Ehehehe, you guessed well. All of the above, plus beach showers when it's not too cold. Camping showers for when I'm in the outback. It's not usually a problem, and certainly wouldn't be in just 1 week, but it's a defining part of it.

I say having to find toilet is a much bigger issue, but even then rarely really a problem.

There are many issues (with my social phobia, people being 90% of them), but I like it a lot for one thing only, freedom.

Only recently I traveled for some months, which was awesome, mostly because of the outback. Otherwise most of the time it was staying close to work, but I still loved it so much always be close to the beach which I would never be able to afford otherwise. And over time I learned the safe places to stay, so I didn't have much issue with not being able to sleep because of noise.

But it's certainly not for everyone. Most of the problems don't bother me at all, when I can have so much freedom. But for most people it would be too high of a price to pay, or they don't enjoy the benefits that much.

I do miss having a house though, specially one with lawn and trees. But the cost is more than the benefits, specially since it means I have to slave my life away to pay for it. If I was super rich and could buy something in a nice place I would though.

Edit: I wouldn't mind if I could solve the issue of having to find a toilet every morning, which some times is quite urgent. But that's a city problem. In the outback it's... sort of a lot easier. If you ignore the cold and mosquitos when you do your business or having to find a place and dig and then bury it. But it's better because you always know you will find the place and it won't take too long.

Kind of... It's kind of like being in a hotel for a week and considering that you lived in one. Though you did have the actual experience then of not always having a bathroom or shower around

How long ago was that? Was it out of choice? I struggle with the concept of being homeless. My van is my home, I have a roof to sleep under, so I don't know if I'm homeless. If a home can only be a fixed place, then yeah.

Thanks for posting this. The bias is stupidly obvious to anyone, but it's the first time I see inside coverage. I wish they could check the Australian news...

Without proper investigation it just sounds like conspiracy theory. Even as i watch Australian news I have trouble believing the bias control.

Thanks for the info. Though what I wanted to post was asking about the protests, which zero_gravitas answered.

The thing is, as someone who worked with photoshop most of my life, Krita is a much more capable image manipulation software than Gimp, really comparable to photoshop. While Gimp is, to me, really more like a toy. It's entirely capable if you just need to do something basic but it will quickly show it's limitations if you need to do professional work.

I guess that may be the issue, that Krita got the stigma of being only for drawing and art. Or, what I think, is just that Gimp is more famous. And since most people don't need a professional tool, they only try that and recommend it, not even knowing that there is something better.

And finally, almost every professional uses photoshop so they don't even know about either Krita or Gimp (and the ones who tried Gimp will give up on open source alternatives quickly). While 3D had a reasonable amount of options before Blender, so people were more willing to try something else.

Just my guess... I hope Krita gets the support Blender got, because they could change the industry in my opinion if they get more funding.

I wish I could do something about people using facebook/instagram.... What I can see is very limited. But thanks a lot! From the thumbnails I got the location. I will try to go. The APAN website seems to have better info. I saw that website before but got confused. There are many websites and it's hard to tell what's more "official".

Regarding posting here, I don't have the energy for that. I learned a lot from the last post, but it's very exhausting when I have a polemic opinion and I get a bunch of people against me. And like a guy said there, I may just be the problem. Either way with the links you gave me I now know where to look. So thanks again!

I don't know on mobile, but on desktop Krita is the Blender of art software. Superior to photoshop in many ways. Oddly i always see people suggesting Gimp, which is like a toy compared to Krita in my opinion.

Where do you get that info? I'm trying to find but searching online just gives me zionist news like abc and so on. I imagine it's all on facebook which I don't use. Even searching on lemmy I only find news about the conflict. I imagine mods don't allow support for protests, even though I thought lemmy would be the ideal place to post about this.

I thought of making a topic about it but i fear i might just get banned, since my previous post against military wasn't exactly well received.

Anyway, do you know where it will be?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yes. And I'm considering that.

Thanks for respectfully disagreeing. Yes, as I said on other post, the term I use is not quite right, but it's how I see it. I just fundamentally see these things in a different way. What you guys see as mourning I see as celebration. But I do understand the intention.

I believe I will learn to see past it (though for 10 years I haven't yet). But if I found my objective it would be a nice bonus.

And thanks, it is genuine. I traveled dozens of thousands of km looking for my ideal town, which I still hope to find!
