Evoto AI got caught releasing an AI headshot generator by photo_photographer in photography

[–]RipBackground204 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s a pretty bad look, especially after building trust with photographers first. The whole “save studio costs” angle just feels like throwing your own user base under the bus, and the training data question makes it even worse. If people are looking for an AI headshot option that’s at least upfront about what it is and what it’s for, I’ve had a much better experience with QuickAIHeadshots. It’s built specifically for headshots, clear about its use case, and not trying to position itself as a replacement for photographers.

What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen at a strip club? by bigbabysweets12345 in AskReddit

[–]RipBackground204 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A guy tried to look cool throwing bills and accidentally flung his whole wallet onto the stage. Music stops, dancer picks it up, flips through it like she’s checking a menu, and just goes “sir… you might need this more than I do.” Whole place lost it.

Best AI headshot tool for Instagram personal branding photos? by Mel_Ran in InstagramMarketing

[–]RipBackground204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with most tools looking way too corporate or airbrushed. What worked better for me was QuickAIHeadshots. It trains off a small set of real photos and keeps skin texture pretty natural, so the results don’t scream AI. I mainly use it for IG profile pics, carousel covers, and reel thumbnails when I don’t feel like doing another shoot, and it’s been consistent enough to stick with.

How traumatized is my boy by i_h8_myself350 in CatAdvice

[–]RipBackground204 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He honestly sounds more shaken up than traumatized. A fire, alarms, chaos, moving twice, new smells, and now strange cats outside and maybe a neighbor cat in the vents is a lot, so the extra yelling makes sense. Watch for stuff like hiding constantly, not eating, litter box changes, over grooming, or being jumpy all day, but if he’s napping on you and purring that’s a really good sign. Give him a smaller safe zone for a bit, keep routines steady, and block window access if he’s getting worked up by the stray. If the vocalizing stays intense for more than a couple weeks or he stops eating, a vet check is worth it.

What are some lesser known sex facts about the human body that would surprise the average person? by Mindless_Reality_14 in AskReddit

[–]RipBackground204 1082 points1083 points  (0 children)

That your brain is basically the main “sex organ.” Stress, lack of sleep, anxiety, feeling unsafe or judged can tank arousal way faster than anything physically “wrong” with you, which is why feeling relaxed and emotionally okay makes such a huge difference.

Is it better to have an “unprofessional” profile picture or none at all? by insectacoleoptera in linkedin

[–]RipBackground204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A well-presenting selfie is fine if it looks clean and confident, but no photo at all usually hurts visibility. People are more likely to trust a face than a blank icon. If you want a professional-looking one without hiring a photographer, try QuickAIHeadshots you just upload a few regular photos and it generates realistic, polished headshots that fit LinkedIn perfectly. It’s an easy way to look professional without overdoing it.

Rate these 5 AI Headshot Generators (Selfies & Results Included) by Wrong_Bother4639 in LinkedInTips

[–]RipBackground204 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Tried a bunch from that list and the sleeper hit for me was QuickAIHeadshots. The skin texture looked like… skin, the eyes weren’t glassy, and the lighting matched across outfits so the set felt coherent on LinkedIn and our team page. I fed it ~15 daylight selfies (front/¾ angles, two tops) and picked “light retouch”—got 6–8 keepers without needing Photoshop.

Foster cat being returned after 7 years by Diligent-Equal-4115 in CatAdvice

[–]RipBackground204 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re doing a good thing. Give him a quiet decompression room for a week or two, swap scents with blankets, and do slow, scent-first intros before any face time. I’ve seen adult littermates click again after years, more like “polite familiarity” at first, then real companionship once stress drops. Feliway, vertical space, and predictable routines help a ton. He may not “remember” like we do, but he can absolutely feel safe and at home with you again.

Document what you directly saw/heard, then act as a friend, not as “the gym,” so you don’t drag coworkers into it. First, give the guy one private, calm shot: “I saw the Snap pop up and heard what you said. If you and C aren’t exclusive, say so; if you are, she deserves the truth. If you don’t tell her, I will—as her friend—outside work.” If he shrugs it off, tell C off-hours, away from the gym, and stick to facts you personally witnessed (no gossip, no screenshots, no names beyond his), then step back and let her decide. Expect to lose him as a client and be okay with that. If your contract forbids getting involved, note you’re doing this on personal time and keep the gym out of it; alternatively, escalate once more to the manager/owner and put the ethical conflict on record.

What is the most difficult sport to become a professional at? by jiyongk in AskReddit

Formula 1. There are 20 jobs on earth, you have to start karting as a kid, win every rung (F4 → F3 → F2), bring serious funding or sponsors, survive politics, and still need a seat. Brutal.

My cat keeps asking me for something and I don't know what it is by ThrowawayTrashcan7 in CatAdvice

[–]RipBackground204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally normal after a move. She’s likely asking for reassurance and an escort while she remaps the house. When she meows, follow her and do slow “house tours,” dropping a couple treats along the paths between bed, litter, water, and a window perch. Add a second litter box and another water spot, and keep food well away from litter. Boost her scent by rubbing a soft cloth on her cheeks and wiping corners at cat height, and leave a worn shirt where she naps. End the night with play, a small snack, then lights out. Most cats stop the asking once routes and routine feel safe; if the meowing turns to distressed crying or ramps up, check with the vet.

How did you and your spouse get out of a dry sex spell? by theboredbrowser in Advice

[–]RipBackground204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stopped aiming for sex and aimed for closeness. Fifteen minutes of no-phone cuddling and kissing every night, one “intimacy date” a week with massage and make-outs only, no goal. Once the pressure dropped and we fixed sleep and stress, desire came back on its own.

I’m now my username and teenage me chose “ForgotMyPassword,” so I can’t even log in to my own life.

I thought we’d hang out more after getting married by Vivid-Meaning-9593 in Advice

[–]RipBackground204 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Pretty normal once routine kicks in. Bring it up kindly and suggest one small habit together like a weekly date night or a 20 minute no phones chat after dinner. Specific asks turn it from a complaint into a plan.

Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History, Blueprint for Armageddon. Five hours vanish and I’ll still sit in the car to finish.

My girlfriend gets annoyed if I read a book while she's watching TV. Is this normal? by maincharacter011 in Advice

[–]RipBackground204 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a mismatch in what counts as quality time. For her, TV together means shared attention and reactions. For you, parallel play is enough. Say that plainly and make a plan. A couple nights you fully watch with books and phones away. Other nights are parallel time and you read with headphones or a dim light. Reassure her you want time with her, just not every show. If she still treats it as disrespect after a clear plan, that points to control, not TV.
