I’m just here to tell you that this is a very US centric view. I’m not from the US and, outside of random internet posts, there are no records of any of my political associations, past or present, and I’ve voted in all local and national elections for >20 years. Seeing as extremist forces are unfortunately currently gaining power over here, I REALLY wouldn’t want any type of public record even hinting at who exactly I’ve been voting for.

Fucking hell it’s true. This is exactly the kind of obscure nonsense I love, how did it take me 30 years to learn this?

It might deter other people from bad actions.

The thing is, other shitty people care. They see how we treat dead shitty people and, because humans are irrational, see it as a reward for their behaviour in life. That’s also why I’m against the notion of not speaking ill of the dead - no, people need to realise that they won’t be respected when they’re dead if they were shitty.

I know it doesn’t matter, rationally. But humans are weird and care about what people will think when they’re gone.

I wouldn’t recommend learning to draw from scratch digitally no matter what software, but if you’re not a complete beginner and you’re willing to experiment with its functions, I don’t see why not. There’s a large helpful community and lots of tutorials too.

The latest version is from 2016 and Paint Tool Sai 2 had its most recent update in August, no? I agree, it’s a good program, I’m just worried that “it got released in 2008” might paint the wrong picture :)

Krita (without any kind of unnecessary unsupported and unofficial AI plugins btw). It’s one of the few free programs that I like so much I paid for them.

I’ve also been getting a lot of mileage out of Tiny Media Manager.
