Complex topic. I’d add that a lot of drug-seeking stems from trauma. Our society has so very little support for survivors. They need so much more than a meal, a clean change of clothes, and a safe place to shower so they can attend a support group in dignity. Handing a beggar ten bucks for a bottle of booze is by far the cheaper band-aid act of kindness if you’re not going put them in psychotherapy.
I agree LLMs can be useful, but it’s a contentious side topic in the art world. I find it avoids a lot of tedious opinionation if I just verify LLM outputs against reputable information sources.
In this case, you uploaded your art to an LLM and it identified similarities to Orphism, so hopefully you went to Wikipedia or whatever to verify key features and artists of Orphism, and saw for yourself why the label fits your work. Now you can talk about your piece in terms of what you know about similar work, without having to weather tedious emotional sidetracks into the complex ethics of LLM use-cases.
Amen. They’re not “settling” virgin frontiers, they’re killing and driving people off developed land to steal it. It’s properly called “pillaging” and it’s a Geneva Convention war crime.
The only thing it might affect is my favorite f-droid music app. I’m leaning away from the Alphabet ecosystem for other uses though - Joplin instead of Keep for note-taking, Organic Maps instead of Gmaps for nav, local LibreOffice files instead of Workspace apps when online collab isn’t critical.
Nobody has quite stepped up to compete with G Sheets. Even Excel online is a distant runner-up. Proton is working on challenging Alphabet’s Drive/Docs/Sheets hegemony but right now it’s painfully basic.
Every couple has to figure out for themselves what’s a mutually agreeable balance of time spent together, solo time, and keeping up with friends and family.
When I was younger, I was prone to drop plans with friends for one-on-one time with a romantic interest. It wasn’t healthy, and one person I dated took advantage of it to isolate me from my emotional support network of family and friends - positioning herself as sole supply of validation and approval.
Of course being with someone who starves you for contact and shows no interest in your inner life… isn’t great either. Since different people have different social and “me time” needs, it can be a real incompatibility point. It’s not about who’s right or wrong, it’s about balancing individual needs.

Google got on their knees pretty much instantly for this, just like the fake rename of the Gulf of Mexico. So I’m adopting OpenStreetMap for desktop and Organic Maps for nav.
less of both; more mass transit

Genetics provides a very loose framework to register, process, and act on learned information. The vast majority of however we define “personality” is a product of learning, not hard-coded by physical gene expression.
driving traffic to monetized websites (news, porn, ad-loaded blogs) would be my first guess. Propaganda secondarily, which could also intersect with news and blog referrals.
A think a key nuance to the question is, was the photo taken from public airspace? The Supreme Court has affirmed, over and over, the right to photograph and film/video record anything in public, including privately-owned spaces visible from public spaces.
Declassification is a separate issue, and hinges on ongoing security concerns. It’d be hard to make a compelling case for decommissioned and redeveloped site aerial photos still being somehow sensitive.
Of course they will try that tack, the question is will the judge go along with it. Needless to say an 8 year old cannot waive their rights, it would make nonsense of consent law.
I think your reasons are much more complex than “the father’s age” and you’re doing yourself a bit of injustice to reduce it to that. My biological father was a narcissistic dirtbag, so from that platform of experience I can attest that knowing one’s biological parent is no particular guarantee of best life.
