We're both going to get downvoted to hell but I agree. I paint for my own pleasure (not for profit) and have no problem admitting that I've used Google (which will grab AI images) for inspiration. I can't afford to pay Getty images for a picture of a single yellow daffodil with one leaf on a white background, but I will Google the phrase and use the free images it finds as a starting point. I'm not making money off what I produce and I'm not taking money away from other artists because I'm the one producing the original work. I don't support AI generated art kits (like the kinds you find on Temu) and I don't agree with using AI to replace the work of professional artists, but for crafters like myself using AI images as inspiration I don't understand the hate.

It actually kind of makes sense. The names are listed alphabetically by surname, so you just find your name, then follow the line to your table #.

I think it depends what for. Like I volunteer for a non-profit that to save money for certain things uses ai art (like their holiday greeting cards to donors, the art work is AI), and there are other uses for it. I think there is a time a place for AI art, and a time and a place to use paid artists. I think brands using AI rather than pay is bad, but I think for certain uses for certain groups and orgs, it is fine.

This feels like a Barbie house in 1988 and I'm so here for it!

I really hope they knitted these instead of buying the exact same ones off Temu.

Perfect! My fav colour and the wallpaper inside wall. Love it

If only there was something similar to fake flower petals that bio-degrades. Hmmmmmm... 🤔🤔🤔

In 5 years it'll be illegible which is a pity, because it's beautiful.

Replace "looks like" with "is" and you're correct.

Omg the Xtina hair!
I have huge sympathy for this poor kid getting migraines so young, but it's not their sister's fault. Sure, noise can aggravate them, but saying their birthday was ruined by their sister is a stretch. The migraine ruined the day, not the sister. Migraines aren't caused by people and and they clearly know that from the 3rd edit. And they didn't get in trouble for having a migraine on their birthday, they got in trouble for how they acted on the sister's birthday. It sounds like OP needs some therapy to deal with the anger issues they mention.

“…because she has two children we want a relationship with…”?

She should have returned the man together with the mixer. Honestly, if my husband had manipulated and schemed against me like that I would have left him. This poor excuse for a husband then doubled down by not being honest with her after the fact. Even after she communicated her objections he still expected her to capitulate and just be a good little wife.

jfc. You know how I sometimes talk about that horrible accident my dad had, where he fell off a ladder and sustained a catastrophic brain injury? Well, that happened ON Thanksgiving Day in 2000. So yeah, holidays instantly took on a level of súckitude for my mother/us. You know what happened the next year on Thanksgiving? Yeah, my mom was devastated and didn't want to host, cook, or do anything. So she asked if my family members would be willing to come to our house and help with the cooking. She ended up having a breakdown that day, so they/we did ALL the cooking for her. It was really nice and made my mom, sister, and I feel a lot better about the holiday. It didn't magically make my dad be better or be there at the table with us, but it was a solution that was much better than "here's a stand mixer, I'm forcing Thanksgiving on someone else because *I* don't want to handle it emotionally."
