  It’s true often. You don’t hear their story because why would anyone smart want to openly admit to crimes!?

  Anything worth gloating about is probably something that without a statute of limitations or harms someone that can probably retaliate anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Knowing one's place⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, Lemmy is designed to be a replacement for Reddit, not forums. It should comes as no surprise that it encapsulates and continues the norms Reddit popularized.

  You may want to expand on your last paragraph. Not only does that sound like where most of your opinion is, but I cannot really tell what that main opinion is.

  What tropes did Reddit try to own? IMO, Spez et. al. are not intelligent enough to target, “owning common tropes”. I think they just made a twist on forums and it stuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In that case, I’d definitely not disregard vector based apps. Worst case, you ‘should’ be able to do the heavy lifting in what ever app is best for that control scheme, and maybe do some extra work in a rasterized tool if your style truly requires non-vectorized details.

  If you want a lot of your detail to be from traditional methods, it might be easiest to stay in a rasterized app, but if you want the line work or sketching/etc tools to be nice computational tools you can change at will regardless, it might take exploring a few options in order to expose the ‘best’ tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your restriction to raster only apps makes little sense to me, outside of style choices (which is totally valid).

  Most of the features I can think of that would make using a mouse easier I would think would be more likely to be present in vector art programs? Or something with excellent bezier curve controls and tilt/pressure emulation controls in similar fashion, anyways.

  You may have to give a bit more info on what you’re looking for to get really good suggestions. For starters, do you want to draw with the mouse like it’s a stylus? Or do you just want tools you won’t have to fiddle with to infinity to get the shapes you want?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re asking for a traditional raster art program that still comes with nice features for mouse drawing, like curve smoothing and … uh… other things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re asking for which ones have the best/most of those ‘smoothing’ and similar features. Not if they exist.

  I would chime in with a recommend but I’m not intimately familiar with any art app except Blender, and even there it’s mostly modeling and not ‘art’.

  Spotify: “Nono, we don’t have morals, the campaign they paid us for and we gleefully ran just ended.”

  … Seriously, who is supporting capitalists by now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t agree. In wild animals, eye contact is often a bad thing because it can be viewed as a challenge. Similarly, “staring down” someone is very much a bad thing. There are many natural moments when “normal” people don’t like eye contact or don’t feel like making it.

  Similarly, I think most people grossly underestimate their emotional acuity. Just look at how many people fall into the, “I’m an empath” meme, or at how many people don’t actually understand consent.

  You say you’re OK with it, but are you also OK with the constant price hikes for less shitty food?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The shrinkflation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because McD’s has gotten worse.

  It’s still always been shit, but it has also gotten worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably took it as fishing. Asking a very obvious personally identifiable question is how many scammers try to break the ice with social engineering. Ask questions that help the scammer further identify their target or assets of the target.

  A question that anyone should already know the answer to isn’t a great idea, though. If it is you, you should already know if you went to school with them. If it’s not you, it’s still an odd question, because it should be verifiable already on their profile? Either way, the generic question really isn’t sending, “hey I remember and want to connect with you” vibes, IMO. It’s giving, “hey I recently got in to MLMs” vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea Level⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To expand on the idea, even weather effects the level of the tides rather significantly… For a clear example, look at hurricanes. They can approach double digits in feet of storm swell if they’re severe enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea Level⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s shown like that because the water is trying to do that, to anthropomorphise it. Though of course that’s not what the water does everywhere because fluid dynamics get pretty nuts when there’s a ton of land in the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Christmas Animals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dislike pride in general. Nobody should take pride in anything literally inaliable, just like nobody should be shamed for it. They should be comfortable in their own skin and not made to feel lesser for sure, though pride? Ehh… It’s a dangerous, blinding emotion.

  Something easily turned off is distinctly not opt in. They’re still lying to everyone.

  Expect the next person in line to take the first’s place. Eventually, the greedy cunts will figure out they’re just stepping in line for the guillotine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t.

  Sure, there are many people that deserve it, and sure, there will always be the ability for someone to try to be a shitstain on humanity, but to pretend that the effort is futile is literally just ignorant defeatism.

  Nowhere did I ever defend discrimination. I merely said some people do not have a form they’d likely be proud of.

  and moving away from monoculture mass farming would remove the need for fertilizer. There are many solutions that capitalism doesn’t want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Christmas Animals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say subculture is fine. A subculture doesn’t have to be bad or annoying. Identifying with autism is also totally fine. Recognizing kinship isn’t bad.

  Where it goes wrong is using it as an identity outright. “Sorry, I’m autistic” is just fucking more annoying after someone does something annoyingly autistic. Being autistic doesn’t mean you literally cannot learn good social behavior.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Christmas Animals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  High functioning autism is a fine character trait to identify with. Though I seriously doubt someone who’s basically mute takes pride in their autism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Christmas Animals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Support community? Great. Using it as an excuse or identity like many autistic people do? Cringe.

  You don’t see black people going around talking jive, and then going, “oh sorry, you see I’m black” when they catch a confused look…

  Pluribus was such a complete disappointment for me… I don’t know … ok well yea I do know why most people like it. Though for me, I know way too much sfience and tech, so the many parts that are not realistic stand out and fly in the face of Vince’s very realistic style of presentation. That massive juxtaposition royally fucks the whole show for me.
