  • The rare and elegant alligator-emu hybrid: the Emulator

    [it’s been a long day 🤣 ]

    the technical bits from ChatGPT
    Imagine a new, captivating version of a fantasy creature that is a hybrid between an alligator and an emu. This creature possesses the formidable, scaly body of an alligator, complete with its powerful tail and strong jaws, but it also features the long neck and legs of an emu, topped with a head that combines the characteristics of both animals in a unique and intriguing way. Its skin is a blend of feathers and scales, creating a mesmerizing texture that sparkles in the sunlight. The creature stands majestically in a mythical landscape, perhaps beside a tranquil lake or in a lush, enchanted forest, embodying the essence of both land and water. The image should be rich in detail, highlighting the fantasy aspect of this hybrid creature in a beautiful and imaginative setting.
    


  • I agree wholeheartedly.

    actual addition to conversation

    The only instinct a child has to get attention is to be disruptive. Eventually they learn patience, better verbiage, and how to time their interactions with others. Time isn’t really a concept yet and things are almost an “on/off” switch.

    Hunger doesn’t exist during playtime until Hunger is activated, in which case, Hunger is all that exists. Hunger can only be eliminated with help as the cookies remain furiously out of reach. HELP!

    “Attention-seeking behavior” is “hey I need help with something” in their first language. It’s up to the adults to figure out what’s going on. Finding out why they are being disruptive helps, a lot. If they feel they’re being ignored, work out spending time with them as reassurance… when convenient. If they’re hungry, take a moment to procure a proper snack, and then they’ll be satisfied. They might not even know what they need - do any of us really - and that’s where listening can be helpful.

    Again, time not being easily explained such an on/off age.

    I am not a child therapist. I’ve just worked with too many “difficult” kids.





  • I feel like a lot of it is “translated” to match human emotions. That person wouldn’t actually be considered attractive, but the movie makes them attractive in a weird way so humans can relate. Green lipstick on a Vulcan would be EXTREMELY off putting to a human, in literal stark contrast. To make a Vulcan “attractive” it would be on human terms with our sexy red lipstick or… it may have the wrong effect and not tune emotions in properly to the scene. It’s a huge reason why I hated watching Star Trek with a particular individual I know. “THOSE TWO SPECIES COULDN’T BE BREEDING! THE HORMONES ARE ALL WRONG AND THEY DIDN’T DEVELOP IN THE SAME…” and on and on.

    The blushing thing absolutely should be green, but I get why it wasn’t characterized as such. Friggin apes.
