This tracks for Affton. It's a county municipality of St Louis, MO well known for delightful barely-graduated-high-school hoosier antics. There is a good chance the truck floorboard is littered with empty airplane shots and scratch off lottery tickets.

This may very well be a tankie.

Aggressive rhetoric aimed at Dems, no open judgement on the GOP at all (unless questioned about it directly)

That all checks out.

Shit-tier truck denoting a lack of care towards aesthetics or form.

That checks out.

Outward aggression aimed at people they will never meet/who won't ever become their actual enemy.

Yep. That's a tankie-mover.

Look everyone, it's ~~PugJesus~~ definitely not PugJesus's alt account, Yeetpics, the user who won't stop whinging on about tankies, as usual using the flimsiest of similarities to...

Tap for spoilercry more about non-existent tankies.

Did you know there are actual tankies doing authentic tankie things on Lemmy that you can whine about? Or did they all block you for being such bloviating wet blanket, so now you get your wank time in by tilting at windmills?

This is an amazing window into your brain lmao.

"Everyting bad in my life is a tankie"

This is just a fucking Republican with some misogynistic bumper stickers meant to look like Democrat logos.

They kinda have an habit of going on with those rants on unrelated posts.

Service worker spit in their food? Tankie

The traffic? Tankies

The rain? Tankie weather machine

Child crossing the street in front of them? Also tankie

Really into this, but is the license plate bluriness due to JPEG compression or AI? Genuine question

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

Compression. I saw very similar "smoothing" on a zoomed in photo I took recently at home as the city sign in the background shows.

Edit: these are a bunch of turkeys that were about 50 feet away but once I zoomed into the picture the texture seemed really off.

What camera is doing this? Why would someone use this kind of enhancement? I don’t see the benefit at all — it just looks so much worse.

On another post where a web comic showed similar artifacts, I also asked the same question - and concluded that the comic's resolution was "enhanced", either by the phone itself (when they saved it from their source) or by a (re)poster. So I think that here it's the same thing - AI """enhancement""".

Is this an Android thing?

Context: Am iOS user taking photos in RAW and sometimes ProRes

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

That doesn't make sense, RAW is a file format and has nothing to do with AI enhancement. Also, RAW files are not uploadable to websites (they are, but they would look shitty), RAW is a file format that allows a greater range of adjustments at a later point for professionals (like using Lightroom).

ProRes is apparently (I googled it) a VIDEO format.

There might be phones that have shitty AI resolution enhancement built into their camera app, but most likely that's not the case here. This image just went through an AI upscaler, which is a website or an app that works on Android and iOS, but it has nothing to do with the vendor

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (3 children)

My reasoning for saying which formats I use is I’ve never seen such terrible compression. Why would anyone butcher their photos to such an extent? This is infinitely worse than just using JPEG.

From what I recall, Apple has a "pseudo" RAW format called ProRAW that isn't really RAW but just has less processing.

They love their little acronyms and anagrams it's quite weird. Also "numerlogy" aka summing and dividing the alphabetical values of words to conveniently make it spell 666 or w.e other codes they have

Someone hates the bureau of land management.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

And garden tools. Seems like they just hate land in all forms.

Seems that it would be better to spend the money on fixing his taillight instead of a custom sticker.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Kinda outdated now, ain't it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

This is an absolutely crazy ass insane person!

They should be doing the super normal thing of spreading rumors that Biden likes to get pissed on or that Harris fucks couches.

You know, totally normal and not weird shit!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

See... the thing about the piss tape rumor is that most of the rest of the Steele Dossier turned out to be corroborated elsewhere.

Which is slightly different from this 'Biden is a pedophile' claim.

Also, no one actually believes Vance fucks couches (it was just hand stuff). We say it because it upsets people like you. Looks like we succeeded.

Whoa, that sounds like a sweet ass car. Got any pics?
