I was chatting with a stock photographer a while back. Apparently the most important thing is the tags that you give the photos. The best ones are abstract because you aren’t competing with “hand” and “pen”. If you can make your photo of a hand holding a pen fit “wistful” or “trenchant” then you have a better chance of it being seen. Making thousands of weird photos like a hammer/screwdriver/wand being held over a watermelon/plastic duck/brick by a clown/policeman/nurse and giving them abstract tags is the way to go.

That’s all right. I didn’t want my kids to have a habitable planet anyway.

Dam slunk?

I lost all respect for it when they just ignored logic and physics with driving the car backwards/forwards.

It totally depends on the person. I’m from the left-driving UK, and have friends who hate every second of driving in the rest of Europe. Personally, I find it takes about 10 minutes to acclimatise and then it seems normal and I’m fine.

Their beliefs are firmly rooted in bullshit and you can’t use logic to argue with them, so this changes nothing.

Oat milk is definitely the best. Better than moo milk for cereal, in my opinion.

I feel that I became a little bit stupider after reading this article.

Now waiting for spam articles about which is the best poop knife.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: yes, it is.

This doesn’t really explain anything. Not least why I should use it.

When I’m not broken, an 8 mile cycle ride that takes around 30 minutes. I’m currently recovering from a broken kneecap and getting the bus in, which is about 20 minutes and 5 minutes walk each end.

Kbin is better than Lemmy.

The old internet is still there. It’s just dwarfed by the colossal amount of shit piled up on the shit sites.

As a general rule, stick to free and open stuff because the motivation of the people doing it is to give to the community, rather than make money. Mastodon and Lemmy/Kbin rather than Xitter and Reddit. Just stay away from Facebook. There are lots of old style bulletin boards still around for various interests, and they are often more used than FB groups.

I stopped putting adverts on my sites ages ago because I hate them so much. I don’t want to be part of the enshittification.

I like FreeCAD. I know some people hate it, but I find the requirement to do things carefully and properly to avoid horrible errors later on really focusses my mind on what I’m designing. I end up with something that is probably better designed than if I could just lash something together and let the software sort out the mess.

Quite. After all this shit I want to have a rest.

This is the correct answer.

Sounds like you are very similar to me and a billion or so other people. I don’t see much point in creating a label for yourself in order to restrict yourself to that label. You are what you are and don’t worry about it. I had a thing with a trans woman for a while and now I’m happily married with kids. Whatever I am has never had a negative affect on my life because I don’t worry about what I am.

What the world really needs right now is another narcissistic dictator.
