How did you learn inkscape?

Apparently a judge in bumfuck, CA decided it’s not copyright infringement if they destroy the media they copied afterwards. Not kidding (except for the location).

I think it’s prettier but harder to glean information from.

A power move would be to answer “get your own candy, you’re an adult”.

Reverse centaur go BRRRR

I didn’t see you making that point earlier. I disagree with it and I don’t think there’s anything left to gain from discussing this further.

You keep going back to an unexisting ideological divide. I’m a communist. Most of Lemmy everywhere is socialist. That was never the issue.

“Non communists are toxic too” is not a defense. It’s an admission. Of course you’ll find toxic examples in any sufficient large group of people. It’s when the group culture fosters that behavior (or at least fails to curb it) that it becomes a problem.

You’re fighting hard to deny this, but think earnestly about why so many staunchly left wingers couldn’t stand them anymore. It’s not because they want “from each according to their means, to each according to their needs”. The (stated) ideology is exactly the point of agreement.

Ideological differences don’t explain the brigading, dogpiling, constant trolling, bad faith arguments. There are only so many times an instance admin is willing to ban single users from a place until they get fed up with a culture of abuse and cut ties with the whole lot.

Min-maxing is an RPG term describing players taking flaws in their characters to purchase boons in unrelated areas. It results in unrealistic and unbalanced characters that are nearly impossible to roleplay and boringly effective in a narrow field.

When I learn stuff like this about Japan it makes me think: “how can such a shitty society still exist?” Then I realize they are min-maxing real life.

I’m sure they’re all patting each other’s backs there. But I’ve interacted with them elsewhere and when they are exposed to anything but straight tankie bootlicking they turn vicious. Not a single decent interaction, and I’ve had several.

Ha! Haha! Hahahahaha! Good one!

You’d be surprised. Especially on city utilities.

I’m 8" 6’. Those are two measurements.

I demand a midriff.

I’ll expand #2 to any art or creative endeavor that takes skill. Drawing, singing, writing, voice acting, regular acting, sculpture… It is so rewarding to just create stuff for yourself with no pressure to perform.

Die, muthafuckas, die!

Can still hear it.

Yeah, the fumes are trippy.

“How come there are individuals that think on their own? I thought everything in the world was a reflection of my own consciousness. I cannot fathom a world where people don’t share my thoughts and experiences.”

Indeed, very few people know journalism jargon, and authentication has vastly different meanings depending on the sphere of human knowledge one is inserted into.

Alternatively:

“Surely the rules don’t apply to me?”

In fact, they do.
