This guy was a professional Disney animator but i'm wondering where you're getting this 60+ year old virgin stuff from? yes i know this post was made a year ago.

Why?

Follow this tutorial closely and it should all be ok. I had problems a couple of things, but I think that's because I dick about with my computer settings too much. If you follow this one, make sure to download 3.10.6 python, because it doesn't work on newer or older versions, surprisingly. And when installing python, make sure to check the box for adding a path variable. If you get stuck on a step make a post here and I or someone else might be able to help get it started. It isn't brilliant with human figures and faces, but for actual artwork I can see why all the web artists are frightened.

I can't stop making loosely inspired Gerhard Richter seascapes at the moment.It even gets the canvas effect right.

do not ever use software that
-is not a self-contained binary
-does not have a simple one click installer
-requires techbro youtuber faggots to explain how to install and use the thing


get a gui for stable diffusion. i personally use 'NMKD' because it takes care of installing stable diffusion and getting all the bullshit it needs, it does it all for you. but any gui or frontend for sd is better than nothing

when you eventually learn enough about how to run and generate images, next you will want to experiment with different models. go to https://civitai.com/ to find stuff


unrelated but here is an inpainting demonstration using nmkd. you select the area you want to replace, see what generates. when it doesn't look right you crank down the image influence and let it go wild and basically RNG something aesthetic. when you get something good, you can raise the influence just enough so the image remains visually constant but there is enough variation to allow you to see any possible improvements. when you find something good, you use that as your new starting image and adjust the mask to fix any areas that aren't good. you do this repeatedly until the whole is something you are ok with. this is my process at least

>>64716
Never use software that
-isn't FLOSS
-you don[t hage to compile for yourself
-requiresmyou to type ~/configure make make install
-has less than 15 dependencies
-doesn't require specific versions of some dependencies
-you can install without having to modify the makefile
-takes less than a day to compile with 4 processors
-doesn't throw warnings throughout compilation
-doesn't require rust
-doesn't require dbus
-doesn't require systemd
-comes with proper documentation

>>64719
FLOSS is cool but i like the unlicense better, all the rest of that is actual aids hell

The some parks here a full of crackhead

Don't blame the park.

SO much this

most people here dont need therapy or drugs they need people to invest in them, connection in community, access to resources, positive experiences to change brain up. what else said in this thread about it only being a money making industry and for profit of death, that's spot on. i would have had so much better of a life, if i hadn't been forced onto these heavy drugs early on in puberty. for no good reason either, a form of child abuse only. acted as puberty blockers, messed up hormones, brain development overall. then they got their claws into me again in my 20's and their drugs did a lot of damage. had i been left to figure it out on my own, i would have been profoundly better off. maybe a really good therapist that was invested in helping people and not just a job, but they are so rare as to not even exist.

my 20's and part of 30's disappeared to being on those substances which are there to keep you sedated and pacified and contented with your lot in life. they didn't make things better for me, they made my life a lot worse and took from me the energy and motivation i needed to be able to work on some things. it also was an easy excuse in that, the idea there is something wrong with the person instead of looking and admitting ok society did fuck up as a whole here, and didn't give this particular individual a fair shot. it's all more bullshit to justify 'meritocracy' while making money off the pain and misery of people.

I have a suspicion that treatments like hypnosis are probably better than many "traditional" therapeutic techniques.
Not because I think hypnosis is some magic cure all or has special properties, but simply because it's results focused and goal oriented, unlike far too many forms of psychological therapy.

>>61006
Be a child therapist kek

I find it alarming that people with sociopathy often find their way into careers at psychiatric hospitals. I find their position of authority to the public results in excessive usee of force that gives way to improper treatment regimens from excessive power, that include unwanted encounters, leucotomy, rape, beatinggs, notthing tredatmednt wise. I have concluded that terrorists often occupy wards as if it were wall street. With psyhs youu cry, with jews you lose. Never trust a ward or institutionaliization for thatt is exactly where the terrorism and genocide occur. Trolls not succubi with which to roll is a fundamental flaw with bad peers found here. If you need help, don't get committed. You get committed for your life being bullshit. Basically you get picks and cucks, not fucks and buckss when you are suicidal there. Use caution and probable techniques lie 4kcal, scaring, etc

I agree, its bullshit industry.

Lost 5 years listening to doctors and sitting in looney bins and noone got even close to my psychosys and alertness syndrome. Thank god they didnt prescribe me heavy drugs like to people itt but on the other hand nothing good happened too.

And Im still have to do this shit because of insane pressure from my parents(they think what doctors tell them). When I refused to take pills they went mad and thought Im in "crysis"(whatever it means) and threatened to put me into looney bin again.

Fuck this shit man.

I sometime wonder what historically-accurate Early Bronze Age Mesopotamian tabletop wargaming would be like.

Or even in video games, for that matter.

Does Settlers of Catan count? Probably not, right?

>>63254
Define wargame. At various times I have played 40k, Battletech, Flames of War, and Warmahordes. As a kid I played Panzer Blitz and some other Avalon Hill games.

I've been running some Chainmail battles with some guys.
It's fun!

>>65885
sounds legit to me

>>65728
I do the same thing, but I spend much of the time looking for a German manufactured equivalent. It is essentially the only nation I will buy anything from now, for so many reasons, primarily for quality. Often I am unable to find an equivalent, but delight in denying myself that product, knowing I am staying true to myself and the cosmos.

I hate it. I mean if I am looking for something very specific online shopping can make it easy, but it is so much more fun to browse a store and physically touch things. I can get a better idea for the specifications for an object than some stock image a chinese seller posted. The way some UI's are made are so atrocious, so bad and organizing and sorting, or you just end up going through pages and pages of these stock images. Its worse when its Amazon where they'll post them same item multiple times.

>>65858
ovens take heeps amount of electricity so air fryers are a very nice alternative, makes my tempura crispy.

NEVER buy clothes online wizzars, unless if it is a simple tee. The foreign measurements fool me again and again

Check out Bonsai. It's the whole point of it and it looks beautiful.

I think you're expecting too much out of gardening. Unless you have a shit ton of plants there's not really much to do.

>>67656
Vulgar normalfart. Plants are the only friend a druid needs, and one is often enough.

>>53529
ahh yes, the tidiness emits motivation and a mood of deep focus as well. Very comfy to sleep in a clean room.

>Why do mountain bicycles cost so much?
Are you asking or is that just the title to the video?

He's pretty good on the bicycle

>>64269
unfortunately it didn't take off
track bikes are pretty cool and i kind of wish i had one but i would literally never ride it. these look super cool though.

Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up? Or is the experience just the same with RWD (rear wheel drive AKA common bikes)

>>67775
>Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up?
Not really.
Recline bikes and other such bikes that sometimes have drive trains in the front are more about the advantages of the unusual ride position for comfort and lower drag, and being able to use different muscle groups that have more endurance at the expense of less sprinting power.

It anecdotally makes climbing harder. Especially if you have to balance.

If you are taking about e-bikes, it doesn't matter.

Some engineering advice for you:

(1) Don't try to over-abstract your code. Write what you need and if a pattern emerges frequently then you can write a general abstraction.

(2) Don't bother trying to optimize your code. Work on building the project you want and optimize when you run into performance issues.

(3) Avoid using every language feature. Every additional feature you use imposes complexity and increases the cognitive load of working with your software. This is also true of frameworks.

(4) Object orientated programming is mostly bullshit and will make your program into spaghetti. There is one exception though: encapsulation. Use classes as if they were related functions and state. This lets you build parts of your project as components that only have to focus on only thing. Avoid using every feature of OO programming if you want a program that's actually maintainable.

(5) You need to write tests to verify that your code works. At the very minimum you need tests to check that a feature you write can be used. Call this an 'integration test' if you will.

(6) There are some ways of solving problems that will only be suitable for toy apps and make it impossible to re-use in professional software. As a noob you won't know what these are but expect there to be a long learning curve.

(7) If you're trying to debug a highly complex error and you're drowning in complexity start adding assert statements everywhere. E.g. your function takes n. Assert n is within the range you expect. Assert all different variables for sanity checks. It can drastically reduce the amount of time you spend trying to guess what's wrong.

(8) Python packaging isn't great. If you want to make things easier on yourself try to avoid packages that have C dependencies (they need complication) and use only packages that use the standard library. Don't bother with Python 2 support. For building your own packages I recommend you just put all your source files in one folder with one init file. Trying to over-complicate how you organize your project will lead to you losing to complexity.

(9) You need to get serious about continuous integration across different OSes and versions if you want to release something to actual users.

Hey man, kind of in the same boat except I'm doing Ruby. If you want to become pro I'd try to use the best resources possible. They're probably books tbh. If you just jump around things on the internet you might not progress that much but a 400 page book is structured and edited for quality etc. You don't have to do it my way I'm just offering an opinion

>>66274
try leetcode and codeforce. This roadmap is organized in a way you learn techniques which you build up to solve more complexes problems. But the is a rule, after 30~60 minutes without solving yourself, read the solution and focus on similar problems which require that technique

a good post on wizchan? thats bullshit dont post here ever again

>>66259
this seems very helpful, thank you
