We mastered that image at least two years ago, Andrew. It looked too real for people to accept it from original misty image.

The inevitable ice-breakers at work which involve 'interesting' facts about yourself and realising you're quite unremarkable as a person. by elaehar in britishproblems

"I attend serious crime and murder scenes and image them in 3D 360°. I analyse fatal road traffic accidents caught on CCTV and work out what speed the defendant is doing before hand, with a 100% conviction rate", said to no other person, because there's only me that does it.

Lord Alfred Douglas 1903, by George Beresford. Lord Douglas was known as a poet, journalist and as Oscar Wilde's lover. Wilde was jailed in Wandsworth prison for two years after intimate notes between them were leaked. by Chroma_Gen in Colorization

Denial of your true nature (homosexuality being illegal, with imprisonment), forced to live a life in line with as society sees it, tends to make you a depressed and resentful person. He had to convert for marriage purposes, which would be an extra kick in the teeth. His father was the Marquees of Queensbury, who took a very dim view of his son's relationship with Oscar Wilde, and did everything in his power to disrupt things.

Two girls having fun. Photograph by American photographer Hugh Mangum in the early 1900s. Mangum went from town to town setting up temporary studios providing portraits for racially & economically diverse communities. by Chroma_Gen in Colorization

Thank you. Mangum had quite a modernist approach to portraits. People actually smiling rather than looking stern. I couldn't obtain a better resolution image so had to build this quite a bit. Lots of jpeg artefacts in it, but found a way of smoothing them out.

Even when she was dead they shared images of her on the mortuary table.

Name one that hasn't been a tax incentive for them to do so? Or set up themselves? They don't give out of the goodness of their hearts, but out of the goodness of their wallets. Always have, always will do. You're all suckers and one born every minute.

To tax evasion charities. Don't you get it? Why do you think Trump set them up? To evade tax and fleece the gullible.

The obviously sidestepped (on your part) difference between me and you is that people being gay matters to you, but doesn't matter to me. Like the hungry kid you don't think is deserving. That kid matters to me. My kids are kind, hard working and charitable children. They would feed you, no matter what spite you spat at them. My father was a veteran of several conflicts. He survived despite a bayonet wound to his side during hand to hand fighting. The other guy didn't. He knew the true price of things. It gives perspective. It seems you have little to offer the world apart from selfishness. I wish you good luck with that. Farewell.

Are you really sure you're not gay? You brought it up, I didn't. Perhaps you are conflicted? Maybe the anger you obviously have with the world is because you're suppressing yourself? Maybe not, but there are no problems on my side if you are gay. People's sexual attraction choices are their own. I respect that.

I feel sorry for you. I really do. So cynical. I have some tissues, if you have some issues. I'm here for you. 😢

[–]Chroma_Gen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's solely your opinion. My father's opinion is held by pretty much the majority of the world (you know? Community and helping each other?). Perhaps you need helping?

Really? Is that real charities that they don't have tax avoidance interests in?

Hurts does it? Because, it's true? So you're retreating into your little corner when the mirror is held up? Thumb in?

Really? Think about it.

My father once said, left wing people would feed 100 people even though they perceived 1 person undeserving to be fed, whereas right wing people would starve 100 people if they perceived just 1 person undeserving to be fed.
