This was a fascinating read. And unfortunately something that I suspect happens in quite a lot of development teams around the world.

Stunning painting! I like the contrast between the well-defined lighthouse and the more loosely-brushed scenery. It adds a lot of depth and dynamism to an otherwise pretty serene and static scene.

Thailand is such a beautiful country. A friend of mine visited it a few years ago and came back with stunning photos. I wish I’ll be able to take some myself, one day.

Thanks for sharing!

I’m Italian and I live relatively close to Venice, but I never had the chance to visit it until last year.

It’s just crazy. I was left astonished by its beauty. It’s a place you have to see at least once in your life.

(Recommendation for those who want to visit it: renting a hotel in the city is crazy expensive. What I did, was rent a place in a camping site on the other side of the river, and then take the ferry to go in and out of the city. It’s still very expensive, but you’ll save some money this way)

Ehy, don’t worry, mistakes happen. I’m sorry you got downvoted to oblivion.

It’s Thailand, not Taiwan.

(Taiwan already legalized it in 2019)

I’m loving your last few posts on this community, but this one’s the best so far! Thanks for sharing!

I use the same image for both the lock and home screen.

I’m not sure if I’m a psychopath, or just a very boring person.

Fuck this government.

I’m Italian.

Four years ago the DDL Zan, a law that sought to fight language and deeds that amount to religious, political and racial discrimination by adding aggravating factors for sexual orientation, gender and gender identity, was proposed.

Among its detractors, the Vatican itself, who urged Italy to stop the law because, according to them, the Law calls into question church’s ‘freedom of organisation’ and threatens ‘freedom of thought’.

While those cartoonish evil cults aren’t common, they are not the only evil religious organizations in the world. The head of one of the abrahamic religions, and one of the most popular religions in the world, fought against the freedom of my fellow LGBT+ individuals because of their supposed right of hate speech, apparently. So no, it’s not an American perspective, and yes, all religions are evil.

Religion is ignorance and refusal to face reality.

As long as people behave, treat others, and vote according to the sacred scriptures written by a crackhead thousands of years ago, and their influence shapes the world around me and puts a limit to my freedom, then there will be no distinction between religion and extremism. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Very beautiful painting. Discovered it by playing through Signalis, now I want a copy to hang on my wall.

Damn, thanks for letting me know. I’ve been using the Simple suite for years and even bought some of them because I wanted to reward the developer. I’m saddened by the news of the acquisition. I’ll swap them with the new fork.

That’s a nice argument, senator, but have you tried telling it on a platform that actually encourages quality discourse?

Dude, no one here is shocked or angry. There are just normal people calmly discussing ways to bypass yet another attempt from Google to stop AdBlockers. If anything, you’re the guy who spent the entire day yesterday screeching at people in another thread who don’t want to pay for YT Premium, and is still doing the same thing now, in a community dedicated to piracy no less. You just deleted the vast majority of your comments because you were too embarrassed when people called you out for licking the boots of a trillion-dollars corporation and being angry at other people who don’t want to follow your example.

Go touch some grass, it’s free (just like YouTube!).

You sure can! Unfortunately our civilization has robbed us of things that our ancestors took for granted, including our beautiful night sky.

Also some more details from the source:

OP: This was in Namibia!

USER: Was it almost pitch black when you took the picture?

OP: I shot this from like 12am - 4am. It was completely dark but the whole landscape was lit up by the light from the stars, so to answer your question, no.

Btw, my original comment was a bit confusing because I was replying to the last point only, so I’ll add a small edit: This image was taken with professional equipment and required a lot of exposure to capture as much light as possible - hence why it’s so bright. A night sky seen by a naked eye is a lot darker than this. Still, you’d be able to see the Milky Way and a lot of stars.

I wish there were stargazing spots anywhere near me like this one. Very cool picture, thanks for sharing.

Summit has that functionality.

I am literally unable to remember people’s faces. If you talk to me, go for a walk, and come back ten minutes later, I won’t recognize you.

Once, the guy who sat next to me at university for two years, and with whom I spent countless time together, took the same bus as me. I hopped on the bus, saw him, and my brain told me “Uh, that’s kind of a familiar face, I guess”. I smiled to him (because he looked familiar), then I passed him and and went to sit some rows behind.

He’s made fun of me ever since.

The worst thing is, I work at the front desk of a hotel. I always struggle to remember who’s who. Sometimes I recognize their shirt, their hair, their voice, or I see a family with two kids and remember “oh yeah, they’re from room 210”. But most of the time, I must ask them to remind me which room they are, even if they checked-in just ten minutes before.

Agreed. This has nothing to do with advertisers. It’s about creating a community where hate speech is not allowed. Free speech doesn’t include nazi, transphobes and the likes.
