This turned out better than I thought it would.

My father’s family name with a couple of variations comes out of Kent England. Dating back to about the 12th or 13th century. Though it is said that we are related to William Adams. The James Clavell’s novel Shogun, Blackthorne. He was supposed to be a cousin. But I have my doubts as there is some discrepancy. As to whether it was a family member or someone unrelated with the same last name. That married into the Adam family.

But it would be nice if it were true.

Why do they don’t recognize the eye color?

Good question. It gave my portrait dark brown eyes while my character has light blue eyes.

Zaera’s aunty married an Arab from Jordan

I have liked all the people I met who were from Jordan. I have a good friend who is from Iraq too. He’s kind and respectful.

@Yiole_Gionglao

maybe that side of the family arrived in Spain along with the Vandal invasions (the first known ancestor was my grandfather’s father, who was from a place in the Pyrenees, whereas my grandmother’s family was from Aragon).

Might assume you have Gaulish/Germanic/Iberian ancestry. It’s a nice mix.
I don’t have much info on my ancestors. They were Swedish on my mom’s side and Germanic on my dad’s. Both my parents’ last names turned up nothing of interest. My first name is Swedish. I have been to Germany but I haven’t gone to Sweden yet.

Honestly, I like your EVE portrait more. It pierces through the viewers soul. ChatGPT doesn’t do it justice in that sense.

and for Zaera’s portrait…Zaera might or might not have glasses or even might or might not look like that. We’ll never know.

It is the moustache AND the glasses hiding the eyebrows, you see, the moustache and the shape of his glasses arcing downwards contributes to the false appearance of him frowning. I think more of it as neutral expression. More determined look maybe.

Timezone!

A monk was traveling from land to land, searching for the wisest man in the world. Eventually, he arrived in Nasreddin Hodja’s village. He asked the villagers:

– “Who is the wisest man in your village?”

The villagers replied:

– “Nasreddin Hodja.”

So the monk called Hodja to the village square. He took a stick and drew a circle on the ground. Nasreddin Hodja then drew a line through the middle of the circle. The monk added another line, dividing the circle into four parts. Hodja then marked three of those parts with an X. The monk made a motion with his hands from the ground upward; Hodja responded by making the same motion from the sky downward.

The monk was deeply impressed and congratulated Hodja. The villagers, who didn’t understand what was going on, asked the monk to explain. He said:

– “This man is truly the wisest in the world. I drew the Earth, and he indicated the Equator running through its middle. I divided it into four, and he told me that three-fourths of the Earth is water. I asked what happens when water evaporates, and he answered: it rains.”

But when the people of Akşehir asked Hodja what had happened, he said:

– “Honestly, I didn’t understand a thing! First, he drew a big tray—so I thought he was saying, ‘Let’s eat some baklava.’ Then he split it in half, so I said, ‘No way! Three pieces are mine, only one is yours.’ Then he made a sprinkling motion like adding walnuts or pistachios. I said, ‘Alright, but it has to be baked in a strong wood fire,’ while wiggling my fingers like this. Then he bowed deeply and let me have the whole thing!”

Thank you. I’ve always liked looking at people with darker skin and lighter eyes, I don’t know why, I think it’s beautiful. Sometimes I see these girls with blond hair, darker skin and blue eyes and I get jealous. I’m fair skinned with green eyes and brown hair, very average. I really like your A.I-geneted portrait. Looks very distinguished.

@LordOdysseus

I like Zaera’s younger portrait. Reminds me of a friend I had at school.

I agree completely.

About ten years ago I picked up a pizza from them, supposed to be Hawaii. I got home, opened the box and it was peperoni. Drove back to those losers and asked for my money back. They didn’t want to reimburse me and they were rude so I swore to never order from them again. Not a big loss really. Their pizzas are like sheets of paper with questionable stuff on it.

I once got an uncut pie delivered from them. Supposedly, that’s an option when ordering, but I still was shocked as I had never encountered that problem before when ordering pizza.

[Yiole_Gionglao]

Now that I bothered resurrecting my unused Google account, I just had to try… gave directions in Spanish (realistic, flash, some grit, polaroid style) and specified “blue eyes”. First attempt was a little too literal with the grit so I asked “smooth skin”, and apparently the eye color must be specified!

And, op success!

It’s not exactly her, but it’s lovely enough. Next try is gonna be a tough one… requesting a specific skin complexion, an unusual eye color (will it understand what the skin and eye color mean in Spanish?) and specifying a bra cup size (because, Ish!)

Well… it overdid the cup size (no chatgpt, that’s NOT a D cup) and missed the eye color… but the skin complexion is good…

Some tweaking… try to keep the original pose, smaller cup size, hazelnut eyes…

…oh, it allows you to refine on the same image… seriously? Does it can?

…no, it can’t. And I reached my daily quota so… more tomorrow? Me wants a green-eyed Indah!

At University, a Maths professor who was my director of studies, treated me as if I was beneath him.

Zaera though with her photographic memory was able to reproduce his proofs exactly in the exam and got an A. From then on he was very fond of Zaera, realising that Zaera was special.

I don’t know and it may be the case, but I think I will call BS on that. They were simply too busy and forgot to cut your pizza. I’m not willing to cut Domino’s any slack… not until they learn to make a deep-dish pizza at least.

It must be a common trait amongst math teachers. Every one I’ve met acted like they were royalty, and the women worse than the men. It didn’t help their attitude towards me that I didn’t care for their class and didn’t pay attention or participate. I don’t function well with snooty people. Good thing I always had classmates to study with who took the time to explain that alien language.

Time to go to sleep… night night lovelies!

Also: only 75 $? What a steal!

I find it amusing that since used cars have always been a thing, then there was a time when a used car was something manufactured 100 years ago, like a Ford Model A for sale in the 1940s, with “good tires” and “excellent” motor… and probably it became someone’s car, looking outrageously dated compared to “modern” cars from the 1930s, but it would drive you from A to B…

[Zaera_Keena]

Electric cars a depreciating so fast , soon you will be able to get one for £75, a new battery though will cost you $30,000

[Zaera_Keena]

Well Zaera had a temporary lapse in self control and just spent £5500 on something she doesn’t really need, but hey , we all deserve a treat now and then.

[Yiole_Gionglao]

…another bike?

[Zaera_Keena]

Very Good.
