So long as the result is a bazillion comments with as many upvotes as downvotes on each, it’s a good shitpost. Bonus points if it captures those two cliche users that end up frustrating the hell out of each other as they strive to be first in a 20 comment head-to-head marathon that goes absolutely no where. All because some people take it seriously while others take it as a joke; minimal effort by OP.
This community seems to lean quite a bit toward people taking things seriously, or they simply don’t notice where they are before they unsheath their keyboards.

Yeah. I remember as a teen, my father said I should look at learning Shockwave as a potential career pathway after school. It was taking the web by storm and many people were convinced that Macromedia’s visions was the future of the web.
I still kind of remember Macromedia Lingo. I had taught myself HTML—which was an extremely easy thing to learn for a child back in that day—and I started learning Director, JS, and Shockwave.
By the time I was older and out of school, Adobe had aquired Macromedia. Websites had gone from basic HTML, images, frames, etc. to entirely animated opening scenes vectoring together beautifully over the top interfaces. UX was out the window because everyone’s brain is as happy to explode at how cool an interface functioned…once it finally loaded lol.

To be fair, Macromedia had peak Flash and Dreamweaver for “Website dreams can come true!” era. When Adobe acquired them, they started ruining it and leveraging legacy. Yes, the tech improved as would be expected over time, but the passion was gone. Adobe killed Flash but had already taken its soul years earlier.
People don’t realise many of their favourite Flash games were from 2005 or earlier—the larger parts of the golden era. They were Macromedia games then.

Yeah WH1000XMs are a very popular bang for buck wireless set. 5 is the latest.
That said, I have 2s that still go strong besides the battery. 4s going strong for a few years. Partner has had 5s for almost two, no issues. All plastic hinges.
Not sure what OP is doing. Seems like a difficult part of the headset to break.

That’s similar to the one where they couple breaks up over a misunderstanding and all it takes is one of them explaining in like 10s. But instead someone storms off while the other pleas, and deep down you’re like, “That motherfucker so wanted it to end anyway.” But then we deal with post-break up scenes and you realise they’re just idiots that still haven’t even thought to clear up the misunderstanding via a single text, call, or friend like that afternoon.

Haha, I chucked it on last night after typing this comment. There’s so many scenes where characters have no place being there but they are, because it’s just the public dealing with an action hero.
My partner hadn’t seen it before.
“There’s no way he’s about to jump the building with a horse… Yeah, I was gonna say. A horse would never do that.”
“But that’s the point. You’re so into the action hero stuff that you didn’t notice they played a screeching rubber SFX when the horse stopped.”
😙👌

I think it’s right when he sees someone’s about to hurt her, so he hurts the guy or something, and the guy ends up getting kicked in the balls by Curtis. The scene ending with some awesome “action helicopter” cam of the extraction completed, home boy limping back to the heli holding his balls, “Son of a…”
It’s such a well directed movie with perfect pace too. Even when it goes over top, it makes just enough fun of itself for doing so.

You mean, “turn into”?
I don’t think anyone’s turning to the USA for education stuff.

You should swap out the thing she has with something else of value. Treats, licky mat, toy, another piece of meat, whatever. This gets her used to something being taken off her and it not being a bad thing. Eventually the swap is just for praise or a pat, but for really valuable things you may still need something more valuable.

Don’t worry, though. Plenty of lemmingtons come in and take it seriously without realising—which is half the point of SPs, really.
Just always assume sarcasm and poking in these parts. Have a laugh when you see the whooshes.
Also, block lemmy.ml if you haven’t already 👍 Welcome!

Because everyone knows Hamas are as equal an evil as the Israel authority.
OP’s “feeling great” is in no way associated with what’s going actually going on—that would be insane. It’s just about how they perceive their social superiority to others whenever the topic of Hamas and Israel rises. They couldn’t care less about what’s going on, but they want that “owned 'em” feels.

Yeah, that whole second amendment thing turned out to be the joke we all thought. I’ve never known a nation to just roll over and take it as much as this bunch. They’re pathetic and their overlords obviously know it.

- Comment on I still haven't figured out how to do this 1 month ago:
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 month 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.
