  • From what I was told, you are supposed to wait since your eye keeps changing until your mid 30s or so. That being said, I knew a girl that had it done in her home country (China) and she said they fucked up and she had constant headaches. Granted, it was in China about 15 years ago so the tech is much better now, especially here.

    I’m still waiting as well though but mostly out of laziness. I’m pretty used to just wearing glasses. I’d probably miss them at this point.



  • Look up the pros and cons of the different editors (Unreal, Unity, Godot). Pick one and start making the simplest of games. There’s some good tutorials that can walk you through things.

    As you learn, you will probably find a specific aspect that you like a lot and you can concentrate on building your expertise for that. Might be coding, animation, shading, 3d modeling. Who knows.

    The important part is to start using the software, but really aim for simple stuff for now and use good quality tutorials and courses. I used mostly YouTube and some Udemy.

    Depending on your age/savings, this can give you a good idea in what to study if this is an option.




  • It begins by asking “whether the `work’ is basically one of human authorship, with the computer [or other device] merely being an assisting instrument, or whether the traditional elements of authorship in the work (literary, artistic, or musical expression or elements of selection, arrangement, etc.) were actually conceived and executed not by man but by a machine.” [23]

    In the case of works containing AI-generated material, the Office will consider whether the AI contributions are the result of “mechanical reproduction” or instead of an author’s “own original mental conception, to which [the author] gave visible form.” [24]

    The answer will depend on the circumstances, particularly how the AI tool operates and how it was used to create the final work.[25] This is necessarily a case-by-case inquiry.

    That’s the rest of what you posted. I guess you just didn’t read it, right? Even if it comes right after and is part of the same paragraph. What a joke.






  • Your reaction to being told Israel has always been an obstacle to peace was pointing that out. It comes out of nowhere, the clarification only serves to pivot the blame.

    You are technically right. The problem is, so is everyone else in that argument but your technically right comes off as defending Israel.

    Fact is you would never start nitpicking about any other genocide and would ban someone for making the same kind of arguments about China.

    I’m going to let it go because I’m not here to harass you but I don’t think your views have changed much.



  • “Hamas started it” is never a good look. It ignore a lot of context which is precisely what the person meant when saying Israel has always been an obstacle to peace.

    More importantly, it’s fixating on the wrong thing. The massacre x 10 000 that is genocide kind of overshadows the rest of it. Using who “started” it as an argument just comes off as trying to justify it.

    Like there’s a mountain of corps and half of them are children.

    It’s really just that. Someone accused you of taking Israel’s side and you defended yourself by saying “Hamas did it first”.


  • Sam Littler, Lucy’s boyfriend, described the couple’s final hours in the house as suffocating. The tension wasn’t just the usual vacation stress; it was specific and angry, fueled by a subject that can split families apart even when they’re sitting at the same breakfast table: Donald Trump.

    What happened next is difficult to square with the violence that followed. About half an hour before they needed to leave—suitcases likely by the door—Harrison didn’t shout or storm off. He took his daughter’s hand. He led her into his ground-floor bedroom. It looked like a dad trying to make peace, perhaps stealing a quiet minute to apologize before she flew back to England—after yet another argument sparked by Donald Trump.

    Fifteen seconds. That’s how long it took before the bang went off.

    They weren’t in the room but It honestly makes him look even more guilty.

    His story is a bit silly. “Just had a huge fight with my daughter, she’s about to leave. :( . Guess I’ll show her my gun”
