First Trump's idiots will do something stupid. Then Kamala will overreact and do something stupid which infringes on all our freedoms, like extra spying and cracking down on speech and curtailing the right to protest.

Now everybody will learn that I'm ugly.

This clearly only applies to situations where the kids have more money than the parents. Generally, family helps out when they can. If you can't help, then don't. Obviously you shouldn't help your parents financially if they're more wealthy than you.

I've never heard this before, and it sounds gross and stupid. If you have the power to help your family then do it. Ignore the psycho who lets his parents wallow in poverty.

Although personally I'm more broke than my parents so it's not an option.

In order to answer this, I'd need to compare the efficacy of both the for-profit and the non-profit organizations. In some countries you don't get paid, and I don't know if that leads to blood shortages.

Bakeapple cheesecake is the real deal.

By "self hosting" do you mean serving apps from your own computer, where that computer is always online so you can access your own apps from the net on a client machine? Even when you're at work or out in the city?

I can't put my finger on it. I keep trying to watch it, but it always loses my interest. The plots sound amazing but there's something in the style that pushes me away.

I'm pretty sure that's just a genre of video you can find on any video site.

umm, are you suggesting that all discs are male???

As I job-hunt, every job listed over the past year has been "AI-drive [something]" and I'm really hoping that trend subsides.

KMFDM's house

I should research what would be required for that.

I'll give them credit for sticking with it so far. I even keep getting updates. But I assume they're brainstorming ways to end the one-time payment installations.

Yeah I'm not going to pay their subscription. The whole point was to avoid Adobe.

Pay three times as much for a "feature" nobody asked for.

I like this (and largely follow it), except that I occasionally need CMYK color space for printing, and GIMP makes that extreeeeeeeeemely difficult and annoying. That's why I use Affinity. I got the software for the single lifetime price and I'm hoping they let me keep it...

That's too bad since they recently purchased the excellent Affinity suite... which I originally bought for a single lifetime price, but they're switching to a subscription model. So my favorite editing suite might get ruined two ways.

This is cool, but are they really the beast we need to bring back? Where will they stay?

woe is bro

So you've tried these techniques and they didn't work? Or have you not tried them at all?

I hope some insane person has tried all these things.

I think most of us have a good idea of the benefits and drawbacks of Linux/Windows/Apple.

I have a Windows machine for media production, because Linux doesn't support all the software I need for media production. I use Linux for absolutely everything else, because it's better for literally everything else. In truth, a MacBook Pro would be better for media production but they're too expensive.

Sadly, all dogs are temporary :(

Interesting. I might try this.

Yes

$44 is more than my gym membership, and they have dozens of bikes and other equipment. These Peloton people are diseased.

I'm quoting OP's summary (or quote). I'm implying that Microsoft is hostile to Linux installations generally.

"wasn't supposed to"

Pick something to get good at, then really work to get really good at it. The younger the better. But be focused. Ideally something you can make money with.

This is a good ad.

Except that "the women" on your sites are often bots controlled by the site. Men will drag themselves through hell when they're led on by a bot, too. And the site gets to control the bots.

Something so simple shouldn't require maintenance.

Just unplug them until you need them. Make sure they're not connected to the internet.

Yeah it sounds like being buried alive.

It's really surprising that something so obscure became a meme. What's the first instance of the comic being represented with line segments like that? How did they come to be recognizable?

Wow people have a million things to say about this.

So this is either something vulgar which I (a person experiencing colorblindness) cannot see, or, there are no shapes in those bubbles at all. I think it's the latter since I can't see shapes in either bubble.

EDIT:

Oh it's that

i iI Ii I_

thing, which I never understood

Thanks for the downvotes I guess? Not sure what's wrong with my suggestions...

I don't quite get it. Is the problem that you miss being pursued by younger people?
