I suspect (but have no science to back it up) that it’s a risk factor for many things. I had ear infections more or less constantly in my childhood and were on antibiotics the whole time until they finally stooped working. The end result is that I’m now deaf on one ear. I get why they were prescribed, it stopped the acute pain but no one thought about the long term

Great idea... in a safe city
It must be exhausting being this afraid of the world around you

What makes an API modern? Almost all projects posted on HN say they are modern.
In this case, it seems to mean "what I'm used to"

Its my gripe with the latest Dune adaptation. No way that actress was old enough to be Paul's mom unless she had him when she was 6 years old. She looked more like his siter than his mother.
It bugs me when they don't have age apropriate family members with such obviously wide age gaps.
This is vey much what I had in mind, I think Rebecca Ferguson is like 12 years older than Timothée Chalamet
I can’t help wondering how the AI would judge the clearly very attractive, but not white lady on the front page of the link.

You're also seeing the effects of plastic surgery and/or aggressive anti-aging procedures. Actors are aging slower, superficially, and this is leaving less leading or main roles (in an already diminished blockbuster schedule) open to a new younger group of actors. The same actors are staying around longer. For marketing reasons, there is less incentive to debut a new actor (unless it's a serious prestige picture), and the actors get caught in a weird state of body modification and refusing to age. A lot of their faces move oddly now. This goes for male and female actors.
Very much so, advancements in cosmetic surgery as well as the strict training and supplements that were not available for older generations of actors. Take someone like Kumail Nanjiani who very clearly were on HGH for his role in The Eternals

That's nothing new.
But neither is older actors. People like Cary Grant, Paul Newman, and Robert Redford played hunks well into their 50s

Almost got misgendered. I have long hair and shaved an hour ago, but still. Also, guessed I have a BMI of 20
