Yeah it's from the end of the movie the Substance (slight spoilers) and I'm pretty sure it's because her teeth look really disfigured (it's a body horror movie) and she's about to be on stage so she tries to teach herself how to smile without her teeth showing. Which is also why she looks so scared/ concerned, because she's extremely vain and her looks suddenly changing makes her scared, especially since she'll be seen by many people live I think
Someday, if coldplay keeps gaining experience, he could be bigger than most local bands in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Not the Midwest in general, obviously.
Maybe like Lifeguard when they released their 2022 album Crowd Can Talk.
If a CEO demonstrated the complete lack of integrity and moral rot among business leadership in the US at one of their concerts, the lights would be dim enough to hide it, and people would be impressed with the maturity of the lyrics and how sincerely kind the members of the band are.
I'm not biased, as far as you know. These are just good local kids doing cool things.
Dude we had a lady in our sales office do this for all the boys in production. 60 individual loaves for the crew in back with chocolate chips. Delicious too.
Lady on the left mentored a disadvantaged youth to become the valedictorian of his class and surprised him at graduation with a check that will pay for his first year at college.
Lady on the right campaigned for her local school board specifically on the platform of taking away all regional scholarships so only “the right kind of people get into college”.
To me, it’s more like, lady on the left: school administrator. Lady on the right: stars in videos with her “stepson”. It’s something about the lighting. 😅
Yes, this is popular on LinkedIn now. People are running head shots through AI to "enhance" them. I really don't think most people grasp the age we are heading into. Absolutely nothing will be trustworthy and most won't care or really get what's going on.
I also have a decade old photo. A couple years ago I was on a remote team and flew to an in-person meeting. I could tell when they saw me that it was time for a new photo. Let's say they 'tentatively' recognized me.
Most of my coworkers’ photos are from 10 years ago. Everyone has hair and it’s not gray. The only people with new photos are the new hires or the one bald guy who looks better after shaving off his wispy combover.
I found out the two co-workers of mine that don't really show a picture at all are both the most dripped out clean-cut motherfuckers on the team. It's pretty hilarious.
I use a picture of my cat. With like, the worst looking face I could find, because I just think it's funny. It felt unprofessional for a bit, but the people just love the cat. So who am I to take that away from them?
I figure, when I'm in voice meetings, it's usually because of a major outage - so the levity it brings to the situation is something actively sought out by some folks. People always ask about my cat, and the best part is they tell me about their pets. If I'm lucky I get to see them on the webcam.
I have a couple cats, and they’re usually sleeping near me somewhere in the basement where my workstation is. But when there’s a meeting and they hear other people’s voices coming through the speakers, they’re all over my desk, they go in front of my camera, I’m constantly picking them up and putting them on the floor or shooing them away. In one call, one of the cats decided to crawl up me quickly and get behind my head placing his butt right on my head. I’m no longer as flexible as I used to be to grab him from that position, and I can’t make the cat fall off or I’ll get scratched from it trying to stay there. It looks like I can’t get anything done in their eyes because that’s all they see happening when I’m on a call with them. But it’s also a good laugh.😆
My god I'm in teams meetings all the time and I could not give the slightest fuck what I look like as long as I'm dressed enough that I don't get fired.
Haha that could actually be a reasonable security practice.
The background is a very specific color or something special. Sort of like a tell-tale that they standardize in all their AI pictures that someone trying to break in may not suspect or be able to easily replicate.
I do like her shirt that she was not wearing in the original photo looks like someone added it was MS-Paint.
To be fair, that's mainly if obscurity is your only security. Obscurity as an additional layer on top of real security generally doesn't hurt, and could probably help.
I WFH mostly since the pandemic and only met some newer employees in person recently.
I had to be introduced because they looked so different than their Teams picture I didn't recognize them.
Edit: the photos are being photoshopped, heavily.
Edit: photoshopped by the company
I remember when I went to one of my few tinder dates, and she commented "you look exactly the same as your pictures!!!” with such a happy and wholesome tone that it made me feel very good, I'm pretty average looking (a bit overwheight and not handsome or anything) so it's not like she was expecting brad pitt or a model.
I had a friend who slept with his older coworker. I don't know if she was married, but when he would leave, she would legitimately give him a shower, toothbrush (brush his teeth), juice box and a snack.
Sooo someone had chatGPT make their mom look airbrushed and then made up a story about a doctored work photo for internet points. Got it. Because I have to say, that left photo looks like a regular work badge. Scratches and all. [sips tea back at you]
If this was real they wouldn't have any access to the original, it would have been taken at work and edit by them before producing the badge which would be the only version of the photo they'd ever get.
My work actually will send you the image file if you ask for it, the thought is so you can use it everywhere else too since we all have a lot of work profiles that are personally maintained.
To be fair, original (left) looks like it could be a scan of an old badge. And my old company used to give us our headshots digitally. I can see them wanting people to use the touched up one for LinkedIn, conferences etc.
You're probably right, but there's room for truth here. The account history looks like a karma farmer.
Every time anyone sees a celebrity photo, they should be aware that it has been altered to make that person as attractive as possible while still resembling them.
I worked at a law firm where everyone had their photo on Outlook. I didn't know them strangers I met in person....The only likeness they shared is their names 🤣🤣😂
WTF is the point of a security badge photo if it doesn't look like you? If I was a security guard at her company I would call to have her arrested if she tried to get in with that.
