Insanely fluffy mascot for Oreo cookies

Don't have an exact prompt, went back and forth with DALL-E 3 asking for increasing fluff 🤣

Cool idea :-)

Amazing

Haha. Yours is super cool!

The other day I trolled DALL-E 3 by asking for ever larger robots. An earlier one in the series:

Rate it? Rate it what? 5/7?

Thank you. I didn't know about the Automix setting, and it's enabled by default

If all you consume is news and social media -- which have incentives to show the most extreme views, events, and content -- you're going to have a distorted picture of the world as a 100% awful, dangerous place.

But most of the time, in most parts of the world, most people are just living their lives. I live in the Portland, OR area and you would have thought by the news coverage of the 2020 George Floyd riots that the city was burning to the ground; in reality, the disruptions were limited to a few square blocks downtown. The majority of the city went on like usual.

There's a lot more nuance to things about the US, too, than those outside realize.

People do fight back, every day. Our courts are prosecuting Trump. The House Speaker loony you mention in the thread came about only after a long, drawn out debate; the Republican Party is incredibly divided and ineffectual right now. Roe vs. Wade fell, but many blue states strengthened protections. Mass shootings get a lot of press, but they affect a vanishingly small part of the population.

Obviously there are problems and not everything is fine. And we have to be vigilant. But this sentiment among people -- especially certain Europeans I've noticed -- that the US is just a pure dumpster fire is a wild exaggeration by people addicted to screen time.

That's why i first do https://archive.md/ then then readerview hehe

with Valve continuing to rapidly improve Proton, just about any Windows game runs on Linux now

I hope this is actually true, or becomes true. The only reason I'm on Windows is for gaming.

Heck even my Bitwig DAW runs on Linux.

I thought there's no way... when you boot up!? Sure enough. "the ad in question pops up when players boot up their Xbox"

Wow

Thank you. Long Covid is exactly what prompted me to create this post. I've been having symptoms for 15 weeks (insomnia, brain fog, exhaustion). My primary care doctor was useless.

I've since discovered a lot of literature on my own that has validated my experience: that it's typical for general doctors to have no clue, they're still working on finding good biomarkers for the condition (it's not easy to test for), and I've learned a bunch about PEM (post-exertional malaise) and self-pacing / energy-management techniques to prevent the push-crash cycle that people with Long Covid experience.
