Yea imagine being brought up in a world like that. People would either become expert content analysts or embrace being deluded.

Yea I mean if it sells then go for it. I'm just surprised that people at that level of narcissism are out there. Like their family are going to know the pics are bullshit if they had a real wedding or even if they faked it entirely so they're paying for something purely to pretend to strangers and acquaintances online or themselves. But maybe I should just embrace it and try to make some money out of this phenomena myself.

No overhead, no cameras.

So if he isn't taking any pictures at all he must just be getting face pics from brides and using them as part of a prompt?

Each to their own but personally I don't understand why someone would do this. To my mind the purpose of a picture is so that you can look back at something that happened in the past or show others who weren't there.

I could understand it being fun to mess around with an AI yourself and make those kinds of pics if they're the type of thing you're into. But are people getting pics like OP is making and sharing them? Hanging them on their wall? Pretending they were real? I find that quite sad.

Whack it, from the side.

Yea this actually used to annoy me with a female friend who'd come over. Other than the droplet spray issue, my cats fascinated by the water in the toilet. He generally tries to follow anyone going to the bathroom anyway to keep you company as they often do. But as soon as you open the door with the lid up he runs straight over, starts pawing at the water and very quickly ends up falling in head first.

I always wonder if he thinks his own reflection is another cat. I think that's what was going on with my last cat when he would stare at the washing machine.

Watched Ace Ventura a few years ago for the first time since I was a kid. I remembered the whole trans reveal thing. Never put together as a kid they were implying that it was part of that character being mentally ill and completely forgot about Ace and the cops freaking out after finding out.

Having "Assholes live forever" printed underneath it really isn't helping.

Released in 1984 this stereo radio cassette recorder has speakers which are moveable, removable and act as it's battery compartments.

See, I think about weird stuff.

 

Floor and tables deffo hadn't been cleaned all weekend.

 

I just re-watched TNG "In Theory" (S04E25) and Data says that the door to his quarters is set to only allow humanoids to enter or leave when Geordie finds Spot in the hall.

Whilst I get that it would be dangerous for Spot to wander the ship freely I think it's kind of mean to keep him locked in a small room like that forever. There doesn't seem to be any cat toys in the room but maybe the computer is capable of some sort of environmental enrichment we can't immediately see.

 

Lab grown meat already exists. The same processes could easily make human meat without harming the human.

I'm fairly certain this will at some point lead to a social media fad of people trying, well, people. It seems like every possible stupid action has already been turned into one at this point https://eu.app.com/story/news/world/2024/03/07/what-is-tiktok-chroming-trend/72879475007/

Onlyfans creators already sell stuff like toenail clippings and bathwater https://kotaku.com/belle-delphine-onlyfans-paypal-pornhub-bath-water-1851491916

Wouldn't be difficult to imagine people buying meat made of their favourite creator. What they do with it is between them and their god.

"Do you really want to eat Bella Thorne's ass? Well, for just $19.99 you can fry up a small part of it!"

 

Tobacco companies had to own up to the fact that smoking is harmful in the 1960s when undeniable evidence came out. People struggled to quit because it is somewhat addictive, but mainly because they enjoyed it.

Those companies then encouraged the rhetoric about it being more addictive than heroin. It isn't. In my experience it's less addictive than caffeine.

Here's my history with nicotine:

  • Smoked cigarettes from 15 - 26.
  • Quit totally for 14 months
  • My friend who smoked moved back to town and I smoked when I was with them.
  • Switched to vaping 8 years ago.
  • Quit vaping in January this year (2024).

I bought 30 cigars at the start of last month (April 2024) and have smoked 9 of them so far. I normally just have 1 a week if I'm having a beer at home but I went out drinking 2 nights in a row at the start of this month and smoked 6 over that weekend.

Am I addicted? Maybe, but I haven't had any nicotine this week and don't plan on having any next week either.
