i’d like to have a graphic design community on here

Lol I was thinking this exact thing

now that i think about it, this would be handy for remote support techs walking a user on-site on what to do…

“you see the 3rd switch from the top that has the cisco logo? i’ll need you to power cycle it”

2 hours later

“oh i found it”

vs.

“you see the girl with the blue hair? unplug the box her hair’s connected to”

can’t speak for others, but i’m mostly the quiet/introverted/lurker type…

sometimes i just feel like i have nothing valuable to add to the conversation

i will make an active effort to engage more tho

their good devs and engineers have left

i feel like i’m not actually against ads. i’m against the abuse of ads, that take away from the user experience…

i won’t mind seeing an ad if it doesnt get in the way of what i need to do on the pc. i don’t need an ad popping up when im trying to work on something, launch an application, download a file, etc. an ad in the corner, big enough for me to be aware of it, but obscure enough to not interrupt me will serve its purpose.

problem is, ad exposure is non-regulated and i can’t believe how the constant ad spamming doesn’t seem to phase a lot of people.

this would be a really mean prank

sure if we want to get granular, then yes “it” is a pronoun as well… it’s just not typically used when referring to a person

the irony behind my use of “it” just now though…

a younger candidate puppet would have drawn in the millenials/genz vote this time around but boomers gonna boom…

those are pronouns…

i’m glad this is being discussed. i felt like i was among very few in how i felt about that use of its vs it’s.

just say “it is” and use it’s as the possessive… like every other word in the language and stop failing people on exams

a belief that they should treat others the way they’d want to be treated?

this is probably a trick question so i don’t think I’d answer it correctly

lol no kids…

that’s the thing… by me saying talk to kids… im saying address it all… i’m looking to educate them, not shelter them…

if/when i have one, i’m telling them this world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows… here’s how to make the smart and wise decisions…~then i’d hand them their baby bottle~

i’m wouldn’t be looking to curb curiosity tho… that’s not natural at all… instead i’d be looking to address it head on…

i’m telling my kids, yes this happens, this is a thing… share my viewpoints on the dangers of abusing it… and reprimand them for treating it as such.

they’re still going to do it… but at least them knowing that i’m well aware of it as a parent would lessen risk of them turning it into some sort of secret addiction of theirs.

true. but quite frankly, if someone can’t at their very core agree to the ‘golden rule’, what other option is there? a functioning society is better off being divided against people like that.

wildly understated too…

like… middle school kids today navigated mobile devices with ease when they were toddlers…

they’re gonna know what a vpn is before they leave high school.

we’re just better off addressing the issue head on than trying to band-aid it… it won’t work

or you know… talk to your kids

yet another glaring example of why i’m not willing to meet these ingrates halfway

i can’t remember the name of the movie, but there were 2 aliens who looked like humans and they were causing some sort of trouble… they had the ability to shapeshfit into other humans

i remember there’s a scene where a protagonist steps into an elevator and there’s some young man listening to his walkman. after some time, the young dude starts making these awkward noises because he’s jamming out on his headphones to the music… the protagonist is totally paranoid as he’s not sure if young dude’s really a human being or an alien, so the elevator finally reaches their floor and they try to escape only to get grabbed by the young man and he reveals himself to be the alien…

so the camera pans to the aliens face looking all menacing and one of the MST3K crew says “you didn’t think i could get jiggy with it!?” 🤣

it’s been years so if anyone knows the ep i’m talking about, i’d be extremely grateful so i can watch it again.

it aligns with the republican way of governing… “not my problem. let the next person/generation deal with it”
