      “After getting out of prison for a crime I didn’t commit, I was going to live with my grandpa. But he died of cancer right as I arrived and I was forced to live on the streets. One day during a freezing rain, a kind woman offered me a free house and these two $20 bills. Just goes to show that life is okay sometimes, hang in there people!”

        The midjourney image is impressive, but not good enough to stand up to scrutiny. It gives off uncanny valley vibes. I’m not an artist, but I suspect it’s because the skin looks a bit too plastic/smooth.

          Midjourney is awful at hands. But it can do incredibly convincing work with better prompts. You can see what people are making if you join their discord channel

            Yeah it’s capable of producing photo realistic images too which the one linked here is referencing painting or digital painting.

      You obviously don’t know the lore behind this pic, i don’t blame you since it was on Reddit like a year ago, the guy is probably dead or in prison by now

    I love the hard drugs subreddits. The most interesting is r/DPH, the wildest is probably r/meth. Sort by top and scroll down. Just don’t check the profiles of those making heartfelt promises to give up the drug forever and getting into rehab for follow ups.

      One time I got downvoted to oblivion and then followed and harassed for saying that employers shouldn’t be allowed to drug test for thc… In r/lsd of all places. I still don’t know what that was about. Did I accidently trigger the “everyone dogpile this guy” bot algorithm, maybe in a different comment? Do lsd users just think they’re better than everyone else just because past use of lsd can’t really be drug tested for? This happened like a year ago and I’m still dumbfounded.

        Yes, so do most of shrooms users, at least on the internet

    Which Xbox, though? For a classic Xbox, that’s overpriced. For an Xbox 360, that’s about right. Get any higher than that and it gets a little sketchy. (Still a crappy thing to do to your kid regardless.)

      Nah you’re a little out of date there. The classic Xbox is in the process of transitioning to being a retro console, so you’re looking at £30-£60 depending on condition (about $40-$80), and probably in a few years, more than that. Also the Xbox disk drives are notoriously shitty and many have died, so actual working models are either rare or refurbished at this point—that’s only going to balloon the price over time

      The 360 was the winner in that generation and it’s now where the PS2 was about 5ish years ago, far too much supply, very little demand. I can take my pick of several different models of 360 all for about £20 (about $25) today apparently

      I hope you enjoyed this unsolicited info dump about purchasing early xbox consoles in 2023.

        You might be right. Original Xboxes still seem fairly cheap on ShopGoodwill, but I haven’t been pricing them elsewhere, given the fact that I already own one. (It’d be nice to get one of the earlier models that are easier to hard mod, though. I’ve got a 1.6 which is mod-resistant, but at least doesn’t have a leaky clock capacitor.)
