You experienced the on going desecration of the american social contract. The diabetic-coma inducing, entirely proposturously large servings of small town diner pie is absolutely a thing. I am sorry you were cheated of this.

☹️

There’s a weird sort of etiquette with introverts. With some people I am replying instantly, but scheduling the send on a bit of delay so they don’t feel pressured to essentially start a real time chat. Is everyone too in their head in this exchange? Probably. Still think it works best for some.

I read them 🥲. Not a corpo tho.

I don’t know if the average cop has made it into the 90s mentality yet. Where I grew up there is a greater than zero chance this still gets your ass beat.

But if we could get it to take off within the evangelical crowd, just imagine.

My inability to make a proper feline t’bite joke here might be what gets me to pick up french again.

I want a meet cute story about this person and the Tennessee guy

Eh. There are those monks that self embalm.

Try either crtl +L or from the top menu Windows > dockable dialogs > Layers

honestly, it does not feel dissimilar.

Is there anything to sort of replace InDesign? I am doing cruel, time consuming, and unspeakable things with latex atm.

I’m not sure it could be defined as a conversation.

I wish you the best of luck working out whatever it is you are going through. Hang in there buddy 💪.

…?? Gimp is what it is. It doesn’t hold your hand-and there is admittedly an element of bootstraps. But once you are used to it, it will do what most people need it for.

Why have such aggressive opinions on software you apparently don’t even use?

Oh. Hands down. I miss the old creative suites. But the current product? Glitchy pos. Fuck em. Once you use gimp for a few years the pain dulls. Now how you think inkscape is comparable to illustrator is baffling. Is illustrator also a shitshow now?

Nah, pretty sure it was the ai jammed in everything.

Depends what you are doing. If you are drawing-krita, if you are manipulating images-gimp, making svg stuff-inkscape. I’ve been using gimp long enough that the newest photoshop makes me want to crashout.

It’s not any more corrupt than the christian organizations. Would I love it to be a perfect blameless foil? Sure. But sparing that, it tries to be kind and accepting, faithful to a creed Christians have allowed themselves to forget en masse.

If you are of that flock, you need to study more. Look into the role of Satan—how it evolves between the testaments; who wrote the gospels, when, and under what political pressures. It’s convenient to believe what you’re told—but I recommend the hard liberty before the easy yoke. One should not indulge in such decided opinions without an understanding.

Any recipe recommendations? For the life of me can’t find a vegan binder that holds it’s shape two bites in.

It’s mostly rural vs urban. Not uncommon to hear red small town people, who have never visited the blue population center of their state call it a crime ridden tax drain (lol) and vocally support secession.
