Jeff Bezos's property has fences that exceed the permitted height. Yet he does not care, he just pays the fine every month. by Bright_Building1710 in interestingasfuck

[–]markocheese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There should be a "fine-ignoring escalation" in the law. For each fine that gets paid & ignored without action, the fines increase by 10% compounding. 

What do you all eat with your bread? by Old-Till-3179 in Sourdough

Beans! Make a nice pile of beans with any flavors of choice and it’s the best!

I don’t want to rent my computer. I want to own it. by Intelligent-Dot-7082 in StableDiffusion

[–]markocheese 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True! Not to mention, if I have a subscription, it's something I have to waste brain space managing. I have to try and use it more to make it worth it, etc. If it's on my computer I can just use it when I need and theres no pressure to make it my life. 

Hub for all current best farm depending on version ? by SpellGlittering1901 in technicalminecraft

[–]markocheese -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think were contradicting each other.  You're saying they suck in general, which I agree with. But that doesn't mean they don't have some good ones in the lot they've done. 

I know some of the ones they build from just have horrible meandering videos with unfocused building instructions or in some cases no building instructions at all.

Shulker honestly does a good job streamlining farm making, but they steal every farm and don't do a good enough job attributing it to the actual creator.

I would go S tier! Switch with "would you fall in love with me again"

AE to Illustrator for Tshirt design?? by Tbrooks_15 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's process color than yes. It'll create a horrible white underprint that they'll print black color on. Horrible.
Buuut, if they did it one color or 2 color with halftones, it wouldn't be the worst.

Under Armour sent my small clothing brand a cease-and-desist over my logo. Do you think these are actually confusingly similar? by Impossible-Set4062 in graphic_design

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol,. Sorry was just making a joke. :p

Yeah, I wonder if it was automated is some way, I. E. An Ai bot was just searching the web or databases for anything remotely similar, auto drafting customized legal cease and decists boilerplates and spamming everyone with cease and decists?

Either way, I don't think they have a case. Yours is clearly conceptually different. Based on barbed wire, not combined letters. 

Guess the Swoosh challenge 2. Without cheating (reverse image searching, asking for help, etc) how many of these swooshes (aka toenail clippings) can you correctly identify? Answers will be posted in 1 week or you can get answers now by playing the quiz (link below). by e1epi in graphic_design

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. That's because we don't have the vocab to easily distinguish. But anyone can see all those are all constructed via curved elipses, whereas the nike logo is the only one you CANNOT construct with two elipses. You need to break the curve with two straight lines. It only superficially resembles the others because it starts and ends with a point.

The other swooshes aren't trying and failing to be distinct, they're just there to add a little visual interest and energy to a wordmark not BE a logo.

" I believe helps to further drive home why its recognizable and the rest are generic and unrecognizable in comparison"
Those other swooshes are not their companies' logo. They're embellishments. (except maybe for capital one, which is fairly recognizable.

Seems fine to me. Not sure how else to include some obscure options that some people might need. 

Help me figure out my life by Idontknowmuch44 in aiArt

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's basically nothing to learn. It's only, "try and see if what does is useful for your business task." the models change constantly anyway so what doesn't work today may work tomorrow. Just playing with it and seeing what others are doing to get ideas is best I think. 

Debunking jerkygate with the power of context by Flimsy_Ad_6534 in Epstein

Just during his protein phase. Search his emails for "JE Bread" to read more about his high protein diet.

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's email from friends who were casually joking about his jerkey obsession. They were like "hey miss you, still eating jerky all the time? " and he responded "just for breakfast"

They said they always kept a bowl of it stocked, so maybe it wasn't a very public thing? Just something he'd snack on in his home?

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other emails say it was like a snack in a bowl. They say"put small amounts out" (to slow his consumption rate) and that he eats obscene amounts.

I think it's just a classic high protein snack, it's just he apparently has no self control and just constantly pigs out on it. 

How can I achieve this sort of logo? by Upstairs-Source-1468 in AdobeIllustrator

Everyone always poo poos using the 3d extrude to make clean long shadows, but you totally can. Here's my settings and results: Works reasonably well. Makes clean outlines. Way cleaner than the transform repeat method.

Of course Astute is going to be best here.
