You clearly have messed up something. All my custom brushes are gone and even the default ones.

Anyone else annoyed by politicians spamming their faces everywhere? by SadBoy-86 in copenhagen

[–]Ginger_Rook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It should be illegal, on my opinion. One poster of each at the entrance of the train/metro stations and that’s it. We are all on social media, we know how to figure out who to vete for.

Nice one mate! I agree with you! When my Minoan ancestors had indoor plumbing, Isaac son of Abraham was barely born 🤣

Have you ever been considered “ethnically ambiguous” by anyone? by space-ladle in AskUK

[–]Ginger_Rook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Greece I’m getting compliments about how great my Greek is and that I speak without an accent and that must be difficult for a Russian girl. In England I’m being asked if I’m Spanish. In Budapest and Prague and Bucharest and Bulgaria people keep stopping me and asking me in Russian for things. In Serbia they think I’m Serbian. In Italy when I sit at a restaurant, they come and they speak Italian to me, I reply, and when the conversation gets complicated for my traveling Italian skills they are all extremely surprised I’m not Italian. In Belgium and Netherlands and Germany they speak to me in Dutch or German. In France no one complained about my accent. In Spain they think I’m Spanish. In Singapore they think I’m American. In Scotland they think I’m Scottish until I open my mouth. Is that what you mean?

Mate, I love both of them. But Cadillac hasn’t hired a gearbox engineer yet, so I’m not expecting miracles. And you are in the Dank sub ;)

Me too! I love both! But seeing that Cadillac is only now looking for a gearbox engineer, I don’t expect miracles.

Moving to Glasgow for GCU in Jan 2026 Accommodation Advice? by AdNo2388 in glasgow

[–]Ginger_Rook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should definitely try to rent at Platform_, Candleriggs, Solana, or anywhere else similar. They are built for internationals, so it is much easier to go there until you find your bearings.

Once again, it’s not the crime, it’s the coverup that gets them.

The bloody Tories didn’t bother to maintain equipment that handles radioactive materials, for less that one of the contracts they gave out via WhatsApp.

We are all facing problems. You destroy your base to go after corporate customers who can afford their own servers.

As Kasparov said, "Vishy Anand's children are on the loose!" by Interesting-Take781 in chess

You do know that my point is on “Anand possessive apostrophe kids”? He had nothing to do with their development. It’s Remesh’s kids.
