(grumble) My bone conduction headphones for the audiology therapy got here today and they were... not what I anticipated. The way the picture looked, it had separate cords for a bluetooth adapter, a 3.5 jack, and a usb connector, but it turns out the bluetooth adapter is permanently attached and the other two hook into that. Also the extra cords are six feet long.
I would have been able to put up with that, except for the fact that the sound quality is extremely muddy and clouded, like listening to someone else playing loud music in the hotel room next to yours. Which means I'd be using these purely for the white noise therapy and still have to carry around my ear-cover headphones for whenever I wanted to listen to music.
Yeah, too much of a pain in the ass for me. So these are getting returned, and I guess I'm back to researching.

this is killing me lmao
- HAH, I'M DONE WITH ALL THE FISH AND BUGS FOR THE TEMPLES. HAHAHAHAHA.
- On the other hand, god they need to either change the necessary leveling exp or change how much the dishes are worth because I have cooked so. much. the last week and I still have to grind out three more levels to get the necessary recipe to finish the last temple requirements. I have a whole-ass lockbox with just star-level dishes in it.
- I did not expect the prismfish plush to be so fucking huge when I caught it.
- Oh my god. Ohhhhhh my god. Ashura's backstory is brutal. No wonder grandpa is a walking ball of ptsd and didn't want his kid joining the military. Devs, this is too cruel!
- Speaking of sadness, I still don't like Hassian, but his and Sifuu's combined backstory makes me understand a lot better.
- Man, am I glad I started playing after the Elderwoods story update. I would be losing my fucking mind waiting on it otherwise.
is there a name for when a character's ethnicity and/or gender is changed for an adaptation/reboot and the new version is (intentionally or un) treated worse? Like how Jasper Sitwell in the comics is a white dude and totally loyal to Nick Fury (and still alive, last I remember) while the MCU version is played by an actor of Honduran descent and turns out to be a traitor and gets killed, or how in every previous version of The Day of The Jackal has a white man inspector character who wins and lives while the most recent version is a black woman who loses and gets killed?

I was inspired by @beyondknowingbeyondthestars 's post about SQQ needing glasses and then I read someone else's post where they called him a MILF, so those got combined.
AKA:
Shen Qingqiu (SJ) needs glasses, badly (especially for things far away). After nigh 30 years of working with SQQ, MQF notices something ain't right. -> Eye exam time -> Results: uh oh -> Glasses are expedited.
Effects (or what my brain chose to think about after that piece of info): SQQ's regular resting bitch face is suddenly not present (as the eyestrain and headache are gone) and he unknowingly activates a secret MILF mode. He can't see that he's done so, but gets points anyways. Also he's like 19% less of an arsehole to everyone around him (he's experiencing childlike wonder for the first time in his life on a regular basis). -> Coworker relations improve by several levels. -> Some coworkers no longer happy to stay just coworkers -> YQY begins to consider the possibility of attic-wife-ing SQQ more seriously than before (as a simple hobby/recreationally) -> ??? -> profit?
Side note: SQQ probably ends up getting a fantasy LASIK at some point (the children don't respect him anymore when he's wearing the glasses/they get broken too many times/impractical when weather happens/I think he's hotter without them drawn in my style ) - this could be a legit medical procedure, or maybe he finally gets wifed and dual cultivation fixes him, idk. Wheezing at the thought that something could fix him.
Also please zoom in, I put too much effort into this shit for you to look at the blurry tumblr mini-image.

Already-existing laws that have been around for decades state the photo or video of a food product must contain the actual food itself. Everything else AROUND the food can be fake, but you must use the real food in the ad. You can alter the food in certain ways to enhance its appearance, but if you’re selling a hamburger, the burger itself must be the actual burger your restaurant sells.
You can use glue instead of milk if you’re selling cereal, but you can’t use glue instead of milk if you’re selling milk. You can’t falsely represent how chunky a soup is by adding extra chunks, but you can put it in a shallow bowl to show off the chunks it normally has. You can spray a burger with glycerin to make it shinier. There’s a lot you can do…as long as the actual food product is in the image.
This means ads of food for sale cannot legally be completely AI generated. I don’t know if this rule applies to other kinds of products, but it’s absolutely a rule for food.
So if you do see ads for food and the product itself in the ad is AI generated, I think you have legal recourse to report it to the FTC and the BBB as false advertisement.
