@p_ch Yowza! Two more of my requests implemented last night. Thanks so much. The main thing I'm hoping for now is more complex masking. Subject, background, etc. Should I submit a request for this?

@p_ch Yeah I can't get it to download the model. It downloads to a point, gets stuck, starts again at zero, gets to a point, gets stuck, and eventually just stops.

@p_ch Got my agent to figure it out and download the model. Other users might not think to do that though. Next issue was a warning I was getting about "No ONNX Runtime library found", so I still couldn't make selections. Agent fixed that too. So I can make selections now!

I think we can all agree that slavery isn’t a vibe. I’ve been struggling with the Bible’s passages on slavery, where it seems to condone it and provide guidelines for both slave owners and slaves. Jesus himself even told us how to have slaves. I’m curious to know your thoughts?

I've asked this question more times than I can remember, and the answer I usually get is a "That was old testament" kind of answer. Jesus told us how to have slaves in the new testament, though, which means he was cool with humans owning other humans as slaves. So I'm stuck here.

(1/2) In the bible, God tells his people (Israelites) to go to war with the canaanites and take them out so that they can have their promised land. His orders are to kill everyone except the young virgin girls, who they can keep for themselves.

(2/2) Imagine you're having dinner with your family, and a soldier barges in and stabs you and your wife, kills your two babies, and grabs your 12 year old daughter (who's forced to marry him). And he does this because god not only told him to do so, but HOW to. Is this ok?

Even though "it's old testament", god still told us to do it once upon a time. Literally all kids are rebellious sooner or later. How is it that we can all agree that murdering kids isn't ok, but god can't? #christianity #deconstruction

The bible tells us that our children are evil if they disobey us or become rebellious, and that we are to stone them to death (Deut 21:18). How do we reconcile this with the fact that it's obviously not ok to do that, but god told us to?

So how do we reconcile this with what god says? (For the record - of course we don't give the kids hidings. I'm just trying to wrap my head around how god is telling us to do the thing that's clearly not the right thing to do.) #christianity #deconstruction #parenting #bible

I grew up with the yelling and spanking, and I was truly afraid of my mom. My actions were influenced by my fear of my mom, not my understanding of the natural consequences. Even after the spanking, I didn't truly understand, but was feeling fearful and unsafe.
106
This feels like a huge thing for me, because I'm a step-dad to 3 kids. Do we want the kids to alter their behaviour from really understanding the issue, or because they're afraid of getting yelled at or spanked? God says they should get spanked.

God tells us that "Whoever spares the rod hates their children". But loads of research shows that spanking kids causes depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and damages the trust and relationship between parents and children. How do we feel about this?

Man, I haven't really used twitter in years. Do I have any friends here? Can someone tell me all the things I should know? 🤣 Anyway, I spend a lot of time in my head, and I've had a few thoughts I'd like to have conversations about. Stoked!

@NickADobos I bought your stuff, and it doesn't work, my dude. It's been a couple of weeks since I reached out. Could you get back to me please?

@ToolboxProApp Hey Alex! I found a weird bug. If I try to pull a value from a dictionary in a Global Variable, the action only presents the keys to me if I choose the Variable first. If I even TAP the “value” field first, there’s no way to go back without starting again.

My tweet doesn’t properly explain it but that video does!
I've been on dark mode everything for a few months. Just switched to Light Mode because I couldn't see WTF I was looking at. Light mode is really pretty. Haha.

Don't make dumb decisions. We have modern medicine for a reason. This is what happens if you trust hollistic "medicine" more than actual medicine. It's not a prosthetic leg - it's a necrotic foot, attached to a bare bone. i.redd.it/vvt5bubq97d41.jpg

@ToolboxProApp Forgive my complete ignorance, but where do I find a list of the “names”of the icons you’re using? In the “quick menu” example - where are those icons coming from and how do I use them?

Nevermind - figured it out!
