Hoo boy do I envy you. So, upon opening up its trade ports to the Dutch, Japan not only ushered in a cultural revolution, but a culinary one. Many new styles of foods and flavors were introduced. Some people didn’t like this though. They thought they should just stick to native fruits and vegetables, not these foreign bananas (ばな literally “wood foot food”) the Dutch typically brought with them. So, preparing for their own future imperialist ambitions, Japan invented coded language using food to refer to their future rivals. When the Americans caught yellow fever during WW2, they imported many of these same racist jokes. They still carry on this tradition today - you can find out more at the historical resource lemonparty.org

GIMP needs a glow up. It looks like what it is, but for a program looking for artists and designers to switch - you’re not going to get it by looking like the Temu photoshop.

Yeah I lost it when I saw this too. But, because I waited so long to switch to Linux, it’s to the point where I feel it has so much of what was lacking the last time I used it. Easily over ten years ago. Thank you to everyone who slogged through it to get here.

Can we please stop blaming ‘drugs’ or ketamine specifically, even when joking. This is seriously hurting its reputation and future use as a therapeutic option. It might not feel like a big deal but every time we say this it normalizes it. Not targeting you specifically just trying to call it out any time I see it - thank you.

Well. Seeing as this is NCD…
