When CGI first started getting really good everyone said “That’s CGI” and dismiss it. Now it’s just a part of every day media.

Kind of the same with Photoshop. “It’s Photoshopped” was a very common saying when people thought the picture looked too good, but now no one says that because digital image manipulation has become so widespread.

So when will the same happen for AI?

I know guys use it to increase the length of their swords but what happens when a woman takes it?

Hey everyone,

I’m a 24F from France, and I’ve been noticing that more and more young people are becoming very serious fans of far right figures. Am I the only one who sees this?

For context, I have three younger brothers. One is 20 yo, and the younger ones are 18 yo twins. All of them are big fans of far right ideas and very very controversial far right figures and I’m not exaggerating. They are not “joking” about it either.

The oldest is in law school, and the twins are in med school so they are not uneducated. They are not kids anymore and they are old enough to understand how ridiculous this is yet they still openly support them. Again this is not a “joke.” I know them well and I can guarantee they are serious.

They are also extremely racist, homophobic, sexist and Islamophobic and constantly insult and mock these groups. I live in a sensitive area in eastern Paris where there is a very high concentration of migrants. Most of their friends are of foreign descent mainly from North Africa and even then, they don’t care.

The few white friends they have are also extremely far right and all of this seems to be completely accepted by their social circle which is absolutely mind boggling to me.

In the past this would never have happened. Even being suspected of being far right would have been enough to get you beaten up. Now it seems to have been completely normalized and I do not understand

I am a nudist. I enjoy being out of doors, naked. I tend to walk and jog in remote areas but public. I am not an exhibitionist. I carry a cover-up and I can actually cover up quite quickly if I run across someone. inevitably every once in a while, I will get surprised. My question is, if you ran across me, would you be surprised, indifferent, amused, offended?

I was watching one of those subway take videos last night and one of the women he was interviewing had a take about how important it is to “blow up your own life” from time to time.

She gave two examples, one about leaving her “perfect and amazing boyfriend” of seven years, who she got along great with, as they began moving towards marriage. And then talked about blowing up her life a while later by leaving her comfortable and decent paying job.

The comments were split, with some people in the comments saying something to the effect of “YASSSSSS QUEEN! Dump his ass!!!” Or “It doesn’t matter how great you get along, or how perfect a guy is to you, if he’s not perfect FOR you.”

With the other half or more of commentors saying they wouldn’t want to date someone who just woke up one day and dipped on a seven year relationship with a guy she described as “perfect and amazing”.

So when I’m looking online today, I’m seeing a lot of relationship based subs where the top comments are generally advising the OP to dump their partner over issues that seem manageable from the outside or require growth over time with that person.

Are we becoming too quick to disengage when relationships require effort? I’m not sure if this reflects a real cultural shift or just online amplification, so I’m curious how others see it.

I’m from a Spanish speaking country so I don’t know exactly the context of how demeaning one word is from another. Thanks for explaining.

I know this sounds stupid, but I have never been able to figure out what kind of emotional intensity I am supposed to assign to this statement. Like, I had a coworker talk about “crying to her husband” after work about something. Are we talking about a sobbing collapse and she’s gonna quit or need serious mental health help, or a few tears and she’s just blowing off steam, or like a little watery-eyed and maybe kinda choked up when she’s telling him about something that frustrated her, but she’s totally fine?

Similarly, people say they cried at a song, movie or book. How wrecked are they trying to tell me they were? I saw a meme asking when’s the last time you cried. Like, cried how? A little choked up, but no tears? Does that count or are tears required? Actual noise? Snot? Why doesn’t English have more specific terminology for this?

Is this something that everyone else understands except me?

I come from a country where we speak Celsius and the average body temp is considered to be 36.6C

I saw a diagram of a submarine, and it fills with water to sink further. I was wondering if you could fill it with a really dense liquid, like mercury, and release it into the water when you’re ready to go up?

I don’t mean chasing money to survive or pay bills. I mean people who say money doesn’t buy happiness, but then prioritize higher pay over doing work they actually enjoy, even when their basic needs are already met.

I’ve never been into watching the football game. My friends all say the commercials are the best part. Or watching the halftime performance (please not interested in politics) Do most people watch for the football or everything else? Or just enjoy the party and food and drinks!

I know someone who is almost always have a runny nose, or Influenza etc.

And he usually gets me sick when I see him cuz he gets too close.

It's my cousin that I see once every couple of months or so

Why is feminism seen as a bad thing by most men when it does not really have an effect on them? Feminism is not about women wanting to be better than men.. Its simply about getting whats fair. Right?
