are they tho? maybe for a quick buck. there are lots of factors. for example, unemployed ppl can consume less and pay less taxes, which is bad for the economy as a whole and can devalue the invesrments in all companies of a region.

The alternate button is to divest from AI, so they can profit from sustainable enterprises.

More pixels = more detailed ugly

Some are. Some don’t care, others think it’s funny.

also, depending on personal preference, “too far” is usually any change. it’s hard to top thousands of years of human evolution. even a cute face with a medium size scar often looks good to most ppl; better even, than the outcome of reconstructive surgery.

if you have seen the person before, you will always notice and it will be uncanny. you can even notice just botox as soon as a person speaks and it’s weird.

but it’s also a matter of taste, like a piercing, for example. some ppl will be like “nooo, what did you do to your perfect face” and others will be like “i’m into that”. the question is what ones priorities are. do they want to look well for others and if so, whom? or do they do it for themselves and it doesn’t matter if others are weirded out.

there are probably different reasons for many cases.

after i heard about an abusive guy making his partner tattoo his name all over her (news article in German https://www.20min.ch/story/niederlande-ex-zwang-joke-zu-250-hans-tattoos-am-ganzen-koerper-103548055 ), i think maybe some ppl make their partners do this to make sure they will not find another partner. i also remember cases where ppl fed their partners extra big portions in hopes of making them obese, so they can’t find another partner. but it’s probably not always the case.

maybe sometimes they are just bored and don’t care about their health and looks.

the thing is, those ppl have seen others with mar-a-lago face. it’s uncanny. still they do it. they are like “i wanna look bad and unnatural”. we have to accept that. their body; their choice.

actually it’s walter white in the OP

bro, be careful not to hurt its eyes

this was never the creepy van. hippy vans often looked like that. (but maybe creepy refers to the guy here idk)

those cables are well managed

did 4chan leak trolls again? shoo. back under your bridge.

The Ford Mollari

Nah, it’s a >30 years old joke. “Can you keep a secret” implies he is about to tell the person a secret for them to keep. The person gets excited to hear it when responding “yes”. But the last line shows it was just the setup for a joke, implying he won’t tell the secret after all.

you know there are services you can just upload a pic and they print and mail it since like 25 years or so, right?

also, depending on region, there are some local shops which do this for like soccer clubs etc. they usually also do it for just one person. you just gotta find them and bring your own article of clothing.

i did this stuff a lot when i was younger. made pics with gimp in the style of a brand, but with a pun instead of the brand name etc.

maybe we’ll get lucky and they just stop adding bullshit and one of the forks just keeps fixing vulnerabilities and adding things required for the out of control standards that ditched even version numbers lol.

the problem with left and right is that there is more than one dimension they’re being used in. for instance see the political compass.

also the most basic definition of liberal is unregulated. it doesn’t necessarily mean just economic. could be drug use or gun posession etc.

afraid to ask: did it also eliminate the mice?
