Comment The biggest problem of Gimp is the UI (Score 2) 67

GIMP could make significant inroads if it mocked Photoshop’s UI.

Millions of people are proficient with Photoshop, and they hit a wall whenever they have to work with GIMP, which really earned it’s name.

But nooooo. GIMP is marred by an arcane UI thought off by geeks who have no clue about professional workflow.

I remember taking three hours trying to do what takes 2 minutes with Photoshop. This experienced burned GIMP for me in a very durable way!

Project 2025 calls for establishing that overtime only starts after 160 hours of work within a given month.

So this means that companies will hire a lot of people and work half of them 80 hours per week for 2 weeks, then offer them nothing for the next two weeks while the other half will be working the other 80 hours (page 592).

Interesting article, but what brought the biggest switch was when Nixon opened the republican party’s doors wide-open to the racists who fled the democratic party after Johnson passed the civil rights act.

It was a Republican President that spoke out for the repeal and outlawing of slavery in the USA.

It was the DumboCraps of the Day that were actively trying to retain slavery ... and probably had Lincoln shot by a disaffected John Wilkes Boothe in a theater.

Yes, but this was BEFORE.

BEFORE Nixon opened his arms to the hordes of formerly Democratic Party racists who left the party in droves after the Democrats passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voter’s Rights Act.

The last good republican president was Ike Eisenhower.

and then wonder why they have a bunch of severely fucked up inbred dipshits among them.

They would wonder if they had the brainpower to do so, but as it happens, inbred dipshits make the best unwashed, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing untoothed conservatives, so they surely don’t mind that and much less wonder!

its Constitution and subsequent Bill of Rights tends to speak centuries worth of wisdom regarding why you can never trust the “government”,

It’s just the americans who don’t trust the government, thanks to their bourgeois, calvinist culture where the government is continuously denigrated and thus, there is next to no culture of competent civil service as talent is not attracted to government because of it’s stigma.

What does not help is that the overwhelming majority of politicians are failed businessmen who have no idea how to operate a company, and much less a country. All those people understand is the concept of money in their own pockets and the various grafty, fraudulent way of getting there.

Other cultures have perfectly competent civil services that can actually outperform the private sector.

This clearly is the hand of the medieval, retarded, tentacular islamic "scholars" that prop-up that imperialist, totalitarian religion, the religion of murder that subverts more and more governments, even some Western ones (yeah, Britain, I’m looking at your islamic courts).

They know very well that education is the absolute ennemy of their obscurantism. Islam must be absolutely be fought by all means possible, it’s a cancer that threatens to take back Mankind a thousand years!
