Saw this in another subreddit with no prompt. My attempt at it Use the uploaded reference image as the sole identity anchor for the woman. Preserve her exact facial structure, facial proportions, skin tone, eye shape, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, natural asymmetry, and overall recognizable expression without alteration. Maintain visible pores, fine peach fuzz, realistic skin texture, and natural imperfections. Do not beautify, morph, stylize, or smooth the face. Create a photorealistic high-fashion editorial image inside a mirrored infinity chamber made of floor-to-ceiling mirror panels, mirrored ceiling tiles, and a glossy reflective floor. The dominant image engine is recur...

*Now Entering: The Collective Uncon-.* Frazie woke to silence. It wasn’t the quiet of an empty room or the whispered rush of the trapeze bar. What surrounded her was full and thick, effortlessly holding her in place, though she dared not move. Familiar faces greeted her. Many of them unwelcome. The bearded El Odio, ten times larger than she had seen him last, charges through the air. The horns of Edgar Teglee’s bovine alter ego were now big enough to gore both ends of a basketball court with a single thrust. Turning to the side, she spots the spidery hulk of the Phobiamalgamation gliding by her, having apparently broken free of gravity as well. Was it channeling aerozoophobi...

**Foreward** I've been sitting on this essay since around 2017, and it's been long enough. I've never shared this with anyone, but it needs to be out there in some format. It's a little opinionated in hindsight, but I didn't really write it with that intent. I wrote this to cope, and to crystallize my thoughts at the time, and to offer my story, at some point, to someone who would hear it. I revisited it recently and sanded down some of the rough bits, but mostly this is in the original format it was when I finished it about 7 years ago. I've not had the courage to put it anywhere until now. I figured I might as well post it anonymously on the Internet somewhe...

I want to try a shell swap on my switch lite and when I was looking for a shell on Amazon I found extremerate so I did some research and found the official website and the AliExpress page and noticed it had double the color options compared to the Amazon. This ***** because my parents are weird and won't let me order stuff online if it isn't from a large retailer like Amazon. i doubt the company browses this but figured I should say something.

Two days. Two sign changes. One of them is minor. The other happens once every seven years. Today is the in-between day. And it matters. Here's what's happening: Venus moved into Gemini just after midnight last night EDT. Venus is the planet that governs love, money, and what you find genuinely attractive. In Taurus, where it has been since March 30, Venus wanted depth, consistency, and the slow build of something real. In Gemini, Venus wants conversation, variety, and intellectual spark. The shift is noticeable. Connections that felt steady but a little heavy may suddenly feel lighter. What catches your attention may be different from what was catching it a week ago. This is not ...

​ The new focus on interviews, promotions, leave, and remote work systems makes the game feel more realistic and structured. It looks like the life simulation part is getting much deeper, which is a great step forward. The clothing store upgrades also sound really interesting. Adding inventory, trends, fashion shows, and marketing will make that career path more engaging and meaningful. And the hair stylist career improvements are a strong addition too. Skill-based styles and better customization will give players more freedom and creativity. Overall, this update feels like a solid improvement. It shows the game is developing in a good direction and becoming more detailed ...

No, this is not one of those crazy posts about societal collapse and needing to learn survival skills, or saying that you're a horrible person for taking a vacation. It is a post about how volatile oil prices and supply chains are in general and that it's only going to get worse since climate change is a real thing. It's just that if your only or primary hobby (or even just the highlight of your year) is that far flung getaway, getting new clothes or decor every month, going to large events like concerts or pro sports or theme parks, or even just getting the latest tech for high spec games, you might have a rough time eventually. Start small, maybe join a pickleball or bask...

Thing being desolate doesn't mean there is no action to take! I've recently been switching up how I do things to be more aware of the environment so I don't fall victim to complacency. I put together a list of stuff that I am doing and implementing that is cheap/free that don't take up an extreme amount of mental energy **1) Switching to Ecosia as a primary browser.** I am not too informed on the safety of this browser as compared to Google or Safari, so please comment what you know about it, but I have had no issues with it so far. You can turn off the AI feature on it easily. It feels like a small switch. The interface is great and prettier than most browsers, and eac...

I recently went out drinking with my friends and ran into an old acquaintance. We just exchanged greetings at first. About an hour later, my friends and I went to a convenience store to chill, and somehow the conversation shifted to him. Since I was drunk, I ended up ranting a bit, and I’ll admit some of what I said probably came off more harsh than I intended---esp since I was drunk. Most of the things I mentioned that I’ve heard other people feel too, but I didn’t express them in the best way. Well, lo and behold, I suddenly heard my name and realized he was sitting at a table behind us and heard everything. He just smiled and gave me the middle finger. The weird part is, I don’t...

For Anastasios Mazis, the past fortnight has been a test of patience and faith. His son, Michael Mazis, remains in Turkey following an incident at Hagia Sophia on April 9 (Orthodox Holy Thursday), where authorities allege he and a relative unfurled a Byzantine-era flag inside the historic site. The flag bore the words “Ορθοδοξία ή θάνατος” (“Orthodoxy or death”), a phrase long used in a devotional or identity-affirming sense. “Something has been lost in the translation,” Anastasios tells The Greek Herald. “Reports say the flag said, ‘Be Orthodox or die,’ but that is not the case at all and the words had nothing to do with inciting violence.” His fam...

I always ***** my alarm. I ***** it more when someone else would call me before my alarm would go off. Those extra minutes of sleep were precious and I didn’t give them up easily. This was different. November 19th was different. My friend Kris called me at 5:30 on a Saturday morning. “What?” I asked, irritated and still half asleep. “Dude, check your messages,” he responded without clarification. “Why?” I asked, putting my pillow over my head, hoping maybe I'd run out of air and be able to use passing out as an excuse not to. “Just do it.” He sounded serious. I reluctantly swiped out of the call and opened my text messages with him. Seventeen, by the way. The on...

Ryan Reed and Bennett are on break, the former trying to spark a conversation, the latter trying to make it as clear as possible that the other was aimlessly wandering down a one way street. Ryan Reed gleams brightly for his age and state of life, he’s inquisitive, leaning forward with open body language and a vibrant smile that reveals several missing teeth. Most of the others are stained an upsetting black at their base, fading into a deep, dark yellow. He’s got one thing in mind; \*this ******* aluminum coated egg has got to crack and open up at some point\*. If there’s one thing Ryan Reed prides himself in - there certainly isn’t much, him being a past-middle-aged divorced man ...

Hi. Quick background, then questions. She is 17 and thus far has not wanted to change to a male name or pronouns. She got her period at 10, which seems way too young — still a kid — and she ***** it. Prior to that she had never expressed anything regarding gender. She had talked about not understanding a crush and not being attracted to anyone as other kids were starting to be. At 12 she said she thought she might be a *******. She is highly intelligent but has always struggled socially and emotionally, and as an only child she spent a lot of time alone during COVID. She did not have any friends to pod with or even talk to, so was mostly on screens, and it greatly disrupted her relation...

Our story now starts here as I found myself waking up in a room that seemed to resemble an abandoned hospital room. With me not really knowing where or how i had gotten there just as I looked over to seeing a photo on the table. A photo showing a girl that I seemingly had no memory of as i slowly got myself out of the hospital bed. As the feeling of something was waiting for me as I slowly walked around the room before finding a set of clothes. Just before making my way to the bathroom as I looked over to walk looking at a poster that was hanging there. As I looked to a poster of Flames of Desire on the wall as I read what was written on it “They win, you lose” As continued to make m...

I don't know if anyone is also feeling pretty hopeless about the planet these days, but I want to come on here and remind people that things appearing to be desolate doesn't mean there is no action to take!
