Can you not see the image I posted in the comment?

Yes and I can’t make heads or tails of what you want to say with it.

The way the petals are drawn is not how a human would draw them.

What I’m hearing from you is vague gesturing, “don’t think I’m confused about that kind of stuff” and “trust me, bro”.

“Not how humans would draw them” doesn’t cut it. Explain how it differs. Zooming in on those flowers “hah they don’t look like flowers” does not prove anything, of course they’re not perfect: They’re in the background. Too much detail would make them pop out, that’s why you draw the impression of detail, not actual detail. The artist in the video is a master at that.

inconsistent arm length

Because it is impossible for humans to get anatomy wrong, or just not care. Right panel is a compromise: Gesture wants negative space to the right (gal is running), panel width is limited, don’t want to cut off hand, so make arms different length it’s a comic FFS.

the distorted/melty flowers in the third panel

Because everything humans paint is hyperrealistic and infinite detail. Impressionist technique doesn’t exist.

the bottom of the TV stand

…what? Best guess I have is that you think that it’s geometrically wrong but it just doesn’t have a door, drawers, or such. Which btw would break the composition.

kinda melty/bendy lines here and there

Smudge tool don’t exist.

Those “high prices for small farms” are in the order of maybe a cent or two per egg. And producing eggs isn’t the whole equation: With distributed production you have lower transportation costs. Not to mention that the US has to have a whole cooling chain for eggs because they rather wash+chill them than adhere to proper hygiene standards.

It’s not like European supermarket eggs would be produced in backyards. Looking at German numbers: About 50m hens in 2258 companies means an average of 22k birds per company, maximum flock size is 3000 (organic) or 4000 (regular).

The US could take its 100k flock sizes and just build some dividers and generally environmental isolation and be much more resilient. But resilience costs money so nitwit MBAs are saying “let’s cut this out, statistics say I’ll have my golden parachute before shit hits the fan won’t someone think about quarterly results”.

Yes. We usually rather give people money to buy food locally than ship sacks of rice across the world. With the US simply having no eggs of their own, though, that’s of course not an option.

Occasionally, we ship some to Ireland to cause a political ruckus there. Sadly couldn’t find any pictures of the famed EU cheese, but have some rice.

2.39 Euro, free-range, 10 piece. Organic is 3.39, barn 1.99, all incl. 7% VAT. so 12 barn ones would be 2.40. Granted, Aldi probably makes 0 profit from the barn ones but there’s only so much they can squeeze farmers. We’ve long since outlawed cages.

We do have H5N1 here, just like everyone else it’s out there with wild birds and those fly all over the place, it’s been a thing for two decades. Difference being we have regulations and also industrial structure (not as large companies/flocks) which means even if a flock gets infected it’s a much more limited loss.

And of course the completely different hygiene standards: Eggs in the EU must be sold unwashed, which means that companies actually have to keep the barns clean. It’s similar with chicken meat: It’s not like chlorinating chicken would be a health danger to humans, it’s that the hygiene conditions that would make chlorinating necessary, seen from the other side that chlorinating enables, are absolutely unconscionable. That’s why chlorinating is outlawed in the EU.

In another line of thought, though, we should have another class of eggs: Organic barn. The usual better feed, more space etc. but keep them inside, it’s not like chickens mind being inside. Vaccinating them sadly isn’t an option at this point, like it is with salmonella.

Are we subscribed to the same sub. Dach talks about literally nothing else but politics right now so don’t tell me ich_iel only having like 1/3rd political posts today is some kind of smoking gun.

ok change 18 to 20, same argument

Not really, the one number at least implies “I don’t want to go to prison”, the other is “these are too young for me”. Anyway:

don’t tell me there aren’t any single 40yo women interested in him lol

How many of those 40yolds are jealous, and what what kind of social narrative could they be pushing to make him stop dating that young. Also, how many of them would themselves have dated him with a 30 year age gap, given the opportunity.

Maybe, instead of not asking those questions, he answers them in a way that you do not agree with? Maybe even based on factors that you overlook?

I’m not quite as old as Leo but that frontal cortex thing is a very hard cutoff. You seem to be very focussed on the “18” thing, that’s not how human development and attraction works. According to the chart he has not dated an 18yold since he was 26, and hasn’t shied away from 24yolds.

And, yes, he doesn’t want to found a family, doesn’t seem to want anything really long-term, at least not yet. Not for me to judge.

So you’re not blaming the women, you’re not saying that they don’t know what they’re getting into, either, everyone knows what Leo is up to, so you’re calling Leo creepy for – not questioning decisions the women make?

There’s also a weird characterisation of agency, here. You’re only characterising Leo as an active participant, not the women, you’re saying what Leo does is use things that he has, passively (fame, wealth), to actively “get” women. I’d be much more convinced if you said he’s a good flirt. Are women such passive creatures that when they see someone rich and famous, they just cannot help themselves but spread their legs? I find it hard to reconcile such a narrative with feminism, it’s absolutely regressive.

The frontal cortex matures from roughly 14 to the early 20s, characteristic of that age is to be both impulsive and confused, while the cortex is already fully functional you’re still figuring out what to actually use it for.

That is: In the early 20s you become fully adult. Not in the legal sense (that’s usually 18), but biologically. You’re a grown-up. To argue that they can’t make their own decisions is highly infantilising.

So there you have a guy who’s a bit older, but very charming and generally fit, probably good in bed, a gentleman all around, he’s famous and you have a modelling career that could take a bit of a boost. You get along well with each other. You enjoy the interplay between a fresh outlook on life and some more settled experience, it’s invigorating both of you. Is there a transaction in that arrangement? Sure. But it’s one that 20yolds are adult enough to enter with full awareness of what they’re doing. Is it for you? Probably not, from what I gather. Is it your place to judge? Neither.
