I swear 25% of our user base is Linux SysAdmins.

That's impossible, as it would mean 25% of our user base is also furry. Wait a second...

Well spotted

I remember we had a lot of fun with Benzene and Benzoates in university, but suspiciously I can't remember details. Hmmm

At this point, I honestly expected it to have been moved to some European country... I mean, what site? Never heard of it.

Also, Lady Marian

The medieval monks literally made up an entire subspecies of humans with dog heads which they actually believed to be real!

Bad example, brother.

Which is the problem with completely open ended language, which is always used in such bills so as to only apply to whoever they want to persecute.

"Nuuuuu-uuuuuh! Light nobels dun count! I'm pooping my poopy pants!!!1!"

The biggest thing I can think of is the veneration of and praying to saints.

Which, ironically, is a core part of Abrahamic religions which was abandoned by Protestantism. I.e. Catholicism didn't add minor gods, Protestantism removed them.

Fun fact: the "-el" at the end of all angel names (except Lucifer and Satan, I guess) means "god". Not as in "from god", but as in "the god of-".

Catholicism may be different enough to be considered a separate religion

I believe what you mean to say is that Protestant sects would be considered a separate religion, as Catholicism far predates other sects.

If anything Catholicism is much more traditionally Christian, as it's the stablished status quo outside of the anglosphere.

You just do it.

Japanese literature

You mean generic isekai #38487?

Have you read the books in Skyrim (or previous TES titles)? There's some pretty good stories.

Which is a meaningless nonstatement.

He's right, though - unless there are real legal repercussions or it's an impossible task, just say "yes". Worst case scenario, you'll do a bad job of it and whoever requested your service won't do it anymore.

That is precisely it. Generative AI is a tool, just like a digital canvas over a physical canvas, just like a canvas over a cave wall. As it has always been, the ones best prepared to adapt to this new tool are the artists. Instead of fighting the tool, we need to learn how to best use it. No AI, short of a true General Intelligence, will ever be able to make the decisions inherent to illustration, but it can get you close enough to the final vision so as to skip the labor intensive part.

No, manga does not count.

"Nuuuuh, the most diverse medium with the wildest stories doesn't count!! I'll poopy my pants if you count it"

That's why I specifically mentioned weak adhesive patches, which are usually made with simpler processes or even organic sources.
