i ordered a stamp of my lil' crest there :) I hope I got a useful size... and I hope the ink really is as blue as they claim
"I personally fully agree, but unfortunately not everyone thinks as logically as you or I." I :) am :) going :) to :) run away :) from society
i am strongly opposed to mined precious stones and even somewhat opposed to lab diamonds that contribute to the whole bloody Diamond Mystique -- and even *I* want to punch the hacker news commenters being like "women are just suckers for marketing"
I think they'd have to drop the sworn silence though, and putting in the gideon flavor without twisting the plot might be tricky
have now read gideon the ninth for the third time and I will be furious if I don't get a movie out of this
alexa answers better when I do a fake deep voice :I
it is the second WA billionaire divorce and a second time i will tell you: their wealth belonged to *both* of them and every piece of coverage calling it *his* has echo effects in how people see the situations of far more vulnerable women
is there a good software solution to arrange images and text in a custom font on a page layout for print such that I have access to features like "wrap the text around the non-transparent pixels of the image, not just the bounding box" and is it, like, Adobe firstborn-child expensive
it is truly ridiculous that in the service of Protecting The Consumer, you can't install a font on your iPad..... without downloading a third party app that tracks the fuck out of you. good job tim apple
we are a lot more aggressive when identifying sanctimony as manifested by people we dislike than by people we like. this is true even when we say we agree with the sentiment behind the supposedly sanctimonious expression.
actually i think i have to retire "digital priesthood" as a term for the rarefied nature of technical skills because it's unfair to priesthood. priests are available to the community without fee.
are there cool labor history projects people like? youtube or podcasts or whatever? especially if *not* Let's Contextualize Our Politics With History content, more like how people fanboy about Rome
those things that try to get you to be braver by evaluating "what's the worst thing that could happen" are just bewilderingly counter productive. are most people just bad at catastrophizing or
it's fully infuriating to realize that facebook genuinely has this solved
I know if I wanted to talk about software or whatever I could just start sounding off and people would chat back but it isn't as easy when what you're curious about is the perception of digital typesetting in zine circles or preserving an adequately green taste to the mint in a mojito syrup or matching various false golds and brasses in home decor
what do you do when you want to discuss something niche and ask questions but you're not socially embedded in a scene enough to have opportunities
the more you learn about US prison conditions the more horrified you should be and the million book project is doing really cool (and really welcomed!) work. check them out: https://millionbookproject.org/
bellowing along to bonnie raitt and my very well-bred boyfriend politely not commenting on the hickishness of it all
even lefty people thinking that immigration is good only as long as immigrants maintain less power in their community than they do. yeah, maybe they're so *graciously* going to say they're okay with brown people coming here to do back-breaking work for pittances, but as soon as it's californians moving to other states, programmers from other countries getting $$$ jobs here -- they can say abolish borders but there's an awful lot of policing of boundaries that look an awful lot like borders to me
i have such bitter thoughts about americans' attitudes toward immigration
is there an equivalent of "you are not immune to propaganda" for gen x thinking they don't buy into corporate stuff
wearing a hat so large I can only see my phone,perfectly adapting to the experience of being "outside"
starting by defining simple simple behavior, you can then implement it with some kind of magic wand built in blackbox functionality and still be confident you know how it behaves. there are downsides to that tradeoff but I'm finally grokking the upsides
I definitely get why this goes well with tdd, a thing that has always seemed super tedious to me before (even in a ruby codebase)
mostly I think it's going well except that I've not got the hang of googling for things yet
babby's first rails tests
take my paypal and free me from ambient security concerns
you could specify it'd only work for a certain amount of time so you could purge tables and shit! please postal service i am begging you
I would be happy to have a fee associated with this UUID. I will pay you ANOTHER 55 cents every time someone sends a letter to it on top of THEIR postage, USPS
i know there are 3rd party services that do this but like... i don't care about having a physical address to give people, I want people to be able to address an envelope with some kind of human friendly UUID and have it mapped to me by USPS computers
why do you have to rent a physical PO box to get mail without telling people where you live? shouldn't they do virtual PO boxes by now that *only* forward mail?
dose 1 thank God thank God thank HIV research
my parents are getting into tiktok. i think you should know that
are there things that are fun to track just to see how often you did them, not to nag yourself?
work morale at critical levels. trying to live up to my pull of the Sun for this week
does anyone else have a gut reaction against "I resonate with [that idea]" in place of "[that idea] resonates with me"?
considering getting postcards printed of the cool drawing I was saving for my someday cult
you know, if you don't get a big superiority rush from avoiding it, pop music is really really enjoyable
bruh i promise you're still gonna be able to sort out your referents
some of the language around pronouns parallels the whole "gay people are bad because how will the species survive," as if the Correct Thinking were that "he" and "she" and all usefully distinguishable pronouns must be abolished altogether for everyone
I'm not real confident that the social responsibility indexes manage to do the opposite but boy am I confident that this shit makes the world worse
did we all know that there are investment products designed to streamline the process of investing money in tobacco, alcohol, and gambling? "Vice" funds is a pretty cutesy way to talk about profiting from lives destroyed. https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/act-stock-quote/
i'm working on a fun effect using hard mix but right now to get something approximating healthy anti-aliasing, i have to size up all the layers to 200%, apply the layer mode, then resize back down
anyone know how to get the equivalent of lowered "fill" in procreate for layer modes where that has a different effect than opacity?
is there a *fun* dataset I can get from a GDPR export to practice playing with sqlite? everybody always shows exercise tracker data that I don't have
"one part timeless tradition, one part hyped-up fashion" is an *excellent* formula
holy shit i just stumbled across ukraine's eurovision band and it it so good
a word peeve i have with myself is instinctively reaching for "alternately" when I mean "alternatively"
i don't even want to watch soviet lord of the rings i just want to see screencaps without context
@prologic it is cool to read through other peoples though so im maybe a free rider
@prologic oh my god no i ... cannot probably handle adding that by hand
ah sorry to be clear this is necessary only if you want to simulate the look and also have art easily usable for actual printing
it turns out if you want to simulate a risography look in procreate, the trick is to have your art layers in black/transparent set to multiply, and use a fill ink color layer set to screen as a clipping mask above each. i am sharing this because i had to learn it from a tiktok
what do we think about anonymous political physical pamphlets these days
@prologic ah... yeah... sorry, time zones are the worst #ky3n6la
observation that is a lot less catty than it sounds at first I promise: if you go on YT for DIY content, a really good signal is seeing someone in the thumbnail who is not Naturally Hot (some unprized facial features, not skinny, etc.) but still Aesthetically Put-Together (some effortful hair, fashion, background, or makeup).
"but maya why didn't you just set the color profile and colorspace" ha HA you are like a little baby, who thinks that commands do what they say
friday night i learned that if you are trying to handle grayscale pngs in image magick you need to convert them through bmp before they'll work in a pdf
@prologic also does the clock break anything for you? I know it's wrong but I didn't think it mattered a ton to fix
@prologic fully agreed, it's very gross, and it's making light of stuff that people still don't take seriously enough.... (#lstfx7a)
briefly discussed with boyfriend how one would code up one's own equivalent and it turns out no programming project gets to be fun after you start trying to account for people being jerks
I wish there were USA-only postcrossing. 1.20 for a postcard adds up super quick in a way .36 doesn't ....
does anyone know what the etiquette is about sending the same postcard design out a whole bunch of times for postcrossing?
