Vice President Harris lost as a Black woman
She lost as a milquetoast corporate politician who saw the state of things and said, "this progress is progressing too progressively. We should work with more Republicans to make sure we hobble ourselves a little." And then the people said, "that's the dumbest thing ever. Oh wait, now my ballot is the dumbest thing ever. I bet these child rapists will be more reasonable than the last time they fucked me over, though."
I'm trying, I'm trying! But I forgot to write it down! Fuck, my wife was right about me: I gotta put everything in the calendar or in a note...
Bring back the Whitehouse redneck octagon!
As an former professional vector graphic designer, I can tell you exactly what's going on here. They traced photos of cars.
I got my first graphic design gig by being insanely fast (for the time) at creating vector graphics that would read well at any size, from page number decorations to billboards, for a magazine. We seriously got unsolicited compliments on our new graphics sprinkled around the magazine, and had new clients advertise with us just so I'd design some new logos for them.
What most people didn't know was that my speed was because I was really quick at finding source images, clipping things together so that my reference image would be "unique", and then I'd just isolate and trace the general shapes and enough details. Unfortunately, I became too popular for my own good.
My publisher one day gave me a very vague and broad request for a two-page spread, which included objects, people, and a "landscape or background that doesn't draw too much attention." It took me a day, but I presented my design the next morning. The publisher stared at it for a while, then simply said, "so, I guess you're only good at tracing things," and handed my printout back to me.
He later visited my desk and said that he didn't want to see another design until I figured out how to make the background as good as the foreground. So, of course, I made the foreground graphics worse. He was very happy with this.
Over the next couple of months, with lots of practice, I became very skilled at making my traced designs just sloppy enough to not stand out. Understandably, they fired me. The end.
Sure, if you want it to be loud and slow
Oh ok. Thanks for clarifying! I really appreciated your succinct write-up and would likely enjoy seeing more of your opinions in the wild
"Also, and hear me out, asshole enablers like you will ensure he always has a brighter future."
Sorry to be pedantic, but seeking clarification:
Theres no doubt in my mind that Linux phones couldn't be great
You meant that you have no doubt that they could be great, right? Your next few sentences make it sound like you're saying that there's still hope, but this first sentence essentially states, "even if all of my doubts were removed, Linux phones still couldn't be great."
If I'm misunderstanding, then I'd really like to know why you doubt Linux mobile as a platform in general.
I hope that the SO bit you, but the dog intervened with proper training so you'd stay.
