Would you kindly share your thoughts on profiles that are predominantly comprised of AI generated images? The reason I ask is that there has been a referral to the Evaluation Panel for the deletion of Evlin303. I believe I have an understanding of your tolerance toward members that post internet pics so it would be great to have an understanding of what your opinion is with regard to AI generated images. Thank you.
The images appear to be real as i used a ceiling light fixture to compare images on several. The videos,appear to be AI for sure, using info from stills found in earlier postings. NO way those things would fit in that woman and she maintain that smile.
This site was created for people to post their own images and videos. I am ONLY tolerant of internet images because, if I weren't, many members would end up reporting each other over memes and tributes. Most people here cannot (or pretend they cannot) understand the difference between those and third-party porn taken from internet. I know this from experience - I've tried explaining fair use concept many times with little success. Therefore, I must tolerate internet images, as long as a member doesn't make a habit of posting them predominantly or pretend they are personal.
The same reasoning largely applies to AI content. I cannot forbid it completely because people might use AI-generated memes or apply fantasy-style modifications to their own photos and videos. That is a form of art, so a complete ban isn't feasible. However, if I see an account that predominantly posts AI images completely unrelated to their own, I will delete it.
That said, I barely look at the uploads on this site. I built it for you - the members, so you can collectively decide what kind of content belongs here. Please stop asking for my opinion and using it as an argument against other members.
I think that there should be zero tolerance for Internet or AI photos or videos for free theme image contests. If I saw one that was obviously not the contestant I would ask the creator of the contest to consider this for deletion from his or her contest.
I agree. I think I have three or four photos in my profile that were enhanced or created for me by Vita and moeJoe and in all of them I credited them for their artwork. I have never posted an Internet photo that I alleged to be me or my friends. I just don't think this is the place for it. Maybe I'm just a purist (without really awesome Photoshopping skills).
Well the older i get the grouchier I get during the holidays.
All this hopping around smiling and dancing and spending small fortunes on useless trinkets and being reminded of how much of my famly is dead and gone, just seems appropriate for my mood.
NOw if they come out with a Scrooge Meal, I will damn sure get 1!
Yea, nothing beats walking out the door in the morning and busting your ass walking on ice! A family member is talking of moving to north dakota soon if he gets a job that was offered to him. I am thinking, "you idiot".
The Walton’s got nothing on you! Wouldn’t it be nice if during the 2025/2026 winter season for you to update and post more photos of snowfall taken on Graff’s Mountain? Just sayin’………
I don’t blame you one bit I took Marcy to work in the snow the other morning and the roads were terrible I’m glad I’m not out in it all day doing road calls and towing
I have found since I don't have to drive on the snow crapped roads on purpose that the few times i chose to , it was miserable and i was OUT of practice.
I visited the ATM at the local bank yesterday to grab some much needed cash. The nearest Bank of America is probably 27 miles away so I use this out of network bank that is less than 2 miles. Because I’m out of network there’s a $5.00 service fee but that’s okay, my bank reimburses me.
A friend, in Michigan has an upcoming birthday and shopping for the “perfect gift” is too stressful so as you may have guessed, I send cash. This ATM only dispenses 100’s, 20’s, 5’s and 1’s but I’m sending 50. On special occasions my paternal grandmother would sometimes gift my sisters and me money and that currency would ALWAYS BE crisp paper bills. This tradition has been imprinted in me for a hundred years and I need a $50.00 bill. I trot into the bank, stand in line, the teller motions when it’s my turn and when I get to her window, I explain that I want a $50 bill in exchange for these random bills dispensed from THEIR ATM. She asks whether I have an account with them, and I don’t, they are unable to accommodate my request. I explain that I just charged a $5.00 service fee at their ATM…..After a bit of conversation, she reaches out to her superior who after touching and visually inspecting the cash, approves the “transaction”.
Can anyone explain why something so seemingly minor is such a major production?
I trot into the difficult to buy for so I send her money
It has been many years ago that I took cash from an ATM, but I can remember that I used an option sometimes to select the bills that it pays out. ChatGPT found some information about several major U.S. banks that have ATMs that let customers select the denomination of bills when withdrawing.
Chase Bank — Some “denomination-select” or “smart” Chase ATMs let you choose how your cash is split (e.g. $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 bills).
PNC Bank — PNC has upgraded many of its ATMs to allow denomination choice, sometimes including smaller bills like $1 or $5.
Bank of America — Some of their ATMs (especially at larger/ metropolitan branches) reportedly support choosing between different bill denominations (e.g. $10, $20, $50, $100).
Wells Fargo — At certain upgraded or branch-location ATMs, mixed bill options (beyond just $20s) are sometimes available.
27 miles away is a bit far to get the desired bills from an ATM.
I would suggest finding a small store and exchanging the money there.
They are usually happy with smaller bills, because they can use them for change.
My girlfriend is on friendly basis with two shop owners. She sometimes exchanges
change for big bills with them, specifically to help them fill their cash register.
It depends on the business. Some get small bills all day from customers, overloading the cash register, requiring them to take trips to the bank to get rid of them. Those businesses wouldn't like you asking to exchange your small bills for their big bills. One of the shop owners my girlfriend knows has a souvenir shop. She often has pretty rich tourists paying with big bills for a small item, requiring lots of smaller bills in the cash register.
Heres the real kicker. You go to the bank to draw out some cash. You take a 100 dollar bill to the service station to fill up your truck that is usually about 80 bucks, They take a marker and check the bill. IF by some chance it is fake ,guess what, you are out of a 100 bucks and the bank is NOT responsible for handing you a fake bill. They do not check the cash for authenticity at the bank!
AI generated, the back door of that hearse never opened, that is part of why tick tok videos are so small ,so you can't zoom in to see details. But if you watch closely, that didn't happen
There was no casket in the car , you can see thru the rear glass, the casket shown is wood, the car "hit" it ,flexing the hood, that casket would have flown all to shit had it hit the vehicle it is shown to hit or if the car hit it either 1.
There is software that people have on their cell phones that allow them to make a short video,and then have AI modify it. I was shown a video of my camper bouncing all around a camp ground tipping over large desiel pushers and other trailers and knocking down trees. Never happened, looked real though until you saw the bottoms of the trailers and such,blank,black no detail.
so take these videos with a grain of salt,

This was the time of year I loved as a child and had a love/hate relationship with during my working years. Yes, as a working adult I LOVED the amount of paid time off we received yet I DESPISED the amount of stress created due to fewer work days and this being the end of the fiscal year. I LOVED that folks were generally in good spirits yet DESPISED that this time of year because I went to work in the dark and came home in the dark. Holidays, you either love ‘em or not but you can’t deny, during this time of year we serve and consume some great food and drink.
This question is asked after Thanksgiving but prior to Christmas and New Year, what is the “traditional” meal served in your household?
Thanksgiving is easy for me to describe, it was turkey with stuffing, yes, seasoned bread stuffed into the turkey cavity which included some prunes, mashed potatoes, green beans, my mother would make a side dish using canned yams that she “doctored up” with brown sugar, cinnamon and various spices. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD why this dish was always included because it was so WRONG! There were buttery rolls and because it was the holiday, butter not margarine was on the table. Cranberry sauce, I preferred the cranberry sauce with the berries rather than just the plain gel and for dessert, pumpkin pie with whipped cream and mincemeat pie. As a child my ears and eyes made no sense out of something that was called “mincemeat” but truth be told, it didn’t taste “that bad”, it just looked like a hot mess.
So what is or was a traditional holiday meal in your home?
sweet taters are always on the table when i eat with my family.
Along with deviled eggs!! I don't like the berrys in cranberry, i just like the sauce in flat round slices.
So was turkey served? I like sweet potatoes however I’m good with just a bit of butter and seasoned with salt and pepper. Why are freaking marshmallows necessary? Marshmallows are ONLY FOR CAMPFIRES!
True, Me neither but i am willing to bet your woman would slap the shit out of you for a million! I know had i married that nut case i was dating, she would have shot me for a hamburger, just not in the dick, she liked it to much
What do you think about self driving cars? I’m going to say I AM SKEPTICAL about them! As far as I’m concerned, things are good until they’re not, right? They’re only a machine and machines break. What happens when a self driving vehicle has a tire blowout? What happens to a self driving vehicle in the event that some ninnyhammer in another lane makes an unforeseen lane change?
In the video, there are two mature gentlemen in the back seat and in awe of the technology. One pointed out that the self driving vehicles will be helpful in the event that their driver’s license are revoked (due to age).
Is anyone able to explain what the need for the lighted beacon on the top of the car?
Thank you for your response but would you please clarify what is meant by “supervise”?
Does supervise mean that someone be present in the driver’s seat? I believe that in the State of Texas, self driving vehicles are on their roads and serving as “cabs”, UBER, etc . If my understanding of Texas and self driving vehicles is correct, then my guess is the fares are sitting in the back seat or in the passenger seat as the woman in the video was.
In Florida the means driver still must be in drivers seat and ready to take control of vehicle at all times. Most of the self driving EVs like Teslas have a camera that watches the driver to make sure he is looking at road and not on the phone or sleeping
Thank you, that’s very interesting! I’m a “snowbird” and have been in Florida since October 9. Based on the amount of traffic and cars, driving in and around Fort Myers is super stressful for me and having a driverless vehicle behind me or next to me would scare the ever lovin’ crap outta me!
Sorry for late response I just noticed this. Well that was my thought on the matter also until I test drove one and realized the cars 360 degrees of cameras and sensors plus the driver is probably safer than the average Florida driver
Okay, so in Florida the driver must be seated in the driver’s seat and the Tesla is equipped with cameras that monitors the the person in the driver’s seat to sure they’re not on their phone, sleeping, reading a book, engaged in amorous activities, etc……. WHY BOTHER CHOOSING SELF DRIVING/AUTO PILOT?
It is the precursor for the unsupervised version. Because the car drives and navigates on its own the driver can focus on looking out for hazards. But… when you say it like that I realize how poorly I’m selling it
Gee, so Alexa listens to my conversations in my home so I should want to dash out and get behind the wheel of a vehicle that watches what I do? OH HELL NO!
I agree, Back when i was in college several of us were scribbling designs for passive warning systems and what not to help make driving safer, but to allow the machine to operate it's self, eh, nope, not ready for that.
Now some will argue that planes have auto pilot. Well, there are no ditches and stuff up there and no wheel alignment to be off and let the car go off track and etc. Alot of variables with a car,are just not there with a airplane.

Although the article said something about “free socks”, the $15.xx receipt screams otherwise.

I hardly remember ever eating a marshmellow.
So I’m asking YOU whether you would punch your spouse, partner or significant other in the face for 1 million dollars?
