All you need to get published is a Silverado, some stickers, and someone with a first grade understanding of the English language. The review in this case comes after the publication.

Part of it is likely that she is a famous woman who is not known for being sexualized and is considered a public figure. No one wants to have the scientific standard be "I used pics of this girl I had a crush on" so I imagine famous people are good to pick from. I imagine Merkel also doesn't have a lot of bikini pics AI can draw from (some amount of swimming pics are unfortunately always available for public figures for some reason) so you can be sure it's generated them from nothing. If you used a famous model, there may be a possibility it is using pics of them to model their chest. If you're testing what it does with random inputs, using Merkel is probably a good option.

As far as the output being what was requested, I think the issue can vary depending on your view of AI so I am just going to leave that part unanswered because if it's a problem or not relies so much on your priors.

This has to be obvious bait. He's not upset he got old. He's upset Biden (and anyone else in that position) was too self important/addicted/stupid to recognize when it's time to step back and now we're all suffering for it. Also, Hitler dedicated himself to a career of public service. Not really sure that just being a politician or federal worker in general is worthy of praise. I have a list of public servants I'd much prefer not to have ever served. Weird bootlicking behavior you got going on.

That potentially just gives GameStop more money and unnecessarily adds tension to a holiday where a parent is just trying to make their kid happy. Fuck GameStop and all, but this parent was put in a bad position on purpose by someone who knew better and who ostensibly was being paid to help people like them out (post is fake obviously though). It's not their fault GameStop sucks, and it's not the kids fault either.

Really depends on your definition, but by most online consensus and generally by most definitions I've seen, a DM can indeed metagame. If you personally don't feel that way, that's fine, but a DM is considered a role player in my experience so the following definition holds: The act of a roleplayer making use of knowledge that they have learned out of character (and which their character does not know) while they are in character

If I have a random shopkeep tail the rogue of the party through the shop, even if their character does not give off rogue vibes, I'm being metagamey. I know they're going to try something so I use that to change the behavior of the shopkeeper. To me and to most other people according to a quick search, that's metagamey. You can feel differently, but I believe that puts you in the minority.

I saw the .nl and figured you might be unaware of applicable laws and might be concerned about her family being responsible. In reality if she has health insurance then the hospital is still getting paid probably enough to cover her care regardless of if her portion is paid. If not she'll likely be eligible for Medicaid seeing as her circumstances have changed and then taxpayers are footing the bill.

If she's poor it will just kind of disappear. This does not transfer to next of kin or anything.

Some keyboards allow you to map different keys to different things depending on certain settings. So for example you could make it so that if you press ctrl+esc+enter your keyboard knows that instead of typing in English, you want your keyboard to act as though it's a french keyboard. Some keyboards are made with this feature in mind and ship with lights that you can program to indicate which "layer" (keyboard setting) is currently active. So if you see a red light it's English and blue it's French. That's probably poorly explained and only a small example of how layers can be used, but in general it's just a preset layout that you can impose on your keyboard. The specifics of the layout are often up to you. If you're interested there's several companies out there making specialty keyboards and most have YouTube explanations if you google keyboard layers that are definitely clearer than my explanation.

Unironically, yes. Especially if you have a nice keyboard that allows layers.

I had something in there originally about "if she has one" but it felt charged, so I took it out. Hard agree though.

You're the one that brought up my age and what you perceived to be my life experience and then suggested I not judge people. I'm not making it about me. I'm making my position clear, since apparently it was not understood. I don't want there to be any confusion. Best of luck.

Totally understandable take. Definitely have had townspeople giving differing accounts of the beast they encountered in the woods so players aren't sure if it's a vampire or a ghost or werebeast etc so they're on their toes and keeping an eye out for anything (this is an oversimplification but you get the point).

I would never ask a player if they are averting their eyes unless I had reason to believe they would (like I said above maybe they were already warned). If they touch a poisoned object I'm not asking if their hand is gloved or if they're using a cloth. If they are doing something out of the ordinary I expect them to say as much unless it's already established that their character always wears gloves or something.

Setting the tone is important and also a good time to give them some information on the monster. If it can shoot spikes I might refer to the spikes as like the quills of a porcupine or something to try to telegraph that if it's bright enough and their skills are high enough to normally make that connection. If they misconstrue tone setting for actual information I generally do not correct them unless I think their PC would know better in which case I will sometimes outright correct them or have them roll for additional clarification. It's hard to know what their PC would actually be able to gather if they were a real person, so I try not to penalize them for what may at some point just be my failure to describe what they see as a DM.

Different play/DM styles are good though. Lets everyone find a table that's right for them.
