Sounds like special effects or a stunt double.
I think it depends more on the ethics of the data used for the training set.
- Comment on I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned? 2 days ago:
You don’t think meta and xhitter are weaponizing algorithms for Republicans? They might not be the whole government, but they are now in power after coordinating their hate filled messaging and misinformation.
- Comment on I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned? 2 days ago:
Just like meta and shitter are doing.
- Comment on May not be the right place but here it goes. One of my brothers passes or get extremely tired if he sees porn. Even a sex scene in a movie he has to go lay down. Is there something wrong with him? 4 days ago:
There could be a blood pressure issue going on when he is aroused. He should see his PCP about it and go from there.

20 years ago it would have been considered a farce!
- Comment on Why is Tesla market cap so high ? 6 days ago:
They don’t buy out all the shares, just a controlling interest or whatever they call it.
- Comment on Why is Tesla market cap so high ? 6 days ago:
The expectation that someone else will purchase it at a price it is being offered at.
Which is a hilarious extrapolation since all shares being offered at the same time (total market cap) would cause the ‘value’ to dive bomb.

- Comment on Dunkin' added achievements to their mobile app 6 days ago:
Plus they jack up the default menu prices so the only way to get a comparative price to what existed before the ‘discounts’ is to use the app and be engaged.

People like jokes.
- Comment on Career tip #345 1 week ago:
That post extrapolated a possible new tangentsl meaning by taking the concept based on actual common trends of wearing beanies to an extreme by applying it to different a head covering and was obviously a joke. That was fun!
You inserted meaning that wasn’t there by speculating that the ‘real’ joke was something not even pictured or relevant to twist the joke into something negative. While there is a ton of shitty stuff out there this is not one of them.

“No added sugars”
“No added salt”

Yup, no cyanide would fit right in.
- Comment on Not pictured is green skittles. The lime citrus flavor nor that awful green apple one. There is a reason skittles switched back. 1 week ago:
The old regular skittles before they added all the wacky versions and changed away from lime.
I’m not a fan of sour stuff, but the sour apple by themselves were fine as far as sour candy goes. They clashed with the other flavors.
- Comment on How to take CPU out? 1 week ago:
It should come out easy enough that a loop of tape around your finger pressed to the back of the cpu should let you lift it right out.
Wipe the back with rubbing alcohol to get the tiny bit of adhesive and you shoukd be good to go.

I love that your criteria for being dead is that you don’t like it.
- Comment on Not pictured is green skittles. The lime citrus flavor nor that awful green apple one. There is a reason skittles switched back. 1 week ago:
It wasn’t bad by itself, but it was so far away from the rest of the flavors that it was jarring. I loved just mixing any of the flavors by squishing two skittles together and chewing them up. Lemon lime, orage lime, and the rest were awsome.
Then here comes sour apple like a turd in the punch bowel!
- Comment on Not pictured is green skittles. The lime citrus flavor nor that awful green apple one. There is a reason skittles switched back. 1 week ago:
I didn’t know skittles had switched back as they have been dead to me since sneaking in that awful fucking sour apple surprise bullshit.
- Comment on Is it wrong to not have a disabled child solely to avoid forcing the child to suffer their whole life? 1 week ago:
Depends on the disability.
Not having a child based only on the child being deaf (who shouldn’t really suffer, but could if never given support) is very different than not having a child because they have something that will cause them immense pain and a death within days or weeks of being born. Then there is a massive spectrum between the two.
It depends, but some a child can also suffer for their entire life if they are born healthy but abused and neglected there will always be reasons for having or not having a child. Having the choice whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term is the important thing, and being denied that choice is wrong.
- Comment on Why it redownloads files that are rendered in my app\browser? 1 week ago:
If the system isn’t built to move it from memory to the disk then it isn’t easy to just move it over. The browser might have the file stored in a way that makes it easy to stop and fastforward or even allow it to play or partially load,. Trying to save a file that might be incomplete is far more complicated than a good old reliable direct download.
Think of it like orange juice. The browser may have stored it in a wide shallow bowl because that works better for the browser, but it would be a pain in the ass to pour into a small cup. Much easier to just pour a new cup of orange juice when it is in an expected format.
- Comment on Why it redownloads files that are rendered in my app\browser? 1 week ago:
Easy for the browser to lookup and fetch, not necessarily the process of writing permanently to the disk.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus fixed a CGI issue for the home video release 1 week ago:
I assume this doesn’t include streaming as the scenes they are referencing looked absolutely janky as hell when I watched it on hulu.
Even if they fixed the effects...
There was no need to have that specific model in this film, it was lame nostalgia bait since it wasn’t literally the same character. They have already had multiple models across the movies including a new one in Romulus, so it didn’t add anything since the characters are unaware of the events of the first movie.
- Comment on For a group that considers .world to be Reddit 2.0 and a "CIA propaganda front" they seem to get awfully mad whenever it comes up 1 week ago:
The News community did because it promoted violence or whatever their reason was, but there were tons of pro Luigi posts and comments in the memes communities that I don’t remember being deleted. It was not a .world wide thing.
- Comment on They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone 1 week ago:
Or the government uses web indexes to find sites that include LGBTQ+ content and blocks them automatically.
- Comment on Disgusting money driven mindset 1 week ago:
A CEO accusing someone else of having a money driven mindset sure is something.
- Comment on Who benefits from the "14 Min Read" estimates popping everywhere? 1 week ago:
It gives a rough idea of article length without needing to scroll down. Like remaining time on a video.
If it is a topic I’m interested with a two minute read time there probably isn’t anything of value beyond the headline. If I don’t really care and it is a 30 minute read time, there is a high likelihood that I will lose interest before finishing.
Since I read pretty fast, the estimates tend to be higher than it actually takes, but it still gives me something to use to determine whether I want to start reading.
