It might be visiting it from another device, devices which have different screen sizes are behaving differently, but if you visit from the same device, then something weird happened, which I don't know

BTW, I need to know your opinion in my latest writings which are related to Middle East and Syria.

Do you use a different web browser? Is your OS zoom set to a different % level than normal? (Like in Windows settings, etc.) Has your monitor maybe defaulted to a lower resolution than it's capable of?

yes, I think using a different browser cause this problem too, becuase browsers might behave differently with some css and html tags,,

ah ! a scenic artist is the artist that makes the thing look like what it's supposed to be. like for example they build just like. a bunch of walls. and the scenic artist sculpts and paints to make everything look like the what is is. everything in a theme park is literally just concrete or fiberglass. so I'll often for example paint a flat surface to look like a very realistic wood grain.

or sculpt out the architectural details that require an artists hand to achieve. stuff like that. lotsa mural work too. but I'm more into the faux architecture of it all. I have a not mobile friendly page about it in my gallery :3

I didn't see what was new but I agree with his moratorium on freaking out about AI. I think it's a gimmick and a lot of people kinda fell for this one. it's another nft or another crypto it's another tech bro scam. as someone who makes their living in a field supposedly getting "replaced" by ai. the reality is it's not happening soon. machine learning Is an infant and the Internet being filled with slop isn't new imo

Yeah there are positive and negative effects on the tech itself... for good or for bad...But it comes from the human heart since the dawn of time. However Robots are here and Star wars is a real thing lol

concerns about it accelerating misinfo and being used to squeeze workers are definitely warranted, but most anti-AI folk have a basically philosophical opposition to it that isn't even based in any reality of what ML is

basically, as a scenic artist, it means we do all the actual on site art and themeing ! it's a lot of sculpting things to look like rocks or wood but it's also everything else you see !!!! a few of my coworkers literally spent like three years hand painting all the faux tile for the battle at the ministry ride ! absolutely none of anything is real, but we make it look like it is and it was a PAIN BUT ITS DOOONEEEE!!!
here are some (kind of bad lol) pictures, I'll share my own when I get a sec :3
