Actually, the third one looks like a pain elemental to me!

A bread elemental? Here?

Damnit, someone set their summoning circle to too high of a temperature again.

Fine, then I'll post the French Dune picture.

I've split the RGB components of each databent image and stacked them on top of each other. I've decided to show both the black-and-white and colorized versions. You can sorta see how Paulstretch just crashes through the RGB components of the planar RAW images, completely disregarding things like "boundaries". Because it's really only funny to waste people's bandwidth once, I've decided to scale these ones to a more reasonable, non-bandwidth-hogging size. All 6 images total to ~3 MB.

Rev mother really rockin that 'stache. The baguettes look ok too, but i am more interested in the cinnamon spice rolls. Sadly, because I dont speak French, she just shouts "Putain de merde!" At me when I ask.

[wierd]

OK...

Google? I know you really dont care too much about who you do business with, but please, I need to know.

Why exactly did you show me this, and what the hell is it an advert for?


No, I sure as hell am not going to click it. That is how I will end up with an eternity of old woman poop ads. No.

Just tell me why I deserved this. What algorithm decided I needed to know, or would be excited by, a 71 year old woman probably passing half her body weight in feces?  How did it decide this?

I want to know, so I can change my ways and never get presented with this kind of thing again.

K.

Thanx, bai.

[methylatedspirit]

I guess it's because you work with old people? I suppose a 71-year old woman just shitting out massive amounts of feces is just par for the course in your job.

I'm also reminded of that awful Jilly Juice thing, where one of the touted benefits is that you'll get diarrhea. Of course, it's not called "diarrhea", they're called "waterfalls", and it's supposed to be the toxins leaving your body.

[wierd]

Well, it kinda is.

Your body responds that way when it thinks it is poisoned.

[methylatedspirit]

Yeah, but they say that the Jilly Juice is the detox, and the stuff that comes out are undefined "toxins".

I think that's a common theme with alt-med things in general. It doesn't matter if you're blasting out of both ends, having a seizure and just generally dying, that's just the stuff "working its magic". In which case, I would like to market small doses of rat poison as an alternative medicine. Of course, I'll have to give it a fancy name and suitable marketing spin, but I think I can just claim that it'll make you healthier, perform better in bed, make you more attractive to everyone, and so on. The more insecurities I market to, the better.

You mean Warfarin?

(ducks)


What you are really looking for, is "Miracle Mineral Solution!"

It's everything you could hope for in an alt-med supplement!

[methylatedspirit]

You mean Warfarin?

Absolutely! Hijack the reputation of Warfarin! Classic alt-med trick. Maybe I can come up with some bullshit about your blood hardening over time, and you need my new totally-not-rat-poison supplement to soften it, to make it flow better so that you don't get congestive heart failure. I'm fairly certain I'll get laughed out of a Biology class for saying that, but since when was bullshit not profitable?

Dear lord. I remember this one time, some fuckers who I'll have to begrudgingly call "parents" literally fed MMS to their children to "cure" their autism. It's some horrible combination of parental attachment and a complete lack of understanding of developmental disorders, I think. They wouldn't go this far if it was a stranger's child, but because it's theirs, they feel some responsibility to "cure" it, despite autism not yet being curable.

And even then, I'm not quite sure of the ethics of "curing" the autistic. The high-functioning ones are perfectly capable of leading healthy and well-adjusted lives given good (and preferably early) intervention, so do you demarcate it at degree of functioning? What is that, changing the way in which someone thinks fundamentally just because it's not "smart" enough for you? Dubious, methinks. It's just an ethical minefield everywhere you go.

I wouldn't get a cure, even if it existed. It'd be like giving working eyes to a blind-from-birth person; are you sure that any of those things that would have to be rewired are even gonna work as intended? Would I even care about the added capabilities at this point in my life, and would it overwrite my current ones? Would I even want those? What of my personality? Am I truly "me" after a cure?

[wierd]

Well, with warfarin, you could really skate that legal minefield hard.

"The Active Ingredient in ClotAway has been CLINICALLY PROVEN to be effective in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis, Coronary heart disease, Peripheral arterial disease, and many more!  Got cold feet? Try ClotAway! Painful numbness in an extremity? Try ClotAway!"

Etc...

[Caz]

I remember hearing about that. People forcing bleach enemas on their non-verbal kids to cure their autism. The vacuum decay apocalypse is overdue.
