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

The main program is open, but the development tools are not

Russia doesn't care about consistency

Idk, I'm from Europe

Have you talked to your therapist about signs that you may be a white dude?

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.

It's a spectrum. Talking to an expert can help you figure out on what range of the spectrum you're in and how to better deal with it.

It's not a competition :/

The Threads situation

Besides all the other stuff mentioned, you can invite them to stuff occasionally and prepay everything. Make it a family event if you want to.
