I used to think that would be fun when I was a kid. I found certain commercials entertaining and was intrigued by the idea that someone could tell a funny story in such a short amount of time. I’ve never thought of myself as good at selling anything, but entertainment and laughter appeal to me.
A friend’s older sister was watching a Rothchild’s candy commercial in a sort of trance and said half-consciously, ‘That commercial is so cute, I’m gonna buy it.’
@peepeep was just being snarky. He copy and pasted Loki over the top of me for fun. Note There are actually 25 people who have won this badge, his list only shows 24 and Loki is out of chronological order (so it would’ve cut him off or required have A-symmetry and he got an idea to be playful and fun, knowing I wouldn’t mind or be offended). Everybody else is in chronological order and the position that I hold (October 2021) is where Loki currently is.
So it was quite literally a hack job
But fun to do the detective work to figure out how he messed with it though.
But, how dare he use a computer tool to edit an image instead of paying a human artist to paint/draw the edit for him. That took away someone else’s job they could’ve earned money to do manually with fewer computer tools, then taken an analog photo of it, developed it, etc. I can’t believe he would dare to use computers/programming to do something like this that is taking work away from manual and less efficient human work! [/False outage to imply an analogy of how using AI as a tool to do more things and be more productive is similarly okay and people will adapt and be just fine in the long run]
That’s exactly why I phrased it in that manner, because it seems like something I might do.
Now that you mention it, I did notice that the order was wrong, but until now I hadn’t looked at the alignment, which is a giveaway.
Using a modern browser’s built-in “developer tools” makes this even more trivial of a “hack job”: Just delete the entire <div> with your info and all the other content shifts nicely into place, preserving the date order an’ errthang. Easy-peasy.
Ah, the sacred code of the Nerdom, where sharing secrets is both an honor and a crime.
However, in the spirit of freeing information, I guess we all have to support [open source] LLMs now. Free it all!..uh… Except for the nuclear codes. That information can stay un-free, please.
From what I understand, I think it might be when my oldest became a pre-rteen or teenager. You know, the years when parents are no longer “cool”… Until sometime around 17-mid-twenties when they are no longer allergic to their parents anymore. I think I might be at the end of the not funny stage here anytime.
Of course, it helps that all her friends tell her that I’m really cool (even though I mostly actively avoid interacting with them). And probably helps that I make a ton of money and now that my daughter is almost an adult she’s starting to lose myopia and starting to think about the future and how she can earn a lot of money. So now I’m getting to be a little more cool [and funny] again. One of my really good friends and former roommates has been through this with all his kids and assured me back when my daughter absolutely adored me and before my daughter was a pre-rteen that we’d still go through this preteen and teenager phase to where I’d no longer be “daddy” for several years, and then sometime around 17 to mid-20s I’d suddenly be “daddy” again as long as I handled it well. Good, smart advice from that guy.
So I’ll be funny again soon. Then I have 2 toddlers, so in the coming years I’ll lose my fun/funny card again for a while. Sorry, that’s how the world works. Blame my kids.
For those that don’t know what he’s talking about, I mentioned that for Christmas I finally bought my first new TV (I’m in my mid-40s), And while it is a smart TV, it’s still some cheap brand like hivision or something.
We do plan to get a different house eventually, maybe build our own house or something. At that time we’d like to make a theater room and some other fancy stuff. But for now, we’re fine. Plus we keep reinvesting our almost all of our profits into other acquisitions or starting new businesses. It’s kind of stressful but we enjoy the game and just live extremely modestly by comparison (to our kids’annoyance).
's picture doesn’t show the Carver in that particular picture, but I can make my browser do the same thing (or something very similar) by tweaking the page with developer tools.
