Jesus fuck. Denied entry because the clowns who thought this face[0] is a good idea inadvertently screwed up somewhere else. Slaves to the algorithm. Disgusting. Takes diffusion of responsibility to a whole new level.

I’d bet a decent lunch that these dummies tested it on themselves. It’s like QA-ing my own stuff. That one path I implemented works fine. What do you mean there are other ways?
I’ll add a dessert to said lunch if the accuracy of a representative sample is better than a dice roll.
