I don’t see how the term “Alchemy” is any different than “Transubstantiation”, and the Catholic Church seems pretty down with that.

Imagine living your entire life with this kind of fear. Religion does crazy things to people’s minds.

I did read it - what I meant is that I think the author of the article was mistaken.

The view-state sync feature and all the social stuff is def opt-in though. Of course they made it super easy to do the opt-in, they want to push that feature, but I remember I did have to actively choose both of those things after the update.

Obviously I don’t really want my “friends” getting weekly emails about what I’m watching, but I don’t know — If I were self-hosting my own porn, maybe I’d take 5 extra seconds to read the screen that says stuff about sharing activity.

Thanks! I didn’t do the underlying structures for this one. I used the Charles Bargue method, which is more like drawing a big box around the subject, then “sculpting” out the shape. Going from very blocky to more organic lines. Like this:

I was a heavy user for years and it helped suppress dreams a lot while I was using. At the time I also had an early morning college course. When I would come back from that class and pass back out, I was able to consistently trigger lucid dreams like clockwork, which was awesome.

When I quit smoking, I had insane, cinematic dreams for probably about 3 weeks before my normal REM cycle returned.

Paywalled article.

Since they would be predators, their eyes would be positioned on the front of their skulls instead of the sides for better stereoscopic vision, and they would likely have sharp incisor teeth. Those 2 things alone are pretty creepy.

I think in the library settings there’s a box to 'prefer local metadata'. That’s should stop Plex from changing artwork.
