Why do "realistic" AI results for man/woman have non-proportion big heads compared to their bodies?

    Also so many head photos taken from an angle right in front of the face or a bit higher, distorting the shoulders in ways you don't notice but which matters when the algorithm tries to splice everything together into an averaged model

    If you find an expert who agrees you don't have a severe enough case to need treatment then they won't necessarily formally diagnose you (your record would still show you've had the evaluation but not the diagnosis).

    There's a physics argument that information can't be destroyed, so in terms of causality it has an effect (see butterfly effect for reference) but because of various physical thresholds like the planck length, general limits on measurement precision (uncertainty principle, resolution limits, detection limits), chaos theory, etc, at one point it becomes indistinguishable noise.

    Because the far right Israeli politicians are buddies with far right Christian nationalists (who in turn make up many of the Nazi groups)

    They (in particular groups like AIPAC) prefer to reject the opinions of actual Jewish people outside Israel in favor of working with local extremist groups. Israeli far right jews frequently call other jews "antijewish" just for calling for peace. And Nazi types love to help them out. Groups like jews for peace gets ignored because nobody supports them publicly, and Nazi types gets protected by right wing politicians like Republicans.

    The only thing they have in common is that all those groups are totalitarian authoritarians, with similar obsessions about Israel's borders. You'd think those extremists would have a bit more survival instinct - but who am I kidding, if you have brains and common sense you don't become that kind of extremist...

    And as usual it's a problem because conservatives funnel money to hate groups like this, in all countries

    The police regularly dismiss unfounded reports without additional action, it's how they're supposed to respond. They're not supposed to tell people "this thing you're doing is neither illegal or harmful and the people who got upset had to search for it to find it, but they did get upset so you should stop"
