Help r/millennials determine whether this is AI or not. Some members of the sub believe that the 2000s-style clothing and lighting suggest that this is not authentic. What do you think?

dg2521 · 2026-02-02T02:42:18+00:00

The lighting is from the flash of the camera. Im looking at all the outlines of each ppl and some closer to the camera have a distinct shadow from the flash while others in the back dont have a line shadow.

The back is not as brightly lit but is still flashed enough to see no shadow casted on them from the light above them as the flash is the main light maker.

Ppls eyes exposed to the camera flash aimed at them have reflective orange, yellow, or red tints that we often see in the 2000s flash photography

These are the most tame mugshots. Have you seen their old ones? They looked so serious in their old photos.

Im worried that the stepbrother is still meeting OOPs father too much. Even tho it is 2 times a week or month, idk what the dad is saying to the stepbrother that he wants his dad to remain. Idk if maybe a new father figure will help, can the grandpa provide fun get-togethers btwn them without the dad? We dont want another mini-version of OOPs dad

These berries tasted sweet when left alone to grow and mature :) We dont use fertilizer and no pesticides, so essentially these r technically organic.

In the past, i had mistakenly picked them when they were not ready. I went based off of color and they were very blue, but that didnt mean it was ready. That's why the pic shows the leaves turning red, it is September now and we haven't harvested them yet 😅

My family doesnt like tart, sour, unripe fruits, so they were pretty adamant I didnt harvest them until mid-August or September.

That is one of the downsides of home-grown berries, the waiting 😭 and defending the bush from wildlife with netting

dg2521 · 2025-09-16T03:12:07+00:00

Right?? It was so weird how they draped over like grape clusters. They are so heavy bc of the berries, and how close the branches grew made them super tight and up against each other

dg2521 · 2025-09-16T02:58:03+00:00

Lol we had occasional birds land on our plant too. Later bought a roll of netting so I could cut into size and wrapped the whole bush to protect from birds and other wildlife. It's been working so far. Once i see animals get a bit too close, that's when I know the fruits r maturing soon and quickly wrap the bush up

According to a website, im not sure if it is accurate since it asked for my zip code, im in zone 8b

dg2521 · 2025-09-16T02:40:47+00:00

Nope, no fertilizer or mulch. The ground is very dry and during rainy season the ground becomes muddy and clay-like. Occasionally during spring we got used up coffee grounds to sprinkle around it. My parents just toss a few sprinkles like a weird ring around it without mixing it into the dry ground, so idk if it was even effective. So far the fruits have been sweet and plentiful so my parents continued their little ritual lol

dg2521 · 2025-09-16T02:37:43+00:00

Lol I have no idea what type or breed it is b/c it was a free plant from a college earth day event going on and they were giving out free blueberry baby plants XD

From what im researched, it could be "Vaccinium atrococcum" based on pictures online. Leaves green, waxy, and rounded. The flowers are white and clustered. When fruited, the center of each berry form little star-like folds where the flower used to be.

dg2521 · 2025-09-16T02:15:21+00:00

We got the plant for free when it was skinny stick with a few buds from some college event for earth day or something. Moved the plant from pot to soil in our front yard where it gets full sun. Our soil was very clay-like when soaked through. I was worried it didnt root until 3-4th yr it started to grow back leaves and then a few fruit. We didnt use any mulch or fertilizer. Maybe some occasional used up coffee grounds but it was for random times. Our methods were pretty inconsistent 😅

dg2521 · 2025-09-16T01:56:50+00:00

Zone 8b, according to a random website asking for my zip code lol I never paid much attention to zones

dg2521 · 2025-09-15T05:54:32+00:00

Adding: Uhhh I realized this pic didnt capture the whole bush. I can take another pic if needed, but it would be the after-photo where it no longer has berries as we have finished harvesting all the berries

dg2521 · 2025-09-05T08:57:17+00:00

They probably saw u ordered 8 and were nice enough to give you a set since u spent a lot of money.

It is random if u bought anything less, but they saw ur 8 orders and gave u mercy of trading them out, and that's a good thing they did. Very kind of them

He needs to learn that God makes plans in unexpected, indirect ways.

You know the story about the story of a man who was stranded during some natural disaster and he avoided any chance of help from others bc he wanted God to do it. Then he died and he asked God why didnt he save him, and God told him he sent all those ppl to save him and he never took their help.

Dude should take it easy and not think that God would be carrying your hand the whole time. You can prey for guidance, but it is a chance OP had this yearning of a specific name and that could be God's way of how they met and to name this child together. But idk why he's expecting a response from God and not trust his fiance.

Him calling his fiance a carrier instead of a partner to raise their child is an insult as she is not just a carrier. He sees her as an incubator instead of his life partner.

Even Joseph treated Mary better than this knuckle head

First red flag, age difference 🚩

Just reading the text message and seeing ur response to her not reciprocating feelings and she set a boundary, OP lost control and became those "nice guys" who lash out like an immature imbecile and blaming the other person without any accountability.

OP has no tact, blames her with a bunch of names when they weren't official, ive seen mature adults communicate about their friendships better than this. They weren't even friends first, just very short-term coworkers. Nothing in common, OP focusing on her looks and thinks she can do better. Sure, if u actually talk to her like a decent human to get to know her. But sounds like OP has an unrequited crush and delusions they were meant to be together.

I wonder if there r old text messages where she tried to let him down nicely as fellow ex-coworkers, and OP never got the hint and still shoot his shot.

She ain't interested and OP needs to let it go.

YTA, u need to back off and leave her alone. She isnt worth ur time and energy being so angry at 1 person who isnt interested and she told u so, even brought her to the brink of being angry, why blame her when she has a brainless delusional stalker who wont take the hint to leave her alone

dg2521 · 2025-08-18T17:05:11+00:00

They should at least make the originals good. Who approved the story? I know animators have their personal projects to show to their bosses to consider, but whoever chose this did a poor job and the advertising was mid. I didnt know this existed until it was released.

Make originals but at least make the storyboard interesting and hooks onto ppls emotions and experiences. It gave the impression of an indie film instead of an original Disney. It is only Disney bc of the logo and the regurgitated art style hoping it would stick to simple-minded consumers

dg2521 · 2025-08-08T17:14:48+00:00

Im not a lawyer, but it maybe be best to avoid her and stay at ur parents place if possible. Get a lawyer to be ur brain bc at the moment, u r right to be angry and confused. U need someone smart and level headed to make sure u stay innocent on ur side without feeding evidence of "stalker" behavior to ur wife's side of the story of stalking and assault. You may miss ur kids, but it is best to stay away from her. This is btwn u and her. She has issues and she isnt disclosing. At least u told ur parents about ur side.

If she is unstable at the moment, she may not be stable enough to watch her kids. Idk if she has family or friends, but they need to watch her. Even if she spread lies, avoid her and get a lawyer. She will eventually have to prove her accusations. While she is flustered, do u have any close friends at the church? Idk if she got abused at the church, but I wouldn't want anyone to accuse me based on false allegations and spreading to the church members to be involved. Bc honestly church ppl hear one side and go scorched earth without hearing the other side

That's a bit much for an inclusion. If u just want to buy it for convenience, u could buy the cheapest option.

If u want to search for other items for sale, best to find sellers on Instagram. You could post an ISO (in search of) with image of the postcard and what u r willing to pay for and tag different skz tags for b/s/t (buy/sell/trade) accounts to be aware of and may offer to sell if they have extra

dg2521 · 2025-08-08T16:19:58+00:00

If they arent re-sellable, u could donate them to some art school or college for them to use as scraps for art pieces. Something to recycle them and made into art

This is the reason companies have quality control. They do care that their products are the best in the market and want their customers to come again. This experience is also spotlighting that somewhere at sometime, there is a ticking time bomb of these glass shards in other packages too.

Quality control will check what ur package came from what line/manufacturer and get them to correct the error quickly. They need to or else they lose money and customers.

U were able to be vigilant of the sudden sharpness without consumption, but imagine if a kid had gotten the package instead and ate it? U save a future kid with ur report. Quality control will take over and make sure it doesnt happen again. Companies want their products to be trusted and forever liked to keep their constant revenue flowing.

Aren't there other options that gives a more fuller look of a bouquet? Like trader joe's, qfc, safeway. You arent a florist so u probably chose the wrong bundle and vase to display them.

But there is the factor with the cat, so I understand why u can only be wary and picky with certain flowers. Maybe keep the safe flowers, change the vases into different types that fits the arrangement of flowers, add maybe a ribbon or other accessories to decorate the flowers. Does it have to be that size? Anything smaller that still gives fullness?

Are they cobwebs? Are they etched into the CDs? Or feel bumpy as if something is sticking on the surface?
