My spouse yelled at me after she showed me too many AI videos, and I would watch it and 1) if it’s under 15 seconds, 2) too good to be true, 3) has unrealistic physics, and/or 4) has AI artifacts, I wouldn’t enjoy the video, and just say “yeah, that’s AI.”
She just wants to enjoy the videos, and didn’t care if staged or AI or what. She likes the concept of what’s on the video. AI takes that away from me, and not her, apparently.
I hate saying it like this, but this kind of thing reminded me: every 5-10 years take a legit amazing, wonderful photo of yourself. A for real glamor shot. Dressed awesome, good lighting, lovely background. Make the effort.
Not only for your funeral, but if you get killed in a public fascist escalation and every news outlet news needs something to run, give them something beautiful to define your life.
Now let’s all go have a cry real fast.

No, that’s the point. I hadn’t eaten since lunch, so all i have is wine, maybe a touch of bile, and poop.
It’s cool, it’s keto.
Incorrect. I only have poop and wine inside me.

The Why
Arsenic and mercury, both commonly occurring metals present in rocks, can kill humans immediately. Especially if vaporized. Uranium can kill and disable quickly in high enough concentrations.
Also, keep in mind it’s a plot device about a fictional flying space alien with laser eyes. It doesn’t need to follow the laws of physics.
Vape? Yo, unless you smoke your shit out of a bong made from a plastic T-Rex toy, it’s not legit.
Uh…wut?

I’m not being passive at all.
First off, the remark about French and 92 is a jab at French in particular. No other romance language for some reason stalls out at 70 and cobbles together the 80s and 90s. There is a modern word, IIRC “neufant” or something that’s closer to “nine tens.”
To your point, base 10 counting, which we use because of how many fingers our species has. Whether we use base 8, 10, 12, etc. counting, the fact remains that all counting uses incremental increases like base 10.
9 rolls over to 1 unit in the 10s column. 19 rolls over to 2 units in the 10s column.
So if we say “4 x 20” instead of 80, were suddenly creating a second, nested, base 20 counting system (confusingly, using base 10 numbers!) within our usual base 10 system. So it’s the same in the sense that we are using numbers in general, but different in that it anchors the counting base in a weird way.
Let’s say I run a restaraunt and make omlettes. I can make a 2 egg, 3 egg, or 4 egg omlette for you. But the 4 egg omlette is tiny. Why? Because for the 4 egg omlette I use quail eggs. But only for the 4 and 5 egg omlettes. Order a 6 egg omlette and you’re getting a half dozen chicken eggs in some 100 square meter omlette. Multiples of 4 and 5, always quail eggs. It’s sort of like that.
Congratulations. You’ve just discovered how base 10 counting works.
It’s a Google Translate issue. It says some version of prst nogi/noši for every Slavic language.
Ok, so Albanian and Greek are the outliers here. Albanian is its own language group.
Though, to be fair to Greek, the word is for toe and finger is δάχτυλο. Dachtylo. Which is kind of like “digit.” Even in Koine Greek. Also, arm and hand are the same word, and leg and foot are the same word.
My Greek isn’t good enough to say for sure, but a pre-Google language manuals call both finger and toe dachtylo. Then specify hand or foot. Or…specify arm or leg? Arm digit? Leg digit?
Greece should be a grey “N/A”
The same language where ninety-two is “four twenties and a twelve”?
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking as well, with the comparison to hand drawn animation. Honestly, I’m not sure, but I expect that would not hit quite the same way. Claymation…maybe the same, actually. It might also be just no glasses scrolling and quick reactions without discernment.
I’ve explained how to recognize AI videos, and she knows how to ID most (I hope), and I have noticed that she shows me fewer AI clips now. Not none, but fewer. I think she knows I don’t like them, and doesn’t want me too be the killjoy.
I even made a clip in Sora of our cat doing stuff, as an olive branch. I think that sort of made the point you were making about the friend getting an award.
