The fuckig disrespect to barely blur this man's face and post him in a photoshopped t-shirt that makes him look like a piece of shit.

What the fuck is wrong with you? What did this man do to you that you would post this online? You think that blur job is doing anything?

"Relax, it's just a joke"

PEOPLES LIVES HAVE BEEN RUINED FOR THIS KIND OF SHIT! All it takes is one dumbfuck to not see that it's a joke to cause a problem. One parent who complains to the admin who grill this guy for no reason. One shithead student who starts a rumor about him.

Fuck you OP. I hope someone plasters YOUR shitty blurred face all over the internet and tries to tie YOU to being a racist, elitist, piece of shit.

The only thing I can say is that I didn't think through what I was doing. That's not an excuse though.

As soon as I came back here and say your comment something in my head snapped and what you were saying made complete sense. I immediately erased it and will make every attempt to think through posts that may be problematic in the future before I post them.

Totally my fault.

:(

Dude I'm sitting here trying to figure out what the hell this Windows background has to do with anything

[โ€“] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 points 4 months ago

The image was an obvious fake and this is shitpost community. It wasn't that bad. It wasn't very funny but it also wasn't inappropriate.

[โ€“] Tiral@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's alright, people make mistakes and such. Thanks for being reasonable about it.

this image is photoshopped. i can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

[โ€“] Janx@piefed.social 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That's correct. I checked with David Photoshop and he confirmed it.

[โ€“] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

The amount of photoshops has also dramatically increased since 1970s

[โ€“] zerofk@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

However the amount of photo shops has dramatically decreased in that same time period.

[โ€“] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hey, does he know John Reader and Jeff Lightroom?

[โ€“] Masamune@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I've been told he is good buddies with Bob Gimp.

[โ€“] kieron115@startrek.website 1 points 4 months ago

It's an older meme, Sir, but it checks out.

[โ€“] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There is something about his face that doesn't look natural but I'm not quite sure if it's Photoshop or AI

[โ€“] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Its resting DOOM face

[โ€“] pleb_maximus@piefed.zip 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ah, a person of culture I see.

I bet he thinks ice cream is correlated with the violent crime too

[โ€“] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Violent crime precedes ice cream consumption. Clearly crime makes people hungry for ice cream.

I had the post loaded earlier from scrolling on the toilet and now that I'm scrolling on the toilet again the post has been removed but I have the original photo in my feed still so here it is if you are confused, without the dude's face

Why the fuck did they add an AI slop explanation and image to each graph lol

[โ€“] SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

To clarify, you get the slop if you click "View details about correlation #NNNN"

[โ€“] kcseb@pawb.social 1 points 4 months ago

I'm a bit stoned, so that might play a factor but... I've just sat there staring at those statistics and graphs in awe for a solid 10 minutes. Thanks for this!

[โ€“] daannii@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Teaching students to not conflate correlation with causation by pointing out absurd assumptions of causality from real correlations.

[โ€“] JelleWho@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

My favourite argument is that; The amount of people buying ice creams and the amount of people drowning also looks like curves that follow each other. But less ices creams will not make less people drown. They both go up because of good weather conditions. They do not influence each other.

[โ€“] Pman@lemmy.org 1 points 4 months ago

The historical version of this was the ww2 airplane patch job stats, where american bombers returning after getting hit were hit in specific areas and the statistician had to explain that those who returned despite that damage meant those were not the places to reinforce but the other areas of the plane makeing it more survivable, or more recently how Santa Monica CA almost removed crosswalks because that was where the highest pedestrian mortally rates were. In both those cases the people making the assumptions missed the bigger picture, for the planes that those who got hit in more sensitive spots got downed and for pedestrians getting killed at crosswalks that was because that is where pedestrians cross the street most of the time, almost leading to more deaths.

It's the Correlation vs Causation T-shirt.

[โ€“] UPGRAYEDD@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A shirt that screams that correlation =/= causation.

[โ€“] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That "teacher" has interpretation, extrapolation, and interpolation issues.

[โ€“] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

its just an AI meme anyways

[โ€“] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago (5 children)

It's like people forgot Photoshop exists

[โ€“] veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

There are less minor miners and more minor suicides nowadays. Curious..

[โ€“] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Probably trying to make a point that correlation and causation are not always related.

[โ€“] nailingjello@piefed.zip 4 points 4 months ago

Yep. The image is fake, but the graph by itself is an excellent example that correlation does not equal causation.

[โ€“] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

smoking withdrawal and not letting the expletives flow together with therapy mandated to deflect social responsibility for your problems increases the frequency of those flying off the handle. Vidya game complexity increases from pong could be a factor too. :P

So that's what Dr Breen has been up to.

[โ€“] anugeshtu@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Wait, did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity?
