Can't tell if autocorrect or a joke about her lips.

Is it different from breeding and killing an animal to eat it?

Thanks for sharing the detailed workflow

Sounds like a good policy. Which community is that for?

Nah those NFTs are way stupider. Making actually good looking AI art without any oddities can take several hours once you really get into the intricacies and often still needing something like Photoshop for finishing. I'm referring to Stable Diffusion. Others like DALLE-E and MidJourney are basically just the prompt.

To be fair to that person, they do have a service that gets labeled as a VPN on Android.

I think that it not being true in reverse is part of the point actually. Having a Chinese name is very closely tied to being Chinese. Being named Mike isn't tied to one nationality or ethnicity. And if you're American, and meet someone who looks Chinese but introduces themselves as Mike, you won't think anything of it because there are so many Chinese Americans and you'd just be completely used to it. If history were reversed and China was the great melting pot, then I think this name situation might be reversed a bit too.

Yeah I wouldn't say there's actually anything wrong with it.

But imagine a hypothetical situation for a moment: a white person in the west with a Chinese name. People would probably stereotype or make odd assumptions about their life based on just the name. They'd be in a constant loop of explaining the origin of their name. Many might butcher the pronunciation, leading to awkward corrections. Official documentation? I bet there'd be issues and extra verification steps due to the name-appearance mismatch. There's also the potential uncomfortable surprise during face-to-face meetings after email introductions. And, sadly, they might even face discrimination in areas like job applications. All these based on just a name, crazy, right?

Can anyone explain the joke?
