Yes, that’s exactly right.

Minor niggle: the ‘deep fried effect’ isn’t because jpg throws away information every time, it’s because the compression algorithm averages pixel boundaries, and that averaging multiplies with each compression pass.

It can actually bloat the size of the file by adding information – adding data to previously null pixels, whereas png would keep them clean.

e: it achieves this through pixel averaging (fuzzing), which is why you’ll see grey artefacts bleeding into the pixels around line art. This is magnified with each compression.

because vag-in-front centaurs don't show up in art very much.

I’m a bit curious how you know this, but I’m just gonna flag you as a centaur anatomy expert and refrain from asking questions I don’t want the answer to.

So, vag in the front, starfish in the back? How do the innards connect?

Or is it both in the back like an actual horse?

I want specifics. This is vexing me.

Yes, *wink.

Fun fact: some people have a nature fetish and will dig holes in the ground or bore holes in trees so they can literally fuck the earth. I’m not judging, but now you have to share the burden of this knowledge.

The capitalist mindset is basically slave holding with extra steps. They think they own you, but couch it in corporate-speak, using emotive words like ‘loyalty’ and ‘efficiency’. That way, instead of sounding like the narcissistic leeches they are, the onus is on the employee to not break the bonds of ‘trust’ bestowed upon them by their capitalist overlords.

I felt this so hard, when I started getting sick, I quit my job proactively rather than inflict the harm my tardiness and less-than-peak performance might do to the company. No severance, no safety net, and now I’m literally destitute after being a top performer in my industry for years. It works.

They’re ‘people’, but they’re not people.

Porn. We’ll use it for nature porn.

That’s happened multiple times with planes, not just once last year.

It happened as recently as last month

Here are more:

I could keep going, but this is hard on mobile.

Point is, that happens with planes, too. That’s a logistics issue, not about the method of transport.

My dad is the opposite of a Luddite. At 88, he still works for the airplane manufacturer, builds his own computers, and is getting into VR.
