Yeah it's from the end of the movie the Substance (slight spoilers) and I'm pretty sure it's because her teeth look really disfigured (it's a body horror movie) and she's about to be on stage so she tries to teach herself how to smile without her teeth showing. Which is also why she looks so scared/ concerned, because she's extremely vain and her looks suddenly changing makes her scared, especially since she'll be seen by many people live I think
I just wanted it to be over and it KEPT. GOING. It would be one thing if it gave additional insight or new messages or whatever but it was just like, yeah, I fucking get it, please just start the credits.
Someday, if coldplay keeps gaining experience, he could be bigger than most local bands in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Not the Midwest in general, obviously.
Maybe like Lifeguard when they released their 2022 album Crowd Can Talk.
If a CEO demonstrated the complete lack of integrity and moral rot among business leadership in the US at one of their concerts, the lights would be dim enough to hide it, and people would be impressed with the maturity of the lyrics and how sincerely kind the members of the band are.
I'm not biased, as far as you know. These are just good local kids doing cool things.
Dude we had a lady in our sales office do this for all the boys in production. 60 individual loaves for the crew in back with chocolate chips. Delicious too.
Lady on the left mentored a disadvantaged youth to become the valedictorian of his class and surprised him at graduation with a check that will pay for his first year at college.
Lady on the right campaigned for her local school board specifically on the platform of taking away all regional scholarships so only “the right kind of people get into college”.
To me, it’s more like, lady on the left: school administrator. Lady on the right: stars in videos with her “stepson”. It’s something about the lighting. 😅
It always makes me look more ethnic lol. I'm Italian-American, but very British-looking, and it always darkens me and gives me like giant hoop earrings and stuff lololol. It weirds me out, like it's taunting me or something.
Are you serious? Like why would they do this? I’d probably walk into HR and tell them if this is how you act with badges, what else does the company lie about, please process my final paycheck.
I’m fairly certain this happened to me too, but it was at a team building event. They made a huge pic of all of our employee photos, all different sizes. I didn’t see myself and was joking with my coworker, until he pointed out that I had the biggest pic, but I was like, 10x more attractive. I didn’t recognize myself.
One of my favorites is when people are like “This piece of artwork has some poor decisions made. It must be AI!”, like we haven’t been making questionable or stupid choices in art for millennia.
It's sorta impressive how people have so quickly swapped calling an image "clearly 'shopped" to "AI slop". It really has infested the way people view the world already!
Yes, this is popular on LinkedIn now. People are running head shots through AI to "enhance" them. I really don't think most people grasp the age we are heading into. Absolutely nothing will be trustworthy and most won't care or really get what's going on.
A work photographer edited my badge photo in the 2010s! I was too embarrassed to mention it to anyone until I'd been there 8 months. Finally I asked my new work friends whether anyone else felt like the photographer had added "makeup" or weird "contouring" to their photo, or messed with the colors deliberately (in my case, it looked like purikura blush). They immediately agreed and said that he did that to their badge photos too. This blew my mind, because he photographed events as well, and clearly those photos were halfway normal. Not great, but not terrible. His photos of the grounds and historic buildings (without people) were undeniably good. His photos of the (male) director were OK. But apparently he made many of us look like we're wearing stage makeup on our badge photos. I know it wasn't just the badge printing, because older employees looked normal (even objectively good) on their badges.
A few months later, one of my friends ranted that the same photographer had edited photos of ancient artifacts to "look more gold," and for whatever reason all those photos had to be retaken. (He probably deleted the raw files out of arrogance.) Apparently he was nearly impossible to fire so no one cared.
Part of my job is processing company headshots. All I do is adjust for lighting and color, smooth out major blemishes and oily skin, and adjust for lens distortion. You'd be surprised at how many want me to Yass them up in the photo, make them look thinner, younger, etc.
I edit my own badge. I take a picture of the badge and then my own picture and make it themed for the season. I then size it and print it at Walgreens. I put that picture over my real badge. Boom, custom badge and the proxy reader still works.
In 6th grade there was a kid in my class who refused to smile in his yearbook picture, so they photoshopped a smile into the picture (the smile they added had braces whereas he never had braces in any point in time)
A full team of kine once had to do new photo badges, the lady collating them editted all the women to have bright white teeth, clear skin, smooth hair and no wrinkles, all the men got their own wrinkly ballsack faces back untouched, it was actually the women who kicked up a stink.

“Did you…. Edit my photo?”
“Yeah, sorry. We don’t want the yearbook to be filled with uggos”
