Really? What an extraordinary conundrum. Best of luck!

People abusing people is no accomplishment. It is especially disgusting to pick a champion for it based on a physical trait.

I do not miss social media and seeing this random shit.

I know where you’re coming from. I started in Corel, then into Macromedia which would later be absorbed into Adobe.
Modern day Illustrator still doesn’t follow the same governance of usability the rest did. Vectoring is just a standard tool in the belt. But the program it’s done in should expectedly have the same behaviours as the companioninh programs.
For example, vectoring in all other modern Adobe software has different keyninfs, methods and behaviours to Illustrator. Things as simple as pathing in PS, AE, and ID is fine differently to Illustrator. Same shit, but different menus, windows, even cursor behaviours.
It’s like all the software that supports driving is left-hand drive. But the one that does it best is inexplicably left-hand drive.
I’ve always understood it as changing its legacy would disrupt the Illustrator base so hard—thanks for proving this, btw—that they just keep it MS Wordy. An application that functions as a rogue. But also why Illustrator is slowly falling out as vector artistry continues to be more irrelevant. Kind of like Dreamweaver’s early end days, but it’s still got plenty of legs left for a while.
- Comment on I still haven't figured out how to do this 1 week ago:
I’ve recently had to use Word. After all these years, I still don’t understand it.
It’s like Adobe Illustrator to the rest of the Adobe suite. It just does everything it’s own way with zero familiarity to Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere, AfterEffects, Lightroom, etc. All the way down to the interface and menus being it’s own thing.
But say that to someone that knows Word (or Illustrator) well and they look at you like you’re an idiot.
“Yeah, you have to sacrifice a goat and hit this exclusive key combo, obviously.”
I swear I’m not an idiot. I just haven’t been in the abusive relationship long enough to try make it work.

I wish meme’s like this included a little footnote of sources. It’d ensure those that need to see it aren’t so dismissive.
- Comment on Anon likes pizza 1 week ago:
I built an outside oven and hit that up for pizza and bread. Also take the top off for the cast iron so I can slow cook pork shoulder and whatnot.
It’s really easy, cheap, high quality.

I know English words are being used for the most oart, but I make little sense of what they’re saying.
- Comment on But think of the landlords! 2 weeks ago:
Ugh. Disgusting.
Give me a single structure on a plot of land, 10ft from my neighbours walls, and a lawn to maintain, any day I live for the additional costs on the place I never spend the best hours of my day in. Worth every gallon of commute fuel. My brain is so aerodynamic.

It is many things. Institutional misogyny can be a cause for some.

per se “by or in itself or themselves; intrinsically.”

My female friend had a female doctor try to talk her out of a contraceptives prescription; that she was 28 and should be having babies…
It’s not a misogyny thing, per se, rather just people that define their lives by the templates supplied by societal stereotypes. Never take advice from a person that doesn’t think for themself.

I 100% RDR and killing cougars with a knife still haunts me. It’s exactly as it sounds. Go do melee combat with a gigantic pissed off cat that almost always comes in pairs, sometimes a trio.
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 3 weeks ago:
The main quest was terrible. Should never center the plot around the player when there’s custom creation and open world. It’s forcing a backstory or behaviour onto the player even if they don’t want it.
I played a big Michael Clarke Duncan brute rolling melee as Idiot Savant. The intro and main quest was entirely incompatible with character, full of things they wouldn’t have done, would do, or should do.

No! No no no! Not in the house! Outside, Bear! Outside! Go on! You’re getting a bath later too!

And Fallout 4 was kind of mediocre.

And before anyone complains about “Not everyone can switch jobs” bullshit, yes you can. You’re literally employed right now. You’re in the best position you can be if looking for work.

Comparing everything to their insignificant home town.
“Wow! Ancient aqueducts! We don’t have that back in Springfield, but we have faster table service.”
Okaaaay…
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 5 weeks ago:
I ask, “So what do you do?”
If they answer with hobbies and interests, they’re more my kind of person. If they answer with their job stuff, well that’s just their main life thing.
- Comment on Wikipeter was the founder of the site in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library 5 weeks ago:
I frequently check Wikipedia citations, just to be disappointed. Wiki sources can be a great shortcut to good citations, but often I realise much of an article’s content is built out of the soggiest cardboard.
- Comment on Among 2025 games with over 10K reviews, Deltarune is the most highly rated 5 weeks ago:
WolfQuest RP servers were not what I thought they’d be. They are definitely not playing the season through cooperatively but without using the chat.
- Comment on I ditched Netflix Premium for 4K Blu-ray, and I might never go back 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, but I still buy vinyls all the time because I like the artwork, extra bits and pieces to read, and other goodies included sometimes.
It’s like the top shelf stuff I get out on special days. Physical formats are just kind of like that. They’re easy, simple, curated libraries, just like a bookshelf with all your favs up there.
- Comment on Trying to activate a new BT account 5 weeks ago:
If there’s a 1TB cap, I don’t even understand the point of needing a 1Gbps connection. I assume their market is just people that want to say they have a 1 Gbps connection, but all they do is stream or play the odd game.

Well even if it were intentional, that individual was dependent on the incompetence and they were right.

Nah, his voice would still be annoying af to everyone there too. If Bob Marley is Jamaican, Jar Jar is the noise a balloon makes when you pinch the mouthpiece and let the air back out.

I’d do my job for free for a few days just to help people out (which I like doing) and there’s parts of it I enjoy.
But I like paddling down the river much more.
For most people, a paycheck is a business financially compensating you for the time you lost and the effort you did, for them. The business is of no value to the employee otherwise. The compensation must be fair and worth their while.
- Comment on Can't stop till brimstone 1 month ago:
Yep. Did this recently actually lol.
But also commonly known as a war thing, done to render the enemy’s land infertile. Can’t grow food for a while and stuff.
Neither of these things really make much sense in context, though.
