  26. &lt;p&gt;The following is a snippet of a conversation I had about 《AI artists》, translated to english.&lt;/p&gt;
  27. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  28. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://postimg.cc/MMQr1Nsw'&gt;&lt;img src="https://i.postimg.cc/Px3snkYC/20240614-155446.jpg" alt="20240614-155446.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  29. &lt;p&gt;To know if someone using AI to create an image is an "artist" you have to consider what the word artist means.
  30. The definition of artist according to the dictionary is "A person who cultivates any of the fine arts." And it has two concepts, cultivating and fine arts, so there are two problems in defining the AI user as an artist: whether the individual is creating (cultivating), and whether what he or she creates is art.&lt;/p&gt;
  31. &lt;p&gt;The first problem can be thought of logically, the individual without the AI cannot generate the images and the AI alone cannot generate them without the individual's input, so both are creating. It can be said that it is a relationship of user and tool.&lt;/p&gt;
  32. &lt;p&gt;The second problem is more complicated, because it requires the definition of art, which is obviously a complicated subject.
  33. The common definition of artist uses the phrase fine arts, "The set of arts whose purpose is to express beauty, and especially painting, sculpture and music", whose concept of beauty goes back to philosophy and ancient Greece, not just visual appeal, but I digress.&lt;/p&gt;
  34. &lt;p&gt;I am going to use my own definition, with which a portion of people in the debate agree, although it is highly contested. Art is an object whose purpose is to express a message. The object can be a drawing, sculpture, painting, music, literature, theater, installation, performance, etc. It encompasses a large number of disciplines and does not always replicate an image of the real world, but it always, always, communicates something or has a reason for being. A critique, a story, a revolution, a feeling, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
  35. &lt;p&gt;This definition leaves out many works, of course, but it also includes many others. But with this definition a problem arises, or rather a present problem is illuminated, which raises: in a work of art what should be considered, the intentions of the artist or the interpretations of the public?&lt;/p&gt;
  36. &lt;p&gt;If we go with the former, if someone creates a work with the intention of communicating it is art. If we go with the second, if someone creates something just for the sake of creating and a person sees it, interprets it and finds a meaning or a message, it is art. I'm inclined to the second.&lt;/p&gt;
  37. &lt;p&gt;So if we apply this to images created with AI, we can see that what is prioritized is attractiveness, visual impact, detail, style. They rarely communicate anything more than "how nice" or "how cool". This is not a bad thing, there are lots of disciplines and creative processes that are merely ornamental and that does not mean they lack merit. It is not art, just as many drawings, many songs, and many other things are not art.&lt;/p&gt;

  58.    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://i.postimg.cc/zDn6TTSm/ermmm3.png" alt="ermmm3.png" /&gt; &lt;a href='https://oekaki.cinni.net/potiboard.php?res=741'&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  59. &lt;hr /&gt;
  60. &lt;p&gt;I started writing this because I wanted to talk about things that bother me while surfing the personal web... but first let's clear some things up&lt;/p&gt;
  61. &lt;p&gt;From: &lt;a href='https://lime360.nekoweb.org/blog/know-the-difference/'&gt;Indie Web is not same as the Small Web&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  62. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  63. &lt;p&gt;Small web is an alternate version of the mainstream web, that includes less-known social media alternatives, alternative protocols like Gemini or Gopher, and minimalistic (not like the corporate) personal websites, it's a simplified version of Indie Web.&lt;/p&gt;
  64. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  65. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  66. &lt;p&gt;Personal web, or the web revival is basically a bit similar to the small web, except it's less tech-savvy, which makes it perfect for artists or random Gen Z kids (like me!) who didn't know much about the old web, the predecessor of the personal web.&lt;/p&gt;
  67. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  68. &lt;p&gt;And according to Cambridge Dictionary:&lt;/p&gt;
  69. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  70. &lt;p&gt;pet peeve&lt;/p&gt;
  71. &lt;p&gt;something that especially annoys you&lt;/p&gt;
  72. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  73. &lt;hr /&gt;
  74. &lt;h2 id=slow-websites&gt;Slow websites&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://i.postimg.cc/g0pnkCpX/awiting.png" alt="awiting.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  75. &lt;p&gt;This is maybe the most annoying problem on the personal web, I think. I click on a website and I'm greeted with a bunch of images, logos, backgrounds, stickies, that take a &lt;em&gt;while&lt;/em&gt; to load. Now, once they do, the site looks beautiful I'm sure. But most of the time I click out before they can finish loading. It lags my whole browser!&lt;/p&gt;
  76. &lt;p&gt;I don't use many images for my websites (especially because I haven't practised the "position" stuff and all) so I'm not sure if it's hard to get your images light enough so they load fast. It can't be too complicated to compress them, I'm sure? But then again, I don't have much experience with this.
  77. It could also be because of my internet/computer/RAM or something else, but I doubt it.&lt;/p&gt;
  78. &lt;h2 id=not-having-an-easy-to-copy-button&gt;Not having an easy to copy button&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://i.postimg.cc/wvZSVd00/photo-2024-04-13-23-49-32.jpg" alt="butns" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  79. &lt;p&gt;Like, not having your button's code in a textarea or code box for easy copy and pasting. Now, I don't think this is something that makes or breaks your site, but having your button's code easy to copy makes it a lot easier for people to share and put it on their website! I like adding all the buttons of websites I like to mine, so it makes it much easier.&lt;/p&gt;
  80. &lt;h2 id=everything-being-too-hard-to-read&gt;Everything being too hard to read!&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://i.postimg.cc/gJJMQBnQ/imagen.png" alt="imagen.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  81. &lt;p&gt;This might just be me because I'm short-sighted (and getting progressibly worse) but some sites have a tiny tiny font in liiiight colour over a sliiiiightly lighter background colour. I'm having a headache trying to read! Zooming in does help most of the time, but let's say if you want people to be able to see your website, mayyyybe don't make it so hard. It's also so bad for accessibility.
  82. Everyone making a website should at least have a little look at &lt;a href='https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/'&gt;Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)&lt;/a&gt;, i think&lt;/p&gt;
  83. &lt;p&gt;On this topic, i highly recommend reading &lt;a href='https://punkwasp.neocities.org/blog/on-accessibility-mobile-responsiveness-and-the-personal-web/'&gt;On Accessibility, Mobile Responsiveness, and the Personal Web&lt;/a&gt; and other posts it references. Reading them helped me understand the importance of accessibility and implement it to my site!&lt;/p&gt;
  84. &lt;h2 id=thats-all&gt;That's all&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can't think of anything else that annoys me while surfing the personal web, so this post ends here.
  85. Have a nice day/night/life&lt;/p&gt;

  202. &lt;p&gt;He loved her and would not betray her; but that was only a fact, known as he knew the rules of arithmetic. He felt no love for her, and he hardly even wondered what was happening to her. — location: &lt;a href=''&gt;3164&lt;/a&gt; ^ref-33112&lt;/p&gt;
  203. &lt;hr /&gt;
  204. &lt;p&gt;He thought: ‘If I could save Julia by doubling my own pain, would I do it? Yes, I would.’ But that was merely an intellectual decision, taken because he knew that he ought to take it. He did not feel it. In this place you could not feel anything, except pain and foreknowledge of pain. — location: &lt;a href=''&gt;3297&lt;/a&gt; ^ref-16374&lt;/p&gt;
  205. &lt;hr /&gt;
  206. &lt;p&gt;‘Does Big Brother exist?’ ‘Of course he exists. The Party exists. Big Brother is the embodiment of the Party.’ ‘Does he exist in the same way as I exist?’ ‘You do not exist,’ said O’Brien. — location: &lt;a href=''&gt;3589&lt;/a&gt; ^ref-1858&lt;/p&gt;
  207. &lt;hr /&gt;
  208. &lt;p&gt;‘It might be a long time,’ said O’Brien. ‘You are a difficult case. But don’t give up hope. Everyone is cured sooner or later. In the end we shall shoot you.’ — location: &lt;a href=''&gt;3798&lt;/a&gt; ^ref-49612&lt;/p&gt;
  209. &lt;hr /&gt;
  210. &lt;p&gt;Merely to be alone, not to be beaten or questioned, to have enough to eat, and to be clean all over, was completely satisfying. — location: &lt;a href=''&gt;3818&lt;/a&gt; ^ref-19079&lt;/p&gt;
  211. &lt;hr /&gt;
  212. &lt;p&gt;‘Room 101,’ he said. — location: &lt;a href=''&gt;3912&lt;/a&gt; ^ref-373&lt;/p&gt;
  213. &lt;hr /&gt;
  214. &lt;p&gt;and there was a long scar, partly hidden by the hair, across her forehead and temple; — location: &lt;a href=''&gt;4037&lt;/a&gt; ^ref-54891&lt;/p&gt;

  236. &lt;p&gt;My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a 2018 novel by American author Ottessa Moshfegh- Moshfegh's second novel, it is set in New York City in 2000 and 2001 and follows an unnamed protagonist as she gradually escalates her use of prescription medications in an attempt to sleep for an entire year
  237. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia&lt;/p&gt;
  238. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  239. &lt;hr /&gt;
  240. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  241. &lt;p&gt;WHENEVER I WOKE UP, night —&lt;/p&gt;
  242. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  243. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  244. &lt;p&gt;If you’re smart or rich or lucky Maybe you’ll beat the laws of man But the inner laws of spirit And the outer laws of nature No man can No, no man can&lt;/p&gt;
  245. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  246. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  247. &lt;p&gt;Not that what I was doing was suicide. In fact, it was the opposite of suicide. My hibernation was self-preservational. I thought that it was going to save my life.&lt;/p&gt;
  248. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  249. &lt;p&gt;sounds like depression&lt;/p&gt;
  250. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  251. &lt;p&gt;he may as well have been molded out of plastic. Reva had a thing for older men, as did I. Men our age, Reva said, were too corny, too affectionate, too needy.&lt;/p&gt;
  252. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  253. &lt;p&gt;wtf ?????&lt;/p&gt;
  254. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  255. &lt;p&gt;Nothing hurt Reva more than effortless beauty, like mine.&lt;/p&gt;
  256. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  257. &lt;p&gt;be so for real rn&lt;/p&gt;
  258. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  259. &lt;p&gt;I once asked her whether her jealousy had anything to do with her being Jewish,&lt;/p&gt;
  260. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  261. &lt;p&gt;what&lt;/p&gt;
  262. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  263. &lt;p&gt;I took upwards of a dozen pills a day. But it was all very regulated, I thought.&lt;/p&gt;
  264. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  265. &lt;p&gt;of course it is&lt;/p&gt;
  266. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  267. &lt;p&gt;This is my year of rest and relaxation.”&lt;/p&gt;
  268. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  269. &lt;p&gt;OMG&lt;/p&gt;
  270. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  271. &lt;p&gt;“We’re all alone, Reva,”&lt;/p&gt;
  272. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  273. &lt;p&gt;ase, as expected&lt;/p&gt;
  274. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  275. &lt;p&gt;“You’re needy,”&lt;/p&gt;
  276. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  277. &lt;p&gt;girl bsff&lt;/p&gt;
  278. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  279. &lt;p&gt;I looked like a model, had money I hadn’t earned, wore real designer clothing, had majored in art history, so I was “cultured.”&lt;/p&gt;
  280. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  281. &lt;p&gt;mary sue much??? /j /hj&lt;/p&gt;
  282. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  283. &lt;p&gt;someone who loves you enough to point out all your flaws.&lt;/p&gt;
  284. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  285. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  286. &lt;p&gt;miss you,” she said, her voice cracking a little. Maybe she thought those words would break through to my heart. I’d been taking Nembutals all day. “We probably shouldn’t be friends,” I told her, stretching out on the sofa. “I’ve been thinking about it, and I see no reason to continue.”&lt;/p&gt;
  287. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  288. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  289. &lt;p&gt;But I was tall and thin and blond and pretty and young.&lt;/p&gt;
  290. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  291. &lt;p&gt;girl..&lt;/p&gt;
  292. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  293. &lt;p&gt;I could hear his cock harden on the phone whenever I called to beg him to come over and hold me.&lt;/p&gt;
  294. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  295. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  296. &lt;p&gt;I asked Trevor once, “If you could have only blow jobs or only intercourse for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?” “Blow jobs,” he answered. “That’s kind of gay, isn’t it?” I said. “To be more interested in mouths than pussies?” He didn’t speak to me for weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
  297. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  298. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  299. &lt;p&gt;Nobody up there listened to the Moldy Peaches.&lt;/p&gt;
  300. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  301. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  302. &lt;p&gt;They wouldn’t be distracted by “pussy,”&lt;/p&gt;
  303. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  304. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  305. &lt;p&gt;The truth was probably that they were just afraid of vaginas, afraid that they’d fail to understand one as pretty and pink as mine,&lt;/p&gt;
  306. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  307. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  308. &lt;p&gt;I thought that if I did normal things—held down a job, for example—I could starve off the part of me that hated everything.&lt;/p&gt;
  309. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  310. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  311. &lt;p&gt;Being pretty only kept me trapped in a world that valued looks above all else.&lt;/p&gt;
  312. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  313. &lt;p&gt;ok fair&lt;/p&gt;
  314. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  315. &lt;p&gt;my year of rest and relaxation.&lt;/p&gt;
  316. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  317. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  318. &lt;p&gt;I love you,”&lt;/p&gt;
  319. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  320. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  321. &lt;p&gt;I was actually on the Titanic and the dolphin was a shark that was also Moby Dick and also Dick Tracy and also a hard, inflamed penis, and the penis was giving a speech to a crowd of women and children and waving his gun around. “Then I saluted everyone like a Nazi and jumped overboard and everybody else got executed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  322. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  323. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  324. &lt;p&gt;“I was only teasing,” my mom said, batting the smoke of her own cigarette away from her face. “About the cancer?” “No.”&lt;/p&gt;
  325. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  326. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  327. &lt;p&gt;“You know, when you were a baby, I crushed Valium into your bottle? You had colic and cried for hours and hours, inconsolable and for no good reason. And change your shirt. I can see the sweat under your arms. I’m going to bed.”&lt;/p&gt;
  328. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  329. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  330. &lt;p&gt;“Have you ever heard the expression ‘eat shit or die’?” I asked. Reva unscrewed the tequila and poured more into her can. “It’s ‘eat shit and die,’” she said.&lt;/p&gt;
  331. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  332. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  333. &lt;p&gt;“Soon we’ll be old and ugly. Life is short, you know? Die young and leave a beautiful corpse. Who said that?” “Someone who liked fucking corpses.”&lt;/p&gt;
  334. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  335. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  336. &lt;p&gt;My AOL screen name was “Whoopigirlberg2000.” “Call me Whoopi.” “Call me Reva,” I&lt;/p&gt;
  337. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  338. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  339. &lt;p&gt;“There was shit all over my dick, okay?”&lt;/p&gt;
  340. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  341. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  342. &lt;p&gt;“I love you, Reva,” I heard myself say from so far away. “I’m really sorry about your mom.” Then I was gone.&lt;/p&gt;
  343. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  344. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  345. &lt;p&gt;“It didn’t happen overnight,”&lt;/p&gt;
  346. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  347. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  348. &lt;p&gt;I stepped closer to make sure there was no human-sized bloodstain, nobody wrapped up in the sheets, no corpse tucked under the bed.&lt;/p&gt;
  349. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  350. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  351. &lt;p&gt;One idiot said I was “broken by the male gaze.”&lt;/p&gt;
  352. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  353. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  354. &lt;p&gt;“You’re so skinny,” she said, between her sniffles. “No fair.”&lt;/p&gt;
  355. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  356. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  357. &lt;p&gt;She leaned over me on the sofa, kissed my cheek, said, “I love you,” and left.&lt;/p&gt;
  358. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  359. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  360. &lt;p&gt;“Today is the first day of the rest of your life! xoxo”&lt;/p&gt;
  361. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  362. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  363. &lt;p&gt;“Oh, shut up, Reva.” “I love you.” Maybe she did, and that’s why I hated her.&lt;/p&gt;
  364. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  365. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  366. &lt;p&gt;What would come later would be only airy remembrances of the thing called love she used to give me.&lt;/p&gt;
  367. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  368. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  369. &lt;p&gt;She was beautiful, with all her nerves and all her complicated, circuitous feelings and contradictions and fears. This would be the last time I’d see her in person. “I love you,” I said. “I love you, too.”&lt;/p&gt;
  370. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  426. "Why most Earth's sun be this annoying..." she muttered to herself and looked up. She was sitting on a tree stump, on the outskirts of a small human village. The sight gave her an idea, as an impish smile formed on her lips.
  427. In the blink of an eye, she entered the village unnnoticed. A yellow glint left her fingertips, a gold coin was now glued to the main path.
  428. Hiding in a nearby bush, the demoness waited patiently for a victim to fall for her prank.&lt;/p&gt;

  446.    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;The other day, I got inspired and whipped up a crystal-wrapped necklace. It was super easy, and the finished product was really cute too.&lt;/p&gt;
  447. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://postimg.cc/Lnb01GwC'&gt;&lt;img src="https://i.postimg.cc/kgJrkmcm/Wir-leben-um-zu-kreieren-1.png" alt="Wir-leben-um-zu-kreieren-1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  448. &lt;p&gt;Fast forward to laundry folding duty, I saw these little fabric pouches with good smelling stuff like little soaps and, what caught my attention, little clay balls that you saturate with perfume and it keeps your drawer smelling nice.
  449. That's when it occurred to me I could make a crystal wrapped pendant but instead of a crystal, one of the clay balls so it also keeps you smelling nice! Something like those victorian perfume jewelry.&lt;/p&gt;
  450. &lt;p&gt;I followed &lt;a href='https://youtu.be/a4tMyWXZQ48?si=YR4O6UKApPEV1_po'&gt;this video&lt;/a&gt; for the crystal wrapping part and &lt;a href='https://youtu.be/c3utGBtmQGo?si=qbB9Rq9wJDtjQeTP'&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; for the adjustable closing so i can choose how long i want my necklace to be!&lt;/p&gt;
  451. &lt;p&gt;The whole process was actually pretty easy.  I basically just followed the video instructions, but with a clay ball instead of a crystal.  I wore my creation today, and it held the scent surprisingly well!&lt;/p&gt;
  452. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://postimg.cc/tYYBp2Jh'&gt;&lt;img src="https://i.postimg.cc/BQCk5zGw/Wir-leben-um-zu-kreieren.png" alt="Wir-leben-um-zu-kreieren.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  453. &lt;h2 id=what-i-used&gt;What i used:&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  454. &lt;li&gt;Wax thread&lt;/li&gt;
  455. &lt;li&gt;Clay ball&lt;/li&gt;
  456. &lt;li&gt;Scissors&lt;/li&gt;
  457. &lt;li&gt;Pliers (to really tighten the knots)&lt;/li&gt;
  458. &lt;li&gt;Lighter to burn the ends of the thread&lt;/li&gt;
  459. &lt;li&gt;Two beads&lt;/li&gt;
  460. &lt;/ul&gt;
  461. &lt;h2 id=heres-some-tips-if-anyone-is-trying-this-out&gt;Here's some tips if anyone is trying this out:&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  462. &lt;li&gt;Wax thread. It might not be the prettiest option, but it's super strong. Plus, you can melt the ends when you tie a knot, making it extra secure.&lt;/li&gt;
  463. &lt;li&gt;If you use any other kind of thread you might need to use a little drop of glue to make knots really secure.&lt;/li&gt;
  464. &lt;li&gt;Keep the clay ball on the smaller side. Smaller means sturdier and less likely to crumble.&lt;/li&gt;
  465. &lt;li&gt;When saturating the clay with your perfume, don't submerge it for too long, as the clay may be come too hydrated and fall apart&lt;/li&gt;
  466. &lt;/ul&gt;
  467. &lt;h2 id=and-how-to-actually-use-it&gt;And how to actually use it:&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  468. &lt;li&gt;Grab your favorite perfume, essential oil (be careful, some can irritate skin!), or any other fragrance you love.&lt;/li&gt;
  469. &lt;li&gt;Soak the clay ball in your chosen scent. It'll dry super fast, but the fragrance will stick around.&lt;/li&gt;
  470. &lt;/ol&gt;
  471. &lt;h3 id=some-other-ideas&gt;Some other ideas:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  472. &lt;li&gt;Could be fun to add some macrame elements to the chain! I just used a simple thread, but there's so many options :D&lt;/li&gt;
  473. &lt;/ul&gt;

  513.    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I might be loosing my head a little.&lt;/p&gt;
  514. &lt;p&gt;This week (i think?) I started revamping my website. Working 24/7 on it has had some... &lt;em&gt;peculiar&lt;/em&gt; side effects.&lt;/p&gt;
  515. &lt;p&gt;When i close my eyes i can see my visual studio code theme. The other night i dreamt of weird html and documents and websites but personified and we were being chased by an entity that was just literally Elon Musk but in my head[^1] I knew it was actually some kind of entity.&lt;/p&gt;
  516. &lt;p&gt;And i was a blank 404 not found page for some reason.&lt;/p&gt;
  517. &lt;p&gt;[^1]:I dont know why but it took me 4 whole tries to write the word "head". Well, i guess i &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; know why. My hands must be a bit tired.&lt;/p&gt;
