Piso Mojado

I've spent most of my adult life searching for the chillest operating system, and it's only now, in the final moments of my ik-ship, that I realize the chillest os is the one you use to post on byob.

Hello long time lurker first time poster. I like nice happy places with little pressure so I think this might be for me. I don't understand GBS anymore and I never understood fyad. I guess I post mainly in games but want to broaden my horizons.

hello. to help newcomers understand byob, we've summarized our mission statement into the following algorithm for simplicity's sake. welcome!

Ok guys. Take a moment to look at the first page. There is a littering of duplicate threads and parody threads. This is why I asked that we not do this

I regret nothing. :colbert:

I didn't want to poo poo up the very good apps thread with this but wanted to get it out of my system:

While I was sleeping, someone sent me an IM on ICQ (in tyool 2016, wtf) telling me to "cool my jets" and stop "wasting time & effort effortposting in the shitposting forum".

loll. I'm laughing at this goon but sad for his life. but I'm laughing more.

mentally ill weirdo goon: listen, I'm icq'ing you (usenet is down) because I'm worried about you. you made a post in the "shitposting" pastel forum that didn't mention cuck, cucking, sjw's, sjcucking, or xbox. you don't know me, but I feel like I need to step in. hey, I get it. we all want to post 420 and other funny low effort things like 69 and the funny "cukc" meme. but you need to cool your jets. I'm not crazy or weird. really. I'm an anonymous friend. stay safe.

GIMP and Inkscape are good and made by good people. The ui is just different than cs2, it's not bad (unless on mac).

cs2 is good, gimp is good, illustrator and Inkscape are also good. contoversial, I know

artsy stuff mostly, abstract 3d renders in pencil on recycled paper and hispter stuff like that. Sometimes I do sewing patterns for friends as well. I have three different vintage pen plotters I've snatched up from bankruptcy auctions.

I also have one of those neat-o eggbots from Evil Mad Scientist Labs which can plot stuff on round objects with pens.

sounds cool and now I'm curious! I have 2 plotters I never use right next to me. can you pm or attach a sketch, I want to see what kind of layout your using. :]

Piso, the album you linked me is really helping me get some sleep. I clocked out at 11pm and woke up at 1am. Then from 1am to 5am. I woke up the to my cat Sawyer wanting to spoon with me. He doesn't like my door being closed so he'll rip up the carpet in protest. I've used the album twice now with a no ad youtube mobile browser. Thanks for linking it, it helps me a lot. I'm about to sleep again.

no problem! that album is my go to coding album for nearly a decade now! I'm glad you liked it.

Let me put it this way there are so many published peer reviewed articles with figures made in gimp and inkscape if you hate gimp and inkscape you hate science

hahahaha. I used gimp for both of my publications and people thought I was a computer genius.

I know right when i showed my advisor you could modify the components of vector graphics like plots from matlab with inkscape, he quietly handed his professor wand to me and said "you're the advisor now"

ikr!? Pretty much every biology paper published from my uni between 2004-2006 has a sass generated plot on it modified by me lol.

some are gang tags, like ones that identify you as part of a group (i.e. Posting Pals, Bone Buds). However, if it's an award like 'Paticipant' or 'You're Inconsistent', then it's a community badge.

I actually did have a pet bee. I used to leave little plates of sugar and honey about the room so he could bumble back and forth.
When I have my own garden I am going to have an Apiary! Also a pond with some ducks. This is my future dream.

it's hard work man, I have 5 hives and I went from loving bees to secretly wanting all those jerks colony collapse.

the sweet sweet honey makes it all worth it I guess.

bonus technological improvement - now in cali you can "see" your "doctor" online by filling out an online form and paying and your card arrives in the mail

are you kidding me?! I just awkwardly asked my doctor here to write a letter for me saying I have sleep troubles so I could give it to a doc in cali when I move lol.

The best thing about weed is that you get high while telling the man to go gently caress himself. They should have special weed jails where they arrest you if you have weed and then the cell unlocks if you can solve one of those toddler puzzles with the different shaped blocks.

when one of my threads get gassed, I think to myself - did Beyoncé quit when destiny's child broke up? no, she did not. and now look at her. she could have been pissed that the record contract got "gassed" and just gave up, but she kept it real and now look at her.
