Do not make dumb bets

Especially if they're on the Internet.

 

In related news, I think it's abominable picture thread time!

This page contains a picture of me and my fiancée, a few minutes after she became such.

I've got one of me looking half-dead and female, and one shirtless, with a ushanka. Well, that's not all, but I'd be banned for the other stuff.

(Also noms Iffy. Again.)

I wore a short pink dress to school my senior year. I think that beats your skirt + normal clothes combo by a huge margin. Wasn't a bet either.

Here's a picture of me taken at New Years, wearing my boyfriend's cool hat:

And here's a picture of me and boyfriend at his birthday party in December:

I'm pretty sure these two poor photos average out into one decent one.

 

 

 

(And also one really horrible one, but Dikiyoba is just going to pretend that one doesn't exist.)

[Niemand]

Averaging should produce only one output, but indeed it wouldn't be suitable, at it would necessarily fall somewhere between the two inputs in terms of whatever quality parameter you're measuring. What you refer to sounds more like heterodyning the two images somehow.

i dont know how to upload photos to google so i can post a link, but i will change my profile to a pic of me.

I never liked Mello much. L and Near are cooler.

L was good but Near sucks

It's Cold in Cairo

 

 

BTW it was 40C+ in Cairo at that time. Why I had my winter jacket in Egypt to begin with is a mystery. At least I didn't have the lining in it, lol.

Me

[Xaiya]

I know I look so pretty in my purple and pink colors that I wear.

You look so English. It's a style that needs to be worn more often.

Me and my friend Sean practicing our leg posing.

it's me

[Enraged Slith]

I have discovered my webcam

 

No, I'm not making a face, it's just frozen that way. Yes, that's my lip in my nostril.

 

Also, I don't have facebook so I can't see your picture.

[inni]

ahhh, those wonderful days when it was perfectly acceptable to get around with your tongue out...

Little kids are great.

 

Of course, that's just some kind of instinctive reaction, some automatic, evolutionarily effective secretion of endorphins or beginorphins or littleannieorphins or something, that occurs in humans at the sight of tiny young humans. It's just another drug, if you like.

 

But if you really look at it, so is everything. Love in bloom, peace on earth, Einstein discovering relativity; whatever it is or would be; it's all just various chemicals squirting around in brains. Sure enough; but if at this point someone tries to push just the seemingly slight bit further, to conclude that everything is meaningless or illusory, the right reaction is to burst out laughing — laughing at seeing a thousand years of amazing scientific progress and discovery end in a ridiculous philosophical pratfall. The obvious right conclusion is simply that some chemical squirts, at least, are not illusory or meaningless at all. If colored pixels on a screen can mean a movie, if black squiggles on a white background can mean a story, then most certainly the far richer medium of neurochemistry can carry all kinds of genuine meanings.

 

So for instance, little kids really are great.

[waterplant]

Little kids are mostly empty space - if they are made of the same particles as everything else - doesn't that make them somewhat illusory?

 

 

Undeniably sweet illusions I should add...

[Toby-Linn]

Very cute Salmon!

 

Are we uploading pictures of our kids now? Goody! I think I have one of Heather floating around here somewhere....

 

 

This was taken when she was a toddler still, about four I think. Now she's 7 but still cute as a button!

This is why I keep coming back.

Mostly the first part.

I tried taking a picture with my laptop's webcam, but the results were so godawfully horrible I'm not posting them. Instead, I'll get my army passport picture scanned, once I actually know where.
