Find a hobby you enjoy, even if it isn't a social hobby. Get involved in that. Get involved in the community around it, whether that's local or online. Start talking to people, find other common interests. Branch off into those interests with small groups from your hobby, or new groups entirely.

I don't know you, so this isn't a judgement of you or your situation, but people don't like one-dimensional people. Find a variety of things you enjoy doing just for yourself that isn't just video games or YouTube or tv, and then find spaces where people talk about those things. Start going to a gym or taking fitness classes, or join a hobby painting group, or a TCG/board game group, or a book club, or a jogging/biking group, or a crochet circle. Volunteer at local food banks or animal shelters.

Meeting a variety of people and having different, interesting things to talk to them about will help you make friends. Making friends will help you meet potential partners and practice communication skills to make the relationship work. It isn't always easy or fast, but everything I've found a partner it was after I told myself "you know what, I'm don't waiting for friends and companionship to fall in my lap. I'm going to go out and make it happen, or at least have fun on my own if I can't find others to have fun with".

"When you only make $1000 a month, $1000 is a lot of money"

Yes, I believe that is their perspective about a $1000 guitar being worth a lot of money. Perhaps that is not an expensive guitar in comparison to the upper end of guitars, but it is still expensive in absolute value for most people.

I hate all of the versions, the lyrics just grind on my nerves. Mistletoe Meltdown affects me the same way. I can't objectively place the reason why they bother me so much, but I just can't stand them.

Yeah, but drop a pot on hardwood you might get a scuff or dent, while dropping a pot on tile might crack or shatter the tile.

Came here to leave the same comment! I have such distinct memories of Gunman, but could never remember the name of the game.

But how do you know that you've won an argument if you don't get banned instead of being replied to?

Use Green Stuff Putty to fill the crack, smooth/sand it to be even, then put a good base coat over everything and paint it

Edit: typo

Isn't it also highly flammable? My first thought with the comic was it would be used for arson.

Only if you suck at cursive. Depending on how much effort I put in, both my cursive and print writing can look nice, but writing cursive causes mess stress over time. If I'm just jotting a quick note it doesn't matter and both look like ass, but if I'm taking notes for lecture or in a D&D campaign or something like that, where I'm writing a bunch over an hour or more, I see a huge drop off in quality after a bit of time when writing print.

Counterpoint: I anticipate this would cause an over-saturation of the indie film space with poorly made AI generated films and scripts from people attempting to capitalize on the new technology, and further creating a schism with the rest of the art community as generative AI continues to train on other artists artworks and films.

I think it is a cool tool to be added to the repertoire of creatives. I think it may create some very interesting pieces, in time. I agree Hollywood needs some good competition. I don't think AI is going to generate that kuch additional creativity, and if the number of super heroes movies is bad when it takes so much work, effort, time, and money to make a feature length film without AI, just wait until the next big fad takes off and see how much AI contributes to adding even more to the pile.
