This is a terrible conflation to make, come on lol

Saves your guests from needing to figure out you've outsourced your personality, I guess

With all due respect, you live near the American Discovery Trail so you have a skewed perception of normalcy with that lol

It is definitely unusual for someone to walk across the United States. Wikipedia has a list of famous walks (which, of course, doesn't include the average joes who have done it) but the fact that the page exists lends to the idea that it's pretty notable!

The words aren't even the same tone of the original. The image isn't being used to convey an idea, it's just....there.

I totally agree with you but have a snarky correction to the last part:

A Master Craftsman knows what makes more sense to buy at Harbor Freight. You'll never catch them buying saw blades there but a 20-pack of paint pyramids for $5 gets the job done the same as a 4-pack for $10

I had a coworker who tried some fancy unbreakable fish rods (for pulling wire, not fishing poles) and after breaking one, immediately went back to the shitty harbor freight rods.

They're gonna break. Why waste the money on the "good" ones

(looks like I typoed a / at the start of the URL)

It's a great party fact! Very few people have done it and it's a legitimate accomplishment regardless

....I also make a ton more typos on Lemmy than elsewhere and I have no idea why. I thought it was an update to my phone's keyboard. Or my touch screen is misaligned or something.

It's a twitter account called UnfilteredMama. They probably don't have kids at all.

"well...it's too late now"

Why is that written on an Office Space screenshot? That doesn't make any sense. It's not even close to anything said in that scene.

Why do people insist on shoving memes into everything? Did they not think their post was good enough on its own?

Lol, he didn't get kicked out...UnfilteredMama posted it on twitter. It never happened to begin with.

How does the picture make it funnier here?

I don't think I'll ever understand the affinity for it. It's the Internet equivalent of that annoying kid in middle school who couldn't have a conversation without quoting The Simpsons or South Park lol

"Fine" meaning "it's technically possible to use it."

Adding and editing text is a nightmare. I feel like the only way you could say with a straight face is if you haven't used Photoshop since 2006. Hell, PowerPoint has a better interface in a lot of ways.

I hate dunking on them like that but let's not lie to ourselves here. GIMP is good enough but the UI was clearly made by engineers, not artists

My point is that you CAN do those things but it's several extra steps. I have to look up how to do things that are straight forward in other software

That's fair. I'm an engineer, too, and the UI brings me pain. Especially because my previous career had creative cloud as the daily software.

I guess I meant more the engineer mindset of "I already know how to use it so it's good enough"

It reminds me of AutoCAD, my current daily software, which feels like a thousand bandaids stacked on top of each other over the course of 25 years.

I feel obligated to say that having a bad UI doesn't mean it's bad software. I'm just tired of people pretending it's polished lol

...???

Instead of focusing on Trump, think about how badly that would have been abused. The ruling party would find bullshit charges on their political opponents.

It also doesn't make any sense to outright bar people who broke the law because a lot of times people run for office to change the law

A felony has never barred you from the position and that is by design. Literally nothing to do with Trump

It's awful and pretty embarrassing

Very nice read.

That's besides the point. It's explicitly allowed to prevent the weaponization of felonies against political opponents.
