I have been in SW Florida for 2 months and I really don’t recall there being any “rain” days. Tonight, there’s a good amount of rain and a thunderstorm, too!
The one I really enjoyed was the one where the instructor (that’s my guess) appeared to fall forward into a push-up then bounced up and into a squat. The “hell no, that’s not happening!” look on the woman’s face that was standing behind her as she shakes her head left to right said it all!
Would you kindly share your thoughts on profiles that are predominantly comprised of AI generated images? The reason I ask is that there has been a referral to the Evaluation Panel for the deletion of Evlin303. I believe I have an understanding of your tolerance toward members that post internet pics so it would be great to have an understanding of what your opinion is with regard to AI generated images. Thank you.
The images appear to be real as i used a ceiling light fixture to compare images on several. The videos,appear to be AI for sure, using info from stills found in earlier postings. NO way those things would fit in that woman and she maintain that smile.
This site was created for people to post their own images and videos. I am ONLY tolerant of internet images because, if I weren't, many members would end up reporting each other over memes and tributes. Most people here cannot (or pretend they cannot) understand the difference between those and third-party porn taken from internet. I know this from experience - I've tried explaining fair use concept many times with little success. Therefore, I must tolerate internet images, as long as a member doesn't make a habit of posting them predominantly or pretend they are personal.
The same reasoning largely applies to AI content. I cannot forbid it completely because people might use AI-generated memes or apply fantasy-style modifications to their own photos and videos. That is a form of art, so a complete ban isn't feasible. However, if I see an account that predominantly posts AI images completely unrelated to their own, I will delete it.
That said, I barely look at the uploads on this site. I built it for you - the members, so you can collectively decide what kind of content belongs here. Please stop asking for my opinion and using it as an argument against other members.
I think that there should be zero tolerance for Internet or AI photos or videos for free theme image contests. If I saw one that was obviously not the contestant I would ask the creator of the contest to consider this for deletion from his or her contest.
I agree. I think I have three or four photos in my profile that were enhanced or created for me by Vita and moeJoe and in all of them I credited them for their artwork. I have never posted an Internet photo that I alleged to be me or my friends. I just don't think this is the place for it. Maybe I'm just a purist (without really awesome Photoshopping skills).
Well the older i get the grouchier I get during the holidays.
All this hopping around smiling and dancing and spending small fortunes on useless trinkets and being reminded of how much of my famly is dead and gone, just seems appropriate for my mood.
NOw if they come out with a Scrooge Meal, I will damn sure get 1!
Yea, nothing beats walking out the door in the morning and busting your ass walking on ice! A family member is talking of moving to north dakota soon if he gets a job that was offered to him. I am thinking, "you idiot".
The Walton’s got nothing on you! Wouldn’t it be nice if during the 2025/2026 winter season for you to update and post more photos of snowfall taken on Graff’s Mountain? Just sayin’………
I don’t blame you one bit I took Marcy to work in the snow the other morning and the roads were terrible I’m glad I’m not out in it all day doing road calls and towing
I have found since I don't have to drive on the snow crapped roads on purpose that the few times i chose to , it was miserable and i was OUT of practice.
I visited the ATM at the local bank yesterday to grab some much needed cash. The nearest Bank of America is probably 27 miles away so I use this out of network bank that is less than 2 miles. Because I’m out of network there’s a $5.00 service fee but that’s okay, my bank reimburses me.
A friend, in Michigan has an upcoming birthday and shopping for the “perfect gift” is too stressful so as you may have guessed, I send cash. This ATM only dispenses 100’s, 20’s, 5’s and 1’s but I’m sending 50. On special occasions my paternal grandmother would sometimes gift my sisters and me money and that currency would ALWAYS BE crisp paper bills. This tradition has been imprinted in me for a hundred years and I need a $50.00 bill. I trot into the bank, stand in line, the teller motions when it’s my turn and when I get to her window, I explain that I want a $50 bill in exchange for these random bills dispensed from THEIR ATM. She asks whether I have an account with them, and I don’t, they are unable to accommodate my request. I explain that I just charged a $5.00 service fee at their ATM…..After a bit of conversation, she reaches out to her superior who after touching and visually inspecting the cash, approves the “transaction”.
Can anyone explain why something so seemingly minor is such a major production?
I trot into the difficult to buy for so I send her money
It has been many years ago that I took cash from an ATM, but I can remember that I used an option sometimes to select the bills that it pays out. ChatGPT found some information about several major U.S. banks that have ATMs that let customers select the denomination of bills when withdrawing.
Chase Bank — Some “denomination-select” or “smart” Chase ATMs let you choose how your cash is split (e.g. $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 bills).
PNC Bank — PNC has upgraded many of its ATMs to allow denomination choice, sometimes including smaller bills like $1 or $5.
Bank of America — Some of their ATMs (especially at larger/ metropolitan branches) reportedly support choosing between different bill denominations (e.g. $10, $20, $50, $100).
Wells Fargo — At certain upgraded or branch-location ATMs, mixed bill options (beyond just $20s) are sometimes available.
27 miles away is a bit far to get the desired bills from an ATM.
I would suggest finding a small store and exchanging the money there.
They are usually happy with smaller bills, because they can use them for change.
My girlfriend is on friendly basis with two shop owners. She sometimes exchanges
change for big bills with them, specifically to help them fill their cash register.
It depends on the business. Some get small bills all day from customers, overloading the cash register, requiring them to take trips to the bank to get rid of them. Those businesses wouldn't like you asking to exchange your small bills for their big bills. One of the shop owners my girlfriend knows has a souvenir shop. She often has pretty rich tourists paying with big bills for a small item, requiring lots of smaller bills in the cash register.
Heres the real kicker. You go to the bank to draw out some cash. You take a 100 dollar bill to the service station to fill up your truck that is usually about 80 bucks, They take a marker and check the bill. IF by some chance it is fake ,guess what, you are out of a 100 bucks and the bank is NOT responsible for handing you a fake bill. They do not check the cash for authenticity at the bank!
AI generated, the back door of that hearse never opened, that is part of why tick tok videos are so small ,so you can't zoom in to see details. But if you watch closely, that didn't happen
There was no casket in the car , you can see thru the rear glass, the casket shown is wood, the car "hit" it ,flexing the hood, that casket would have flown all to shit had it hit the vehicle it is shown to hit or if the car hit it either 1.
There is software that people have on their cell phones that allow them to make a short video,and then have AI modify it. I was shown a video of my camper bouncing all around a camp ground tipping over large desiel pushers and other trailers and knocking down trees. Never happened, looked real though until you saw the bottoms of the trailers and such,blank,black no detail.
so take these videos with a grain of salt,

This was the time of year I loved as a child and had a love/hate relationship with during my working years. Yes, as a working adult I LOVED the amount of paid time off we received yet I DESPISED the amount of stress created due to fewer work days and this being the end of the fiscal year. I LOVED that folks were generally in good spirits yet DESPISED that this time of year because I went to work in the dark and came home in the dark. Holidays, you either love ‘em or not but you can’t deny, during this time of year we serve and consume some great food and drink.
This question is asked after Thanksgiving but prior to Christmas and New Year, what is the “traditional” meal served in your household?
Thanksgiving is easy for me to describe, it was turkey with stuffing, yes, seasoned bread stuffed into the turkey cavity which included some prunes, mashed potatoes, green beans, my mother would make a side dish using canned yams that she “doctored up” with brown sugar, cinnamon and various spices. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD why this dish was always included because it was so WRONG! There were buttery rolls and because it was the holiday, butter not margarine was on the table. Cranberry sauce, I preferred the cranberry sauce with the berries rather than just the plain gel and for dessert, pumpkin pie with whipped cream and mincemeat pie. As a child my ears and eyes made no sense out of something that was called “mincemeat” but truth be told, it didn’t taste “that bad”, it just looked like a hot mess.
So what is or was a traditional holiday meal in your home?
sweet taters are always on the table when i eat with my family.
Along with deviled eggs!! I don't like the berrys in cranberry, i just like the sauce in flat round slices.
So was turkey served? I like sweet potatoes however I’m good with just a bit of butter and seasoned with salt and pepper. Why are freaking marshmallows necessary? Marshmallows are ONLY FOR CAMPFIRES!
True, Me neither but i am willing to bet your woman would slap the shit out of you for a million! I know had i married that nut case i was dating, she would have shot me for a hamburger, just not in the dick, she liked it to much
haven't heard or read yet as to where he got it, Bella posted below the gun was stored correctly. So apparently since that is the case, the kid must have found the key or remembered the combination of the lock on the safe or something.
MY APOLOGIES, my post omitted one very important word and that word is "NOT". The sentence should have read; The problem is that the parent(s) did NOT secure the gun properly.
Andtyisisme, guns are more common than Bibles. Most "responsible gun owners" keep theirs unlocked. And, yes, no teacher ( or anyone else) deserves to be shot.
The teacher most likely deserved it the teacher probably Belittled The kid beyond belief that problem happened in my family quite a bit because we are different and much larger than the rest of the kids I had teachers made fun of me calling me giraffe 🦒 and giant it’s humiliating my suggestion would be to cyber school at home you get a better education with less distractions in half the time and people are starting to realize it public schools are not making the grade anymore
Yea I was bullied alot in school by fellow students, shunned as slow and stupid by the teachers.
SO yea,I know the frustration all to well of how it feels to grow up as "that kid" at the back of the room.
School bullying has been a issue for decades and if these folks that claim to want to make positive changes really meant it,they would do something about it.
Cyber school, It worked for the plandemic,why not keep on?
MUCH cheaper in the long run as the homeless issue could be partly solved by housing people in the old school buildings,busing would no logner be needed. School lunches,would be the PARENTS problem,not the taxpayers and etc. A win win for everyone.
Less school shootings and at the very least,less kids in 1 place to get harmed.
But no, just delete the gun and the whole world will be perfect and kumbaya will be the world anthem.
Really? This from a bunch of idiots that can't even elect a leader in Congress? You and this "woken" crap. You don't even know what it means. And, even if you did, what about MAGA? When was the last time a Republican idea worked?
• Children needn't be bullied by children, teachers or parents.
• Teachers needn't be bullied by the children they're attempting to teach.
• Parents need to be more involved in parenting their children because it's NOT THE JOB OF THE TEACHER to babysit your li'l hooligans 8 hours a day while you're getting high.
I can agree.Parents always chunk the kid in the school or day care and go on with their day as if they don't have kids.
Then something like this happens and everyone is like,"HOw could this happen"?
Well, gee,just as being discussed in another thread I mentioned i would like to see the country go back to the ways of the 50's and this is 1 of the reasons why. School shootings were rare.Parents,namely the mother,were involved in the teaching,raising and caring for the children.
The United States had no mass school shootings that fit our criteria until 1940, when a junior high school principal killed the superintendent, the high school principal, the district business manager, and two teachers, before attempting suicide, because he thought he was going to be fired at the end of the school year.
Guns were less common and people didn't use agun to settle an argument.
Really what about the Wild West a gun was used to settle just about everything and gun were way more popular back then compared to now and everyone carried a gun back then including the two bit whores the store owner the black smith and so on
It is not the belittling or the "fill in the blank" that gets most people to a point of wanting to do harm.It is the lack of other actions being taken or the lack of any actions taken doing any good for the problem.
You get to a point in your life sometimes where you are fed up and can NOT take it anymore. In the case of a 6 year old wanting KILL or harm with a gun, I would say exposure to video games and the killing on them may have been a negative influence.
People for decades have tried to explain that violent music, violent tv shows and games, have a negative effect on the people. Prompting violent behaviors and habits. But the liberals call it freedom of expression and whine to their lawyers, as our kids continue to play games and watch violent movies and listen to music that encourages violence without accountability.
The child must be/ have been seriously disturbed in some way to even think of picking up a gun and shooting his teacher and I do have to wonder to what extent so many .shoot ‘em up’ video games can affect a child/person. At 6 he should not be allowed access to such games by retailers or online sites or his parents. But we know that really doesn’t work.
The causes of the immense gun violence in aThe US has been debated and argued over for years and there will never be a agreement on how to deal with it.
You have your views on gun control, which I respect but totally disagree with, and. Ihave mine, which you totally disagree with. So the shootings and often killings just keep going on.
I can agree with you on the point that children should not have access to violent video games HOWEVER these games must be "alluring" when the child watches their parent(s) relax by playing violent and/or aggressive video games after a long day/work week.
My guess is that a 6 year old child is not able to process what he did. He is not able to process what happens when you shoot someone or something with a real gun, that they are not able to get up, dust themselves off because they have a spare life or two. Regardless of how anyone feels about guns and gun violence in the United States, it circles back to current culture. Is it only that the mindset of Americans is fucked up and that we have access to guns? I kinda think that our society/the world is fucked up and folks living elsewhere need to be "creative" with the way they "accomplish" their dastardly deed.
No not at all I’m trying to say our school system has been broken for 40 years we need to screen our teachers way better the schools either need to step it up a couple notches or go bankrupt from lack of funding
Yes, in the US a gun is used every minute to settle even the most minor disputes. This country has more Road Ra gf e than the rest of the world put together. You have to remember, our " Constitution" says we can.
Absolutely I agree we had a gay teacher that used to try and lure blonde hair blue eyed boys to his closet with candy bars do you think that was appropriate behavior for a teacher
It happens more than we know all I’m saying is screen the teachers better look into their past find out what they’re sexual preferences are if they’re gay switch them to a girls gym teacher or something like that it’s the parents fault because they don’t get involved in school affairs enough just look at the crap they are teaching the poor kids I’m not asking for much just a little policy reform
A deeper screening of potential teachers and finding out their sexual preferences? And where does that stop? Should Microsoft, Ford Motor Company, electricians, steel workers, etc, be required to "disclose" their sexuality? Sorry, dgraff, that's a CRAZY idea.
They ask that question when you go to jail so they know we’re they are placing you it’s a simple yes or no question --------------------------------------- added after 2 minutes
I mean if you are sending your teen age boy to school would you feel comfortable knowing he has a gay teacher I wouldn’t
That, Dgraff, is ridiculous. Sexual preference shouldn’t be part of any vetting of a teacher, or anyone else. You are bisexual. You think you should be allowed to drive a wrecker? You have to transport MEN and women. Are they safe? The “crap” they teach is approved and insisted upon by the local school board. Perhaps I don’t understand what you mean. Could you be more specific? I always thought math, science, English, civics, phys.Ed., were harmless enough.
What about critical race theory and the fact that they no longer say the pledge of allegiance anymore and they teach the children negative numbers my niece showed me and I told her to wait till she is older and try adding negative numbers in her check book and see what happens
I own my wrecker and the shop and all the tools so I don’t see any one trying to stop me the costumer can either ride with me and trust i will behave or walk it’s that simple
I say the US has a gun problem. Now read how all these John Wayne wannabes give you excuses why it's ok for a six year old is in position of a gun, why he had a reason to shoot the teacher, and why the teacher is at fault.
No one cares what you think I say we don’t have a gun problem we have a people problem thank god you’re not the president you would have us in a worse mess than your blow buddy Biden
Well to a point we have a gun problem.
If we could get the guns away from the crooks the rest of us could keep ours locked up until we wanted to target shoot or something.
IF criminals were deterred or dealt with, we wouldn't feel the need to have a gun on our side so to speak.

Very GOOD.
I hardly remember ever eating a marshmellow.
So I’m asking YOU whether you would punch your spouse, partner or significant other in the face for 1 million dollars?
For a 6 year old to want to do that,must have been something bad.Perhaps sexual abuse or something?
SO yea,I know the frustration all to well of how it feels to grow up as "that kid" at the back of the room.
