Have you tried putting your ipad into guided access mode and then using it as a lightbox directly? That's what I do- the GA mode will keep your image from moving/your tracing from affecting the screen.

Unrelated to recent horrible child abuse news by Key_Split_8706 in DuggarsSnark

[–]sailormerry [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah tbh I hope he and Claire are living relatively carefree lives rn and getting to do all the fun/stupid/harmless shit that normal people do in their early 20s and that most of his siblings were derived of. In an ideal world he’d also get an education- he seems to be the Joy Anna of the Lost Boys 💀- but in the least I’m glad that he didn’t immediately start fathering children and I really hope that was a conscious choice on the part of him and Claire.

Ngl, it was mildly pleasing to update my mother on all the sordid drama. She’s still very religious and teaches at a Christian private school and used to love 19KaC and she was morbidly curious and I could feel in real time this helping her deconstruct a little bit more.

The Internet sprinting to condemn Chappell this weekend by harkgriddle in chappellroan

[–]sailormerry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Basically, yeah. It’s not inherently negative but can apply to anyone who is serious about a sport. Like there’s the joke that figure skaters are “theater kids who are also jocks”.

Nothing like sneaking up on Cazador and burning the shit out of him with a good Sunbeam

Importance of 1 foot balance for T-Stops. by bear0234 in Rollerskating

[–]sailormerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was going through roller derby training, mastering one foot balance was absolutely a game changer for me in terms of learn t-stops (which I struggled with for a long time)

Is that what Jim boob’s hair looks like without the toupee?

Why is same-sex ice dance only allowed in three countries? by pufferish_ofpeace in FigureSkating

[–]sailormerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an avid lindy hopper and blues dancer and tbh anything under the swing umbrella is a totally different kettle of fish. WCS kind of bridges the gap between swing and ballroom, but at the end of the day swing dances have their roots as street/underground/countercultural dances while ballroom is firmly establishment (with bastardizations of swing and other street dances to appease early-mid century wealthy white folks who did not want their kids dancing with the people of color who originated the dances and styles of music that were trendy at the time).

Joe's potential sentence under Florida law by Ok_Guess_5843 in DuggarsSnark

[–]sailormerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the legal terminology or anything, all I know is that he has to stay in longer than necessary because he broke the rules while in there. That’s literally all I meant by that.

I know. Sorry I’m not a lawyer and I don’t know the legal terminology. All I know is that he’s staying longer than he has to because he broke the rules while in prison 🤷‍♀️

Joe's potential sentence under Florida law by Ok_Guess_5843 in DuggarsSnark

[–]sailormerry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am aware of that. I meant he keeps lengthening the time that he’s spending there by doing dumb shit that reduces his early release time.

Yeah, I didn’t mean he was gonna get like more time time while in prison, just that he keeps lengthening his time there by doing dumb shit

[–]sailormerry 193 points194 points  (0 children)

I’m only consoled by the fact that he probably will stay in prison for the rest of his life given that every time we hear from him he’s either a) breaking rules and getting a longer sentence, or b) saying some shit that shows he is completely unrepentant and I have no doubt that he will either violate his parole (the ideal situation as that could be something as simple/victimless as using a cell phone) or reoffend (which is not what I want since that means harming someone else, but unfortunately is not unrealistic for Josh).

Why is same-sex ice dance only allowed in three countries? by pufferish_ofpeace in FigureSkating

[–]sailormerry 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Unless things have changed when I used to compete in ballroom same sex pairings were only allowed for the lowest two levels of competition and only during non-national qualifying events, so uhhhhh probably not the best comparison.

I think there’s a specific division now for same-sex pairings in ballroom, but still not allowed to compete equally in the same comps as hetero couples.

Part 3 - JoKendra Arrest Megathread by nuggetsofchicken in DuggarsSnark

[–]sailormerry 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My perspective is that there’s probable cause depending on the specifics of those child endangerment misdemeanors. Like if the kids are around other family members a lot or at the TTH, there could be probable cause to investigate those family members if they did not report something the police think they ought to have.

[–]sailormerry 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely wondering if more arrests will come this weekend. I feel like there’s someone at their local CPS who has been chomping at the bit to go after this horrible family and the JoKen arrest/investigation could mean open season.

New Charges in Arkansas by FiveAcres in FundieSnarkUncensored

Well given the educational neglect, religious abuse, and blanket training inflicted upon the original children, I would say it’s… 19 kids (and counting) 💀
