And a lot of the people they call 'beta males' are probably having a more active sex life than they are. I'm as unmanly as you get- I don't like sports, I'm not into action movies or guns or knives or anything related to those things, people being loud and raucous make me highly anxious, I'm into all sorts of esoteric stuff when it comes to music and TV and film, I love nerd discussions and I cry when I'm sad. I may possibly even "cry liberal tears" in their worldview.
And yet I've also been happily married for over 24 years.
So I guess I'm cool with being a beta male.
Edit: I forgot to add that I don't like beer in my list of 'ways I'm a beta male.'
"The queers are gonna molest your kids! That's what all this sexuality talk is code for! Anyway, Donald Trump's an alright dude, who doesn't want to fuck their own daughter the minute they're born?"
Yeah and like all these anti-trans bathroom creeps always turn out to be doing creepy shit in the bathroom. Or the anti-porn anti-gay weirdos end up having a huge stash of it on their work computer. Geniuses the whole lot of ‘em.
On another post where a web comic showed similar artifacts, I also asked the same question - and concluded that the comic's resolution was "enhanced", either by the phone itself (when they saved it from their source) or by a (re)poster. So I think that here it's the same thing - AI """enhancement""".
Context: Am iOS user taking photos in RAW and sometimes ProRes
Edit: Maybe instead of downvoting you could explain how wrong I am. I’ve never seen this outside AI so I’m genuinely asking where these photos are coming from.
It's kind of both. A lot of modern Samsung phones do this really weird "AI Enhancement" shit to improve the look of zoomed in shots. I remember testing it out at Best Buy, taking pictures of some Blu-rays on the other side of the store with the 20x zoom option. The original photo was pretty much what you'd expect, it looked like a low-res super cropped pic, but then it applied the "AI Enhancement" and did it's best to fill in the text and price labels, and wound up looking exactly like a bunch of garbled AI text.
In nature predators know to avoid anything that's marked as poisonous in order to avoid ingesting something that will kill them. These creatures usually evolve these markings to avoid being eaten, so it's mutually beneficial.
It's kinda like that.. You don't go near these guys because you don't want anything this guy is selling, and they in turn have anyone who will ask them to have a single fucking thought in their god damn heads turn the other way. You wouldn't want this guy to think would ya? Think of the headache that'd cause his poor atrophied brain...
This tracks for Affton. It's a county municipality of St Louis, MO well known for delightful barely-graduated-high-school hoosier antics. There is a good chance the truck floorboard is littered with empty airplane shots and scratch off lottery tickets.
Yeah. Hoosier is used colloquially in St Louis to describe inconsiderate and trashy people. By 'trashy' I mean people who literally wallow in their own filth strewn properties or vehicles.
Is it classist? Yes and I don't care. I'm more of a progressive considerate redneck myself.
They love their little acronyms and anagrams it's quite weird. Also "numerlogy" aka summing and dividing the alphabetical values of words to conveniently make it spell 666 or w.e other codes they have
I don't really like the phrase "this is their whole identity". Really is just uncharitable to any person for being passionate about something.
By the same logic just as many people could be uncharitably described as "being queer is their whole identity", just because they are very vocal about it.
I think the problem is when your whole identity is rooted in fear and anger. Being vocal about LGBTQ+ issues is trying to prop up people, however this is just being crass because you've given into the paranoia and have nothing else of value to add to the conversation.
Look everyone, it's PugJesus definitely not PugJesus's alt account, Yeetpics, the user who won't stop whinging on about tankies, as usual using the flimsiest of similarities to...
Tap for spoiler
cry more about non-existent tankies.
Did you know there are actual tankies doing authentic tankie things on Lemmy that you can whine about? Or did they all block you for being such bloviating wet blanket, so now you get your wank time in by tilting at windmills?
If you're letting the stupidest speak for you then yeah, you're that stupid. This is who conservatives want speaking for them, so you're all at least this stupid.
Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible
