You can also use the brush tool and just draw a circle that's completely filled in at whatever size you want and then remove the inner portion that you don't want by switching to the erase tool and then shrinking the size of the circle brush to what you don't need and clicking directly in the center of the circle.

If you can get that, you should. WD-40 is great at removing spray paint.

My bad, I meant to say shift T and then shift S.

Pretty much the same for me.

I experienced a moderate amount of childhood sexual trauma, pretty much everything short of forced penetration, but because I had been environmentally groomed up until the moment I realized that it was what it was, I didn't think much about it.

It had been enjoyable and fun and pleasurable.

I already knew all of these things that I suddenly remembered, but the facts surrounding them, a willing cognizance of the events, had not bubbled up to the surface.

It was like I opened my eyes, and what I saw horrified me.

That being said, I am somewhat resilient, even if I am a bit of a coward at times, and like, I think it gave me a much more open mind and a broader perspective on what other people have gone through.

I've always been a bit of a softie, and, like, now I'm just also personally empathetic.

generally temperate, A little hot, a little cold, a little wet, a little dry.

On average I would say it's somewhere between below boiling and above freezing, depending on the season.

They say that immersion is one of the best ways to pick up a new language.

If it was everywhere all of the time, and you took advantage of things like community language learning events and language learning apps, you could become fluent in a matter of months.

After all, most people only need like a thousand to two thousand words to get by, So yeah, well, you may not be languidly discussing Proust during a bachanal with your neighbors by the end of the season, you should be able to identify stores and food items and discuss the weather and minor events.

I've been to several countries.

Translation apps are not perfect, but they can get you by in a pinch.

If it runs "fast enough" on a completely clean system that would cost the average user $1500, then companies assume that that means that it is a good product.

If you want better software, you have to give developers worse hardware to develop on, and more time to develop.

I was in second grade when they changed the way that Wednesday is spelled.

It used to be Wendsday, at least that's how it was spelled in the universe I came from.

Nothing has really made sense since.

I was at the thrift store the other day and I found a box for $5 for sale that had a piece of the Berlin Wall in it.

I don't even know why, but I had to snap it up, and now it's sitting on my little curio shelf.

Nothing that a translation app on your phone can't fix.

I wouldn't necessarily trust that. I have used Xfinity for a long time and my IP address often went months without changing.

If I want to scream into the void, I can do that anywhere and anytime, and I do not need a web server to do it.

To quote Ariel, I want to be where the people are.

Just so that I get this out while it's fresh on my mind, what's wrong with the internet right now is cyberfeudalism.

The internet is essentially an infinite world, so no matter how much the large companies gobble up, we'll always be able to go somewhere else.

That being said, it gets really fucking exhausting to move over and over again to different apps and different locations just so to talk to people without some greedy, megalithic corporation there, snooping on everything you say and ingesting your words to feed some abomination intelligence simulation or to figure out the best way to sell you a new pair of fucking socks.

All of that being said, I'm just saying it fucking sucks to continuously be a refugee, and what sucks about apps and companies and programs that end up selling out for a dollar is that if you don't emmigrate to a new platform, you become nothing.

The word trans means across, or on the other side, and gress once again would mean step, so to transgress is basically to cross the line, right?

I did a quick search, but there isn't really a word to describe the people that don't cross the line.

The opposite of the prefix trans is the prefix cis, which means "on the same side"

Today is also the day that I learned that if you want to use drag to resize an image in GIMP instead of typing in the px size you just press ctrl T and then ctrl S and drag boxes will appear on your selected image layer

I mean, if you have gimp open, you can literally just drag the image into gimp. What would you want for it to be easier than that?

There is an etymology word joke that says something along the lines of, "if "pro" is the opposite of "con", then is the opposite of "congress" "progress"?"

And if you don't know etymology, then that seems to make sense.

When you break down the word Congress, you get the prefix con and the root word gress, con means with, and gress means step, so it means to step with or to walk with.

The opposite of walking with someone is to walk apart from someone, so, the actual opposite of congress would be digress, and the opposite of progress would be regress.

Etymology is great at ruining jokes, but it's also great at helping you understand what words mean and why they mean them.

I think the specific is that 40% of adult Americans can't read at a seventh grade level.

Probably because they stopped teaching etymology in schools, So now many Americans do not know how to break a word down into its subjugate parts.

I am not a follower of Islam, but I have read some of the materials, and they said that in heaven everyone will be 30 years old.

That seems like a pretty decent age. Like you're old enough to be an adult at 30, but you're still young enough to be able to enjoy life if you didn't have soul-crushing work to do.
