All the word games in the world don’t change the underlying truth and you know it. McDonald’s is awful it’s not even food, music is similar, most of it is not really even music, the same way McDonald’s isn’t even food, it’s hyper engineered food ingredients. I know it hurts to accept that most popular music is dog shit but that’s the truth and you know it’s true.

Last year, it’s shit you’re not going to change my mind

I really don’t think I’m overstating things, I go back to the early 90s, I started with Harvard graphics and stuff like that… I have used so many damn image editing softwares, and I’ve even made a few of my own.

I’m honestly going to just plant my foot and say gimp is a misbegotten atrocious lump of shit from a UI perspective - a complete embarrassment, and a complete failure from any perspective of usability science

It is absolutely at the bottom of the pack of any piece of software I have ever used, it’s hard to pick up various bunches of shit and decide what lump smells the worst, so I’m not going to say gimp is the worst, but it’s floating at the bottom of the septic tank

I cannot believe that people continue to step up and defend it, it’s garbage.

I disagree.

Just in the same way we can point to McDonald’s and say there is nothing good about it from a food perspective; that it barely even qualifies as food…

We can say the same thing about music. There is music that is so devoid of any kind of artistic output and merit, that no one could say it’s good. In 2025 are still listening to musical greats from several hundred years go but in 50 years, nobody will have a clue who Nikki Manaj is

Gimp is what happens when programmers think that they can design things

IMO WinRAR was only ever did one useful thing and that was breaking up files into arbitrary sizes for USENET theft

Yeah gimp is atrocious in terms of UI/UX

Nobody with a clue about graphics would ever recommend gimp

It has always been a piece of sh… going back 20 years already

I feel all of that.

I bumped into some lady at a post office the other day and she was small-talk asking me about my participation in the election. (Canada)

I told her I have zero interest, and she looked at me shocked as though I had committed some great sin by disinvolving myself. She started to go into the spiel about how important it is to participate blah blah blah

I don’t know where it came from but the words seemed to gush just forth from somewhere that I… I can’t even identify. I showed no social grace and cut her of flat

“There’s no point in voting, the only hope is to wheel out the guillotines and murder the elite in the streets. And then immediately murder the next two batches of crooks-in-the-wings that take over”

She looked at me like I was a fucking lunatic. And I swear man, I watched her countenance change in but a flash…and I could see she came to agree with me, at least in a facial and body language sense.

Then she started to sputter excuses on how certain political parties are at least the better of two evils. It’s hard for people to not know what to say other than to repeat the scripts.

I just flatly said (and again it burst forth as though it had been rehearsed but it came from nowhere)

“I know R---- C---- personally, I’ve worked alongside her, and she’s just as big a piece of human scum as them all. A power- money-, glory- and career-advancing swindler, profiting handsomely off human misery”

“Oh I’m yeah but well… Then well yeah I guess they’re all in the pockets to some degr…”

I cut her off immediately - wouldn’t entertain that rubbish for another picosecond

“They aren’t in the pockets, they are the pockets and that’s the end of it.”

So yeah I’m thinking like until people start to figure out that we’re just circling the drain and we need complete and total overhaul, I don’t think anything’s going to happen. It’s just unfortunate that human rights, quality of life, human dignity is going to descend to extremely low levels before that happens. What a damned shame

The ones that talk all about social change are actually worse than the overt right-wing swindlers, because the right wing swindlers do it out in the open while the make-believe SJ vocalists are two-faced snakes that peddle virtue as their cover-story. The worst.

My worst fear in everything… Is that we are too far gone to go back. The capitalists have turned the human psyche into an algorithm with which they used to wring every molecule of productivity out of the slaves.

And the slaves love it. Heaps of cheap gewgaws, pulsing LEDs everywhere, flashing phones keeping em in an endless state of inner turmoil, which just fuels more mood-altering consumerism.

Yeah bro I think we’re done.

2 to 17 inclusive or exclusive?

Yep, I do not understand how people cannot see how obvious this corruption and wealth theft is

Pressuring aerospace industry. Endless corruption & greed.

Irrelevant. The man is a scammer and a nut.

Lerner is a massive kook and scam artist

I’m just here to tell you that anybody that says to talk to a lawyer is a jackass and is talking out their ass.

You do not deal with these matters in regular civil court, these are handled directly through whatever tenany board is in your region. Start by contacting them and ignore all the other nonsense about contacting attorneys, it’s a waste of time because all the attorney will tell you to do is to contact the tenancy board.

Nah. I unloaded my switch lite for this reason. Microscreens are not for people over 30.

This conversation has been swirling since forever, and the answer is that both came first

It really comes down to the fact that we have arbitrary scientific conventions, and we have to slot everything into its little hole

It is impossible to make the determination, outside of the human perspective, which came first

I don’t think I’m being hard on myself, I think I’m being hard on the general population of Canada. Most people here are just what I said, overprivileged shit pieces

I feel like there’s a big difference between the surface level presentation that people see in Canadians, and then there’s the reality

I would like to correct the gut-brain connection. 95% of the time our gut tells our brain that it wants something, and it’s trying to say it wants water, but the brain hears that the gut is hungry.

As a Canadian, I can declaratively say that our reputation for being polite is bogus. As a whole, we are a shitty, privileged, nasty group of people. Our country is built on colonialism and genocide, so you can only imagine what a shit pot this is.
