Had to upvote for the ideal midwest pronunciation of “bag”

Pretty much

What about those named “Jill Stein”

Exactly this. Modern studios would de-fang it worse than it got the first time round and we’d end up with a lightweight, pasty mishmash.

Irresponsible reporting. First, name & shame Mike Johnson for refusing to get Congress back to fund hurricane relief. Second, aid is not limited to $750. https://www.fema.gov/node/fema-will-only-provide-750-disaster-survivors-support-their-recovery

I also have to use it for work. I don’t know if it’s Adobe, or Windows 11, or a toxic combination of both, but not a single day goes by where I can just create without things randomly breaking. Illustrator stops letting me drag with the direct selection tool. Premiere switches to hotkeys as I’m typing text. InDesign…actually InDesign has been behaving.

But literally all the other Adobe apps will break AS I’M USING THEM - like, an action I’ve literally just done suddenly doesn’t work or glitches out. A couple weeks ago Premiere and Photoshop would literally crash on open. The day before they were both fine.

I have Gimp, Inkscape, and KdenLive installed just in case.

That would require pinpoint accuracy

Yawwwwn

Politics IS compromise.

Genocide is wrong no matter who’s doing it. That’s not even the argument here. Sadly, half a dozen presidents ago Congress decided the US needs Israel for some reason (very likely because it’s mentioned in their dumb little book as key for the second coming of their dumb little god) so now there’s a binding agreement and nobody can say anything bad about Israel. Violating that causes a whole storm of international drama that would (shock!) cause more destruction than the current horrifying, illegal, and whitewashed genocide.

I’m dumbing this down for you. You’re welcome.

Where we are now the government’s hands are tied unless it gets overhauled. Since there are only two viable political parties, the lesser of two evils is the choice - and you’re right, they’re both evil, but there’s the “supports genocide” evil and the “supports genocide AND fascism AND suppression of women & minorities AND oligarchy AND Russia etc” evil. Dems in power = slim possibility of overhaul. GOP in power = no possibility of the public having any sway ever again.

Your smug all or nothing rhetoric is short sighted, excessively privileged, and frankly dangerous. I’m ignoring you now. Feel free to post your gotcha and declare yourself victorious.

There are many questions at the polls and the Israel issue is only one - and one that by law cannot change until we overhaul Congress. These are stupidly complex political issues that can’t be boiled down to supporting genocide. I am against genocide and I wish America had a stronger stance against what the Israeli government is doing, but we’re playing the cards we’ve been dealt.

The fact that “any other year” you wouldn’t care suggests you are not familiar with the decades of work the US has put into the middle East and all the difficulty and frustration involved.

The question at the polls is really: who has a chance of actually winning, and which of the two viable options is less bad for Palestine? And keep on mind, congressional seats will also be on the ballot. Congress is the only body that can rewrite the laws that dictate what we can or cannot do in the middle East.

The Bound Gods series by Rachel Dunne is pretty brutal and bleak. Not a lot of sex but there’s baby killing, eye gouging, and enslavement. Zero characters make it unscathed and most simply don’t make it. It’s quite a ride.
