Some folk just want to go back. I'm a minimalist and am more comfortable owning less, especially in regard to anything major that can break down.

20/21. I missed the sunflower comparison.
In every other comparison there was a dead giveaway that they were AI art. Kids fingers, shape of the sun in the last image, nonsensical bouquet in the second flower comparison, the perfectly detailed deer in the Japanese scroll. There's always some aspect of AI art that looks off.

Dead giveaway for me was the deer in the bottom right of the true image. AI art just couldn't do that.

Guess this is the norm now. Last couple years has been the same story - exceptionally mild winter until suddenly it very much isn't.

Someone has to maintain the machines, and someone has to write the code. The more AI steps into the working force the more jobs like this will manifest from it.

Dude is so lonely and horny he's imagining hookers willing enough to accept money for sex with him.

I'm amazed at how many people don't think to even bring a signal whistle. Almost nothing increases your chances of being found more than a whistle that can be heard from thousands of feet away.

That's a shame he feels that way. We should have better systems in place to assist these people.

I love that the default solution is always 'tear it down!' instead of 'let's provide this man with some basic shelter somewhere else so he doesn't feel forced into this sort of act'.

The local government needs to provide adequate shelter for the homeless. Stop enabling bad behavior.

Reply to comment by TreatThompson in Ask yourself what you would do if there was no chance of failing [Discussion] by TreatThompson
Adding to this: a quote from the game Superliminal, one that resonated a lot with me and I figured was relevant enough to share.
"But, more often than not, the problem is not that the problems we face can't be solved. The problem is that we become so afraid of failure that we refuse to see our problems from a new perspective. And so we do the same thing again, and again, and again, and therein of course, we find exactly the failure we were looking for."
