Nobody has figured out who the Zodiac killer is yet? Come on, people!

Ha ha ha I totally misread the title. I thought it was 1990 and beyond. Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out!

That must be painful and frustrating. An old coworker of mine was a “real” Christian (by that I mean kind, pleasant, and non-judgmental) and I often wonder what his take on the last several years would be.

This isn’t great, but it’s the best I was able to find doing a quick search for “template fallout meme”.

The habit and routine are definitely factors, but nicotine withdrawal is indeed a major problem. https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/tobacco-nicotine-e-cigarettes/nicotine-addictive

I’m against anything with nicotine in it (except things designed to help you quit, like patches and whatnot). Companies want you addicted to their products. That way, you’re a customer whether you want to be or not. It’s unfair and exploitative.

For every newsworthy story like that, I bet there are a huge number of “mistakes” that are, coincidentally, always in the company’s favor. That, and the nightmare of getting it sorted out, are the two biggest reasons I won’t use automatic payments.

Fortunately, not that far. I’ll set up recurring payments through my bank website, where I’m the one in charge. I won’t give, say, the power company permission to make withdrawals from my account.

I do not trust automatic payments. I stubbornly refuse to give a company my bank account info.

I’ll glance at someone’s comment history before blocking them. If they were merely unusually angry (or maybe I just didn’t get their joke), whatever. It happens. If they’re an asshole on a regular basis, though, I don’t need to see their next tantrum. Time for a block.

Come on. I don’t expect the average person to be an expert at this, but a professional animator should understand that the human face is a bit more complex than Mr. Potato Head. You don’t just slap a grin on there and call it a day. It’s not like this is some groundbreaking experiment, and nobody has ever tried to animate a face before.
