TFM you’re projecting & coping so hard with this whole ‘Grok ai girlfriend’ thing solving the Simp Problem.
Even if all the simps go away women are still the majority of voters, the government will not let men TWRA without a fight. So nothing will change. We’ll still have to revolt either way.
But on the flip side, if the government does decide to repeal the 19th before the collapse, the simps won’t do anything because no one does anything and they even benefit by doing nothing.

The Israeli military struck the Syrian defence ministry in Damascus twice on Wednesday as it intervened in the clashes between the Syrian army and Druze fighters in southern Syria in the country’s deadliest violence in months.
The strikes collapsed four floors of the ministry and ruined its facade. Syrian state media said at least two officers had been wounded and staff were reportedly sheltering in the building’s basement.
As the horror of the Texas floods continues to reverberate around the state, a major newspaper’s editorial board aimed a brutal attack on the Donald Trump government’s response.

Don't laugh me and my better half or so she says were out in Aberdeen at the weekend and were away to walk into the shopping centre until she spotted a person in an SUV trying about 5 different spaces until finally settling on one and then taking a further 5 minutes to get it parked.

Unfortunately, there's racism (or more specifically sectarianism) even among the Palestine solidarity folks, especially among Arabs. They could not extend the same solidarity to those who are negatively affected by the same violent actor.
If you ever need to "reset" a cast iron skillet and you have a woodstove, just get the fire going strongly, then put the cast iron right into the stove. Let the fire finish up, and _let the cast iron cool down_. All the cruft will have burnt off to a white ash. Clean, and you can apply a new seasoning.
Parti à 15h25 de chez mes parents pour avoir un train à 16h11 à Nancy, en 45mn normalement c'est large faisable. Mais c'était sans compter avec le #pdvdfsm tout le long du canal 😬
Du coup j'ai bourré comme un cochon, bien à plat dans les prolongateurs, autant que possible avec un sac sur le dos... et je suis arrivé en a peine plus de 30mn, totalement trempé de sueur. Bordel, parfois je me déteste 🥲
heureusement que j'avais prévu des fringues civiles dans le-dit sac à dos, je voulais les garder pour ce soir mais je crois que je vais aller me changer aux toilettes quand j'aurai séché un peu 🙃

Has anyone else noticed that in #gimp3, the lasso tool keeps defaulting to "subtract" mode rather than "add"? Anyone know a way to stop this? I keep drawing careful selections only to hit enter and realize that I've subtracted it from my existing selection and need to start over.
@bodhipaksa Yes, but that doesn't help if you've already got a complex selection you've just accidentally subtracted from, while intending to add to it.
right, not using GIMP 3 (because Debian), but in my version the "Free select tool" has a mode in its properties that you can change. Then that dialog has a button at the bottom that says "Save tool preset".
I wonder if it is related and pressing enter is changing the behaviour, because saving a preset should definitely set the default (unless there's another bug there).
Was fixed in 3.0.2; depending on your version this may be red herring.
Hi! Hmm - is it reseting to subtract mode each time you restart GIMP or when you switch tools? I haven't been able to replicate so far, but I'll look into it.
By chance, if you hold Shift while in Subtract mode, does it switch you back to Add mode?
@CmykStudent Not sure - just know that I have *never* consciously switched the lasso mode to "subtract" but I *constantly* have to switch it back to "add."
It may be that this setting is being restored every time I relaunch Gimp (which is pretty often, as Gimp 3 crashes a *lot*).
Holding shift in subtract mode allows for temporary adding (and vice versa). But since my default assumption is that I'm in "add" mode, I don't hold the shift key, because that would subtract from current selection.
It may be that if you change the setting to Add but GIMP crashes, the setting isn't being saved on exit. If you open GIMP, switch the setting, close and reopen, is Add retained?
As for crashes, please feel free to report the stacktrace on our bug tracker if you haven't already: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/ac… We're trying to fix them all, but some are difficult to reproduce without more info (like, some bugs only affect Flatpak, others only on macOS, etc).
Interesting. It doesn't do that for me (with Debian packages gimp-3.0.4-3). Now that I've clicked the "Add" mode button, my lasso tool is now set to add by default, even when changing tools, even in different images' windows, even after restarting GIMP.
(That said, I have trained myself to use those keyboard shortcuts, except when I accidentally confuse Shift (add) and Control (subtract), at which point I get the opposite of what I wanted.)
I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It. Omer Bartov NYT JUL 15, 2025
' ... My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Having grown up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of my life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and spent most of my career researching and writing on war crimes and the Holocaust, this was a painful conclusion to reach, and one that I resisted as long as I could. But I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one ...''
A little reminder that DuckDuckGo is venture capital (VC) funded.
The way VC works:
1. You get VC 2. You grow as fast as you can (or fail fast) 3. You sell (either to a larger corporation or to the public in an IPO; this is called the “exit”)
(In case any of you are surprised by recent/future developments.)

This is the Silicon Valley “startup” model. Startups are not long-term sustainable businesses or small businesses. A startup is a temporary business designed to either grow exponentially and exit (sell) or to fail fast.
this. The business is a speculative asset, not generating cashflow from customers but designed to be sold to a greater fool(s) for an inflated valuation.

The #EU #DMA compliance workshops exist to regulate gatekeepers powers, yet both #Apple and #Google treat them like "product launches" where non-engineers show slides and can never answer questions.
The Android play-field, instead of taking steps to respect the DMA, Google shrinks what Android even is. If Apple can own its closed iOS, Google figured they can privatize Android?
Maybe it being #FOSS for 17 years was just a glitch and now Android is out of the famous Google betas?

I think they definitely have begun to realize that they sort of painted themselves into a corner by giving us something so open. They want to be like Apple and make money hand over fist locking people into a platform -- and honestly, some of what Gapps is doing these days and how they're doing stuff exclusive to the most recent Pixels only is really starting to get there. I'm convinced Google will legitimately lock Android down soon and I don't think third parties are ready for this.
I really wish people would put their collective foot down on Google's current practices now, before it's too late, but we all know it will only happen after it's way too late.
