I am not a tattoo expert, I just happen to be aware of this optical illusion and the movement looked similar, example here: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/nstvwu/eli5_how_does_this_optical_illusion_work/

Basically if you have contrasting colors against each other they're processed at different speeds in your brain. His skin is lighter than the tattoo's relatively dark color/outline and I think it's enough to cause the illusion because that area of his pec is shaved and the rest isn't.

And it probably wouldn't happen in real life because up close you'd see enough detail/imperfection in his skin to break the illusion.

It's a thinker.

Posting this from my phone, installed perplexity comet browser earlier, once it opened I could only connect to Google sites, uninstalled and restarted to try to fix the issue, now Firefox can't connect to anything outside my local network.

Please I'm losing my mind looking for it, it's so good, I want to listen to it.

Thanks chat.

The difference between an AI boyfriend and a real boyfriend, is when your boyfriend has a thought he doesn't need you to press enter to share it.

That's the difference. LLMs have no agency to act on their own, at all. Even Agentic AI cannot just do things without initial input after creation. The average human being, probably 99.9999%, will act on their own once born. LLMs cannot do that. You don't have to talk about consciousness or anything else beyond that point, because the ability to act on ones own is a direct prerequisite for it.

Fuck ice.

Back in 2022 I got Wubby's HUGE Package (The MetaZoo collab lol).

I'm gonna be moving in the near future and am trying to get rid of stuff I don't need. I'm gonna keep the t-shirt and one of the goblin cards for posterity, but I have a bunch of sealed MetaZoo product that I just do not care about.

Anybody want it?

Picture here.

I've got a 3D health bar constructed from 2 progress bars in a subviewport used as the texture in a sprite. The top bar is that "actual" health bar, the "under" bar is to show damage done. So when the entity is hit, health immediately goes to new value, but the bottom bar tweens to the new value.

But for some reason when the next hit occurs, the health updates normally, but the under bar goes back up to max value then tweens to the new value. Don't know why it's jumping up to max value each time (vs starting at the "current" value).

I know next to nothing about this stuff so hoping someone can shed some light.

I had 1 EC2 instance (linux t2.micro) to run a game server on, worked fine, cost around $10/mo.

I duplicated the EC2 instance using an image, and now my billing/cost estimator is estimating ~$30/mo, $7 of which is for VPC, and that's where I'm lost. Trying to figure out why costs would triple instead of double, and what exactly VPC is and whether or not I need it. And/or, am I missing an easy way to reduce spend.

Far from a dire need, if I have to spend $30/mo it's not the end of the world, just trying to get my ducks in a row.

First off, grid stream is some of my favorite content, and I don't even like counterstrike.

That said, suggestion for major improvement for playability and content:

1. Make the grid aligned to the center of the screen so that instead of 1 square fucking the whole thing, it's 4 squares whose corners align to the grid.
2. Make picking the center 4 at the same time not allowed otherwise that's the first thing everyone does.
3. Make them non-permanent only squares so we keep getting content.
4. Bring down the full clear price or make a "clear center 4" option so we don't just get stuck with nothing going on

IMO this becomes a fight for the middle situation, and while many peop
