This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.
As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.
But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there’s 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?
For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.
Just made up numbers.
Of course, don’t get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That’s not the intent here.

That’s like using your company email.
Ive met a bunch of people who deeply regret sending everything to their university email to have that inbox shut down after a few years. Heck, had a junior hire recently complain that her university email was the primary for her banking, and once it was shut down, she was struggling with trying to reset her password.

They’re marketing companies too. And imagine sending critical health emails to a company who wants to also sell you services, and suddenly, you get ads for it.
A decade ago, I was annoyed by emojis. Hate that shit.
But then some PM decorated all the knowledge base page titles in our Confluence to have a icon in the front to visually group the goal.
And that’s when I learned how valuable a good emoji can be.
Well damn that’s a good point. But what a weird ass question.

Honestly the best Photoshop alternative I found.
ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.nettoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Software companies HATE him!English14·8 days agoI actually checked it out last year because I was curious about the whole AI autofill in Photoshop, where you can give it a cropped art piece and it’ll fill out the remainder.
If your experience with Photoshop is from CS5, you’ll hate this new version. They removed a lot of the tooling that I was used to. Maybe they simplified the toolbar and everything is tucked into different things. I struggled to modify my art piece and remove the background.
I found myself going back to Photopea immediately.
As for the AI autofill thing? It’s a shit gimmick. It barely works most of the time. And honestly, if I was to use a tool, you’re better off using a AI art tool and then “Photoshop” them together. Then use whatever the hell Adobe cooked up.

ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.nettoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•I am shocked, I say. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.4·11 days agoThe difference is that us “real” “both-siders” realize and agree that the fascist side is much more imminent and dangerous and therefore tend to ally with the left.
Say more about this. Some news articles. Some journalists. Some academic papers. Something to validate your statement here.

Unable to handle the protests and boycotts.
Get rekted.
My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.
Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.
And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.
I don’t know what half those things are but I laughed at the words “Breast Mints”. No idea what it means.
I just checked out Airbnb recently and they have a banner that states the price tag is now the ENTIRE PRICE. No more $300 sticker price followed by $200 of fees during checkout.
It’s a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, hosts are still bundling bullshit like post checkout clean the floor, wash the roof, and milk the dog else be fined.
