Dang, you got me there. Good thing you replied before my nightly pcp cruise, I could have done a sin

You’re an “expert in image processing” but don’t understand the fundamental difference between the .jpg and .png image formats or the encoding and compression algorithms underpinning them? I find that doubtful.

.png only compresses efficiently when used as intended, which is for screenshots or other images with large areas of solid colors, where each pixel is most likely the same color value as its neighbors. In this use case, it’s much more efficient than .jpg. However, .jpg is much more efficient than .png when it’s used as it’s intended; encoding images of the real world, like images taken with a digital camera, where each pixel has a slightly different color value than the ones next to it.

You can test this yourself by taking a picture with your phone’s camera, then copying the image, converting the copy to the other file format, then comparing the file sizes. Next, repeat the process with a screenshot of a web page or a simple Paint drawing. You’ll see that the camera image is smaller as a .jpg but the screenshot is smaller as a .png.

"Look, I’m not saying you should drive around at night time with your high beams on looking for deer to run over. That would be wrong.

BUT

If you’re just out, driving along, minding your own business, and you accidentally hit a deer or maybe you find one that’s already been run over, well… I mean, no sense in letting perfectly good deer poon go to waste, right? Like, if it’s still warm and everything, it’d almost be rude NOT to fuck it, know what I mean?"

“I’m not paying for that. I didn’t put any wipes or grease down the drain. The last tenant must have done that. If you thing you can prove it was me, you can take me to court.”

They can’t charge you money unless you agree to it. Drains are always the responsibility of the owner. Ask the city of you don’t believe me.

That’s good advice for people who have $200

it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy

Lmao. Ever heard of AIPAC?

It’s called the social contract. If you won’t abide by the agreed upon terms, I can’t be expected to either.

I really hope you understand why. That “data” you’re referring to is adults having sex with children. “Research” in this context involves adults allowing other adults to have sex with children so we can ask them questions about it.

At best, I imagine it would be like being addicted to cigarettes but only having a fruity vape. Yeah, it’ll get the monkey of your back, but it isn’t truly satisfying, and the second you can have what you really want, you’re going for it.

The difference is, a smoker can quit, but a pedophile will always be a pedophile.

it also enables the core behaviour of sexualising children to be socially acceptable because “oh it’s just a drawing”.

By your logic, people shouldn’t play Call of Duty either because it enables the core behavior of shooting people with guns to be socially acceptable because “oh it’s just a video game”.

By your logic, any movie or book depicting any illegal act shouldn’t exist because it would “enable the core behavior to be socially acceptable”.

Sorry, that one doesn’t hold water for me.

Skip one aisle and come back.

Start at the end and go the opposite direction you normally would.

Park off to the side and check your phone for a minute.

It’s really not hard to not be an asshole. Some of y’all just weren’t raised right.

Never, the less, she farted.

Good.

Yep. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people every day. Karma is just copium for the masses.

He wasn’t jailed. He wasn’t abroad. He wasn’t captive. He wasn’t injured. He was as comfortable as anyone else old and dying could hope to be. He was surely more comfortable than countless others he negatively affected throughout his life.

I don’t like it either, but sometimes good things do happen to bad people. Sometimes bad guys get away with being bad guys and end up dying about the same as anyone else because karma isn’t real.

The man died comfortable, surrounded by wealth and loved ones, never once having to answer for his crimes. That’s not karma.

Unless you suck. In which case, listen to the people who tell you to do better.

Gonna have to disagree with you there. I’ve binged the whole series twice and I love libraries. In fact, I can’t even remember anything from the show about libraries at all.

Now that I think about it, I fucking hate Indiana for some reason. I’m sure that’s completely unrelated though

If the girl says no, then the answer obviously is no. The thing is that she’s not gonna say no. She’d never say no. Because of the implication.
