Me: being socially anxious and going into panic stations when small talk begins.

Other person: it appears that this is not a decent person.

The guy only got the job this week! Goddamn you fuckers can’t be pleased for anything!

Is Mandani going to fix everything? Probably not, but let’s give the guy a chance before we inevitably throw him under the bus for not being left enough, and vote some racist boomer in to take his place because he couldn’t undo the mess of a country you have in four years.

There are different sets of primaries used when we talk about screen, print, light, and paint.

Most people learn RBY through painting, whether as a child, or in art classes at school, and assume it applies to all colour.

“Yeah! The real primary colours are CMY!”

Also bullshit.

Our RGB primaries are a simplification that comes from availability of pigments. While blue was originally a very rare and valuable pigment made from precious stones, it was still more available than magenta or cyan, which are made synthetically.

All of the following is taking paint mixing into mind.

When looking at a continuous colour wheel:

You can see where each colour sits on the spectrum. When you consider a RBY palette, we are limited to essentially the colours in this triangle:

Mixing a vibrant Purple or Green is often difficult with a basic rby colour palette, and a Magenta or Cyan is impossible. We define a primary colour as “foundational colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours”, which means that CMY are real primaries, right? Well, if we look at the CMy palette:

We DO get a wider range of colours, but you’ll notice that a true purple, green, blue, and red are still outside of our range. You can get a pretty close red with Yellow and Magenta, but it will never be as vibrant as a pure Red pigment. So then Red is a primary?

When painting, you should use the colours that you need for the work, and mix from there. The ‘primary colours’ are a tool to teach students the theory of colour mixing. It is not a perfect guide, but teaching complex colour theory to novice painters is just intimidation. Most people get an intro to art, learn RBY, and then leave art, don’t think about it again until a TikTok titled “school LIED to you” introduced CMY.

EDIT: this is from the perspective of an artist. I am not an expert, and certainly got something wrong in here, but the primary argument has always annoyed me

Because a depression is going to make banks sympathetic to the poors? Don’t bet on it.

Any of the Hadrosauridae. Probably Lambeosaurus, specifically for the cover to one of the Dinotopia paperbacks:

More recently it has been determined that hadrosaur likely walked most frequently on all fours, with a larger tail. Still amazing looking creatures (credit to Gabriel Ugueto for the art):

A lot of gatekeepers in the comments who seem to love the idea of a UBI, but hate any attempt to test the viability of one.

I think this is a great step towards proving the benefits of a UBI for the greater population. I believe supporting the arts is always a positive endeavour, so using them as the pilot program kills two birds with one stone. I think that randomising who gets to enter the pilot program may allow some people to game the system, but the benefits outweigh the possibility of one schyster scamming a paycheque. The lottery system stops this becoming a bonus for established or famous artists, and supports creatives in all areas.

All in all, this is a good thing, and the people who want “all or nothing” are short sighted.

And how many of these comedians hold their tongue regarding religion and people of power when performing in their home country? Or when touring internationally on non-state-funded tours?

Don’t take my opinion of these comedians as anti-Saudi. I was plenty anti-Saudi before this. If these ‘comedians’ agreed to take money from the US president to not make mean jokes about him, I’d be just as disgusted at their lack of spine.

Not the same scenario. The equivalent would be these comedians doing a set that was paid for by the White House, with a list of restrictions on what could be said. Which would receive just as much backlash

This mindset from people is what makes online multiplayer games unplayable for me.

I don’t get a lot of time to play games as an adult. When I do, I don’t particularly want people telling me how I should be having fun. There is this weird competition that happens where you need to know everything about a game before you are allowed to partake in the game. It sucks to have missed out on so many experiences, but i guess my not playing sub-optimally made someone else’s experience better, so it’s all good.
