Imperfections are what make things unique and beautiful. Be they people or manufactured items. The fact that each of those jugs is slightly different than the others (not only in size) is something that we’ve lost in our homogenised, mass produced world and it makes me sad.
Has anyone told him that you first have to have a big dick before you start trying to swing it around?
Lato, League Spartan, League Gothic are my three most used fonts by a wide margin. Lato and its variety of weights for most things, League when I am doing design work and need a cleaner title or header.
Lately ive been weirdly taken with TT2020 Style G, which is an odd name for a no-name font that replicates an old imperfect typewriter. For whatever reason, switching my writing software to that (Manuscript) suddenly fired up my writing flow.
I’m the guy who is consistently picking up old games that he’s always wanted when they go on a steam sale years later for single digits. So I’m constantly three or four (or more years) behind. And I don’t really mind because I’m always a single player who doesn’t enjoy any form of online multiplayer.
So do I care that I only last month picked up EU4 and a bunch of DLC for cheap, not one bit. Same for Civ 6.
I’ll happily chug away at my old games that no one cares about anymore.
A terrible way to die. My grandpa saw a lot of kerning in 'nam. Was never the same after.
Are the vertical lines angled? Or is that just an optical illusion?
It’s crazy to me that they’ve set up a system that essentially requires recidivism in order to keep meat coming through the doors to function, and yet somehow think that that’s normal.
Jail time isn’t primarily meant as revenge or punishment, but more as the time required to revisit the mistakes you did and to make you again a functional member of society.
Dear Americans;
This is what happens when your prisons don’t rely on private profit motives to operate.

I know, I’m just really lazy!
I like Noto Sans. But as a Linux user it often irks me too, since every…single…language…is included in most distributions; so half of my time finding a nice font that I just installed consists of scrolling past a bajillion Noto variants.
Gawd, bad Keming is the worst!!!
The entire system is designed to make the second part of that statement uniquely difficult.
Billionaires don’t stay billionaires by letting other people join their club.
“In exchange for making me rich, I grant you the privilege of having enough money to pay your bills and maybe go to disneyland once in a while.”
That’s not a return on your effort for your own benefit; it’s quite literally serfdom with extra steps. “You harvest me 1,000 acres and I’ll let you keep two acres to take care of your family.”
Because “Work” is just effort for some stranger’s benefit; a CEO or Corporation. Whereas the result of effort enriches you and/or the people you love.
I have a weird obsession with fonts. I love a good, well designed font. How it looks on the screen, how it looks in print. Nothing too gaudy or showy, but a really good League Spartan or Lato Light. (Not a fan of serifs)
Other than that, normal stuff; 3D modelling, writing, etc…
My other interest that might fall “outside the norm” is that in University, if I had continued beyond my bachelors my primary focus would have been studying the Bronze Age Collapse, and that topic still fascinates me to this day.
Edit: Oh…and spreadsheets. There’s no problem in the world that can’t be fixed with a well designed spreadsheet. All problems come down to data sorting.
You’re vastly underestimating how much the rest of the world likes us far more than them.
America would be immediately gang raped economically by literally every nation on earth if they tried to Ukraine us.
Plus a number of them would be happy to deploy troops as well.
Maybe use those arms for more than just finger-wagging.
If that’s the tack he wants to take with his argument, than in fact that opposite is true.
They’re a business. You provide them money and they provide a service. So in that respect, there should be no such thing as denial of service for ANYTHING because you’ve already paid for it.
When your government is so afraid of socialism that they won’t even mandate that the two companies they contract out share some compatibility for the sake of convenience.
“Should we tell them that part of the deal is that they have to both work with the others technology?”
“What are you, Lenin?”
Once Kdenlive got its stability issues sorted out, I was shockingly impressed with just how good it’s gotten. I still wouldn’t put it against DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro or anything, but it sits along with Inkscape and Blender as a great example of what Open Source is capable of in a professional setting.
