I've seen hairspray used on a clear filter to create a similar bloom effect!

Only if it contains no complex entries.

Very well done!

Beautiful! Are you using focus stacking here?

To be fair, I've written plenty of useful code as a hobbyist with the help of Chat GPT. Not good for writing anything factual or creative, but it's a decent assistant at my level.

That was how all image macros looked in back my day, and we liked it!

Thank you so much! Not sure how I missed that. Most of the time I bookmark things on mobile so I can read them later in browser, so this helps me a lot.

If you're looking for a relaxing tea, I highly recommend lavender. I use a tea ball filled with dried flowers that I bought in bulk online. Honey optional. Chamomile is nice, but it has never done much for me beyond "a cup of something warm is relaxing".

I also find that lavender oil works really nicely in an oil diffuser, but it turns out that my husband is terribly allergic to it, so I don't use it that way anymore.

Do you also happen to know if there's a way to see our bookmarked threads? I can see them on the Liftoff app pretty easily, but in the browser version of the site, I have no idea where they are.

There are nowhere near enough demotivational posters being dug up from back in the day.

I did find that the fake article titles were often too "on the nose" to be believable, so I guess that's one level of filtering. But you are right, if you can't explore the article and its sources, you are just guessing whether it is true based on whether it sounds or feels true.

I have another issue with the fact that a headline can be a "real" news headline, from a source that may have a veneer of reputability, but could still very much be full of bias. Is it "fake news" if the article exists and technically contains some verifiable facts, but is otherwise full of propaganda? It gets blurry.
