does anyone know an image editor on android that can actually handle the simple use case of drawing a solid color over text? I had to do this with a dodge tool

When I was touring the catacombs under Paris my tour guide kept yelling at me because I wouldn’t stop naming all of the skulls and crying when I imagined them as women

just sat thru a 105 minute meeting where the PM tried to set a requirement that the fucking glosso consistently answer linguistic variations on the same question-intent the same way

finished haikyu (manga). it really deserves all the praise it gets. makes me want another sports manga that good but I'm afraid this might be another hunter x hunter problem

apparently students used one of those fucking glossos to write some of their presentation in a grad microbiology class my SO is in, resulting in garbled nonsense. ironically enough, the class is on cancer

start with condiments and good vegetables. if you roast carrots or parsnips well they're like candy. also take a look at The Flavor Bible; it's basically a giant cross-index of flavor combos, which might help you branch out from stuff you already like

every once in a while I see posts from bay area rationalist types and they're always just redditor pseud shit

everything is easier if you're doing it regularly and a little bit at a time. laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc.

also get a hobby that makes you leave the house. it will keep you sane

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

The Trump-Miller administration's single-minded focus on migration is starting to impact the availability of drugs in the US, according to this detail from a very good investigation @wsj.com published today.

this is a complete anecdote from a stranger, but windows 11 broke my ability to set a wallpaper until I ran sfc /scannow from an admin cmd.exe and then cleaned my registry; it might not work but it's worth a shot.

reporter whose whole Thing is covering protests: no it’s not, it’s a very basic safety recommendation as we see an increase in nonprofits/501c3s using signups to add people to email lists which can easily be subpoenaed or seized by the state.

this take scans as pretty manipulative tbh

Boo!-per Lund @cooperlund.online · 28d

The “don’t sign up for protests” thing is just an outgrowth of the Online tendency to one-up other people on how much you care. Oh, they’re protesting and signing people up for it? I’ll show them by claiming that’s wrong and you can care more by not signing up.

kind of unreal watching JD Vance host the charlie kirk show. there’s long been complete unity between the right and their media propaganda apparatus, of which kirk was a massive player in, but then ending the show by telling that audience to thought police fellow americans is psychotic

instead of 1 bladder you should have like 16 smaller ones all connected and have to manually control the release of fluid from one to another. and this is a conscious process you have to actively moderate at all times or otherwise theyll start exploding or youll piss your pants etc
