  • Did they try to anonymise its origin or something? O.o

    My theory is the background sucked so they blacked it out, but also maybe took a photo of it on a phone that uses an overzealous AI tool that redrew over the existing words to make them clearer
    (TL;DR: AI upscale is the term I was looking for)

    Edit: It may have been an AI upscale of a blurry photo. Here are the results of a bad screenshot ran through my phone’s upscaler:







  • We can’t play games unless we play exactly as the developers intended (constant bug fixes, online requirement, anticheat etc. for non competitive games), but Nvidia can ensure games are portrayed differently, entirely shoving a middle finger in artists’ faces? And you raise a valid point –

    AI is trained on what, exactly, because AI filters always enhance facial definition, add makeup like shadow, blush and lipstick, and full body upscaling adds flat stomachs with abs, perfectly symmetrical D cup breasts, in this case blonde highlights are apparently more appealing than the original… It all stinks of the generic 2010’s Western white heterosexual man’s idea of the perfect woman’s body. It’s like every beauty filter is made by Jack Black’s character from Shallow Hal.






  • I am. That was likely just cruel discrimination, and preceded the radical Nazi Party, so we know that looking upon Jewish folk as lesser humans was widespread. Not, however, related to the Israeli Zionists who waged/wage war against others, often hurting their own people.

    You need to know that there’s a difference between Jews and the extremists in politics. You must not generalise, and discriminate against, regular people.



  • You say that but there’s no real evidence of a mass migration, suggesting the chase never happened. But, considering the Israelites’ goal back then was to annihilate the natives of (what was until 1948) Palestine and take their land because someone said Yahweh said they should… If they were banished they probably had it coming. Just like modern day Israelites have it coming.



  • And it was appropriated and modified by the Christians (Christianity spread so fast and dominated so much I don’t even know how, yes they colonised but how the hell did they assimilate the Romans so easily), but now it’s been a consumerist holiday more than a spiritual one for about a century. Many cultures still celebrate it the Christian way, sure, and many just utilise it to buy their loved ones material gifts and get like gifts in return, more than focus on the now largely unnecessary celebration of surviving winter, or having close social connections.
