In general you cannot consent in being assassinated, and even in place where euthanasia/assisted suicide is legal, there is still a strict process to make-it cleanly rather than cutting down a person in piece

Note that in some case, it’s possible to get an earlier check-in. For ordinary customer it might be a paying service, for corporate customer and member of loyalty program it may be a complementary service. Just give a call to the hotel. Same applies to late check-out it’s sometimes possible to check-out at 14 or even 16.

Need to choose one, so here is it

A cute gay lemming, wears a space suit, on the dancefloor in a night club, neon colour, pride flag on the suit generated with SDVN7-NijiStyleXL

So, I started by trying 2-3 models and went for SDVN7-NijiStyle XL giving a cute lemming astronaut https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/e6f023a7-a6d9-45a7-953e-ab9d050b7946.jpeg

Great, but that the cute guy missed the unexpected aspect, also I wanted to get some fun neon colour

so I went for the night club and added neon colour, got this one which was kinda neat

But the neon colour made me think about the rainbow flag colour, so I tried to get a pride flag on the image, put the US in negative prompt, and generated a lot of cool images.

Here is one with a flying flag

Here the whole suit is rainbow coloured, but the ears seems to pass through the helmet

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/956dfec3-20b3-47b3-8089-4dcef7038a7f.png

That one is pretty neat, has all the needed colour but no clear flag

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/bb390b63-9d4d-41c1-a956-2d1e7d762a09.png

So at a point I had to choose one.

How do you get so much great ideas ? No wonder why you win half of the challenges :)

Off topic,

I now remember about this photographer who has done an “every day astronaut” serie www.flickr.com/photos/timdoddphoto/…/14668530737yes flickr, do you enjoy feeling 10 years younger ?

I am sometimes worried about my memory who has no problem remembering 10 year old random internet stuff :)

So to give my answers from the other thread.

The space between us this has been published during covid as a “larp through webcam” and it was super intense emotionally speaking, I am not going to give any spoiler, but the fact that it started slowly with workshop, and not much happening really helped when the tension started to rise, and the ending was just Waw, don’t forget some tissues, because ninja will be cutting onion

In the same category, with a lot of bleed, the famous Alice is missing which is somehow a hybrid betqween boargaming and TTRPG. The theme isn’t easy (A kid has gone missing), but it’s the theme which trigger a lot of bleed, add the playlist which will put me back in the ambiance if I listen to it again. and again, expect some Ninja to cut onions in the background

I don’t think that an english translation is available but anyway, let me say a couple of word about Shadow island a parlour larp in a lovecratian ambiance, about a disfunctional family making a yearly silent dinner, to commemorate the death of “patriarch”. Expect long character sheet (mine was around 40 pages, only background as there is almost no rules), an afternoon of workshop before the game starts, and the whole “silent dinner” concept creates a feeling of weirdness long before the “supernatural” kicks in. Do not read it if you don’t intend to play it and if it’s run near you, just join.

Indeed, when PvP is well done, it can lead to pretty amazing memories, the stakes aren’t the same as the player aren’t trying to let you win. So even though many people would call it a “red flag” it can also be a huge “green flag” and looks like that table was ready for it.

But you’re right, having a short discussion about PvP and betrayal in session zero is worth it. Remember that even something as small as the cliché elves and dwarves teasing each other is a form of PvPcan end-up in a nightmare with the wrong player, while a full traitor within the PC but playing in a “play to lift” Mood can lead to some of the greatest experience.

Thanks for the comment, now I want to discuss the PvP option before my next campaign session zero.

TIL that Rolls Roys is doing SMR.

I am pretty curious on how this new trend of SMR will evolve in 20 years, I can see how it can be simpler and faster to build than full scale plant. However, I am not sure you’d save by multiplying the NIMBY to deal with and the whole support staff.

I am curious on how school can skip the whole gender identity part considering how central it is in social science and life-science.

i like the idea in saying that boys and girls are the same and that it doesn’t impact who they are more than having blonde hair or large feets. However, if you through art/litterature/history you can quickly find out that men and women aren’t treated the same. If you to basic biology, you come to some “difference between boys and girls”, and may want to discuss which of these difference are biology, and which one are sociology.

Then, it’s not like LGBT and intersex individual are novelty, and that kids won’t ask question about them (selves). So again something pretty hard to skip. To take medieval history, I don’t know how much British kid know about the “acursed king” and the 100 years war, but Edward II being more sexually interested in Lord Despenser than in his wife Isabel the she wolf from France played a big role in these historical sequence of events

Félicitation,

J’éspère que l’opération se passera bien. Tu nous racontera si c’est comme les vidéos où on voit les gens pleurer de joie lorsqu’on leur allume leur impant ou si en pratique c’est pas si magique.

a tienne est connecté, la mienne non.

Non attend, ils ont osé ? Laisse moi deviner, il y a une caméra qui permet d’inspecter l’éfficacité de ton nettoyage et faire tourner un algo qui detecte les grains de beautés suspect ? Puis collecte toutes les data pour entrainer des IA pour adulte au passage ?

Si quelqu’un veut lancer une start-up :) car ça se vendrait je parie

have you played that game where everyone write a subjet and put it on a stack of paper, then everyone puts a verb on a different stack of paper, then everyone put an object on a third stack of paper, and you can even add a place or whatever on the next stack of paper. You end-up with fun sentences like A cat eat Kevin’s brain on the beach. It’s the kind of stuff (pre-)teen do to have a good laugh.

Chat GPT somehow works the same way, except that instead of having 10 paper in 5 stack, it has millions of paper in thousands of stack and depending on the “context” will choose which stack it draws paper from (To take an ELI5 analogy)

Je sais bien que certain·e·s n’aiment pas les faits divers mais là, un double meurtre de gardien de prisons c’est au delà de Mme Monique qui a empoisonné la soupe de son maris.

Puis, ça fait un lien avec le thread sur le poids dur Narco traffic, j’ai du mal à imaginer qu’il n’y avait pas une taupe qui a vendu la vie de ses collègues

J’en profite pour faire un lien sur cette question sur !nostupidquestions sh.itjust.works/post/19281004 car je trouve qu’on devrait plus parler de la corruption en politique européenne et ne pas oublier ce problème à quelques semaines des elections

C’est cool que ça serve au moins à un chercheur, c’est dommage que rien n’ait été vraiment discuté par la classe politique.

Je dis pas que je suis d’accord avec toutes les revendications de la classe politique, je suis ni fan de baisser les impots des retraité ni de dérégulariser le travail des enfants, mais il faut entendre la detresse de ces familles.

Sur Lemmy, on est nombreux à être dans la catégorie bobo/gauche caviar, et a ne pas savoir (ou avoir oublié) ce que c’est ce que de regarder son relevé de compte avec angoisse, et d’avoir un travail qui nique le corp. C’est important de se rappeler qu’il faut concilier fin du monde et fin du mois, et que l’inclusion ça concerne aussi la classe ouvrière.
