same with stuff like kobo. I downloaded a bunch of stuff into my kobo glow to read on planes or during long trips when I don’t wanna drain my phone battery.
Hmm, I have a calendar somewhere that includes holidays and events from around the world. There are actually quite a few days with no events or holidays, so it’s not unheard of. My guess is that a good candidate is likely somewhat distanced from seasonal constants like the equinox.
That should absolutely constitute a stalking charge at the very least. But I recommend talking to a lawyer to be sure about what you can or can’t do legally.
I don’t, but I also tend to talk about stuff that tends to involve a lot of atypical names or words or slang that gets autocorrected to something wrong a lot when I use swipe, and I can’t be arse to figure out how to get it to work for that stuff, so I just stick to typing it out most of the time. It just feels more natural for me.
You can ingest it, but you can’t digest it and it won’t provide much if any nutrition. It’ll probably make you constipated though.
They didn’t say anything about feeling morally superior, they just explained where and why many vegans differentiate between plants, bacteria, and animals. And let’s not pretend that other people, including non vegans, don’t also draw these lines at any other point, and don’t only bring up these supposed areas of debate whenever veganism is brought up. It’s a personal choice based on personal motivations, just because someone holds a different view from you that doesn’t automatically mean they feel superior to you. This comment is giving me the feeling you’re just looking for an excuse to rag on vegans, when they’re not even the ones who started the discussion.
If you decide you want to be vegan then yes. If you don’t want to be vegan then I guess it’s up to you whether you want to draw a line anywhere or not, or where that line is.
I’m not sure what you expect vegans to eat then. They can only reduce the harm they cause so much. Drawing the line at creatures that move around and actively interact with their environment, including avoiding injury and reacting to negative stimulus, is easier than trying to subsist on, like, nothing. As for bacteria, we can’t like, see them, or avoid them. It’s literally impossible to not ingest them. Plus the only time we actually target bacteria is when it’s harming us, and it’s not like vegans don’t believe in enacting self defense against something that attacked you first. But we can pretty easily avoid eating jellyfish. It in fact takes more effort to eat jellyfish than it does to not eat jellyfish. I mean you can try to get pedantic about it, like whether plants avoid negative stimulus or whatever, but again, vegans have to eat something, or they’d, y’know, die. Jellyfish can have an observable avoidant reaction to harm. It’s a relatively simple line to draw when you have to draw one somewhere.
And no, you can’t hurt a chair, because a chair is an inanimate object. There are humans who don’t have the ability to feel pain, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be hurt, as in harmed. It also doesn’t make them the same as a chair.
They are a living creature, so no, eating them is not vegan. It’s not about the capacity of the animal to feel pain, it’s about the capacity of humans to harm animals that most vegans take issue with, at least most that I know. Just because something can’t feel pain, does that mean we should hurt it? I’m not vegan myself, and I don’t think it’s inherently wrong for omnivores to eat meat, but I do think that it doesn’t matter if the animal can supposedly feel pain or not. We don’t need to go looking for excuses to hurt other living creatures needlessly.
Sleep a lot, take vitamins immunity boosting supplements, take the proper cold meds (what you need depends on the type of cough/cold you have. Sometimes you need a decongestant, sometimes you need an expectorant, and so on), and, of course, stay hydrated. There’s no need to stop taking cold meds if they’re working, your body will do “what it needs to” just fine with medication. Cold meds don’t prolong a cold. The only symptom that might have an effect if you treat it is a low grade fever, but even then it doesn’t have a significant effect so it’s really not worth suffering over. So you can either look for some cough meds that don’t treat a fever (aka stuff without acetaminophen or ibuprofen in them), or you can just get the individual ingredients that are found in generic cold medicine which don’t target fevers and take them that way like guaifenesin or dextromethorphan or whatever one fits your particular cold. Or if you’re feverish and don’t want to feel uncomfortable you can just take cold meds that also target fevers and even if it does affect how long your sickness lasts, and tbh it probably won’t, then it likely won’t be to a degree that you’ll notice (honestly there’s debate on whether treating a fever can prolong an illness, but I’m trying to cover my bases). Most of the time when people think their cold meds made them sick longer what actually happened is that their meds suppressed their symptoms enough that they stopped resting and recuperating too soon and/or over-exerted themselves, and that’s what made them sick longer. Just make sure to continue to rest and stay hydrated properly for an appropriate amount of time and you won’t have that issue.
Instructors and art books literally give permission to use them as a “stepping stone” by definition. The entire point of them is to offer input to other artists.
Also the main difference is that a human has a human mind and is making creative decisions unique to that human. The problem is that a narrow AI algorithm cannot be anything BUT derivative. They don’t think, they don’t have a mind that filters the data through a unique perspective, they just process the data like a series of conveyer belts. If you never give a human any input from other artists they can still make art, that’s why we have cave paintings. But a narrow AI algorithm needs specific input via specific pieces of art or else it can’t create anything. With that in mind permission and consent is much more important to the artists whose specific pieces are being fed into the algorithm. It’s generally considered good form to credit inspiration in derivative work, but we understand that human nature means that humans may not always remember or realize what or who inspired them. AI doesn’t have that excuse. We are perfectly capable of only feeding images that we are given permission to use into AI, and we are perfectly capable of having the AI log and report what works it used data from.
