    I still see that button (in the mobile version, anyway).

    What’s more alarming is that I’ve run across several things akin to toilet seats (things you probably buy like once every 20 years) that have defaulted to the ‘Subscribe and save’ option. I don’t know if this something the seller does or if AI is flagging things for them, but it’s insidious.

    If you’re not paying attention, you can wind up an accidental collector of toilet seats.

    Yeah, I feel like flared scrubs is a logistics problem. That makes good sense.

    I work about 1 metre down from where I sleep (one of those loft/sleeper/desk combos where trousers only even matter during certain teleconferences, or if someone insists on watching. Nearly all my trousers are flared, because if I trip, people don’t tend to die (I’ve had no reports of that, anyway), and I also never needed scrubs. I barely need trousers on occasion.

    Sorry for the demise of your fashion, but you certainly look cooler than I ever do, so there’s that.

    Honestly, this sounds to me like something a sociopath would say, which is why I don’t buy it when these people are using the ‘full context’ defence here.

    The difference between empathy and sympathy is subtle, yet important, and (I think) exposes that he was a sociopath.

    I’m not sure how to explain what I mean other than that sympathy is passive whilst empathy is active. Sympathy exists at arms length, whilst empathy is truly felt. Or, perhaps, sympathy is cerebral whilst empathy is emotional.

    Does that make sense? I think sociopaths can understand sympathy, and maybe can tell themselves they ‘feel’ it, but empathy is a foreign concept – and in Charlie Kirk’s mind, a weakness.

    So, for me, the context actually makes this quote worse.














  • I don’t think that was a thing when I bought my Wacom, and this 12x8 tablet was the best you could get at the time for drawing and working with the Adobe suite in OSX, which was why I needed it.

    I wish I could go back in time to when I could afford such things, but now I have to work with what I have. It’s still a very good tablet, it’s just getting outmoded for no good reason.

    e: and I don’t mean something like an iPad, I mean a drawing tablet. This:

    Basically yeah. It’s a bit more complicated because of touch sensitivity, but I think I’ll need to learn driver programming soon, because I can’t afford a new model (e: and there’s nothing wrong with this one). Then I’ll be able to say for sure.

    e: Intuos 4. And to be fair, it would have died under windows like 10 years ago, apparently.
