Came to post this. Monthly donations. Bumped it up recently.

God damn it now I cant unsee it

This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.

As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.

But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there’s 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?

For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.

Just made up numbers.

Of course, don’t get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That’s not the intent here.

I used it to make a meme.

Wouldn’t recommend it.

That’s like using your company email.

Ive met a bunch of people who deeply regret sending everything to their university email to have that inbox shut down after a few years. Heck, had a junior hire recently complain that her university email was the primary for her banking, and once it was shut down, she was struggling with trying to reset her password.

Can never trust ISPs with that data.

They’re marketing companies too. And imagine sending critical health emails to a company who wants to also sell you services, and suddenly, you get ads for it.

Jeez, you’re right and Im sorry. I blast these while in the bathroom and pick communities that fit it without thinking.

I’ll do better and I really appreciate the modding of this community. Keeps us above board.

Well damn that’s a good point. But what a weird ass question.

The subreddit drama post has more details about this too

Honestly the best Photoshop alternative I found.

I actually checked it out last year because I was curious about the whole AI autofill in Photoshop, where you can give it a cropped art piece and it’ll fill out the remainder.

If your experience with Photoshop is from CS5, you’ll hate this new version. They removed a lot of the tooling that I was used to. Maybe they simplified the toolbar and everything is tucked into different things. I struggled to modify my art piece and remove the background.

I found myself going back to Photopea immediately.

As for the AI autofill thing? It’s a shit gimmick. It barely works most of the time. And honestly, if I was to use a tool, you’re better off using a AI art tool and then “Photoshop” them together. Then use whatever the hell Adobe cooked up.

One of the many posts in there

My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.

Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.

And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.

I… What?

I don’t know what half those things are but I laughed at the words “Breast Mints”. No idea what it means.

I’m actually pretty happy for this enforcement. I think a lot about accessibility, and car owners that do this are causing a lot of issues.

You may also know from my post history that I’m also a frequent poster in the police problem community, so this is a rare thumbs up to those folks.

I gotta admit, I was pretty amazed when they built Polygon out of scratch. It was just passionate game writers who is wanted to share the content they like reading. The first year was full of great writing. Then it kinda faded into the background, which isnt a problem.

Seeing how that happened gives me hope that a new website filled with passionate game writers will sprout up.

The best PM I ever had was playing zone defense and just deflecting every possible thing that could disrupt the creative team. Let us cook for more than a sprint.

Bad ones are constantly coming up with new requests, mid-sprint adds, don’t really have answers, and create more blockers than they resolve.

Wait, this doesn’t work?

Speak for yourself. I had a security guard who watched me scan then try to run up to me when I finished to recheck my stuff.

Like dude, you watched me from the beginning.
