I keep hearing about this thing. Does it really do all the photoshop things? adjustment layers, masks, dodge+burn, all that stuff? and I guess, does it do it well, with big files?

Before November, I did it by mainly looking at AP News. During November I was kind of a mess. After November, no news at all. My lemmy feed is comic strips, Linux, photography, and asklemmy, a few other things that are not political. If major shit happens I hear from my partner or friends, but they all know I’m not that interested. My YouTube feed is Buddhist stuff, standup comedy, and hobby rabbit holes. I even filtered out the lefty late night shows (daily show etc). I know the basics of what’s going on, but don’t feel any need to get daily updates on it and I’m feeling pretty sane compared to a few months ago! We donate to Palestinian charities, HRC, etc., are active in other ways, but this daily media crap is not healthy.

It is. And stop calling me Shirley.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

The Big Lebowski

such a hard question. Those are two that I’ve watched a million times and keep getting enjoyment out of, and not just because I’ve seen them so much, but they’re actually well made. I’d definitely put Spirited Away as a contender. LotR, I know, unpopular opinion, but I don’t think they are great movies. The books were great!

I love natto. Which isn’t that weird IMO, but people sure seem to think it is.

Even when I lived in Japan for a little bit, people there would be like “a GAIJIN that likes NATTO!?” Sure, it’s stinky, but yum.

mm yeah. I like sea urchin too. and raw oysters. Both of them, if they’re fresh, just have that flavor/feel like you’re consuming and becoming one with OCEAN

I’m often very much in the same boat as you. I’m the one in the team interview who afterwards is like “pleeease let’s go with person B, because person A just, y’know, … bad gut feeling?” And I wish I could ask more personal questions in the interview itself. However, I’ve been lightly warned (and subsequent web searches confirm this) that it’s a legal grey area to ask about personal stuff in interviews. If they bring it up, or maybe you drop an obscure ST:TNG reference and they pick up on it, by all means, they’re “one of us” so go for it. But on the flip side, you might hear something that, say if you don’t end up hiring them, could be grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.

Dang, that’s creepy and I like it. Nice work!

You mean you don’t cyberstalk your old bully so you can finally feel like you won?

ahhhh that’s awesome! lucky! fingers crossed for you.

Damn, that’s great that you’re interviewing. Congrats for getting the ball rolling! Is the hope to get a work visa and be able to stay in the UK indefinitely? Or do you already have some connection there that’d make it easier to become a citizen? signed, another hopeful someday expat

Is there a story to that? You can’t just leave us hanging.
