It could be a bit of both, but in general I recognized after a certain point that the only one affected by my stress level is me, not the thing in the news. I'd also credit having a career where you have to get really good at controlling what you let affect you.

He's famous as a really good geo-guesser (a game where people get random google streetview images and try to drop a pin as close to the coordinates as possible).

People give him challenges all the time, and it's really impressive.

Here he is finding someone's location based on a picture taken from a plane.

Found a scan of the article for anyone curious:

They're not mine. There's a popular poster on IG, Reddit, and X called "IRL Loading Screens" (the watermark in the image), and they make these and a bunch of others. I reposted a couple of the states that I saw maybe a month ago here, and people seemed to like them, so I've been saving them for Lemmy as I see them.

There are a lot of fakes claiming to be from that screen test, unfortunately.

But we do see him in a wig in "I, Claudius" from the 70s.

Is it an actual photoshop then? This isn't mine, and I assumed whoever did the original edit used some sort of faceswap or AI app to do it because it looked so smooth.

Yeah, I still think the criticisms of Bush were valid, but I'm so much more cool-headed as a person now that the difference in my response feels incongruent. Political news doesn't take an emotional toll on me like it used to, even though I objectively disagree with modern politicians more.

I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.

Or

AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

Seriously. I was at the right age to be much more politically intense back then and absolutely despised Bush.

Now, I almost feel bad about it after witnessing the last 20 years of politics.

Hmm, it sort of shares the page, so sure thing.
