SwampYankee,

Historically it doesn’t matter what the creator of anything prefers unless it’s an “unveiling” and they name it on the spot.

I can’t for the life of me find it now, but the gif was introduced with an image that contained in its metadata a statement that “it’s pronounced jif”. You can still find it somewhere and open it in notepad and read it for yourself.

SwampYankee,

Yeah, I have friends who say it with a hard g and I never say a damn thing, but I say jif once and it’s “jraphics” this and “jod” that. I get it, you watched that stupid video in 2012, congrats.

SwampYankee,

Yeah I took digital art classes in the 90s and the teacher and all the students pronounced it jif. I never heard the hard g until that dumb YouTube video.

SwampYankee,

emo-stroking

Is that what my girlfriend & I were doing in her bedroom in the early 00s listening to Brand New and Death Cab?

SwampYankee,

Drake, his brow furrowed, his palm exposed.

SwampYankee,

On the other hand, Tuvix creeped me out.

SwampYankee,

Even if the lights are leveled correctly, part of the problem is how directional LEDs are. On a flat surface you’re fine. If you’re cresting a hill so your vehicle is level and there’s someone coming up the hill towards you, your headlights are shining directly in their eyes. As soon as you start descending the hill your headlights are now pointing in the right direction relative to oncoming traffic again. Adjust the headlights down and you just change the angle that this happens at. Adjust the headlights down so it only happens on particularly steep hills, and your headlights are basically useless because they’re not illuminating enough of the road in front of you.

SwampYankee,

It’s really not that bad. I run it with the settings maxed at 1440p. I’m guessing my framerate hovers around 30, both above and below.

R9 3900x & 3070ti - my machine is above average but nothing crazy.

SwampYankee,

Started at 2 10 years ago and will max out at 5 in 5 more years. Get a union.

SwampYankee,

Brutal extraction isn’t unique to colonialism either. Colonialism is just ancient imperialism with boats.

That said, imperialism has never been moral and we shouldn’t excuse contemporary imperialists, just like we’d probably be appalled at the exploits of Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars if we weren’t so far removed from them.

SwampYankee,

There is, but it’s not very active at all.

SwampYankee,

I’ve basically never used Twitch. Are you saying there’s something akin to independent radio on there? How are these streams structured?

SwampYankee,

Are you me? I’ve been going wild the last 4 years. Mind sharing a top 5 or something? I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

SwampYankee,

Great topic. A lot of my discovery was through /r/listentothis, but I’m 100% off reddit now, so these recommendations are helpful.

SwampYankee,

Also Britain: Oh good, the UN voted in favor of splitting up the land except the entire Arab League voting against the plan? Ok, sounds good, bye guys, have fun!

SwampYankee,

The Balfour Declaration was in 1917, and Britain began discussing support for the Zionist project in Palestine immediately after declaring war on the Ottoman Empire in 1914. The idea dates back to at least 1896 when Theodore Herzl proposed it as a solution to the “Jewish question” which, itself, was being asked as early as the 1750s.

SwampYankee,

Destruction of Israel is in Hamas’ charter. This meme is beyond stupid.

SwampYankee,

You mean jayfeg?

SwampYankee,

I had literally never heard a single person pronounce it with a hard G, through middle school and high school graphic design classes, through an entire web development degree, until 2015 when HelloGeneric made that stupid video.
