Affinity Photo is an excellent Photoshop alternative. I switched a while ago and have used it for all of my major projects since.

The monster that is Infinite Growth can’t do that.

I’m sure if you follow the paper trail enough it’ll lead back to either Russia or the Heritage Foundation from the US.

It is yet another grifting disinformation factory.

I don’t think any amount of money is worth the risk of being disappeared into a Salvadorian prison or ICE black site.

That doesn’t sound like government efficiency.

Coolio. More technofascist-controlled social media. Nothing could possibly go wrong here.

Especially when he has basically admitted that it is stock market manipulation. Everyone knows the tariffs will return or potentially even something stupider.

Do you know how I can tell when I have an incoming call or message? My phone, which is in my pocket, makes a noise and vibrates. Why the absolute hell would I want my vacuum cleaner to notify me of a call?

And the washer too? Do they seriously think people just sit around at home taking calls every 5 minutes that they need every appliance to be able to make/take phonecalls?

She went into prison in 2023 so she will be there for a while yet.

I don’t think her wealth is known exactly but she and her company lost billions during the scandal.

Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind. She manoeuvred herself into a position of wealth and power by defrauding other rich people and got herself 11 years in prison for it. That’s 11 years more than most other rich scumbags get.

How is this even a deal? Ukraine gets basically nothing in return.

This is just extortion.

And this is where some of the worst long-term damage to the US is going to be felt.

The world seeks reliable trade partnerships and the US is willing throwing them away to empower its biggest rival.

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Is it missing ROPs too?

Fish do too. Fish have pressure sensors down the lengths of their bodies they use for navigation, sensing prey and predators, and communicating.

My gouramis are making clicking noises in their tank as I type this. Love those things.

Myths like this have always made me kinda angry. Anybody that has owned fish for more than a few days could easily say that this isn’t true at all.

But aside from that - animals simply wouldn’t exist if they were that stupid. The world is a dangerous place, especially underwater. Not having even basic memory and pattern recognition would be a one-way flight to extinction.

Military service is a hard concept to grasp when you’re sitting comfy at home, not a care in the world and all the conflicts are “over there”.

It’s a very different story when there is an existential threat looming over your head, weighing on your shoulders like a mountain. Canada’s armed forces is already meeting its yearly recruitment targets due to repeated threats of invasion from the United States.

“Tell me of at least 5 privacy laws you’ve violated in the last month or you’re fired”

America’s unstoppable thirst for short-term profit is why they currently have a corporate-backed fascist in office that is threatening to invade US’s (supposed) allies to pillage their resources and economies.

Whether they do or not, the US as we have known it is in its death throes. They have surrendered nearly all of their soft power and made themselves a trade pariah. Entire industries are going to crumble as megacorps swoop in like vultures to devour the carcasses as the walls of their economy close in and the whole building collapses. It is in everyone’s best interest to move their interests and money as far away from the US as possible.

trying to flush a turd but it keeps floating back up to the surface.
