I hate LinkedIn with every fibre of my being, but I'm there by 'necessity'.
I hate TikTok, also with every fibre of my being.Frankly, I don't know which of these platforms I hate more.
Unfortunately for me, there's this Robert Mayhew fellow who does very funny agency life-themed sketches on TikTok, and cross-posts them on LinkedIn.
He's very clever, Robert Mayhew is. And really quite witty. And I wish I could hate him for exploiting my hatred of both these social media platforms by posted his clever and witty vids. But I can't.
- In part, I can't really hate him for this flagrant hatred-exploitation, because he doesn't know who I am. At all. So, it's hardly intentional on his part.Continuity
- He's addictive for anyone that ever worked inside an agency - because he's so so spot on with it. So funny.shapesalad

After last years nightmare of dive-bombing seagulls everytime we left the house - because they had a nest on our roof, my wife's idea this year is half empty plastic water bottles with CD'd strapped to them, in the hope that these shiny things may put them off settling here this time, fingers x

Divorce update... wife(ex) is claiming domestic financial abuse against me.
In 3 year of marriage she has earned zero, contributed from her savings zero.
She has had use of a credit card from my account, had money transferred from me to her personal account each month. All living costs paid by me + gifts. She has had the legal right to work here, is not disabled, ill or with child. Zero excuses beside the covid lockdowns. Plenty of jobs she could have tried to get, but she only wanted a certain niche job and aimed for that, didn't get it.
Really scratching my head on how this can be classed as financial abuse - unless she's claiming on my behalf LOL...
- Ah, women. Ahhh, marriage.NBQ00
- Damn. She fuckin hates you. Good luck.monospaced

buddy of mine recently shot this house which is about to go on the market here in Toronto for probably north of $3million.
Old dude was living in it for 58 years, had no heat, missing windows and floors, just decrepit.
This 3D walkthrough is a trip, you get to rummage through his collection of stuff, books, vinyl, art etc.
when you get down to the basement it's right out of a horror movie or game.
- Damn... I went through the whole house, sad to imagine someone living there, possibly trapped in memories. Thanks for sharing.spl33nidoru
- I always found this sort off stuff so fascinating, I used to love exploring abandoned homes or warehouses or storage units... a collection of life_niko
- apparently when my buddy got there he called the listing agent and said there's some homeless guy on the stairs outside, he said nope that's the owner_niko
- after the shoot was done, the guy gave my buddy a vintage Japanese film camera._niko

Will Smith assaulted Chris Rock and then minutes later won an Oscar and gave this acceptance speech.

"Suffers from alopecia".
Bitch is going bald, like a lot of men her age. It's not like she has leukemia.- Translation: who gives a fuck about Will Smith's beefs right now. Or fucking Chris Rock.fadein11
- Answer: The people talking about it.palimpsest
- yeah lol, like us.fadein11
- Exactly.palimpsest
- Oscars - supposed be a celebration of great creative works. But they use silly jokes to entertain. And the actors use violence to solve disputes.shapesalad

- "like a lot of men her age" - you do see how it's different for women, right?mort_
- no. what is equality if female baldness is somehow more important than a male's? that's plain sexism. everyone has body dysmorphia issuesimbecile
- lolpinkfloyd
- Username checks out.mort_
- so you'll insult me instead of try to argue that women have some exclusive right to being self-conscious about their hair? go fuck yourself.imbecile
- what about the gender dropdowns you like to ridicule? which members of those lists can feel sorry for themselves about going bald to receive public sympathy?imbecile
- It's not nearly as common for women to go bald AND society makes it difficult for women who do go bald. I'd have thought those were obvious differences.mort_
- Women's head's lose more heat from all that processing power. That's why they invented weaves.palimpsest
- sOciEtY also makes it easy to cover your dome, even more so for women. Put that weave on if you're in so much pain from that crippling illness.palimpsest

FFS his name was babydickutopian - we each have our idiosyncrecies, his persona was that of a small dicked black man saying racist things. who knew what if any of that was truly him.imbecile

Anyone know how to get InDesign to support Tamil fonts properly? I'm either getting just Latin characters or partial Tamil without proper diacritics etc. Tried five different fonts, so that's not it.
- Maybe the fonts don't have the support or correct character mappings?
Many fonts don't even have normal diacritics anyway...grafician - try the fonts in Ai, and see in the Glyphs palette if they have proper charsgrafician
- I've tried Adobe and Google Tamil fonts, pretty sure they'd check that.i_monk
- Tamil glyphs visible, just not being used when I copy and paste the translation.
(InDesign has a Glyph palette too)i_monk - what grafician meant to say was he has absolutely no idea. also he's thinks you're an idiot for even asking.imbecile
- Try going into the Paragraph tool and click World-Ready Paragraph ComposerGnash
- Try to use paragraph composer as world ready https://community.ad…imbecile
- Already did that.i_monk
- I had the same issue with an Inuktituk fontGnash
- are you copy-pasting, or Importing the copy?Gnash
- C&P from a PDF.i_monk
- The glyphs show up in the font list, in the glyph palette, and I can insert them (one at a time) from the glyph palette, but gibberish comes out when pastingi_monk
- Tried with and without formatting/etc from Acrobat and ID's Clipboard handling settings.i_monk
- Even set up Tamil language support on the Mac itself. Nothing.i_monk
- @i_monk can you share some part of that text pls?sted
- and yeah you need custom hyphenation for indian languages. but if the copy-pasta doesn't shows up its fucked somewhere between the font and the pasted glyphsted
- Will it C&P into a MS word doc successfully?Gnash
- Nope. Guess this isn't an Adobe issue after all.i_monk
- Try opening the PDF in illy? if you haven't tried alreadyGnash
- Tried that, and opening it in Word. Just mangles it into Latin characters.i_monk
- what if the pdf source is fucked with the wrong character positions?sted
- PDF > File / Properties menu >
see tamil font listed (bamini, tsc, latha etc)Gnash - try and find that font on the webs and install it, then open PDF and copy into wordGnash
- here https://danpla.githu…sted
- restarting apps firstGnash
- my colleague just woke up, he said that pdf is fucked, you're going to need an ocr. like this: https://www.i2ocr.co…
(or that other one)sted - CIDFont+F1 through +F6i_monk
- his first q was what fonts does the acrobat reader shows for the pdfsted
- i guess you already done with that. so the next was that acrobat converts some of these poorly designed fonts to images. (i guess he is saying that the oringal)sted
- font is a crap image font, that's why you can't copy the real characters.sted
- @i_monk sorry, u need to ocr it.sted
- Okay, last idea from me...
Open your PDF in the Preview app, then 'export to PDF' maybe apple can fix the font issueGnash - CIDFonted pdf with non-latin characters won't fly.sted
- https://blog.idrsolu…sted
- OCR seems to be working! It's not perfect but I can work with it.
Yeah CID is just the compressed character subset.i_monk - Thanks stedi_monk
- AGAIN the fonts probably don't have the proper font mappings even if they have the correct characters. You will need to edit the font.grafician
- We Romanians do this all the time with fonts that don't map correctly for diacritics.grafician
- But yeah, it's not an easy fix.grafician
- This might help, we produced some Arabic documents last year and had to download the Arabic verison of InDesign to use their specific typographic systemIanbolton
- The OCR got it 90% of the way there. Some ligaures it couldn't recognize, but the glyphs were in the font, easily fixed.i_monk
- Maybe the fonts don't have the support or correct character mappings?
