It's like that Turning Point guy, where the internet is littered with shrunken face photos to the point they're inevitably going to leak into official records.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if this is what an AI model latched onto for these guys? To the point that when someone requests a picture of the Turning Point guy or JD Vance, there are so many memes that the machines factor them into requested portraits?

If you wanted to illustrate the point, you should've put his photo with the face shrunk, not the original unedited photo.

I truly lost the plot on this meme lol. How did this even start?

The babyface shops? It was just funny. Then a few days ago I think a Norwegian got turned back at the border literally because he had one of those on his phone. Apparently.

Not just turned back, he was detained and treated as if he was a terrorist before being denied entry.

Careful with that, they'll detain you trying to enter the US with contraband like this.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Jokes on you. I have no necessity to enter that cesspit.

How long do you think it'll be before they start grabbing the occasional person off the streets in other countries like Bush II did?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

From that, you can never be safe with Americans, Israelis, Russians, and the Chinese.

The best part is that people in 3025 won't know... because he won't be remembered.

Is this just how zoomer grammar looks like?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I was going to say west coast US has long used "like" as a filler word but the more i look at it the more I'm thinking where you place emphasis matters here. If emphasis is placed on "looks" instead of "this" then it could just as well be more British.

When people say "how it looks": I sleep

When people say "what it looks like": I sleep

When people say "how it looks like": real shit

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

I really like where this is going.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

The one that dude got deported over, I swear to god looks more like Notch, the dude who made Minecraft, than it does of JD Vance lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Looks legit to me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I can only hope that in that amount of time he's simply forgotten, but if not then yeah this works too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Same portrait of James Donald Bowman, who is the same person as JD Vance.

JD Vance is post-non-op-same-gender of James Donald Bowman.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

To be honest, I don't know how he looks like now. He's like a shape shifting alien
