I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: that hotline is forvo.com. It’s a pronunciation dictionary that allows you type in a word and see how it’s pronounced. They have multiple languages as well. Don’t see a word on there that you know how to pronounce? You can totally add it. Visit forvo. Help yourself.
that is much better than a hotline because you don’t have to actually talk to someone
PSA: stuttering in fics
as someone with a speech impediment, all of the people saying that only one type of stuttering is valid are wrong.
stuttering CAN look like this: “t-this is a-an example s-s-sentence”
OR this: “this-this is an example sen-sentence.”
OR this: “t-t-t-th-..t-ttttthis is an example sentence.”
OR this: “this is, uhm, an example, uh, sentence.”
OR this: “this is an example sssssss-sentence.”
OR this: “this is an examp-…this an example sentence.”
sometimes the sentence won’t even come out of your mouth at all.
there are probably many examples i’m forgetting, but that’s the point! it usually is a mix of a few of these, but some people do one of them more often than others! some people with speech impediments have certain sounds that they almost consistently have trouble with (for me it’s “st”).
people with speech impediments also rarely-if ever-stutter whilst they’re singing or whispering.
most importantly!!!! people with speech impediments are capable of saying a sentence without stuttering!! it can just be a gamble sometimes.
and if more people could portray the frustration that comes with stuttering and not being able to get words out, i’d be a very happy girl.
(fun fact: sometimes when my mouth won’t let me say what i want to say, i get so annoyed that i just yell or grumble out “WORDS.”)
this was your speech impediment PSA!!!!
We need more repeat and pause stutters or when you basically lose the plot after one too many retries
Its like- its like when- like- when- like when- FUCK

Hey everyone, I know it’s going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I’m not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
Writers: It’s asking to read your Google Docs and be able to ‘summarize’ things from them and such things. I just turned all mine off.
People seem to like my hands, so, here’s my first “tutorial”, tackling my approach on how to draw and construct hands! I hope to do more of these, and that next one will dive into hand gestures and applying it with this structure.
Hope you find this helpful! :D
pinterest simulator
hey. You can fix this really easily. I did it. i don’t get AI content anymore on Pinterest.
Go to settings. Scary, I know, but you got this.
Go to (on mobile) that cute lil’ 3rd option, “Refine Your Recommendations”.
Go to the last option, “GenAI interests”.
Turn it all off. All of it. Every single one. It’s that easy.
also you can use the “Refine Your Recommendations” to fix up any shit you just don’t want to see (i, for example, try to get rid of any scary photos cuz otherwise i get paranoia).
There you go!! You did it!! Good job!!! Enjoy some AI free pinterest! Ads are still there and they suck ass. But that’s the internet nowadays if you’re too broke for an ad blocker. This has worked extremely well for me. I don’t get any AI images. I get to enjoy my interests without gross inbred images.
kiss kiss, hug hug. use this information, like, now.
ClipStudio Paint Tutorial: Exporting Character Variation as named files
You there.
Yes.

Are you an programmer having to set up a PNGTuber character from a .clip file and are desperately trying to get all the components out in an automatic fashion but the “Batch Process” is a bit lacking.
Are you an indie game developer who masterfully crafted a ton of different faces for your characters of your next visual novel game and now has to spend hours exporting and renaming every. single. slight. variations.
