Can you guess what new hobby I've taken up?

Second real attempt at a digital work. I'm continually surprised by my progress with drawing 🤠 I don't think I can go back to pencil and paper unless I'm on vacation or something...

I plan to fully render this one with color so this might be the project for all of December 😅

Finished the drawing I posted a few days ago. I'm really happy with how it came out! Took 7-9hrs but felt like maybe 1 😅.

I've been struggling with faces for quite a while but I think I'm getting there!

Finally got a graphics tablet after drawing for a year with pencil and it's a world of difference! Undo and layers is like enabling god-mode. It's also nice that the pen doesn't follow previous strokes like on paper.

Braids have been a challenge, especially with perspective. Probably another piece or two before get them really figured out 😅

Literally talking about guillotining billionaires in the meme

I was in it for 5 years. I wouldn't have made it another decade. Glad you're on the other side. I hope you can find your emotions, the ones that you have somewhere inside that really care for you in a way you haven't felt all this time.

Also therapy if you can afford it and find one that clicks with you. It's frustratingly helpful in that it doesn't feel like you're doing much but the reinforcement and structure is everything.

And definitely more dates!

It's in our genetics to engage in a perpetual exponential quarterly growth and make our decisions based on the benefit it brings to our investors. Any caveman could tell you that smh...

E: my god it's a hyperbolically absurd take in memes and even with the caveman comment I still need to /s apparently...

Still the best graphical explanation of the Fourier transform. Still wish they just showed this in signals and systems and saved the remaining 3 months of the quarter.

Especially if you're older and know that everything you've worked for is at risk. Especially if you're middle aged and your hope of a comfortable old age is being destroyed. Especially if you have family, and know your children's future depends on it.

I know you mean well but fuck ageism, the youth always fight. They don't need a pep talk, older people do.

Always file. If the IRS collapses you paperwork means nothing. If it survives a collapse, having not filled will bite you in the ass.

Lawsuit submitted

Lower court determines whether to stay the action while case is handled

Changes are unrecoverable since department can't pay staff managing the payments

Law enforcement given warrant to force stay

Law enforcement chooses not to enforce because they have no motivation

Payments never restored

Case goes to supreme court

Law interpreted in favor of the administration because clearly no means yes, it's obvious

Congress doesn't respond due to right wing majority

Checks and balances are dead.

Real men are also able to access their emotions, express their needs(both emotional and physical), develop and share empathy, and nurture deep relationships within their community.

Though i would argue none of what either of us said has to do with gender.

Relentlessly locking your own humanity away behind a strong man facade built on shame is one of the biggest reason these fuckers become so hateful and make "manliness" seem like such a putrid prospect.

Just count the dead, injured, displaced, starved, and dehydrated on either side. You'll find pretty quickly the numbers are extremely disproportionate. If that's [not] a baseline consideration for your judgment then you should think on that.

Nationalized services do not need a profit motive.

I wish we could slap it through our heads that socialized systems are OK to be lossy. They are paid for through taxation. They do not need to profit off the consumer. Privatization reverses this. It defunds them and moves the cost to the consumper, implementing a profit motive.

There are few simpler concepts.

I am building a new PC. I want to run Linux and windows on separate SATA 2.5/3.5 SSD hard drives. I need windows (Winn11 Pro) for work. Linux will run all personal computing needs.

I have a horrible history with dual booting Linux and windows (grub getting murdered).

I currently plan to shut down the PC, switch power to the drives, and start up on the other OS.

Can i use a switch which only toggles power to each drive while keeping data cables attached to accomplish this? Will this be possible with windows on one drive?

Is there a smarter solution?

Thanks!

  1. you've described youtube in 2008 and it was a much better platform.

  2. the issue isn't what time to show ads, or where. It's the furthering invasion of marketing into private spaces and lack of apparent concern for end-user consent. There are security concerns when devices can hijack eachother. This technology is likely to rely on some means of detecting idle time, like comparing consecutive frames as the article states, so you try reading a long text on screen in an RPG, and then you're local kroger brand ad plays.
