Fuck. Foiled again.

I own so many step ladders my guy, why don’t you get on your knees and say that to my face!

Get on my level…even if it means you gotta bend over. :D

I’m rolling dude! haha

Oh, you’re short. Now your attitude and comments make perfect sense.

Joe Rogan is also short, so this clocks. It always comes back to getting no bitches in highschool. Disco Elysium baby!

Love it. “Retard”, off limits. But we’ll do “bitches” just fine, lol… I swear it’s 🤡🤡🤡 all the way down.

Yeah, because it’s hilarious and takes the edge out of the day. It’s funny when I’ve just spent 15 minutes trying to find something, but didn’t see it because it was up too high.

If everyone had to be considerate of every persons views, nobody would write anything. Nobody would be allowed to have opinions.

The world isn’t all sunshine and flowers, buttercup. I’ll continue to be imperfect, and use the words to describe what I want. If you want to get your blood pressure up, and get huffy about it, that’s your prerogative.

They stopped using that word because it wasn’t descriptive. The same reason they stopped diagnosing women as “hysterical”. That’s the cool thing about the sciences; they evolve and change over time to be more descriptive, not less.

And now, we use the word hysterical to describe certain things…kinda cool how that works, right? When I call something hysterical (extremely funny) - people don’t get offended and say I’m using a slur.

Or when someone is losing their shit, you say they’re acting hysterical. It’s become a descriptor.

It has nothing to do with empathy. This is upper-class college white girl shit, where people get offended on behalf of a class they don’t belong to and which the people who they are offended on behalf of don’t really give a shit.

You pretend to be offended so you can signal to others that you are virtuous.

“Retarded” isn’t a medical definition under IDC-11, so they aren’t retarded, as the medical definitions have changed.

Also Retarded has another standard definition – Being held back or stunted of which applies here.

Yeah. Retards are retards. People with downs syndrome are people with downs syndrome, glad we agree.

I don’t know about you, but calling someone less intelligent IS an insult. Doesn’t matter what you name it.

That’s the point of insults you know.

Nobody’s “associating” anything. Nobody who’s calling someone retarded has any thoughts in their head about people with the mental disorder. If you called them a downie, then you would probably have a point; as it’s specifically worded to relate to downs syndrome.

But “retard” has come to be an amplification of the word “idiot”. It’s like the words big, bigger, biggest.

It’s the “biggest” of “idiot”.

So if I’m gonna call someone an idiot, my levels of idiot are: Idiot, Dumb-ass, and Retard. I’m just calling them the word that corresponds to being a gargantuan idiot. You can’t use “gargantuan” because they don’t even know what the words mean; so you use retard.

Well that’s retarded. If some idiot slams on their gas and flips their car 5x because they did something stupid, I’m not gonna say “wow, that person’s a developmentally disabled!”… I’m gonna say they’re a retard.

Retard isn’t used any more to talk about people with developmental problems. It’s meant to talk about people who do exceptionally idiotic things like the example above.

This didn’t really read like AI slop; and I feel like people are having a psychological break on everything related to AI now.

I have gone on to prove in various forums many times that misspellings – aren’t AI slop. Aren’t proof that AI is writing things, etc.

But still it happens. When the wrong grammar or verbiage is used (but context is clearly kept), people jump to “BOT!” – without realizing that AI doesn’t make those mistakes.

I’m calling it AIDS. AI-Derangement Syndrome. Y’all m’fers have AIDS.

Does anyone have good recommendations for someone who seems unable to gain any proficiency at drawing?

Practice. Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice.

You’re going to suck. It’s okay to suck. You only get better through failure. Drawing and art is a skill that you develop over time like training a muscle. Don’t throw away your old stuff. Keep it. Look at it, decide on something you don’t like - then focus on doing that better the next time. Repeat. Draw. Like…draw a LOT. Like a LOT A LOT. Draw anything. Try different styles.

The biggest thing to remember is you’re going to suck. Everyone sucks. The people who don’t suck, are people who kept at something long enough to not suck. Remember also – you are going to be far more critical of your art and the mistakes you made vs others. Don’t get discouraged - especially if you post that shit on the internet. Someone will tell you it’s terrible and you’ll get discouraged. Surround yourself with people who will lift you up and encourage you.

Procreate on an old iPad 6 + Apple Pencil is what I did for my daughters and they both are so much better at drawing now than they ever were - so you just have to keep doing it.

The biggest misconception that people have is that you’re just born with this talent - those people weren’t born with the ability to make great art, they were born with the ENTHUSIASM to do it every day, constantly, as an obsession. And then they developed a SKILL, based on that enthusiasm.

And again - if you put those behind a fail2ban; and you 404 5x in an hour, which is likely - you’ve solved that issue. Had my jellyfin instance publicly available for 2 years on its own VM with passthrough GPU, and haven’t had any issues. People poke around quite often, and get blackholed via the firewall for 30d.

It wouldn’t stop a dedicated attacker, but I doubt anyone’s threat model here is that intense. Most compromised servers happen from automated attacks probing for vulnerabilities in order to get RCE; not probing for what movies you have – Because having movies on a media server doesn’t prove that you didn’t rip them all off of blu-ray…it just means you have movies.

You’re not going to have 100% privacy when you put up ANY service on your network. Everything leaves a trace somehow; but I’m starting to think half of you are Chinese spies or something with the amount of paranoia people here show sometimes. :P

Yeah, this whole thread feels like a “but I can’t do that, work around it for me”

Do. And make sure your logs are piped through fail2ban.

All of these “vulnerabilities”, require already having knowledge of the ItemIDs, and anyone without it poking around will get banned.

The rest of them require a user be authenticated, but allows horizontal information gathering. These are not RCEs or anything serious. The ones which allowed cross-user information editing have been fixed.

Depends if they sold, where they sold, and a bunch of other factors.
