More recently introduced was a raccoon - another rabies vector animal. And the test for rabies becomes mandatory when you are bitten by any vector animal. You can’t “know how to handle a squirrel” if you aren’t the favored person who feeds it - it’s a wild animal that had become accustomed to the owners presence at best. Raccoons and squirrels can legally be pets in some states, but NY is not one of them.

The guy was wrong. End of statement. There’s avenues to keeping the squirrel (Google mentions a wildlife rehabilitation type job/permit that takes some months to earn that he could have done) It just keeps getting twisted because “the police did a thing” crowd, and also “oh the silly cute squirrel” crowd. Yes it was a silly cute squirrel and yes cops do bad shit - but this was on him for not moving to a place that would let him keep these animals.

Ah thank

(I have no idea how to make a video post I’m sorry)

It’s wonderful I’m stealing shit left and right

I missed one day due to some…personal reasons, the goal is to have enough memes next year to hit all 3 memes- .ml, .world, and lemmyshitpost

I can see how it would get to 5K including games over a long enough period of time but realistically most hobbies accrue cost over time.

Small beginnings

Ooo thanks for this, I didn’t know I had an edited version

I think depending on the story or culture, the flickering lights and stuff was generally either an attempt at communication with the living to help the ghost - or to instill fear so people would make irrational choices and accidentally die

It was a fun show to have on in the background. I thought of it too when I saw this lol

Generally I think this has something to do with average age of model trained vs age of depicted person. Humans have large heads proportional to their bodies in youth and then averages out. On top of this another commenter mentioned art. So many anime/cartoon characters have larger heads to show the expressions and in turn show a youthful nature in these characters.

Another addition to this is, as another poster stated, the angles of these photos makes a larger head more apparent, probably because we associate larger heads with intelligence, and so poses have just developed to make that appearance.

Similar to “the average number of arms is less than 2 because there’s greater chances there will be people with zero or one arm, rather than an extra”. Your model will draw on its wealth of samples where the head is disproportionately larger, instead of proportionate - because it was probably fed more photos of hat age range and doesn’t know any different. You asking for AI to give you a person like Trump (78) will show that disparity in head size more than if you ask for Greta Thunberg (21)

I uh…those gotta look like F1 slicks by now right

Third shift hit different

Michaels got their whole lineup out, porcelain figures and village. Home Depot out here already trying to sell me a Christmas tree.

Then you won’t get the reference or be spoiled. That’s why I didn’t need to spoiler it.

Your taste is your own.

I understand the problem of it being slow for a lot of people, but I was working long hours where the days ran together so it was like one episode a day and then bed, so it all kind of made the months go by faster and bearably.
