so stupid but unsurprisingly not surprising that a career sleazebag who surely wasn't remotely in the running for the peace prize, which closed nominations on january 31 www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-..., gets to eat up headline and story space about the actual winner Maria Corina Machado.

the side angles have slightly erroneous leg placement relative to the front and back since doing it this way looked awkward to me, and if the remaining three angles get mirrored, THEY will match up with the front and back instead at least.

it is similar to the right-most fool here bsky.app/profile/bims...
I was indecisive about whether the sleeves should match the hood or be inverted relative to it like here, so I used different colors that can theoretically be swapped to either way in-game but probably won't go as easily as I hope

a creature with very large eyes protruding from its head via a pair of snail-like eye stalks is shouted at by a green creature with an enormous nose and prominent back spikes, one of which is wearing a large hat that is perched upon by a smaller orange creature but also with long eye stalks and a gun belt with a texas buckle and implied candy canes instead of guns. in front of a mostly abstract blue, green and yellow background

though if i had any sense i would have added a linux partition to this thing back when i got it so that I could try and get accustomed to the differences for as long as I could stand when time permitted, but I don't and I didn't, and time is rather stingy with permissions

i just spent hours trying to get a 2009 game to work on my sister's windows 11 computer and i don't want to suddenly be tasked with getting all my own 1999-2019 software to work under different circumstances or learning to deal with replacements. I probably will EVENTUALLY but I don't need that now.

time to switch to linux! tee hee! no that isn't the point. usually it is an incredibly minor change that makes a program suddenly reject 7 and the developer just needs to be told and they'll fix it, as happened here, and if it never does, the version I had before was probably doing what I needed to

and once it does, plainly it won't bother to overwrite them on its own the same way it downloads installers.

and it is even still installed! do i NEED a ten year old copy of fl studio in addition to the not ten year old one? Probably not. Though software loves so much to suddenly, silently stop working in windows 7 even when I pay for it that i appreciate fl studio hasn't made me hoard old versions yet

I hardly ever look at the windows "desktop" view but i seem to have five fl studio icons. three of them point to the same thing, but two of them point to the other same thing

I remember this being a HUGE joke in 2016. It being Russian might have helped.

i enjoy that you can't actually link to the wikipedia page for Gutfeld! on bluesky because of the unnecessary forced emotive punctuation

although apparently there is some...THING called Gutfeld[exclamation point] that beat the shows Metaxas copied in ratings when it had Tucker Carlson as a lead-in and then was moved to a non-late night time slot, and maybe this was hoping to capitalize on that. Gutfeld! seems like a great guy

this is pretty stupid but it also isn't a new scheme, and unlike 2000s era flops An American Carol and The Half Hour News Hour that were designed to prevent Obama's election, and the 2010s atlas shrugged films, it didn't get distribution, so that is progress, possibly.

those boots might be excessive in size; anything beyond a basic two point viewing perspective from me ends up distorted but theoretically if i keep trying eventually i will grasp it better, but until then oversized objects toward the base of the image may have to be suffered
