IDK if him being a fed is an actual thing but this is exactly what I imagine a fed would sound like.

"Let's kill all the jews, amirite guys?"

I don't know how someone who is that active of a troll and has their own gitlab decides that it's a good idea to link all of his socials together under the same name

Lmaooo i fucking love the "meanwhileongrad" comm, it's just lib after lib malding about getting clapped for their reactionary bullshit

I saw his post there and had a feeling there'd be an excellent dredge tank post about him

Before I even knew to hate Adobe, they were my favorite company to pirate from in college. Them and ChaosGroup

I am admittedly not a super-user, I basically only use vector and raster editing maybe once every 6 months, but for what it's worth I've managed to survive using affinity for most of my needs. I work in the AEC industry so we have a different PDF editor (thankfully)

I think affinity avoids getting under Adobe's skin by omitting certain popular features (for example, Designer still does not have image trace, which was probably 50% of what i used illustrator for), but otherwise they're serviceable

for what it's worth - I've heard some people have limited success running affinity software on linux

Haven't tried it myself, and they're upfront about some features being broken, but it might check enough boxes to work.

Here's a repo

Who can really blame him, every time he steps foot in public he's either being yelled or shot at.

Having to do you rallies in a bulletproof glass box because people keep pointing guns at you is kinda like having to wear a condom because your partner has an active STD flareup.

This is excellent, thanks for sharing

I feel like "diet mountain dew" is a dig at Hasan

Let them think he's a communist.

The term clearly has lost all meaning to this person, might as well let them be haunted by it everywhere they look

Lmao isn't that allegedly his soc account?

Is he just manufacturing political commentary about himself?

Yea, I think this is one of those rare examples where it didn't get it massively wrong

My SIL just left a job like that. It was a wife and husband, and the wife would routinely stiff the warehouse workers and then ghost them, and my sister in law would answer the angry calls from the warehouse and have to pretend like the owners weren't there.

Fucking awful. Small business owners have this tendency to behave like entitled children.

I'm very lucky that my boss is as respectable/considerate a person as I could hope for, but he's incapable of telling clients 'no' so we're completely drowning in the shit.

I'm very lucky in that my boss is nearly as broke as I am. He didn't pay himself a salary when I first started, which is fucking admirable, but it also means that I'm not really in a position to ask for my value.

If the guy was a prick I would feel less inclined to work my ass off lol

I'm definitely missing my last job at a big firm.

Granted, a job is still a job, and the threat of being fired is always there, but there was a certain ambivalence that came with it when things went to shit that I could cope with.

With this small company I am emotionally invested and it's hard to detach from it at the end of the day. Shit sucks.

I wish that comparison didn't 100% stroke his ego

I've been running into a crazy amount of reddit brainworms in the federated instances recently. Yesterday I ran into someone who said trans rights were controversial and comming out in favor of protecting them would hurt the dems, so they shouldn't mention them

Aside from basically all the details except for people being murdered with the involvement of a weapon that originated in a country, it's a perfect comparison!

It's easy to radicalize them, the tricky part is radicalizing them in the right direction

Yup, it was in the 'progressive politics' comm, which is moderated by another TokenBoomer who seems to have similar politics to Linkerbann. I've actually never been around so many libs just barely hanging on to the edge like this, I'm more familiar with reddit where there isn't even the pretext of being progressive.

These people are so desperate to hold onto their benevolent self-identity that they will literally say anything to affirm their status in both camps. I have to imagine they are having a quiet crisis of identity behind their phone screen, otherwise I simply cannot fathom how they can be so politically incoherent
