Generative AI has been an absolute game changer in my retouching work. Slightly worrying that it’ll put me out of work sometime in the future, but for now it’s saving me loads of time, handling the boring stuff so I can concentrate on the stuff it can’t do.

Last one I ordered was left inside a wheelie bin. Which my neighbour helpfully put out the next morning.

Same with David Icke (the UKs version of AJ)

Yeah, what makes it good is the unparalelled feature set, which is also why the pros use it.

I mean that makes absolutely no sense at all. It’s what the professionals use for good reason.

Pro retoucher here. Guess I’m just a silly goose them.

Years of wakeboarding. I should’ve known, seeing all the knee braces on the older guys.

Moved into a newly renovated flat that hadn’t been cleaned. So there was a think layer of brick/plaster dust all over every surface. Then spent months fighting a four figure electricity bill because it turns out the builders had used my particular flat to charge their kit for months.

9 failed attempts before the real doctor relocated it on first try. I only found out because I sneaked a look at my notes. WTF indeed…

Dislocated shoulder. It went over the front of the socket which is apparently quite rare, and the most painful. I was blacking out front the pain, a friend fainted, ambulance gave me laughing gas which was great. Hospital visit was not fun, they tried various kinds of morphine which didn’t seem to have much of an effect, then ended up giving me some sort of date rape ‘cooperative sedation’ meds and letting the student doctors take turns to fail at relocating my arm and fuck up the socket even more.

Renault Vivaro. She’s called Julie. Julie Vandrews. Also know as me Julie.

Yeah I’m lucky I guess that my particular condition is deemed not serious enough to warrant carrying medication. Just gotta live with it, thoroughly unpleasant when it happens though!

I should probably carry this, my heart likes to randomly decide 220bpm is a good idea every now and then.

You missed one-eyed Egyptian.

I almost exclusively play VR FPS these days. I only have time for short <1hr play sessions so my RPG days are on hold until life allows it.

Once had to explain to an old lady (in full-time employment in a job that requires use of a computer) that the mouse moves around on the desk surface. She was trying to move the cursor by putting the mouse on the screen.

Glad you enjoyed it! You must have very good coordination I think my high score is under 30!

I’ve called for an ambulance twice in the UK and both times they told me I should drive instead.
