Where is Ned Ludd when you need him?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Right? It's so creative. If you can stomach the content, of course.

I happen to be familiar with Sam Kinison, and it was definitely not him. This guy was skinnier. Thanks for your input, though.

Right? These kids walked so The Chats could run.

Yeah, this comedian was definitely American. But thank you for not judging me too harshly.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think it's him. I looked up his stuff, and he doesn't quite fit the bill. I think the guy I saw had a mustache with no beard, possibly reddish.

Thank you for the validation. I feel pretty insecure about posting it, to be honest. I don't want to trigger anyone's PTSD or something horrible like that. That's why I added the content warning and all that.

Yeah. I apologize. It just stuck in my brain because it is so incredibly dark. It's like a twisted, perverse creativity, like a torturer who comes up with new ways to cause agony. I respect the depths this guy plumbed to come up with that, but it still makes me uncomfortable.

 

Don't you just want to give this kid a hug?

I know I'm a month late, but I just came across this comment. Joel Haver is one of the most beautiful filmmakers I have ever encountered. He just has so much empathy for his subjects, and it feels like he really loves his characters. I discovered him a few years ago, and I am definitely in for the ride. There is not enough ass in the world for that man to kick.

Look at the Bigme Hibreak. It might be up your alley.

Okay, so I'll preface this by saying I am absolutely fascinated by e-ink technology, and I believe there is a lane for it. I am typing this on a Bigme Hibreak, a smartphone with an E-ink screen, and I have owned two Boox devices thus far. If you manage your expectations and you have the patience to tinker and dial it in, some of these devices can be perfect. The Boox Palma looks like a very practical device, although I haven't used it myself. It seems to be very lightweight, and I can say from experience that the Boox software is pretty user-friendly (although not necessarily beginner-friendly; some settings tweaks are needed to optimize the experience). The Boox software is generally pretty stable, and the generic reader app is one of the best I've ever used. As another user pointed out, their software is not open source, so you may want to take that into account, but I haven't encountered an E-reader company that does publish open source software (or hardware, for that matter). For what it's worth, I had a Boox Nova Pro and replaced it with a Boox Nova Air C, and I have very few complaints. Just don't order through GoodEreader. They are a bunch of assholes.

They have become considerably better in recent years, but I understand the hesitation. Once bitten, twice shy, and all that. I will say that my experience with Boox devices has been pretty good, though. As long as you don't expect it to behave like a full-fledged Android tablet. But above all, don't trust strangers on the internet.

 

Sorry to post him again, but he just uploaded this video, and I am sincerely concerned now. He needs to touch grass in a major way. He needs to go to a party where nobody cares about the quality of the music playing. Because if he doesn't, some dark shit might happen.

 
 

My theory is that chihuahuas are so on edge because they know something is wrong with them, and they know it's our fault.

I ordered my Playdate last week, and it arrived today. I am having a blast with it so far. Highly recommend it. The build quality is really solid, and the software is snappy and fast. Seriously, get yourself one of these.

 

Hi, all. So I just made a semi-impulse purchase of a Playdate console. While I'm waiting for it to arrive, I would like to hear from you guys. If you have it, what has your experience been? Is it as good as some reviews make it seem? How big of an issue is the lack of backlight? Any favourite games?

 

Hi. I'm looking for someone willing to make an album cover for an album I'm currently recording. I will pay your going rate, of course. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
