Might also depend on how specific you make the details. With the way I describe, even if you came across the inspirational photographs I use, in the wild, doubt you’d recognize them. If you’re getting too close, find another person’s videos—plenty of “squat” type of videos out there from others, or whatever exercise machine you’re wanting. I mean, worst case, if you have access to a gym is to do the exercise yourself with a selfie-camera… though if I tried that, think we’d lose an author here instead.

Ack! Run hide, it’s coming!

Nah, helps keep the forum lively. Much better than the spammers united. It’s totally alright to draw inspiration from real life photos & videos as a whole. If said actor is freely posting those videos themselves, public settings (ie, it’s not taken from by a jealous ex-lover or overly excited paparazzi photographer), I’d feel those are okay to reference. I’d avoid going hyper detailed, but a general “doing squats” and then “doing pullups” for the routines? A water bottle? There’s so many of those videos out there, trouble nailing it down to any specific one. For some of my originals, I’ve found… ”nature photos” of models online, used those as a loose reference from time to time, which helps with adding some fleshed out details to my characters.

I’ve got mine setup to clear most things too… logins, cookies, cache, history, etc. That’s generally a good & strong settings to have IMO.

And I typically use the main website messenger option (more formatting controls than in the popup)

Maybe. Could be an issue in the javascript and your browser version, so that’s why I listed mine. IIRC, you’re running from a public library wifi, so something might be getting filtered out? On a VPN?

Yeah, we tested out a hypothesis, but didn’t make a difference if Deadman started the conversation vs me. I’m sending successfully, he’s not. FYI, I’m using Firefox 115.0 (64-bit on Linux).
