      He looks better in the right-hand photo because it’s heavily altered. The hairstyle actually appears to be (mostly?) original, but the skin tone was definitely changed. Here it is side by side with the original image (source):

        The secret ingredient on the right side is money. That’s the face of someone who sits out on the deck of their private yacht all afternoon, after playing 18 holes at the country club in the morning.

          Naw, the guy on the left is real and has a net worth of ~$165 billion dollars. The guy on the right is a digital creation. If money could make Zuckerberg look like the guy on the right, he probably would have done it already.

            Now that someone else has given him the idea he might run with it. I guess we’ll see in the next few years

            I don’t think so. I think there’s some Trump effect going on with with what’s his face. Like all the money in the world won’t cure personal traumas.

      Skin not being the colour of Greek yogurt will do wonders for one’s humanity.

      Maybe Dr Soong was a big Simpsons fan. It was probably still going strong well into the 2300s.

      He still needs to do something about those dead-fish, soulless eyes…

      Maybe put a beard on them?

        One of the problems with his eyes is that the sclera are not white, but flesh toned. The same weird flesh tone as his face skin. This gives the impression that his face is paler than it is, and also that his eyes are only as big as his irises.

      1. Get natural Vitamin D

      2. Put some product in your hair. Moose, bull semen, wax…

      These are how a freakish nerd suddenly looks normie. Prob the easiest $230K a year PR job you can get, but it took a decade and a while for them to convince.
