Glad they're looking out for me

Yeah it didn't work, everyone saw through the bullshit. They tried to settle through arbitration and keep it out of court. But that's because Disney lawyers are scum and will do anything to find a loophole to exploit. Also think they were more concerned about the publicity and why they wanted it settled silently.

The ultimate settlement at court was assumed to be pathetic though for killing someone. Think final amount wasn't publicized, but the publicized settlement record claimed the husband was seeking 50k. But I guess it can settle for higher and that was just a formality amount?

Anyhow they probably threw chump change at him and a lifetime membership of Disney+ and discounts at the parks. Certainly bundled with a NDA agreement to not disclose the settlement agreement or they'd claw it back.

Molting

Oops, I wasn't sure if the missing feathers were real and also thought that's gotta be mites causing it to lose feathers.

So I just learned that myself and was like "oh wow" and didn't think too much.

Don't know why the beak be like that.

I have yet to see missing feathers like that myself and I have a BUNCH of cardinals and blue jays. I do see the young "punk rocker" cardinals.

But the Internet says molting feathers is true!

The only dark horror I witnessed was when a murder of crows came into the neighborhood and used my bird bath for their dark rituals for 2 weeks.

Maybe I didn't see this kind of cardinal because they didn't complete the rites to summon it?

Where was her husband assassinated?

No, you don't understand that was Obama and Biden's fault.

Trump and Kirk supported an environment of violence, they just never pictured themselves in the cross hairs.

Trump isn't protecting Americas but he sure is fuck has tightened up his security. He wants us to shoot each other and have fascist supporters blast dark skin people and liberals, not him. :::

Sound of silence

Reply in thread

I just got back from a beach vacation in a house we rented. Unfortunately I had to rely on a relatives speaker, so I could relax watching for no kids to drown.

Mostly played soft R&B, Blues, or anything downbeat at a lower level I could hear it over the sound of the waves and screaming children. But I was sitting right next to it and not blasting it from 100 meters away.

We'd also setup way early with no one around. I'd have the speaker rolling and the beach wasn't packed. Yet people still setup really close to me on both sides.

At that point I figured they weren't bothered. They would hopefully have said something because we talked to each other about the kids playing together.

So yeah there are situations, like everything else.

Probably only person I bothered was my Mother-in-law, because she is kinda racist and doesn't like music made by darker skin people, but that I really didn't give a shit about.

Fucking pngs, how do they work?

JPGs don't support transparency. Has to be PNG or GIF. WEBP also supports transparency, but it's got horrible compatibility with editors. There are other options that are overlooked for web like SVG, fantastic for a companies website logo.

Not sure what you are using. In Photoshop do not flatten the image. The program has a "save for web" and you can toggle transparency on and off. Better control than the "save as" and I think "save for screens".

More indepth breakdown.

Men against bush

I love bush! Not in the slightest bothered by bush, armpit hair, arm hair, leg hair. I like boobies to have a little sag to them, not perky. I like my ladies to have a little wear and tear from life, love handles, stretch marks. I like someone confident in their body and to not feel like they have to wear makeup for me.

I do have limits, just can't with excessive facial hair. Stained teeth and/or bad breath. Got to clean up have good hygiene. Not do all the above because they are depressed goblin.

I've always been into older women 30-50. At my age I see 29-18 as still children and don't think of them sexually. Probably why I like all that I do, women have a bush, girls are shaved.

GIMPs got something like that using a plugin. Haven't used it myself. But heard it does the trick.

I've taught this technical junk of print and web to graphic designers for close to 20 years. Trust me when I say not a lot of people understand the nuances and it's getting worse not better.

Not anyone's fault really a lot of this his hidden behind the scenes and you have to seek it out and actually care. Which doesn't come up often, until you need to optimize a websites load speed or print something extremely precise.

Now I can boop her snoot forever.

Had a few dogs, none that had great personality. But after my recent Aussie died I died. He was so fucking smart and honestly my best friend.

We took him everywhere with us. He was in a couple parades and hung out with me at outdoor events. Dude would carry our water bottles in a backpack on hikes. He always wanted a job and we kept him occupied.

He was so chill and gentle. Loved everyone. He took treats very gently because he didn't want to accidentally nibble you. He loved kids, would always go up to them for pets and gently lick babies on the cheek. Would have been a fantastic service dog to visit children hospitals, but we were too lazy to go through the process to certify him.

But he got old and weak and his heart started failing, after his 16th birthday. The day we had to put him down he couldn't move anymore and somehow I think he knew it was time. He went out as gracefully as he lived, gave us each a little kiss and just laid down didn't struggle, as me and wife sobbed hugging him.

Yeah can't go through that deep of a connection again. Like having a member of your family die, no other dog I have will be him.

Me too fella!

Rubik's cubes tease so much. All I want to do is click it in all the right places. But that smooth little box edges me for days never letting me cum to completion.

I have yet to finish, been gooning the cube for decades. When I finally slide that last square into place, I'm going to bust so fucking hard.
