Un4, in We must resist

Tried it on chat gpt 4, here what it thinks:

This image is a collage that alternates between photos of Chihuahuas and blueberry muffins. The arrangement is such that it plays on the visual similarities between the two, with the muffins and parts of the Chihuahuas (likely their faces) mimicking each other in color and texture. This creates a humorous effect, as it can be initially challenging to differentiate between the muffins and the dogs.

Starting from the top left corner and moving left to right, row by row:

  1. Blueberry muffin with spots resembling a dog’s eyes and nose.
  2. Face of a Chihuahua with a similar coloration to the muffin.
  3. Blueberry muffin resembling the face of a Chihuahua.
  4. Chihuahua face with a light fur color matching the muffin’s surface.
  5. Chihuahua face with dark eyes and nose similar to blueberry spots.
  6. Muffin with a pattern that resembles a Chihuahua’s facial features.
  7. Chihuahua with an expression and coloring that echoes the appearance of a muffin.
  8. Muffin with blueberries and coloring that looks like a Chihuahua’s face.
  9. Chihuahua with a facial expression and fur colors that mimic a muffin’s texture.
  10. Muffin with blueberries mimicking the eyes and nose of a Chihuahua.
  11. Chihuahua with features that resemble the spots on a muffin.
  12. Muffin resembling a Chihuahua’s face in color and texture.
  13. Close-up of a Chihuahua’s face with colors similar to a blueberry muffin.
  14. Muffin with a pattern of blueberries resembling a Chihuahua’s face.
  15. Chihuahua looking directly at the camera, with fur colors like a muffin.
  16. Two Chihuahuas close together, with their heads resembling muffin tops.
Un4,

Conclusion it sometimes gets fooled :)

letsgo,

It’s likely seen the image before. Try randomising the image, reversing some of them, altering the gamma, and adding some noise. See how it does then.

Un4,

It did make errors, also the training of it is old it’s unlikely that it seen the images

When I first moved to L.A., you needed a prescription card to buy weed. I had zero experience with edibles. I was going on a flight, and my friend, who had a card, asked me if I wanted an edible for the flight. I said, what the hell. He asked me what strength and I said “the strongest.”

First of all, once it kicked in, all I could say to my wife as she drove me to the airport was, “I’m so high.”

Then I was on a something like eight-hour flight high off my ass, unable to stretch out or move or even do much. And this was pre-smartphone days, so I couldn’t even relax and watch a movie.

Do not do really strong edibles and fly commercially in the 2000s is what I’m saying.

rockSlayer, (edited )

Counterpoint, getting high and taking a commercial flight now is awesome. On my last flight, I had a few edibles before boarding and watched interstellar during the flight. As they were landing on the first planet, the plane hit some turbulence. 10/10 most immersive experience ever

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I did specify that you shouldn’t do it if it’s the 2000s.

rockSlayer,

Fair point. When the unix epoch happens and the world is returned to 1970, I’ll keep it in mind for that flight in 44 years

ouRKaoS,

Technically, it’s the 2000’s for another 977 years.

Bearbi3,

We are technically still in the 2000s 😝

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Don’t do really strong edibles and do pretty much anything that requires any kind of commitment.

You have to move? No. You have to not move? Forget about it. You need to focus? Good luck. You need to not focus on a specific thing? Impossible.

Xartle,

I’m with you! I did the same thing before a flight to Australia. Ate it before security thinking I’d get on the plane and fall asleep. Of course the flight was delayed and I was way higher than I meant to be so I sat in a chair staring at the gate for a couple hours so I didn’t miss the plane. It’s hard to get edibles right…

    You’d think that, but it doesn’t seem to, or if it does, the separation isn’t noticable.

    manuallybreathing,

    ever had an ice cream float? it’ll probably be fine. there must also only be a splash of pepsi in that glass judging by the colour.

    it certainly isnt going to turn fresh milk rancid, I guess would could mean curdle. 🥛

    First and most especially the single most important factor: b/c I thought it sounded cool. 😎

    Second, I googled "what does Zaddy mean" - oh wait that was earlier in the day, cough, I mean I googled "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", found that it was first aired in 1939, and so put that.

    Third, it is a popular meme format.

    But mostly b/c it sounded cool (yet is accurate).

    fury, in Bankruptcy is lifesaving

    I got talked into bankruptcy (by a bankruptcy lawyer, surprise surprise). It cleared $12k of credit cards and bank fees but not the then-$50k of student loans and the spending habits that were the real problem. Now I learned my lesson. No credit cards. Save up and pay. Have an emergency fund that can cover your expenses for months and months in the event you lose your job, or your most expensive unplanned repair. That’s the real life saver.

    spaphy,

    How has bankruptcy affected you when you’ve gone to apply for things? Has there been any real long term effects when you apply for like a house or car loan?

    figaro,

    After 7 years the bankruptcy disappears from your credit report. After that it’s like it didn’t happen.

    fury,

    I was able to get a car loan a few years after the bankruptcy. It was dumb, I hadn’t fully figured out my money situation yet. Bankruptcy didn’t fix that spending habit. But that was the tipping point. When my minimum expenses between the car, student loans, and living expenses exactly equaled my salary, I started trying to beat my way out of the mess. The car I currently own, I paid for up front. By the time I bought a house, the bankruptcy had disappeared off my report. Now the plan is pay off the mortgage and never have a credit score again.

    TheGalacticVoid,

    Bankruptcies fall off your credit report after 7 years. I think the only thing you are blacklisted from after that 7 year period is the bank that credited you and lost money.

    GaMEChld,

    Credit cards are fine for people who can control their spending. I never pay interest, so I get my rewards for free and am building my credit. If you cannot control your spending habits, you might consider a card with a low limit.

    SeabassDan,

    You mean you never pay interest by paying off the debt before the next billing cycle, right? Or is it fine to get zero interest for whatever amount of months on certain purchases?

    Jimmyeatsausage,

    We do both… both are fine. As long as you aren’t paying fees or interest, there is no disadvantage to using credit cards.

    SeabassDan,

    Ah, okay, I always figured the only way to really be responsible with credit was to use credit cards like debit, but if a big purchase came along that I definitely couldn’t pay off within the month, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have zero interest but wasn’t sure of the impact on my credit.

    JDubbleu,

    As long as you have the discipline to actually pay the thing off it’s fine. Many people think, “oh I have 0% interest, I’ll pay it off later” but never set aside the money to do so and end up accruing interest.

    I never buy something on them I couldn’t immediately pay off in full when I hit buy. I’ve bought things in excess of my checking balance, but that’s because I had enough in savings (separate from my emergency fund), and my incoming paycheck would put my checking balance well above my credit card balance.

    MrScottyTay,

    That is pretty much the right way to do credit. Treat like debit and/or find a way to have 0% interest over a few months time to spread a big cost across multiple months where it becomes affordable.

    SeabassDan,

    My concern is the impact on my credit from not paying back in full, even if there’s zero interest for an extended period of time. Like paying an appliance in 3 months with no interest versus the full balance before the next billing cycle. I just assume there’s a downside to having that convenience aside from them hoping I’ll fall behind.

    JDubbleu,

    Short term credit balances like appliances paid off over 3 months don’t affect your credit for very long. As soon as they are paid off and the balance falls off your credit report your score will rebound. It’s not worth stressing about.

    jasondj, (edited )

    That’s more or less the right way.

    Use credit cards for everything for an automatic minimum 2% discount on all purchases (in the form of cashback or rewards depending on how you value them, and more if you optimize category spending…I.e. you have a certain card you use for gas or groceries or eating out because that card has the best rewards for that category). Enjoy sign up bonuses if you can responsibly make the spend requirement. Always pay off statement balance and never close accounts (downgrade/product-change to free cards if the benefits aren’t more valuable than the annual fee).

    And enjoy 0% offers but never slip on payment because that’s how they get you. If it’s not paid in full in time or a payment is late they will charge you backdated interest. 0% financing is free money if you can afford it (and can use it) at this inflation rate. I’d been on the fence about replacing my aging appliances but 0% for 24 mos made that a no-brainer. I could afford to have bought those appliances with cash (it’d sting but it’d be doable), but I’d much rather keep that few grand in a CD or bond or mutual fund and pay a 23rd of the balance every month, making me money instead of the bank.

    SeabassDan,

    You lost me a little with that last part, I’m assuming that’s more about investing, but I can understand weighing the options between an annual fee and rewards.

    GaMEChld,

    Personally, I pay off before next billing cycle. However, I have been fortunate with my finances. I know friends of mine who carry credit card debt, and they have successfully managed to balance transfer from one card to another using periodic balance transfer deals that let you transfer all your debt from one credit card to another with a 0% interest rate for 12 months or so. They have managed to do this for years.

    So there are definitely a variety of options!

    toastal,

    I used to feel this way with 2% cash back, but I don’t think it’s worth the privacy loss of giving a for-profit corporation all of my spending data. Where I live now, almost no one accepts credit cards in person & if they do, there’s a high minimum payment & you will be paying the transaction fee. After getting used to carrying cash again, I can confidently say I prefer the anonymity. What weirder in hindsight is many other places either not accepting cash or baking the credit fees into the prices so it’s cash payers getting screwed—meanwhile the credit companies get to skim fixed costs while providing minimal value.

    GaMEChld,

    Yes, you definitely need to be vigilant these days about the fees. A lot of places are passing the costs to customers or offering lower prices for cash and debit.

    In France after high school you pay 170€ the first 3 years the 243€ the next two, 100€ more each year if you don’t have aides from the government. Some engineering schools (~600€) or private schools are more expensive.

    That’s a total of 1496€ for a 5y curriculum at most, if you don’t have any aides. (810€ for a shorter 3y one)

    For reference the monthly minimum wage is 1398.69€ (without tax).

    So if you work two months at McDonald’s you can literally pay your entire education with enough room to spare if you didn’t pass some years.

    (Engineering schools is more but it isn’t crazy either)

    That’s without any help, but we have some cheap apartment specifically for students, help to pay the rent. And in addition to this you can get a sizable amount depending on the income of the parents, sometimes enough to live on.

    So why in the hell would you pay 50k. That’s 33 times as much, guys just come to France, or the EU and your set lol

    JPAKx4,

    Around 3-5% is spent on textbooks alone

    Mirshe,

    Room and board can be as much as another 20% depending on where you go.

    Funkytom467, (edited )
    @Funkytom467@lemmy.world avatar

    Your textbook is enough to pay for all of our education.

    Did no one thought about having a library for that lmao.

    P.S. Or more seriously on putting the material online.

    Zink,

    I’m sure some people thought of it. But then everybody else thought “wait, but money!”

    Evotech,

    The real cost is in living expenses though. A lot of kids still end up with 20-40k of loans after 3-5 years in school living on their own.

    Funkytom467,
    @Funkytom467@lemmy.world avatar

    Sure, most people i know either have parents to help them, including some fund they made them, or get the aides for students (including cheaper and small apartment, help to pay the rent, cheap meal at campus and scholarship). Some have a mix of both like me.

    It’s often a bit short anyway, it isn’t luxurious, but we deal with it, i never met someone that took a loan as a solution though.

    PraiseTheSoup,

    But we still have living expenses in the US too, on top of the outrageous tuition costs. My bachelor’s degree cost $58,000 but during those 4 years I also worked two jobs just to pay for rent and food and keep my car working. I’ve been out of college for over 10 years btw and still owe $40k in student loans.

    pankkake,
    @pankkake@lemmy.world avatar

    Everything you’ve said only stands for public university (which is better than private schools however). In the private world, you’re looking at ~10000€ a year.

    So why in the hell would you pay 50k. That’s 33 times as much, guys just come to France

    I believe it’s more expensive for foreigners to study in France now. You’re looking at ~3000€ per year IIRC.

    Funkytom467,
    @Funkytom467@lemmy.world avatar

    Ho yes you’re right!

    It used to be the same but they increased it in 2019. They passed a reform with a lot of changes to the whole education system (including high school which add a lot of changes).

    The reform was pretty bad for a lots of reasons.

    Should have thought of it, every university went on strikes for it, including mine (I was just on year 1).

    They passed it anyway…

    So yes now its 2770€ for the first 3y and 3770€ the next 2. Granted that’s still cheaper, 15,850€ total but that’s only 3 times more expensive, not as crazy.

    P.S. Private school can be good especially in some fields, but they’re also a bit prestigious too. And 10k is a pretty good approximate i believe.

    Yes, but its fraud in a system designed at every level to defraud you, so fuck um. Get healthy in any way you can because the system itself sure won’t help you.

    They screw you, you screw them is the American way, so bravo for the lawyer for being honest about the game.

    Catsrules,

    It is all fun and games until the repo man comes to rip those knee replacements out.

    ours,

    In my country that isn’t a thing. Everybody has to have private insurance and if they can’t afford it, the State subsidizes it.

    And if somehow you get something done that isn’t covered by the insurance, they can’t pursue you for that debt and it doesn’t show up when doing things like getting a lease.

    It’s not perfect (insurance costs a ton and keeps rising) but at least it’s not some dystopian nightmare where people can’t afford to get care in one of the World’s top economies.
