It feels like there's so much worth lampooning in American politics right now, and yet the series is being oddly subdued and wishy-washy.

Enjoyed the episode, especially the dunking on the rich, but indeed it felt like eating a small bag of chips.

    Try to avoid anything that accepts creeptocurrency as donations. Almost without fail these projects go down the shitter. E.g., Proton.

    That's a selection, not drawing yet; not to speak of editing the shape afterwards. Anyway, pardon on my part, I actually meant to say circular stroke, like this:

    In Pixelitor, Photocraft, Photocraft's miniPaint web tool, the screenshot tools Spectacle and Flameshot this is all trivial to do, why not in GIMP?

    My website's domain name https://www.arscyni.cc is inspired by him and his fellow Cynics. Highly recommend their books written by Robin Hard.

    “On observing how a young man was priding himself on his expensive cloak, he said, “Stop priding yourself on sharing in the good qualities of a sheep.”” ―Diogenes of Sinope (404–323 BC)

    “People pray to the gods for good health, and yet most of them consistently act in such a way as to damage their health.” ―Diogenes of Sinope (404–323 BC)

    To those who also feel remarkably amicable towards Diogenes/Epictetus, or any other Cynic, I've made an Ars Cynica chat group on Fluxer [a Discord lookalike, but superior and not corporate]. It used to have active members on Telegram but deleted it because the platform became bloated crypto crap.

    A lot communities have "Posts older than 365 days will be removed." in their description, but what does this mean exactly? It never says.

    • The database of posts only goes as far as 1 year, everything older gets wiped? I hope and assume that's not it.
    • Posts with links to articles older than a year get removed?
    • If a thread is over a year old, no new comments will be added?

    Couldn't cross-post, so linked instead.
