Yes you can. If you couldn’t see your blind spots, you wouldn’t have blind spots. Literally how it works.

Haha, I chucked it on last night after typing this comment. There’s so many scenes where characters have no place being there but they are, because it’s just the public dealing with an action hero.
My partner hadn’t seen it before.
“There’s no way he’s about to jump the building with a horse… Yeah, I was gonna say. A horse would never do that.”
“But that’s the point. You’re so into the action hero stuff that you didn’t notice they played a screeching rubber SFX when the horse stopped.”

I think it’s right when he sees someone’s about to hurt her, so he hurts the guy or something, and the guy ends up getting kicked in the balls by Curtis. The scene ending with some awesome “action helicopter” cam of the extraction completed, home boy limping back to the heli holding his balls, “Son of a…”
It’s such a well directed movie with perfect pace too. Even when it goes over top, it makes just enough fun of itself for doing so.

You should swap out the thing she has with something else of value. Treats, licky mat, toy, another piece of meat, whatever. This gets her used to something being taken off her and it not being a bad thing. Eventually the swap is just for praise or a pat, but for really valuable things you may still need something more valuable.

Don’t worry, though. Plenty of lemmingtons come in and take it seriously without realising—which is half the point of SPs, really.
Just always assume sarcasm and poking in these parts. Have a laugh when you see the whooshes.

Because everyone knows Hamas are as equal an evil as the Israel authority.
OP’s “feeling great” is in no way associated with what’s going actually going on—that would be insane. It’s just about how they perceive their social superiority to others whenever the topic of Hamas and Israel rises. They couldn’t care less about what’s going on, but they want that “owned 'em” feels.

Yeah, that whole second amendment thing turned out to be the joke we all thought. I’ve never known a nation to just roll over and take it as much as this bunch. They’re pathetic and their overlords obviously know it.

- Comment on The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore 3 weeks ago:
Let’s say that you’ve just significantly upgraded your GPU. If you were getting the most out of your CPU with your previous GPU, there’s a good chance that your new GPU will be held back by that older component. So now, you need a new CPU or some percentage of your new GPU’s performance is wasted. Except, getting a new CPU that’s worth the upgrade usually means getting a new motherboard, which might also require new RAM, and so on.
This guy’s friends should keep him away from computers and just give him an iPad to play with.

I know where you’re coming from. I started in Corel, then into Macromedia which would later be absorbed into Adobe.
Modern day Illustrator still doesn’t follow the same governance of usability the rest did. Vectoring is just a standard tool in the belt. But the program it’s done in should expectedly have the same behaviours as the companioninh programs.
For example, vectoring in all other modern Adobe software has different keyninfs, methods and behaviours to Illustrator. Things as simple as pathing in PS, AE, and ID is fine differently to Illustrator. Same shit, but different menus, windows, even cursor behaviours.
It’s like all the software that supports driving is left-hand drive. But the one that does it best is inexplicably left-hand drive.
I’ve always understood it as changing its legacy would disrupt the Illustrator base so hard—thanks for proving this, btw—that they just keep it MS Wordy. An application that functions as a rogue. But also why Illustrator is slowly falling out as vector artistry continues to be more irrelevant. Kind of like Dreamweaver’s early end days, but it’s still got plenty of legs left for a while.
- Comment on I still haven't figured out how to do this 4 weeks ago:
I’ve recently had to use Word. After all these years, I still don’t understand it.
It’s like Adobe Illustrator to the rest of the Adobe suite. It just does everything it’s own way with zero familiarity to Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere, AfterEffects, Lightroom, etc. All the way down to the interface and menus being it’s own thing.
But say that to someone that knows Word (or Illustrator) well and they look at you like you’re an idiot.
“Yeah, you have to sacrifice a goat and hit this exclusive key combo, obviously.”
I swear I’m not an idiot. I just haven’t been in the abusive relationship long enough to try make it work.

You are speaking to me as if this is my direct opinion, my words, and that I have a stake in anything. I’ve just passed on the sentiment of those I lived alongside around most of Australia at the time. I can share the opinion, but I don’t have the right to form it and hold it as though it is mine.
So, you will have to travel to change these people—just as the Australian government once tried—or accept them for it. In doing so, maybe realise that 300+ first nations should never be placed under a single umbrella term and thought of as such. This was, after all, a contributor to why your amendment to the constitution had pushback from Aunties and Uncles around the country. Again, you’d have to take that one up with them, not me.
If I am to share a personal opinion with you, though, it is simply that the world has made it clear to me; bad people always conduct themselves with the same nature and behaviour. Strangely, there are those that think it’s okay because they hide behind the mask of good intent. But at the end of the day, they’re the same people and their cause, whether good or bad, means little at that point.

You asked for my opinion, but the toxicity was clear that I wasn’t going to give it. But since you’ve just said that well, here it is…
I spent years in Australia, much of it in rural areas you’d probably label as “Aboriginal communities”, as such the major city folk did, though in reality they were made up of all sorts of people. No one I knew framed life around skin colour or the actions of British colonists long before any of us were born.
While I was there, Australia Day was of contention, and it’s unusual to see it still is. An elder I worked with once put it plainly: colonial dates—Gregorian, Julian, whatever—hold little meaning because they aren’t connected to their culture and lived reality. They did not care and it was hard for them to. More broadly, I was taught that the country is shared, taught, and enjoyed with respect for all living things. That outlook helped me feel at home in a place that was intimidating at first, until I was welcomed in. And if you’ve travelled, you’d know this isn’t unique to Australia, it’s common across indigenous cultures impacted by European colonisation, especially outside Eurasia. A disassociation with the things of different cultures, yet are still having to have them shoved at the forefront and be told how to be about them.
What also struck was how openly critical they were of some Aboriginal activists. They saw them as loud, clueless, and often doing more harm than good. Creating social division to offload what someone once called "the First Fleet guilt” which passes through the generations. It was clear they didn’t want to be spoken for, particularly when those actions clashed with their culture and other’s cultures.
Based on your behaviour—both earlier and now—you appear to ve that type of person. British culture was never a part of them and never will be, yet you treat it as central because it’s central to you. You’ve even gone on to attack a list of people in ways that draw harder lines between groups, when both Aboriginal culture and broader Australian culture aim for the opposite.
The downvote was for you.
Knowing what I know, it’s a real shame to see the energy you put out in this post, knowing it could’ve been spent on so much more things helpful to those communities. But drill down a few layers and I suspect to find it was always about you and not them.
