That contrast/dissonance between what one might call “age-appropriate”, practical clothes and the wild tattoos is fantastic. ♥️

Vaguely related thought, because I know nothing about tattoos (I’m a scaredycat) but someone who does might show up here: Since skin tends to become more fragile and sensitive with age, is there any higher risk involved in getting a tattoo at this age? Any difference in how they need to be treated?

When your god is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, and also can easily be manipulated by puny human technology into doing your bidding.

I do wear glasses and I came here to post exactly your first sentence. There probably is a difference, sure, but I personally can’t see it unless I put both files next to each other and really try to see it.

I’ve been digitising our movie collection so I played around with resolutions to minimise the storage space needed - I did settle on doing everything in 1080p but mostly because it feels weird to use a resolution the internet tells me is bad and I’m vulnerable to peer pressure (voice in the back of my head “oooh but what if anyone ever looks at those files?? What’ll they think???” type nonsense).

I also had a few files that came in much higher resolution that I re-encoded to fractions of their file sizes and honestly same effect.

Too late, he moved out because he didn’t feel appreciated.

He was quoting (allegedly) Bernard of Chartres, thereby standing on his shoulders, interestingly.

That sounds absolutely plausible and is thus now incorporated as Truth into my memory of the goings-on.

Porn on tumblr was an early victim of credit card companies not wanting to be associated with that filthy filth, like what happened recently with videogames. Iirc, they pressured app stores to take the tumblr app down.

Who’d’ve thunk that not only doing everything your userbase does not want but also actively bullying a large portion of that userbase into leaving wouldn’t create revenue? No, being quirky on main and self-deprecating every once in a while won’t change that.

Edit: this sounds like “bullying people into leaving” and “what the userbase does not want” are two different things. That’s not what I meant. I’m overthinking this. I strongly deny any accusation of ever having pissed on a poor.

Other kind internet strangers have already helped me but thank you :)

Huh. I did not know you could do that, I was trying to figure out how to add it in the settings. I’ve been helped by the other kind internet stranger but this is valuable knowledge too, thank you.

Ahh, the wildcard was what stumped me. Thank you, works like a charm!

What does “adding” it mean? Talk to me like I’m stupid.

Edit: never mind.

Firefox. I feel a bit stupid right now because I can’t figure this out.
