You... you shut up. 🥲

I’ve had a similar experience and tried to adjust my road related interactions with cars when walking or cycling not in an aggressive way but in a “I get to occupy space too” kind of way.

Just because it’s the “road” and you’re in a car and I’m not doesn’t mean that you’re royalty. Take your time, exist, make them wait.

“It's tempting to say we're stepping into a new world where all forms of media cannot be trusted,”…

Yes, we are and it’s shit for the human mind to have to constantly do a double take on everything to make sure it’s actually real.

“but in fact, we're being given further proof of what was always the case: Recorded media has no intrinsic truthfulness, and we've always judged the credibility of information from the reputation of the messenger.”

Sure subjectivity, biases, and other factors skew things, that’s a thing. But I’m sorry, “Any information humanity has ever preserved in any format is worthless.”, is quite the fucking claim.

Been using Bear Blog for a few years now and it’s been very cool as a small static blog platform.

No excess menus, no ad junk. An enjoyable experience all around.

The ability to filter comments actively as you mark them off as completed is magnificent.

You mark a comment, it hides itself. Neat and tidy, fantastic.

Why doesn’t Adobe do this, you ask? Who the fuck knows. Especially since you used to be able to in Acrobat.

Why? Were people complaining it was too helpful?

Adobe sucks but InDesign is still pretty much the standard; it begrudgingly does a pretty good job.

Affinity Publisher is coming along nicely though. And yeah Scribus is not too bad either.

Word being a word processor also sucks at document layout. Most software that isn't made for laying out documents suck at it, but people all try. My god do they try...

Excel is okay as long as it stays in its lane.

It is not okay if you’ve ever worked in a printshop or do graphic design and people send in newsletters or brochures or some shit done within Excel.

Excel is many things; it is not fit to layout documents. Blegh.

I don’t know what’s sadder the giant Safeway sandwiches going from $9.99 to $13.99 or my mortgage about to go up like 200 goddamn dollars…

But where else do I get my malt vinegar fix?

“You’re awfully loud over there. You haven’t tried to just let the world be all night.”

So classic it’s classique. 🧐

NOS4A2.

A very creepy and fun read. Also very fun to listen to Kate Mulgrew read it for you.

"Pfft. Look at Alice over there-"

"Muhfuccin Batista Bomb!"

DEATH 💀

Charlie Huston’s “Caught Stealing Trilogy” or “Hank Thompson Trilogy”. One of my favourite modern noir pieces of work. A damn solid 3 book series about a guy who gets mixed up in shady stuff and can’t seem to find an exit.

I actually found and read the last book first, not knowing it was a trilogy. Which made me think it was trés cool how things in the past were referenced and added more weight to the main character/world. Turns out it was book 3 of 3. 🤪

All three made/make it hard to get into clunky modern pulp/noir style fiction since.

Sigh... I could do with more epic quests. Run from orcs, drink some dew, get my steps in.

I know a headache when I see one.

You win this round, Chase!

Haven’t upgraded myself, so I just use the web client or the official iOS app so far.

Isn’t that just mid-poop James Garner?

Hey pig piggy pig pig pig.

D'ya promise?!?!

Having EVs make sound for safety makes sense, but can they sound like mini-trains?

Got too much going on and my own server shenanigans going on at the moment but I just wanted to say that this is all dang wholesome. Kudos all around folks! 🤗

Not to flagrantly self promote but that’s what I did with neocities. Used it as a static linktree alternative:

(Again, provided as an example, not “look at me”.)

Every Graphic Designer's first 50,000 job interactions...

Just never interact with anyone. Christ, it's not that hard people! (This comment doesn't count.)

Looks like it’ll add some fun stuff for people who play on Realms via consoles/mobile.

Interesting. Will give it a look. Thanks!

Ha! Jokes on you, I’m not 38 until… next week. Guck!

(I meant to type “fuck” but “guck” works just as well.)

Yeah. Surely they’ll listen, one of these years… 🤪 Might be a while yet now that they’ve got their fancy new “AI” toys to play with.

Always looking for an alternative…

Beans… I was afraid of that, had hoped my search skills were just letting me down. Thanks though!

Yeah. The bad old days when there were two trigger paddles but instead of two more easily accessible buttons above those… Let’s just jam them below or above all other buttons on the right side. Depending on the layout I often found it easier to just remove my entire left hand from the controller and press them; just friggen ideal.

Overload indeed. Cripes!

That FPS controller is pretty badass though. It’s got a sort of Spirit Halloween quality to it.

Just admit you’ve been watching old SNL clips on YouTube, Pete.

Burn it down! (Respectfully!) (in Minecraft)

"Prematurely encouraging or enabling children to alter their very biology or natural growth, no matter how well intentioned and sincere, poses a risk to that child's future that I, as premier, am not comfortable with permitting in our province."

The overlord of this bit of land has spoken! 🙄

I like how the embedded tweet in the article is all, “OMG! They want to destroy our culture and the gallery is letting them do it!” Nice return to tradition posting, freaks.

What’s easier tackling people who might soup a sheet of plexiglass? (Assuming you know for sure that’s what they’re going to do and you don’t accidentally tackle tourists from Idaho.) OR cleaning up after they do their spiel for a bit?

Eh whatever, I mean it’s the Mona Lisa, it sucks anyway. 🤷‍♂️

Wholesome-ness on the internet? In this economy?!
