*screencap of a tiktok by @sarahinyellow featuring a lightskinned person sitting at their laptop with a bag of potato chips and a bottle of diet coke*

“diet culture will demonize any food that isn’t “clean” but EVERY food can have a benefit for you

Diet Coke is somehow the only thing that stops my migraines, and it reminds me of my best friend. Cape Cod potato chips are my go to salty snack and I live 10 minutes from the factory, so they make me feel cool.

Food is more than fuel. It’s memories and satisfaction and tradition and home and culture.

There’s nothing evil about that.”

having adhd in your twenties is like how do I stop having emotions that change like the weather. how do I see the bigger picture instead of getting swept up in daily life. how do I deal with minor rejection causing major feelings.

Because AI image generators create new images by collecting data from old ones, their understanding of what an image is supposed to look like will logically be shaped by those who most frequently upload images online. On a global scale, this means biases towards the wealthy, "western," online, urban/suburban, etc.

AI and the American Smile

How AI misrepresents culture through a facial expression.

"...seeing the relentless parade of toothy, ahistorical, quintessentially American, 'cheese' smiles plastered on the faces of every civilization in the world across time and space was immediately jarring. It was as if the AI had cast 21st century Americans to put on different costumes and play the various cultures of the world. Which, of course, it had...

In the same way that English language emotion concepts have colonized psychology, AI dominated by American-influenced image sources is producing a new visual monoculture of facial expressions. As we increasingly seek our own likenesses in AI reflections, what does it mean for the distinct cultural histories and meanings of facial expressions to become mischaracterized, homogenized, subsumed under the dominant dataset? In the AI-generated visual future, will we know that Native Americans didn’t smile for photos like WW2 U.S. Navy Officers?"

Article goes into a lot of detail a lot of people might not know about how Americans are typically taught "uncertainty avoidance" - smiling purely to be reassuring to strangers - but how in much of the world it reads as goofy and stupid to outright menacing.

Have u guys noticed how many grown men think it’s quirky to be terrified of bugs and they scream and run and talk about how they need a big tall strong brave woman in their life who will deal with the bugs among other tasks like it’s a whole bit….. i don’t think that shit is cute at all bc I also don’t think it’s cute when girls scream over bugs either like . It’s a bug. There’s been the largest spider on earth in my office for about a week now and she’s lovely but my coworkers won’t step foot in there anymore bc they find her menacing enough to yell about it and I find that sooo disrespectful to my guest. She’s like my bodyguard and she does it all for free. She’s here for a reason and I intend to let her play her part
