People that make claims without evidence will have them dismissed for exactly that reason. If that’s putting you off, then kiss off…
Most places do cash drops if the register is over $100. Leaving about(under) $100 in the register at any time.
Chances of breaking a hundred for a BIC not likely.
Chances of breaking a 50 on a 6 pack, likely. Especially with a pack of smokes. There’s only supposed to be a couple 20s in the til. Shift timing matters. Best chance: it’s end of shift with an employee too busy or lazy to make drops. Also the best time to rob the store.
Americans are predominantly transitioning to 100k+ incomes. The poors are dying as planned and the middle (under 100k but above poverty limits) class continues to steadily shrink.
That’s not too say they’re prosperous. Most are still one missed paycheck away from homelessness.
Yet they’ll sell you there’s less poors than ever.
And people say Americans dumb?!
$1 trillion a year is about $2.5 billion a day. $14 million? That’s approximately worth about 8 minutes (of a year) of our military’s time here in the grand ol’ us of a.
Trump wants that increased to 1.5 trillion. That’s about 3 million/minute. So less than 5 minutes… For Einstein (relativity.)
You have the common outline everything problem. That works for really basic comics and stick figures. You can even elevate it like manga and other graphic novels. But that stroke layer is often just that. You really need to focus on what your tool is and the render intent.
The beak looks really weird… So do the eyes.
Sadly, your not even keeping the grain of the feathers.
Focus on the brightness and contrast. Don’t outline. Your using a multiplicative medium. Draw the shadows. Sometimes instead of gradients you can use strokes.
Or you could use an additive (digital) medium.
If you have light colored pens that can brighten, then you can maybe use that for highlights. Otherwise you need to let the paper shine through.
Like the feet are another area where you’re outlining instead of ‘painting the darkness’. Realize traditional media is subtractive. Things just get darker and darker and it’s often hard to remove than do less. So feel the darkness if you’re doing art this way. Blend those shadows into the canvas. Playfully, lightly if you want realism. Still focus on those dark areas. Illuminate the highlights by the abscence of pigment.
Keep improving. Practice is everything. Nobody is born knowing artistic techniques.
For what platform?
RedReader still works (Android only. It’s on F-droid and other stores.)

That’s antisemitism for ya.
You can let that shit soak before you press it. 5 minutes minimum. And the grind matters. If you do fine grind… you’re getting mud. I prefer a croaser grind and a good 10-15 minute soak with water from the kettle.
You can even cold brew in a French press. That really gives the coffee body.
People aren’t necessarily good lethal shots. Modem medicine is amazing. And funny enough. That dimwit just might consider that and shoot below the waist. To incapacitate but not kill. This is an important distinction in many jurisdictions.
The irony being the perpetrator of an attempted murder would enjoy freedom while the victim of an attempted murder would be incarcerated.
Ultimately, the value of life is arbitrary.
Not necessarily.
By the time any death penalty (execution) would actually occur the birth would have ample time to come to term, if it was viable.
That’d be interesting though. I suppose the mother could continue to attempt to abort the pregnancy while incarcerated.
The audience started chanting 100… 100…
Bibi nonchalantly rebukes, one thing at a time.
Trump would suggest 1000 or 1500 percent. Make Gaza a black hole. Not a white hole, no. A poor, terrible black hole for black people. Am I right or am I white, folks, come on! While Elon Musk continues to bastardize the phrase, “I throw my hands up.”
And suddenly from somewhere Miley Cyrus starts singing…
Hop off the jet with their red MAGA caps,
Constitution folded up like toilet paper scraps,
Welcome to the land of the debt and rage,
Everybody screaming, it’s all the rage.
Gold spray tan with the thousand-yard stare,
Truth getting farked by the corporate data share,
Saw Elon dancing like a loading screen,
Launching meme coins from a trampoline.
So I throw my hands up,
Hospitals closing again,
Healthcare can’t be found,
Schools are hunting grounds,
Even USAID getting fed to the flames,
Kids learning climate change from livestreamed hurricanes! And unprecedented heat waves!
But I know it’s gonna be okay…
That’s what the White House spokesperson said yesterday. And Trump always tells it how it is.
Yeah, it’s fascism in the U-S-A,
Golden statues swaying while the markets decay,
Everybody yelling “freedom isn’t free,”
While we couldn’t afford it anyway.
Throw my hands up, motherfucker pass the bong,
Somehow billionaires are suddenly “working class strong,”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s fascism in the U-S-A.
Welcome to the land of the endless spin,
Where every scandal gets recycled again,
Elon dancing like he owns Mars tonight,
Tweeting through the ketamine satellite.
Butterflies gone, now it’s drones in the sky,
Corporate sponsors waving little flags goodbye,
History teachers chain-smoking offstage,
Watching irony die of old age.
And the crowd goes wild for the giant screens,
Explaining war crimes with marketing schemes,
Every slogan tested by branding teams,
Every nightmare sponsored by American dreams.
So I just throw up,
Facts fade away,
Every press conference feels AI-generated today,
Yeah… it’s fascism in the U-S-A.
Try a mortar and pestle. Heh.
Your wife has good taste in coffee. French press is the way to go! Never understood the allure of a moka pot, except for camping (making coffee on the fire.)
Capitalism is worse. It’s literally Monopoly. We’ve all played that shitty fucking game. With capitalism you get perpetual inflation. A negative sum game. A zero sum game at least implies some basic conservation mechanics, perhaps even a fairness. A negative sum game is a total debt based economy. Waste is a feature. Disposability and commodities go together like peas and carrots, and that ethos sadly reverberates across ecosystems until the planet is dead but you got those pounds or dollars or pesos or whatever. Can’t eat them. Can’t really do Jack shit with them.
The rich gonna wake up some day soon and find the farmer has a well oiled rifle. They’ll make rich fertilizer… 🤑
