17. That's the "buggy wetware" part
Sun Aug 6, 2023, 02:27 PM
Aug 2023

Some person chose to use a 6 year old, badly focused, badly lighted, badly posed photo of a young woman to feed some buggy software. Young folks change. Attitudes and health change photo appearances as much as lighting does. Unless the crime is from 6 years ago, the person choosing that photo on the left needs some chastising.

I'm ancient, so a 6 y.o. photo of me will just show less saggy facial skin, very slightly less gray in the hair, and wrinkles that are slightly less deep. For each decade you lop off, that 6 years becomes more significant.
