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

Don’t run URLs piped via cURL into a shell without at least reviewing the remote document first.

civil unrest is perfect. they can just arrest the protesting civillians and put them to work in the for profit prisons, leaving only compliant civilians. win-win.

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.

ok

AFAIK multiple ppl died stowing away in the wheel compartment. So yeah, that’s not impossible.

Also, chartering or piloting your own small plane should bypass that, often.

they fly a lot internally, also. sadly, they’re not exactly known for good railway.
