Using AI to manipulate photos has unfortunately become the norm in the real estate industry, with realtors using various models to radically transform properties to the point where people just can’t trust what a property really looks like. However, in extreme cases, AI can add some truly bizarre hallucinations that not only make zero sense, but can creep out potential buyers. A Wahington DC property recently went viral on social media because of a rather unique detail – a horrifying flesh monster seemingly crawling out of the bathroom mirror to grab a flower pot on the sink. It’s the kind of thing only a hallucinating AI algorithm could create, but what boggles the mind is how the realtor posted the photo without noticing the nightmarish intruder, As the photo started doing the rounds on social media, the listing, reportedly for a property in Fort Totten, was swiftly taken down from Apartments.com, but by that time, the Internet Archive had already saved a copy of the original post featuring the creepy monster.Yup - asshoe. ----- China is still asshoe, too Bizarre Weight Loss Trend Has People Using Cling Film as Mouth Condoms for Food
There is a new viral weight-loss hack sweeping Chinese social media, and it’s a doozy. Young people are putting plastic wrap over their mouths to prevent any calories from making contact with their bodies. They then pretend to chew the food vigorously through the cling film, before taking the food out and throwing it away. The premise of this bizarre trend is pretty straightforward. The plastic wrap acts as a sort of mouth condom that prevents you from ingesting any calories, while at the same time allowing you to trick your brain into thinking that it is going to receive nutrition. This allegedly helps you feel satiated without actually consuming any caloriesGo ahead - check out the whole thing. I dare you. ----- Staying in east Asia, how about this trend in Japan? The Growing Popularity of Coffin Therapy in Japan
In Japan, a wellness practice known as coffin therapy (aka coffin-lying) has grown from a small funeral home experiment into a national trend. The idea is simple: people lie inside a coffin for a short period of time to reflect on life and mortality. What began in Chiba Prefecture as a unique service has now expanded to spas and workshops across the country. Coffin therapy involves meditating inside a coffin, either open or closed, for about 30 minutes. Supporters say the enclosed space provides quiet and privacy, allowing participants to think about their lives without distractions. While the concept may seem unusual in other countries, it connects to Japan’s long-standing tradition of kuyō, or memorial services, which encourage reflection on the fragility of life and the acceptance of death. *** A Tokyo spa called Meiso Kukan Kanoke-in offers coffin therapy sessions for about $13. Customers can choose between an open or closed coffin and may select calming music, projected visuals, or complete silence. The experience is structured to feel safe and controlled, allowing participants to explore their thoughts without risk.Who among the Horde would do this?
from thisdayinmusic.com 1965: Jimmy Page released a solo single called 'She Just Satisfies' in the UK. Page played all the instruments on the track except for the drums and produced the track, as well as singing lead vocals.
1983: Michael Jackson's Thriller went to No.1 on the US album chart. Thriller broke racial barriers in pop music, enabling Jackson's appearances on MTV and meeting with President Ronald Reagan at the White House. The album was one of the first to use music videos as successful promotional tools
2019: English drummer Andy Anderson died of cancer aged 68. He is best known for his work with The Cure playing on the singles ‘Love Cats’ and ‘The Caterpillar’.

Same reason "draw me a human" gets you the random third limb or sixth finger. AI's doesn't know what things are, they just have their training data. "Pictures of mirrors" have people reflected in them, and "pictures of bathrooms" have (partially) naked people, if they have people.
So "AI, improve this picture of a bathroom!" added some naked-person-parts to the mirror, because that's what a picture of a bathroom mirror should look like, if you're an AI with no actual intelligence, but mindless "knowledge" of what a bathroom mirror should look like.

I pointed out that, to my knowledge, the practice originated with starving peasant fisherman who sucked on sea rocks because they tasted somewhat like the fish that they were trying to catch.
"Sucks Sea Rocks" is the title of my 2nd album when it comes out.

Same reason "draw me a human" gets you the random third limb or sixth finger. AI's doesn't know what things are, they just have their training data. "Pictures of mirrors" have people reflected in them, and "pictures of bathrooms" have (partially) naked people, if they have people.
So "AI, improve this picture of a bathroom!" added some naked-person-parts to the mirror, because that's what a picture of a bathroom mirror should look like, if you're an AI with no actual intelligence, but mindless "knowledge" of what a bathroom mirror should look like.

There is a prosthetic finger you can get and wear when you do 'things'. If a camera takes your picture you can claim it is AI generated due to the sixth finger. Therefore inadmissable.

While I was a guest at the luxury boy's resort in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies, an article came out about the required space for prisoners (a federal rule, IIRC). In a 2- or 3-man room, and including some portion of the common bathroom space, we were allotted less room than required by those regs for convicted criminals. I made a thing of it at the time.

When I was a kid, parents were still citing starving people in China who would be grateful to get the food American kids didn't want to eat. (Some of the 'American' food offered was actually kind of weird and bad in my opinion. Telling me about sad sacks in China didn't change that. )
If fatass Chinese people are really sealing food into condoms and throwing it away instead of eating it, then I'm free. We're all free.

I'm still pissing through a tube, but no longer into a bag, thank all that is good and holy.
My bladder has decided that it's had a long enough vacation and will now go back on the job of forcing the piss out, rather than letting it drain out by gravity. However, it still needs to build up some strength before the catheter can come out for good. GAINZZZ!!!!!
Now instead of a bag, I've got a plug that I can pull and piss "sorta" normally into a toilet (well, except for the rubber hose and cork coming out the end of my junk). I could probably get away with using a public urinal unnoticed unless the next guy was looking a lot closer than he should.
I had two bladder tumors removed. Will have more surgery in probably a month or two to clean up any tumorish stuff that was missed, then proceed based on whether that's completely surgically removable, whether it's grown, etc. (if not, options include chemo, immunotherapy, and removing the bladder completely, which I would obviously prefer to avoid).
Sorry if that's TMI. I'm pretty happy about not having a sloshing bag of piss strapped to my leg.

Don't think Lena was trodding the Boards of Broadway back in 1882. Be a neat trick, though, as she was born in 1917.

Great news for Teresa and Milady Jo!
I don't understand why not simply lying in bed or a sofa would be the same as coffin therapy.
That and the condom for food are both retarded. Just don't eat, starve yourself, but don't do that in public!GROSS
I had an anorexic girl on my adult floor once (I guess peds was full). She bit through her lipid IV tube to avoid calories on my shift (I was not pleased but kind to her as I restarted her IV).
She had a 3" thick battered paperback of how much food in calories. After a couple of years as a charge RN, I had seen a lot. But when I walked in on rounds to meet her she took my breath away. A 15yo who looked 90yrs old. I went down to the gift shop and bought a 17 Magazine which I thought more appropriate (at the time not focused on dieting but clothes and make up).
Later that week she went into a respiratory arrest and was sent to ICU as she was persistent in no calories at all entering her body. The story was she and her mother decided to diet and she never stopped.
I think she ended up in a psych hospital. As usual I was not therapeutic with psych patients...but in my weak defense no one was with this child.

Told my husband...even if I was more gorgeous than the day he met me he'd better not do the open deal. It is with the lawyer that we'll be cremated. Now have to choose a drawer thing for both urns.Done. I sort of wanted to be shot out of a cannon.
I did note at a recent in-law atheist funeral that altho he was going to be cremated SOMEONE forced us to the open coffin ordeal. After about 3wks. I thought that bizarre and realized there are rent a coffins for this (I think I got that part right). I was a bit flipped out for a week after this.
The funeral was online and our son and DIL watched from FL. He said my husband was first in and almost knocked a wreath into the coffin. Then I arrived and argued with #2 son that I did not want to sit on the front row. He said at this point he was laughing and saying, "Oh, no" at the same time. We went to the back of the chapel. Super weird with an atheist poem.

Canada's new MAID protocol is to wrap the person in cling wrap, flip them on their stomach, and use a sledgehammer or an axe? Let the body marinate for a couple of days, then feed it into a chipper for cat food?

Now it seems like 'Judge' is reserved for the no-nonsense black woman role.
And of course Rochester on Jack Benny probably dates to the early 50's.

........................
It's called "Invictus" by an atheist poet. Since the name of God was never mentioned at their weird wedding, He wasn't mentioned at the funeral, either.
He married into a Catholic family.
The poem is dark. I read it from his obit & blanked out during he entire hideous hour or so we were there. My BIL, whom I am getting back someday, KNEW I did not want to go to the coffin. He put his arm around me & basically dragged me over there with me whisper cussing his doom. I guess people thought I was overcome with grief.
I did glance & for reasons never explained there were large Star War figures and, I think, Lego Figures in the coffin with him. He was a 35yr old guy who never worked but one job I am aware of, not heroic. Kind when I saw him but odd.
I felt a bit drugged for the event as it was so weird but was stone cold sober. I should have had a dram of Scotch prior but forgot.
Our funerals will be a Catholic Mass but with urns. I think that is ok as I am new at this, but cremation is fine and I am glad. I ain't doing the rent a coffin deal.

However, I don't like the expense or thought of the underground deal. So urns it is in a drawer in an old cemetery. We still have to pick out the drawer. I wanted a mausoleum but my husband said no. He puts up with a lot from me but does lower the boom now and then.

I had some benign things whacked and burned off my supermodel face. The derm esthetician went a bit wild, bless her, and seemed to enjoy her job. I did not know to put the numbing cream ALL OVER my face and only did on the small lumps that annoyed me. Well. The cream doesn't work that well to begin with...
For 30min I endured a walloping bit of pain all over my face and I'd better look good in two weeks vs like I have chickenpox. I plan to stay inside for days vs scaring people in public.
I saw one crazy woman in FL at TJ Maxx who'd had (I figured out) a CO2 laser with seeping wounds under the entire scabbed face. At first I blessed her heart in my mind,thinking she was a brave burn patient. Instead she was from South America on a plastic surgery tour.
My husband drove me and said I walked out to find the car in a zombie state. I have a high pain tolerance and woweee it hurt. Took a rare 2hr nap and all will be well. I don't look great at this point but I will soonish.
I will never have a CO2 laser, face lift, eyebrow lift,or silicon tire butt lift. If I go through a windshield,yes, I will seek help.

I have a horror that I may have to figure an equation out or a math world problem at the pearly gates. Hope I get options. Plus I know I will be welcomed even if I say X.

I wanted to ask if you had the Mohs surgery, hoped they got it all in spite of the pain, and wanted to know how long the doctor said you would be "restaurant ready"
Dad and an old friend had that, and they both found it not fun.

Missed a call on landline this morning, that really got me anxious: from (if it wasn't a scammer spoofing that number) a non-emergency medical transport company near Boise.
Freaked me right out and I was scared all day that BIL was gonna just show up at my door! Could still happen I guess. Ugh, what a shitshow that would be...

Thanks, but it is NOTHING. A cosmetic deal to prevent me growing a unicorn horn just above my pig nose. It was cosmetic and I inherited this deal of basically plugged oil glands from my grandmother. I never had acne to plague me as a teen so I have this. I will be fine and took 2 Advil and napped.
I was not expecting the pain. She said I did well as I didn't moan or twitch. I guess some people do a lot more than be stoic.
I pray for people like Rodrigo, whig, Teresa, etc. This is a nothing burger, but made for a different day than my usual day. My husband said I looked pretty insane and he knows I can handle pain well. I was glad he drove me vs me driving through a shopping mall and making the news.

He wasn't really Yemeni. He'd been born there, but he was one of the Jewish slaves the American Jews purchased from their King back in the '70s, and brought here.

The amateur leagues have required full face shields since around 1978. Every player in the NHL has played with a full.face shield from the first time on the ice until they went into major juniors or pro. It was just a matter of time before common sense overcame macho and inertia.

Oh, no, honey. I am sadly familiar with MOH's. Four yrs ago I had what I thought was a clogged pore on my nose. Basal cell. The MOH's doc took so much off I needed plastic surgery. Met that doc that afternoon and the next morning he carved me like a pumpkin.It was horrific, my husband took great care of me, and now you can only see the scars if you look for them.
I also had an early melanoma 26yrs ago on my shoulder from baking in the sun swimming for most of my life. That was a wide excision and caught early.
This was my last hurrah of getting some bumps removed and cosmetic, not cancer.. I figure when they return in 10yrs, surely I won't care at that point!

We had so much fun, years later we buried Mom's urn with the same post hole digger.
I always get asked, "how did you get the cemetery to give you permission to do that yourselves" and I have to admit that it never occurred to us to ask.

Dad coached Little League baseball for years. We buried his ashes behind the pitcher's mound on the field he coached. The next Spring the all star team from the field lost to California at the Little League World series, one game away from playing against the foreign champions. We like to think that dad had played a roll in their success.

For the facial carving after MOH's I was knocked out on stuff like for a colonoscopy, but not general anesthesia.
The cute little esthetician did ask if we were "going out to eat" after the torture. I said no, home. I rarely leave the house without mascara unless the house is on fire. So, no way am I going out to lunch looking like I'd been dragged through a rosebush.

"Arctic Monkeys’ Matt Helders at 16 – he left school and spent his savings on a drum kit stored in Alex Turner’s garage"
https://tinyurl.com/57en3xb6
So I went looking for an example to link in this post, and I remembered that this one had some really epic drumming:
Arctic Monkeys - The View From The Afternoon (Official Video)
youtube.com/watch?v=PeQAZsyucbQ
So then I'm reading the comments, it's the first song on their first album, perfect, and then I get to this:
"@keithmartin7545
4 years ago
I worked on the casting for this video and drummer is not model ,but street cast real drummer who was actually reluctant to appear being a musician himself with own band .Thank god for our very persuasive Director ,Wiz and an amazing performance by Adam ."
Screw it. I'm not looking for another example for you guys. The business side of the music business is weird, man.

Ha! I ain't going anywhere. Well, I have to go somewhere Monday morning and meet a stranger and told her I won't look so good.
"I was hunting with Dick Cheney" is about right. Buckshot face. My late brother would give me a name and my other one probably will along with sons. My life is torture so what's a few spots?

My husband is 80, he is very sick and not going to be here much longer.
You know what would be great for him?
If people would come here while he is still alive to visit and relive the memories of the past.
So fuck the Showing up because funerals are for the living.

That's a cool story. I want my urn to be next to my husband's urn. In a drawer. We better not be in two drawers, but that's something to find out this year. At least we have stuff on paper.
My grandmother and her widow lady neighbors had their plans down to ever detail. One neighbor lady in the '70's laid herself out in her attire and had someone take a Polaroid. We laughed. We are not going that far.
My mother is 95yrs old and I think has it all spelled out for us in detail. We are a non-open casket family, which baffles people and we don't much care!

I recorded a cheery little movie with Gregory Peck from the 1950's called 'On the Beach'. I'll watch a little of it before turning in....
Maybe it'll cheer me up a little...kinda like Frankie and Annette Down Under....
