OK, , I have a problem for you. Explain to me how these calories make sense between Coke, Seven Up, and Dr. Pepper.

@vwbusguy I think the real lesson here is the calorie bomb that is "pink"

Use appropriate restraint.

One of the super long term things I want to do with Tangerine is build out a collection of models and procgen tools that follow a cohesive and accessible style guide to make it easy for people to both create interesting things quickly from existing art, and easily extend said art when they need to. One of the things I'd need to nail down first is what humanoid characters should look like, because all of the environment models will be derived from that scale.

@aeva Paperdoll is still widely used for this, even in 3d.

I'm spiteful, I'd name the blank avatar Dolly

@aeva Shorthand to decribe the ui and 2d spritesheets layering more than a primitive.

There's also "no provision in the Constitution" for judicial review, or originalism, or qualified immunity, or the major questions doctrine, or most of what he routinely applies as a Justice.

But why let legal principles or logical consistency stop you from doing what you want?

@maxkennerly Pretty sure, (checks notes)

"The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour..."

Judiciary Act of 1869
Judiciary Act of 1789

"Only Congress has the authority to remove an Article III judge. This is done through a vote of impeachment by the House and a trial & conviction by the Senate."

Seems to me, Congress could make you one of 100, or remove your robe in a session if sufficiently motivated.

Do you prefer facial photo avatars to other kinds of avatars?

mrcopilot,
@mrcopilot@mstdn.social avatar

@evan My preference is only mine and it is context sensitive.

Work: I prefer to see the human I may interact with and need to identify by sight, but only somewhat, see:

Everywhere else that cannot be considered professional:

I strongly prefer YOUR preference to present yourself as desired and reserve the right to my own.

Brand and Persona: Strong Prefer Unique abstract non human.

Ya know its days like these I begin to pause to doubt the wisdom of one of America's greatest minds.

Still not watching, but appreciate the updates from all those that celebrate.

To the (now blocked) troll who tells me I should stop being so full of myself and who I am to claim to be an "artist": I'm a tenured professor holding a named chair at a fancypants university.

You don't get to where I am without being somewhat full of oneself. It's practically a job requirement.

@rodhilton Hi my name is @mrcopilot and I have seen all but the final episode of Secret Invasion.

Everyone says I should stop, but I get cold sweats just thinking about skipping it.

I keep paying for it, month after month, I don't even know why anymore.

It started as something I enjoyed, you know something familiar to waste away some time and relax after a long hard day with my 4 color friends. And now, here I am.

Thanks for listening...
Oh, sure, "only after all 6"? I''ll come back

Is it OK to tease someone about their big beard?

@evan I always fall back to:

No, unless they regularly let you stroke it.

It is a surprisingly general rule.

@vwbusguy @vathpela I scrolled past every atari definitely not one of those.

@vathpela @vwbusguy

So let it be written:

The Ataris

Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › The_Ataris
The Ataris are an American punk rock band from Anderson, Indiana. Formed in 1996, they released five studio albums between 1997 and 2007.

@vathpela @vwbusguy The answer fits the clue.

What was the first distribution you installed / attempted to install?

For me - a Debian user - it was gentoo, around 2003, which was a mistake.
