Nobody will hear a statement from the other side of the story because the other side is a dead 13 year old.

It’s different for everyone, I’m overweight and don’t have tiddies at all, but I’ve seen men who looked like a fairly healthy weight who had noticeable tiddies.

I would argue that there’s also lots of professionals who don’t use or need those features. Not everyone is using photoshop for print work, which that link seems to mostly discuss. It is still true, though, and every time I try to switch away from photoshop I run into some niche missing feature I need that most people wouldn’t care about.

You may be surprised. I use Photoshop in my profession and I am desperately trying to move away from it. Not just because of the obvious Adobe is the worst, but it has been getting progressively worse to use for me. I don’t speak for everyone of course but at least for me there’s really only a few very small things that would make me switch instantly.

Photoshop just infuriates me lately, you’d think with all their employees they’d figure out how not to lose my hotkeys every automatic update, or that I’ve been using it for over a decade and don’t need annoying tutorial popups for every tool.

The priorities of a large company can often be opposed to making their software better, like adding AI into everything or adding new features nobody really needs so they can have a flashy presentation at some conference, or deprecating features in order to move people to their latest acquisitions program instead.

Blender is a great example of open source being totally viable for replacing commercial software. I use it professionally and it’s never been a limiting factor for me.

This is very common for a lot of these programs, I’m not actually sure about Gimp, but Photoshop, Krita and Affinity Photo all let you. Same with a lot of the other digital art programs I use for work.

This is awesome, I hope more places do this, or at least put much greater restrictions on it.

I had a nest outside my bedroom windows for years once, it was just fun watching them do their thing.

I’ve always been chill with wasps and never had a problem

The nickname thing really puts this into perspective. Imagine saying ‘I’m Jim, my parents call me Jim, everyone knows me as Jim and it’s what I prefer to be called’ and then some absolute psycho asks what’s on your birth certificate and exclusively calls you James. The level of disrespect and lack of basic human kindness in these people is astonishing.

There’s one guy in my little group of friends who is an unapologetic hugger, even though the rest of us don’t really hug he’ll always hug everyone goodbye. I’d say it’s possible some guys don’t enjoy it, but I actually really appreciate it about him, it’s nice getting a hug and sometimes I really need one.

For anyone who really doesn’t like it they can always offer their hand first, but on behalf of all the guys who need a little affection from their buds sometimes I wanna say thanks for being there for the friends who need it. Even if they never say so I’m sure some of them appreciate it.

it was about the hardons we collided along the way

You can be negative if you want but this is still a step in the right direction.

At least now they actually have to weigh up the costs, before it was free.

I’m sure that plays a part, but I’m going off this link which seems more based on individual actions than overall donation amounts.

Wowee, yet another LLM. I bet this one’s going to be super different somehow.

If you imagine the log as someone laying down with their head furthest from you and they are looking up at you. It stands out quite a bit to me but I have bad eyes and am tired.

edit:

is that creepy face I see intentional? Lovely shot either way.

One thing I really don’t understand about America is how it’s one of the most charitable countries on earth - but when it comes to proven government run charity there is usually strong pushback.

Like I understand how it happens I just wish people would evaluate their politicians more and think about whether or not their values actually align.

I appreciate your maths but you’d be pretty surprised how much stuff can fit in that area. I probably also live in a very ideal spot in my city, it’s certainly not the case for everywhere. I’m pretty much right between a suburb full of housing and our ‘nightlife’ area. And the inner city where I work is just next to that. I am not exaggerating that I can get to work on my (e) bike in 15 minutes. And there’s heaps of things in that area. It’s a big place, though, so sometimes I do need to get an uber but I often go weeks and months without needing to.

I used to live in a very car dependent city and now I’m somewhere that I can easily walk or bike anywhere I need and get there within 15 minutes and I am very grateful for that. Our biking and public transport infrastructure keeps getting improvements, too, which is awesome.

If they want people to use their cars less they need to start making that an actual option. This is not on the individuals but the government.

People are pretty predictable ultimately, we take the path of least resistance most of the time. If it’s quicker or cheaper or easier to do something one way then we’ll do it that way.
