Dragons aren't real 😢 My friend (50F) insisted on using an AI photo for her Tinder profile, and now can't understand why two men have accused her of catfishing after meeting her.

20.0k Upvotes

She asked my opinion on the photo, I said no. Really really no, don't use it.

Now, two men have told her to her face she doesn't look like her photos, one even walked out on the date saying he was very uncomfortable.

She is not seeing it. She just keeps showing the photos and saying "but that's me" and "I told them my dress size" and "they're fatphobic".

Edit- the AI photo is of her.... Like it's one of those apps where you put 8n a few photos and it spits some out in a different style. So... It's "her"... But it's not, you know?

Pictured are the two worst. The entire bunch was melted together and into the inner sleeve. Neither I nor the seller had ever seen anything like it. Would’ve been the last of the orders I needed for my decks, too.

Dragons aren't real 😢 Lost my iPhone 🙄 I can see it on the map but cannot get to it. Hiccup Wing roller coaster at Epic Universal, Orlando

Post image

Phone was in my pocket but somehow slipped out during the ride. I reported it to the Universal staff and they told me to use a QR code to fill out the lost & found form... I had to remind them that I don't have a phone to scan the QR code lol. We got it figured out and now I'm hoping that a coaster technician happens to see it and pick it up.

This is only mildly infuriating for me because my boss paid for it and pays for the phone service. It's still "my phone" but he pays the bills (woohoo!).

The annoying thing for me will be any 2FA or MFA tied to that phone that I'll need to reset over the next week. I probably lost some pictures that I'd prefer to have but I'm not really a picture guy so those are too important to me either.

Here's hoping the bossman pays for the replacement 🤞

EDIT:

I didn't post this looking for sympathy. So many of these comments are simply mean spirited.

  • I know the park will not shut down a ride to get some dork's phone
  • I know that I could have & should have used a locker
  • The ride is a simple family friendly ride, no inversions or barrel rolls, about 45mph max
  • A lot of people wear hats and purses on this ride (again, it is not intense)
  • A lot of people leave their wallet & keys & phones in their pockets, unless it's a specifically intense coaster (like Stardust in the same park)
  • If you look at the picture it fell out at the END of the ride, when the coaster was stopping
  • Yes this all could have been avoided

I posted because it's mildly infuriating to lose a phone.

https://youtu.be/XvJYwwQDmEE?si=Tc1OdmH9NTnvZJfP&t=140 the loose article policy is much more lax with Hiccup; all bags must go in lockers, everything else can stay with you as long as secured in a pocket. You can of course put your phone wallet keys in a locker if you prefer.

Dragons aren't real 😢 Getting disconnected in a SINGLE PLAYER GAME before almost beating the boss

For context, no this isn’t Nightreign, and no I wasn’t playing Multiplayer, was playing purely solo just going around trying to progress through the story and I get disconnected somehow right before I kill the dragon. Logged back in and it was back to full health.

I get that the game would want you to be connected for the white phantoms and other stuff but why do you have to kick me out if my connection was interrupted?

I spesficaly booked the hotel room with balcony accses just for it to be bolted shut. The door can only open a crack.

When I asked the front desk, they told me, "We have it bolted for guest safety."

I was on the second floor

Edit: Because everyone keeps asking, It was a short trip, so I just brought a carry-on. Otherwise, I would have had my Leatherman. And I am not getting a screwdriver for a one nights stay.

EU imposed new laws for duty pricing with flat fees for items below 150€, buying anything from china now makes the final bill 4x larger! 15€ just for import fees is insanity when ordering 5€ of products...

But hey at least you can now go to EU stores which sell the exact same products for 5x the price!

My 3yr old is on a journey to try as many different kinds of fruit as he can. Today we tried dragon fruit. It tasted like Tylenol and Jello had a collaboration. Disgusting. Couldn't even finish the first bite! 3yr Olds verdict is - it's really icky.

Edit : Main verdict in the comments is that I may have gotten a bad one. We are going to get another one to try when we go looking for new fruits at the Asian market later today.

Dragons aren't real 😢 Ai ruined my baby shower game

Our baby shower is dragon themed. So I sent my Mother-in-law, who is in charge of organizing, some pictures to make a "name that dragon" game. I asked her if she wanted me to make up the game which she said no she'll take care of it.

Cue today when she had it printed out and I looked it over immediately noticing #3 was ai generated. Then I noticed every image image was altered. Oh well I'll play it off as a make up a name for that dragon game. Included are the original images I sent her

Edit: for anyone wondering who the dragons are

1 Blue eyes white dragon - Yu-Gi-Oh

2 Dragon - shrek

3 Draco - dragon heart

4 Eliot - Pete's dragon

5 Falkor - never ending story

6 Maleficent - sleeping beauty

7 Mushu - Mulan

8 Ord - dragon tales

9 Shenron - Dragonball

10 Toothless - how to train your dragon

Other dragons sent to mil but not put on the game

Sisu - Raya and the Last Dragon

Smaug - the Hobbit: desolation of smaug

Spyro - Spyro the dragon

Trogdor the burninator - homestar runner: strong bad email

Real funny Rachel

Edit: I should clarify why this bothers me. Having the book segmented helps my reading stamina/motivation. It tickles my ADHD brain to finish a chapter and when I don't get that feeling I have some trouble reading through a book. I sometimes forget that most people are neurotypical and can just read books without checkpoints.

Dragons aren't real 😢 Airline said this sticker is prohibited. The reason is even more baffling.

Post image

Was departing at the airport for a holiday. I reached the bag check in counter and hoisted my bag onto the conveyor belt. The following is what transpired:

Airline Lady (L): Sir, you are not allowed to have this sticker.

Me: Looking confused Sorry did you just say that I’m not allowed to have this sticker?

L: Yes, you are not allowed to have this sticker.

Me: Looking baffled Why? It just says do not feed the dragons.

L: Yes sir, because we do not know if you actually have dragons in your bag.

Me: utter shock and bewilderment …uh, you know dragons don’t exist. Right?

L: We don’t know that for sure sir. I need to keep our staff safe from such things li…

Me: like dragons?

L: Yes that is correct sir.

Me: Wait, you’re serious about this?

L: Yes sir, I am. I can’t allow this to be checked in with this sticker.

At this point I was mustering up all my energy to suppress the laughter that was about to come out. So I just peeled it off and saved it till I got my bag back when I landed. Mildly infuriating.
