Charisma

I can tell even "good" AI images because of the weird over manufactured look, kinda hard to describe it's kinda like how fake leather feels wrong. But anyways this has the same weird energy as those weirdly gay Sino-Soviet propaganda posters.

Why is it always so beige?
- Bias in the Trainingdata
- I like to call it "ChatGPT sepia"
- The sepia from old comic books and newspaper comic strips
Guy on the right has a "uni-finger" haha.
- His name is Chad
It's like, the more you look at it, the worse it looks, even though it looks good at first glance. Typically, when a human draws something that gets worse the more you look at it, then it already looks bad at first glance. I
There's that weird colour dithering AI always does. It's not a consistent colour, it's grainy like it uses video stativ/noise.
- It literally does, every AI image starts as gaussian noise.
There's a kind of ChatGPT sepia that it loves to use, then it's version of "comic book panel" is apparently 1950's public domain themed.

Fellas, is it gay to apologize?

Sorry, but I'm straight.
- ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?!
My ex, well if you can even call it that, dumped me because I apparently apologize too much and "apologies are useless and just show that you lack confidence".
So, according to her, yes.
- "Abuse me harder. Nothing like force to prove your point!"
  Dodged a bullet there
- I will say that apologies without the intent to change behavior suck. They're there to politely admit that you recognize you made a mistake, and that you're going to try to not repeat it. If you don't have the last part then it's useless. However, with the last part, they're one of the things that take the most strength for a person to do.
- I'm in a relationship with a person who apologizes dozens of times a day for stuff that absolutely doesn't require an apology.
  Basically all that it's done is make their apologies meaningless.
  And at a certain point it comes off as attention seeking behavior, because it feels like it's about garnering sympathy instead of actually caring about my feelings.
- They sounds awful.
- If this was the reason they broke it off, then they did you a favour. A worthwhile relationship wouldn't end over something so small. Better to move onto more mature partners
- I don’t mean this is in a bad way, but they are sort of right on the last part. Apologies aren’t useless though. They are very needed to maintain healthy relationships between people, be they romantic or business or otherwise.
  But I do also get very tired very quickly, if someone is over-apologizing or just constantly doing it. Either there’s a reason for the apology and they constantly fuck up or do something wrong, at least in their own opinion enough to warrant the apology. or they keep saying it where they need not do so which is just frustrating and I have also associated it with lack of confidence.
  Either way, I can understand your ex, and have felt the exact way they did, and I wanted to just stop by and say that it is not necessarily intended as an insult or as a criticism or whatever, just that they really could not deal with it. I had no hard feelings or anything bad to say about the people I’ve met like this, always apologizing, it’s simply a very human incompatibility.
  There are people who don’t perceive the apologies as tiring or annoying or as lack of confidence or whatever. Those people will love you for it. But the people who don’t, aren’t necessarily intending to signal or say it’s bad, it might just be that it’s incompatible with them. That’s how I’ve explained it or how I feel it anyway, but I found myself relating to your ex so thought I’d throw in an anecdote from the other side.
- I'm sorry brother.
Apologizing about stuff you don't need to can be a pretty tiring and unassertive trait. Like in the pic apologizing for asking about a date. Then again, the chad way on the right seems like it would just get a "who dis" reply
That's very gay.

Eww. The 9pm guy has both hands connected by one common middle finger. That seems unhandy.

Minecraft villager energy. I bet he hmmphs like one when fucking.
That's how you AI it was know
Like a fleshy Chinese finger trap.
Maybe it's just really long, like a foot long, and it's just wrapped around where you can't see
In which case the other dude is in for a wild night
That seems unhandy.
Farnsworth disagrees.
- the fing longer doesn't connect both hands

One of the most commonly observed traits in psychopathy (the actual mental disorder, not the distorted tiktok pop-sci version of it) is that someone suffering from it has very reduced feelings of anxiety and shame. Makes sense that they'd be confused by someone else feeling anxious and not really understanding why they'd choose to present like that.

Huh, it really does make sense now that I think about it.
I hate how we live in a world where this kind of behaviour is not just accepted, it's often a desired trait. Lots of CEOs are psychopaths.
- I think it's usually more their Machiavellinism that gets CEOs ahead in life. Psychopathy and Narcissism sit close to it on the Dark triad and have some overlaps, but of the three, Machiavellinism is probably the most impactful on Career success. I think it's useful to know the difference and recognize the specific traits, as anyone on the Dark Triad can be made to act perfectly pro-social given the right incentives!
Item 19: Revocation of conditional release
Huh, that's an interesting one.

This AI slop is so dumb too

left guy is breaking past his keyboard
right guy has his message read one minute after he told them to arrive, meaning he was left on read until the literal last second

Like even in their dream scenario, they're unread? Lmao

also funnily enough they added an extra I on the keyboard
Oh christ I didn’t realize the timing thing, makes this that much more funny. The confident look of the guy when he sees he finally got read a minute after the time they confidently told the other party to come.
It’s so dumb, oh my god
- Possibly it was intentional - the right guy's messege means "my place, right now"
Don't forget the giant middle finger on the guy on the right
God I hate slop. But I guess if you're a talentless man-o-sphere idiot you'd see no other choice

Yeah, the second I see anyone trying to make a point by using AIGen images, there point is already invalid in my mind.

They don't even have the gall to use random non-AI stock images or even better, use shitty hand drawn images.

Either way, I can't give this an upvote, morally, but it is kinda funny, though.

And what the fuck is up with that floating keyboard passing through his hands? What an absurd thing.
- How would you know it's a chat bubble without the keyboard on the bottom? Checkmate human scum /s
- Maybe he's not getting dates because his hands are cuffed to a keyboard? 🤔
Only alpha chads have comically long middle fingers!
- oh no it's worse, his hands are joined at the middle finger
- Hey, that's useful for the hookup.
imo when someone is so lazy that they can't be arsed to put effort into using genAI properly to produce an image that isn't the most generic slop imaginable, they're probably also too lazy to have developed the empathy required to come to actually valid conclusions
- Sounds about right.
Bonus points for parroting 'Sam Altman Ghibli Style'
Because worshipping billionaire influencers is the most Alpha Male thing ever, yeah.
fair

Why are AI slop always piss colored?

The training data contains lots of newspaper comics. Newsprint paper is high in acid and as a result yellows over time. Notice the piss comics are usually animated in an anacronistic style, using styles more similar to Older comics despite often being focused on modern life.
They trained it exclusively on late 2000s-2010s video games
- Which, as we all remember, were all piss themed, which was the style at the time.
Piss posting has been determined as the funniest way of posting by all AIs, but they don’t quite understand the essence of the piss post.

I had to re-read it several times to figure out how it wasn't supposed to be a gay hookup.

I still don't get how it isn't a gay hookup. How are you supposed to read it?
- I guess we're supposed to look at the guy on the left and instead of thinking "He is in distress," we're supposed to think, "He is unfuckable." And we're supposed to look at the guy on the right and instead of thinking, "He is going to fuck that other guy," we're supposed to think, "He is so fuckable."
  I think it's gay either way you look at it.
- They're not texting each other, they're texting their girlfriends
- They're texting the same person, presumably a woman but possibly a man or enby.
- They're the same person, just different approaches to sending a text.

Maybe I’m getting older but I feel like texting someone so late they didn’t read it until after the proposed meeting time might not be a good strategy either.

It's a power move, bro. They'll realize they're already late which creates a sense of urgency. Like and subscribe for more alpha tips on manipulating others.
- Liked and subbed!! Do you have any overpriced courses or supplements I can buy?

How is this not two gay guys setting up a sex meet? This is exactly what 99% of my Grindr texts read like.

Torn between downvote for AI and upvote for kinda funny

For what it's worth, the AI is being used by a lame "alpha bro" account that is being mocked in the meme.
Unrelated, but also worth pointing out to people scrolling by that generally if you know someone wants to hang out you wouldn't start with an apology. So the guy is likely apologizing because he's aware his advances are unwanted but is doing it anyway. The second guy is unlikely to get any traction with people he doesn't already know, and is exemplary as the kind of low effort garbage women complain about on dating apps, or communicating with someone he already has a preexisting relationship with who would already have his address.
I also read it as two gay guys texting each other at first.
- Plenty of people lack confidence or have an anxiety disorder, so would be predisposed to assuming that hanging out with them was a burden without any grounds to think so, and potentially feel like they need to include an apology in any invitation. It's obviously not healthy, but it doesn't mean that they're right and that the advances are unwanted.
Why not both?

It's not?

why would she be reading the text one minute after it told her to be there? Doesn't that speak even worse for the alpha male?

Lmfao just noticed that, fucking brutal
The guy might have sent it at 9 - meaning my place, right now - I thought that was is way of asserting dominance

Lol the attempt to show a fast read actually made it look like the text wasn't read until after the meeting time had passed.

Y'know, I first read the image, and it felt like "Oh, so Man1 isn't feeling great, so his friend Men2 tells him to come to have at his place to talk about it or just do something fun. That's a nice friendship".

That perception did not survived the rest of the text.

Exactly my second reading ! (after the gay hookup reading)

So he sent the text after the time he said to be there? What a dumb asshole.

No, the other person read the text after he said to be there.
- Still weird design choice on the creators part.

The read timestamp actually makes it funnier.

You can also tell that the guy on the left is the weak one because he actually needs a keyboard to type out his text message whereas the guy on the right can do it with his mind alone.

In my experience the guy on the left gets a loving wife who understands and respects him. The guy on the right gets a bunch of random sex, often only once per woman, and either goes to prison for how he treats them, or has a bunch of divorces. Also nowadays there is a 50/50 chance his pickup is in the same price range as his house.

Don't drink the alpha broth.

Wait, isn't that what this is?

took a while but apparently its a "meek" vs "strong" comparison, they are asking people out (not each other). Left is not getting a response where right is.
Seriously looks like they are hooking up
- I mean, the guy on the right was left on read.
- Oh, wow, I genuinely had not even been able to figure that out until reading your comment just now!

Is this supposed to be read right to left? The message with "Read 9:01pm" makes me think so

I prefer a lot rage comics than ia... I mean, if you can't draw, perfectly you can use all of those characters...

You can be sure that every alpha male posting shit like this never got laid without paying. Upfront.

I keep imagining his name as Alpha Brothel. I don't what it is, what it looks like, but I know it smells like ass and ax body spray.

The alpha brothel is where omegas go to spend their time of the month if they choose not to or can't suppress their hormones.
- Horrible comment. Upvoted.
