Don't care what the reason is.
  • My guess is they don't want to be responsible for lawsuits if someone eats food they had to throw out and it causes a problem. (past expiration date, damage, ect.) Then again I am not a multi-billion dollar business executive so the reason could very well be "fuck the poors" for all I know.

  • Stuck
  • That's not fair, even ugly cats are worth loving!

  • I know this a very serious discussion, but I just wanted to say the phrase "yikes on bikes" is a good one.

  • Title
  • You know, I'm kinda surprised there isn't a Maid IT service out there somewhere. You're telling me I can fix computers all day AND dress in a maid outfit? sign me up!

  • Spawncamping, not sure how that'd work here though.

  • my favorite part about reading the relevant Wikipedia article is the libertarian magazine claiming the islands were "more or less reclaimed by the sea". As if the people already there weren't people but fish or something. For those curious: Here is the Wikipedia article

  • Morning Sun, 1932 - Gustave Baumann (1881 - 1971)
  • Right? I love how it's titled the morning sun but the point of view comes from inside a dark area. We're looking into the light like outsiders and I love it.

  • I'm not picky...
  • listen if they held parties with alcohol at the gym I might actually go to one.

  • Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing
  • That would the coolest shit imaginable. I'm surprised nobody has tried making a FOSS ecosystem for the DS, considering how often users have hacked it. All I'm saying is, I wish a company would come alone and make a DS like system with modern resolution and cameras. It might do pretty well.

  • Happy 2024!
  • Happy new year! Here's to hoping the new year is kind to everyone!

  • A quality paint job
  • Some US states require you have one on the front and back. Or at least that's what I've been told by a highway patrolman.

  • Pizza Hut franchises in California lay off all delivery drivers ahead of $20 minimum wage increase
  • This is a defeatist take and while the answer isn't a super simple "just tell people to not order out and cook more" we can definitely do more to help people stop relying on eating out and fast food.

  • The lock-downs definitely aren't at fault for doordash and ubereats, they were there and gaining traction before covid was discovered.

  • Isle of the Dead (3rd version), 1883 - Arnold Böcklin (1827 - 1901)
  • Ayyy same. I may have seen them before somewhere, but the two are forever connected in my memories with this painting.

  • Isle of the Dead (3rd version), 1883 - Arnold Böcklin (1827 - 1901)
  • Is it bad that I know this work because it was repeatedly shown in Signalis? Probably, but I wish we could see the other versions that were lost.

  • Isle of the Dead (3rd version), 1883 - Arnold Böcklin (1827 - 1901)
  • I'd be surprised if there wasn't any connection. It definitely looks inspired, but what's the context in destiny? (I've never played it)

  • I've never tried this style before and I'd love some feedback
  • The op posted a lighter version in the comments, Check it out! It's pretty great.

  • Can I ask how you did the blue and white bottom left square? I really like the effect you made with it, and I kinda wish it was more present throughout the rest of the painting, because it feels like all the drips and paint textures tend towards the bottom (which may be your intention, I wouldn't know lmao) but it'd be kind of cool to more of that in the top half in more than just that red left-topmost rectangle. Basically what Im saying is I kind of like the texture interactions. (also after reading some of the comments here I realized the thickness of the medium shows more in the dark version than the light version, I'm guessing you painted the other shapes over a canvas you gave once over with the darker paint first?) That being said some of the color interactions are only visible in the lighter version so I can see why you posted the other one!

  • On one hand it's an amazing piece in both the dark and the light versions, on the other the bottom right side sort of loses something in the darker version. I feel like the minor difference adds something, even if it doesn't draw the eye as much as the top half.

  • Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow
  • I kinda wonder where the down-votes are coming from? It seems unrealistic to assume half of all currently using people will stop using facebook, youtube, and snapchat within 2 years. As much as I'd like to assume otherwise I feel like that's farfetched even with the study posted.
