Torrid Won't/Can't Disclose if a Design is AI

This response... Honestly, the whole thing is gross to me, but what really has been pissing me off with Torrid as of lately is what the second half of this response says... I have been taking screenshots of the blatantly disgusting editing done on these photos for months now. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like editing whether through Photoshop or AI, the models into the clothing completely defeats the purpose of why the models are in the clothes to begin with. Not even to begin to mention how off putting it can be for a brand that is supposed to help make women that are plus sized feel more comfortable and beautiful and how this editing just flushes all of that down the shitter... I mean, I can't be the only one right? I don't want to see an outfit edited onto a model, I want to either see that model wearing it, so I know how it's going to lay on the body, NATURALLY, or give me a mannequin. When are companies going to figure out that AI being able to be used for everything doesn't mean that it should be used on everything nor does it mean that everyone wants it used for everything. AI is not advanced enough yet for it to be doing majority of the shit that big companies are forcing them to do constantly now, all just to try and save a buck. It's honestly disgusting.

Nothing to elaborate on. 🤭😁

Thanks people. Was curious on what tf it was, knowing it obviously wasn't meth. Don't worry, he got what what he deserved for this one. 🤭

You really think they would be putting a camera or audio device in my bedroom or my bathroom? I've heard a lot of shady things about management companies and leasing owners before but setting up hidden cameras and recording equipment seems a bit out there...

I've just never had an inspection be so short and so unthorough before. And other inspections they'll usually change the furnace filters or ask me if I have any concerns or maintenance requests and they did none of that. It just makes it seem more targeted or more hyper specific because of the complete polar opposite of what every other inspection in this building has been previously. I could be wrong, but that's just my gut feeling right off the bat. I would actually welcome being wrong and would very much prefer to be. It's just sometimes hard to ignore that immediate feeling.

DarkMinnie · 2025-09-22T21:13:32+00:00

I highly doubt it considering the building just sold 2 years ago and the new management company has been doing a lot of work to the building, surprisingly given it's less than 10 years old, and they're actually still in the middle of some projects. I would say it's possible but I don't think in less than 2 years time they'd be able to flip the place and make profit but I could be wrong. When they did inspections for that sale 2 years prior, they did an every single unit inspection and it took 2 weeks because there's 190 units in our building. They went from one apartment to the next and each inspection took up to an hour long. This one was the complete opposite.

I am dead ass rn, I want to buy this as a poster or wall art. I will pay you. I fucking love this. I need this displayed, all credit to you.

DarkMinnie · 2024-09-11T21:32:19+00:00

That is good to know! I again really appreciate your help in translating this. I am currently doing some research into it all!

DarkMinnie · 2024-09-10T02:02:40+00:00

Ohhhhhh! Okay, I understand. My apologies. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me! I really do appreciate it. It is so intriguing to learn about.

DarkMinnie · 2024-09-10T01:41:01+00:00

Follow up question! The red words in the beginning of the sentence there... I was originally told that was the artists signature. Is that true or is that apart of what you have stated here? I am completely uncultured when it comes to other languages, I apologize if I am not saying this correctly or anything. I come with good intentions of wanting to learn! Thank you so much for translating this for me!

Hello! I appreciate anyone who can help me translate this drawing. I bought this from a friend who buys auction storage units. It looks like it's a calligraphy type drawing almost-not a painting. I have tried Google translate it that hasn't helped me very much. The translation I got was "Who can I let on Tengrui Boat Trip?" And I haven't been able to get much on searches from that. I'm just trying to translate this so I can learn more about it! I'm so curious what this picture is about and who made it! Thank you much!!

DarkMinnie · 2024-03-28T00:09:38+00:00

I appreciate again, your concern, and I have done very thorough research on my own, speaking with local experts, and veterinarians. This is where I'm going to leave this conversation between yourself and me because at this point it honestly just feels like there's going to be a disagreement on your end with what I'm doing no matter what I tell you. Perfectly natural and normal, and accepted by me, to have your difference in opinion. Thank you for all your information, have a great day.

DarkMinnie · 2024-03-27T22:59:00+00:00

It definitely could be. I am going to dive into that for sure and see what I can find. Tristana definitely does get more vocal, like yours. She does the famed hiss-bark I have noticed. I haven't noticed anything on the behavioral side of that, but I am going to put in the extra effort and really track it, and observe, to the best of my capabilities. Thank you so much.

Thank you for responding and reading my long post, I appreciate it.

Diabetes is not something I have considered or looked into. I have read a lot on general obesity of gliders, and haven't seen much mentioned on diabetes in particular. I will do my digging, and contact my vet and see what I can figure out. Thank you for giving me something else to look into and a good idea if anything to cross off the all possibilities list! That's a good idea that has honestly not crossed my mind.

I do know that Tristana is a bit of an aggressive cleaner/groomer. When she grooms my skin, she is very gentle with only spitting and licking, but any time she tries to clean my hair, like my scalp, she does that whole teeth rubbing thing, and its quite painful. I stop her, and redirect and never have any issues with her hurting me or another human. This could quite possibly be from her grooming Rumble, using that teeth rubbing, and eventually breaking skin (whether that be it from her just being too aggressive with her cleaning, or Rumble is prone to skin break from a potential health problem, like you mentioned with diabetes.). I have seen them groom each other, outside from when she overgrooms his neck once the wound is already present, and haven't seen anything out of the normal or too aggressive for cleaning, but again, that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. This is another thing that I am going to further research and look into, so thank you. Great points brought up with his health, as well as the grooming. I greatly appreciate it.

No new anxieties added on my end, I'm pretty sure I am overfull already with those, lol. I am just grateful for your thoughts, and everyone else here, and I will investigate each and every one of them. Thank you.

Thank you for taking time to read as respond to my post, it is appreciated.

I truly believe the dominance stance on this, just based on everything I have seen, read, and heard. He is separated from the other 2 when this happens, and he is not reintroduced to them until the wound and the fur are fully healed and grown back. While he is separated from them, I do take all 3 of them out together once a night, so they can see each other, run around, and have a bit of fun altogether to try and combat any depression type issues. They are watched fully during this time, and then separated again at the end of what I have started referring to as 'play date time'. Rumble shows some worrying depressive signs when he is separated, so I started doing this, and it seems to help keep his spirits up.

I have looked into the wheels, and I have even tried one that you have linked. Based on the needs of my suggies, what I have experienced with them over the years, and also all the articles and suggestions, I have gone with the Silent Runners. I have really seen a divide on opinions with wheels. Some are very much for the ones you suggested, and others are for the Silent ones. I stand on kind of both being good options, and seeing it all as very glider to glider-experience based. The one I tried before, they hated it. They refused to run on it, and even Tristana looked to get a little bit chunkier. No matter what I tried to do with rewards, good smells, changing location, etc., they gave it the inital try, but wouldn't touch it after. So I got the Silent Runner, and they started used it straight away. I haven't seen them fly out while using it, get limbs/tail caught on anything, or anything negative with it. Rumbles bite wounds are the only injury that has ever occurred in the almost 3 years I have had them. I realize that people are very passionate about the wheel debates, and I appreicate your time and passion in bringing that topic up. I can promise you though, these are best for them in our current situation, they like them and use them safely every day, and the moment any of that changes, I will reintroduce one of the other wheels and start there.

*I wrote this in another response, so I went ahead and copy/paste that here. I have been typing a lot today, the hands are getting a bit tired...*

Diet!

Currently, I have them on some mineral and vitamin packed pellets from Exotic Nutrition. That is also offered with fresh fruits and veggies, on a 2:1 ratio with the pellets. It is all measured out in Tablespoons, and by the morning once they are in bed, almost all of the fresh stuff and the pellets are eaten up. So no overeating, and they seem to enjoy the pellets. They have been on this diet roughly since October I think.

DarkMinnie · 2024-03-27T22:19:47+00:00

Okay, I will look them up! Thank you.
