I was actually surprised Up was not mentioned to be inspired by this anywhere on this page. (Unless I missed it or it’s actually unrelated)

It was supposed to be Space travel. Flying cars. Automatons and lasers. Deep sea robots that could explore any shipwreck and show us the animals of the deep. Nanobots and cancer-cures.

We were promised the world would be ready for millenials to get into every field and make the differences they wanted to be, and so much more, as Dragons hoarded all the money and chopped the legs out from every ladder.

Generally I think this has something to do with average age of model trained vs age of depicted person. Humans have large heads proportional to their bodies in youth and then averages out. On top of this another commenter mentioned art. So many anime/cartoon characters have larger heads to show the expressions and in turn show a youthful nature in these characters.

Another addition to this is, as another poster stated, the angles of these photos makes a larger head more apparent, probably because we associate larger heads with intelligence, and so poses have just developed to make that appearance.

Similar to “the average number of arms is less than 2 because there’s greater chances there will be people with zero or one arm, rather than an extra”. Your model will draw on its wealth of samples where the head is disproportionately larger, instead of proportionate - because it was probably fed more photos of hat age range and doesn’t know any different. You asking for AI to give you a person like Trump (78) will show that disparity in head size more than if you ask for Greta Thunberg (21)

A spoiler tag for a book series that ended in 1956 is wild lol

I want to come home to this place. This time. I recognize no era was perfect but this kind of place was so much more than the sum of its parts. A home that was comforting in its existence, unlike the bland gray/brown/beige rectangles that comprise every business and apartment now. Thick carpet that hid untold amounts of pet hair and cigarette ash. Wallpaper that, while gaudy, was so durable it could remove the Sheetrock under it if you were careless. A TV that, while shit, was a family gathering after dinner.

But others may have a different experience and I wouldn’t fault them.

An argument I heard, and adopted is that it’s never “just” cosmetic. Your enjoyment of the game is impacted by how you perceive your avatar. This is why fortnite skins sell so well to new players. It’s not just cosmetic to drop $20 on Cuddle Team Leader. It makes a user feel silly and increases enjoyment running around as an obvious pink mascot costume. It prolongs how long you play both by increased enjoyment, and sunk cost fallacy. In any game with cosmetics, purchases drive playtime.

It’s fly as hell?

I like nearly every song on American Idiot. I recognize they had a body of work before, but this was my first CD, so it was something I listened to over and over. It seems so unusual to me buying other CDs through the years (in general) and finding out only 1 or 2 songs of the 13+ was ever famous. Contrasted to American Idiot with at least 4 major songs on it. (American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday, Wake me up when September Ends), it made me feel like the disk was even more special for that.

It is the only CD I have replaced multiple times due to scratching from age - I’m on my fourth CD. I take better care of them than I used to, so it will be one I will always have, even as physical media fades.

I liked Wake Me Up When September Ends for the sound way back when, but now I like it for how it speaks to loss and how we heal over time, but never forget.

Thank you for this, it has been added to the archive

I wish to exercise my right to an attorney and my right to remain silent.

I will be hazed if I say my first choice. So I’m just gonna go with BBQ chicken, with thick crust filled with cheese.

The shitty thing is that they take down the Halloween decorations to put them up like excuse me I fuckin need those - disposable stuff gets bought the month of, not 3 months out.I throw a Halloween party but I don’t have room to put all that consumable stuff around my apartment for months in advance.

That shit stale as fuck now.

Is the Fahrenheit in the room with us right now? It’s not real. Fahrenheit is an illusion that was made up.

My catchphrase when driving has become “It’s always a fucking pickup”

I know I do

When I go out I have to check my pockets for my Whale Sculpture 1200-600 Chumash culture

Dickfish hate this one simple trick!

There it is, the fish we joke swims up your dick.
