This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

in addition to ignoring the context behind the war, Western online liberals tend to encourage sacrificing as many Ukrainian lives as "necessary" in order to regain control over pieces of land (primarily the Donbas and Crimea), regardless of what their long-time inhabitants want and what the Ukrainians forced to join the army want

Thanks for also being the first other person I've seen refer to the commonly-accepted-but-fucked-up-practice of Ukrainians being forced to join the army against their will. Any male over 18 gets stripped from their families at the border when trying to flee the country, then forced to hold a gun and shoot at Russians or face death - which is seriously awful.

I've seen it mentioned here a few times, it's even more egregious than a standard draft

Oh fuck me, I thought we canibalized :rat-salute: from hexbear :sadness:

But I do like it's dithered style. Very much actually, it's got great vibes just off of that.

I just use my own emotes and dither everything because It's Fun(TM)

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fucking ayy, props for you. Maybe try making some emotes in the style of images Low Tech Magazine uses. I even tried making some monochrome photos specifically to dither them like that, the results are nice but you kind of need to know what you are doing with the light so it turns out well. You can always mess with the contrast and that could work too.

Either way, the photos edited to look that way look fucking amazing. Dithering rocks.

that's an interesting aesthetic; I've only been using the GIMP dithering filter for emotes so far, tweaking the number of colours in each channel so it's easily recognizable at 100% resolution, very simplistic stuff

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Same, GIMP is just a good tool for me.
