  • you have to support free home delivery of abortion meds via text message, elective abortion into the third trimester…

    Where in any Democrat aligned policy us this the case? The only people getting late term abortions are people who’ve had something catastrophic happen during their pregnancy. No person is going through 6+ months of all the challenges and difficulties associated with pregnancy just to decide they don’t want a baby at the very end.

    Don’t just parrot what you hear off of Fox News or Breitbart or Daily Wire, look shit up and verify what they’re saying is true.


  • The problem is that Rogan is the beginning of algorithmic rabbit holes that relatively quickly draw people into further right-wing political commentary, pundits like Ben Shapiro or Matt Walsh or Tim Pool start popping up more and more on recommended pages, for whatever criteria the almighty algorithm had decided Joe Rogan and right-wing pundits have in common.

    He might not seem very political, but he has politically engaged figures on his show quite often.

    Even on my own YouTube, I actively curate the recommendations and channels that get suggested to me and tend to cut out the extreme right wing and I still get suggestions for anti-woke conservative videos.

    Rogan is an inflection point that leads many people to right wingers.

    Photoshop has a nice looking UI but there are some very subtle but really useful things GIMP does that Photoshop doesn’t. For example when drawing with the Rectangle/Ellipse tool GIMP doesn’t immediately lock in the selection but gives me handles I can use to perfectly fine tune the selection down to the pixel, especially for the ellipse tool. I don’t get that level of control over the marquee tool in Photoshop.

    I can also freely scroll and zoom while using the lasso tool in GIMP and it can go between free draw lasso and poly draw lasso by clicking and dragging or just clicking to establish new lasso nodes. And I can just undo any of those nodes by hitting backspace.

    The only tool I really miss in GIMP is the magnetic lasso but needing to drag the cursor all the way to the edge of the screen just to scroll somewhere else on an image makes the tool so much worse.




  • Possibly, I know that in the current state kf the industry, Autodesk and Maxon in the last 5-10 years have gotten exceptionally stagnant in the development of truly new game changing stuff and are now looking at Blender and copying what is going on there. Blender really is leading the way with new tech and new tools that others are copying them instead of the other way around. And Blender has been doing a lot to make sure it can fit into basically any pipeline.




  • Blender also has a huge benefit of a very active group of donors and a lot of support from the Netherlands government. Major industry organizations like Ubisoft and Epic Games have made significant monetary contributions in recent years to the Blender Foundation because they’re more closely integrating Blender into their creative and technical pipelines
