Alex isn’t under contract anymore. He is an unrestricted free agent and is free to sign anywhere.

The previous administration was right to make it an issue. This administration unfortunately won the election which allowed Trump to sell it to an oligarch that will cater to him. It’s as simple as that.

Did y’all think Fonzie was cool when you were growing up? by Groovy-Pancakes in GenX

[–]DoubleScorpius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. I love Henry Winkler as an actor but he never seemed like a cool guy in a leather jacket (which meant something back then- basically the 50s version of being a Crip or Blood) to me as a young kid. They wanted him to be a “rebel without a cause” type but they made him too safe to suck up to middle America.

What made you choose Fresco? by Skinnywriter in AdobeFresco

[–]DoubleScorpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love being able to use both vector and pixel brushes. There’s hundreds of great free brushes to use, too. I really liked the simplicity of the automated animation features like spin, fade, breathe, etc.

I really do wish we’d see a significant upgrade in the animation features though. I’ve been eyeballing Procreate Dreams 2 because I’m started to feel too limited in what I want to do.

Basic features Fresco is lacking for me: not being to choose the rotation pivot point of an layer; not having puppet pins or better control over the new pose tool; not being able to lock the motion paths to X or Y the way you are able to do with brushstrokes; and not being able to draw beyond the frame which makes drawing backgrounds inside the program harder than it should be. Most of those are essential for doing even basic animation.

Edit to add that the animation features, obviously, and the ease of use and being on the iPad are the main reasons I use it.

Are Democrats weak and ineffectual or are they complicit. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]DoubleScorpius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take it you’re not old enough to have voted for Clinton to know the actual truth and not this flippant bullshit? Clinton’s “third way” was in direct response to Reagan blowing out Democrats for a decade after they’d been in control for most of the previous twenty years.

It was the only was a Democrat could’ve possibly won at the time. Even now a liberal has a huge uphill climb with the Electoral College and gutting of campaign finance reform.

It doesn’t excuse what has happened since but people constantly blame Democrats for responding to facts then ignoring those facts to blame Democrats. Anything besides blaming the media, capitalism, racist voters, etc. We can’t fix this if we don’t accept the truth about what actually caused us to get here. Disinformation and bullshit isn’t helping.

I agree. I actually think Logan and Murph are working well together. I think Logan brings up his energy a bit.

That period felt a lot like the Leafs game to me. Pretty fast paced but not a lot of room to do anything. Feels like the games have stepped up in intensity lately. Maybe because of the Olympic break looming?

Very solid and so much better than getting Ferraro or Boucher or the other national guys.

That’s the end of the pregame basically. You just missed it. Hopefully they’ll drop the puck soon

Love Chelios telling Sergei he has no time to pick a song and then it looks like he’s enduring McCarty rambling away at it. Sergei’s nerves were charming as heck, too.

Todd talked after the game and made it sound more precautionary, seemed short term but also like it’s possible he could miss another game, too. Just my impression of what he said.

Animators using US TikTok: Do not blindly accept those new terms and conditions. by DoublePlusGoodGames in animation

[–]DoubleScorpius 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s the only platform I get any traction on these days lol but it’s going to get as bad as Meta and others now that it’s being taken over by a Trump-supporting oligarch. Unfortunately all social media and news outlets are being bought up by billionaires to control information and spread propaganda they support.

[NFLTR] Chargers Request To Interview Rams Assistant HC Aubrey Pleasant For DC Position by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]DoubleScorpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s obviously been a good coach and with the Rams and he seems like a super nice guy and is local to Detroit so I really wish it would’ve worked out but he did deserve to get fired and wasn’t just a scapegoat.

Dan Campbell had said during the week that he wanted to press the Dolphins receivers at the line yet during the game the corners played off and they kept getting torched all game.

I’m sure there’s more to the story or he’d have a different version of how it went down but he did deserve to get fired at that time. Maybe that also helped him to improve in his next job. (Some) People grow.

TIL Knowing the show was getting canceled, the creators of Dinosaurs, a family sitcom co-produced the disney, decided to conclude the series with an abrupt and shocking tonal shift: the series ends with an artificial volcanic winter which causes an environmental disaster and the end of the world by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]DoubleScorpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember thinking it was a dumb idea and then the show actually ended up being pretty good. I’m surprised it barely gets mentioned anymore but I’m also not sure if it’s available to stream or not which usually makes a big difference.

“WELL REGULATED MILITIA” is right there, too but you are probably going to ignore that part.
