So glad I canceled my sub holy fuck.

How the fuck is this a valid executive order when it’s clearly purse string shit. This is something congress would have to do.

30 plus here. I just started drawing everyday. Little gestures to work on people. I will caution you not to take too long of a break once you have a roll going. I worked everyday to get to a certain speed and skill level then stopped for a while due to issues and lost some skill but I can still draw okay.

As you improve there will be a difference between what you can see and what you can do, your perception will improve faster than your hands. This will be frustrating but every artist deals with it and it is a sign of clear growth. If you really like what you are doing that is great but if you bage what you have made and can only see mistakes, take note of the mistakes learn from them and move on. You have more to draw.

Also please study from photo refs and real people for a good while it helps build your understanding of how things fit in space and especially the structures people and animals.

I recommend adorkastock.com for references of real people but there are plenty out there.

Wasn’t just the corpos it was a joint project between the corps and the government. And in rebellion people are giving a rival nation full access to everything. If China had an obligation competitor you would be smart betting that they would’ve seen millions of holes before dawn just form people trying to spit in the face if tbe US.

Its a sensible protest, wtf is China going to do with that data that the US government and attached corporations wouldn’t do, right?

What hostages? If there were any left they died during Israel’s bombing campaigns.

People keep acting like hosting this shit and developing it is free. Its not. Donate to your instance and the development of the back end and all the opensource software you use. Bluesky has 20 million people using it it’s no surorise they are looking for a profit model that won’t scare the base off. I would rather it be subs instead of endless ads and algorithm tweaks.

I expect subscriptions soon. I don’t mind subscriptions as much as I mind advertisment honestly. Advertising is negative content for these types of services. It detracts and makes the service way less useful but subscriptions at least will fund upkeep at a greater efficiency of user per dollar than ads.

To lurkers, consider financially supporting the fediverse particukarly the homeservers you use if you aren’t running your own.

I recommend using bluesky like old twitter if you do use it. Follow people you’re interested in otherwise you’ll only see the most noisy types.

Is this a fresh account that you went to the discover tab on?

The land lords who used the service should also be held liable. You mean to tell me you get a report with a binary answer and you just trust it with no due diligence? If there is no penalty for blindly trusting an algorithm they will just move to the next tool they can use to be bigots.

Pretty neat. I kind of wish they sold shares direct to users as well. Lemme hold some of the bsky biscuit bro

You know a lot of people are going to be trying to fuck demons. I know I am.

I can have conversations with strangers without much difficulty. I have no choice and people are uncomfortable if I am silent in a lot of scenarios. I identify common ground with the person typically based on where we are meeting and if I don’t intend to connect to the person I keep conversation general and don’t ask names unless it seems like I may run into this person again. I then forget that name probably but it’s nice to ask.

I hadn’t realized how high it was until seeing this and canceled mine.

We have stock piles that we can grant to other nations without congressional approval. We use these to keep supplying Ukraine when Republicans act cute. It just sounds as a reallocation of assets. Trump would do this in a heartbeat. His own son has bragged about stealing Palestinian land.

Harris absolutely would not put American boots on the ground to fuck with Israel’s neighbors because Israel isn’t worth it in the slightest. But what Israel does have is a AIPAC and the current political situation means that if a shit ton of money and political favors and compromot gets turned against Harris the moment she or Biden piss Netanyahu off enough, ruining the presidential election but also down ballot campaigns.

I understand genocide quite well. If there is justice America will face a great many consequences and Israel will as well. But the key issue right now is Trump will win if Kamala does not. And Trump will do more than make the genocide worse he will make this country worse than before in ways that will cost lives here and abroad. That isn’t saying Harris is perfect, it’s saying Trump is worse. And I know that sucks ass. It does. But it’s been sucking ass and it won’t be fixed until we have a real national left party or otherwise that has an actual edge in a national election.

At least other nations have more balls and I’m hoping international pressure starts to weigh on the US as well. But Trump is famously manipulatable by dictators, love Netanyahu etc all the coming sucking memes. I don’t think for a moment that Trump would yield to and international pressure in a positive way. Ignoring all the domestic garbage and christofascist apocalyptic bullshit.

TLDR fuck man shit sucks

By providing more weapons, removing all pretext of even a symbalance of a spine, putting our troops on the ground in neighboring nations to expand the fuckery. This can get much much much worse and I don’t know why people ignore it. Trump will lead to greater horrors that’s the whole reason we are pissed because we don’t have real options right now.

Trump even stated he wantsd to accelerate it. Which was a major strategic mistake on his part he could’ve just shut tf up about it or lied about forcing a ceasefire but he can’t think ahead at all.

Yeah and hopefully they inspire more people to try things out and see where they go.

A shame to see competition dwindle.

Gonna keep it real with you chief. TVs should have never needed updates.
