@LeftistLawyer Having said that, I was looking at drawing tablets and thinking of moving to more modern software, by which I mean modern software - Paint Shop Pro is from "the before times".
The only reason I'm dragging my feet on that direction is because I can't actually draw for shit, despite what my Mum used to say.
@LeftistLawyer My only issue is the use of an animal as a representation of anything to do with human behaviour by both sides of the political spectrum. Billions of animals are abused and tortured every day on the planet by industrial and corporate food systems as well as for entertainment and other purposes. Please stop using animals to compare police (pigs) and any other group. Leftists tend to have a blind spot when it comes to other species and examining their own behaviour towards them.
@LeftistLawyer I read that before and agree. I had a knee-jerk animal rights reaction to the visual of the cow. I guess my surface point is Acab is better than "pig". I've financially supported defendants in a few small court cases here in Canada who were whistleblowers on sickening pig farm operations. The giant JBS US operation sends buses down to Guatemala to bring in cheap under the table labour to mid-west slaughterhouses because the working conditions are so bad. ICE def is turning a blind eye to that. Child labour is creeping into slaughterhouses, too. Law enforcement is in the employ of the powerful, I agree.
And an interesting back story on the guy who pushed the original crap myth of regenerative ranching shows him to be a racist fascist. Spencer Roberts is one of the best writers around on the intersection with animal agriculture. Here are 2 articles of his.
@LeftistLawyer The Guillotine is fun to joke about, but we really don't want to bring that kind of thinking back.
"Those who take their own powerlessness for granted assume that they can promote gruesome revenge fantasies without consequences. But if we are serious about changing the world, we owe it to ourselves to make sure that our proposals are not equally gruesome."
@LeftistLawyer More of a "yes, and" than a "tut tut." I'm sorry you received it that way. We're on the same side. And I am deeply opposed to state violence. @paninid
