I'm working on a green screen project that's going to emulate one of the Wandavision commercials. I'm trying to find a stock image of a 1950s office with no people in it, wide framing. I can't track down any office images on istockphoto, getty or anywhere. Does anyone happen to know of any retro stock sites? Or anyplace else to look?
Thanks in advance as always!- why not make one in 3D?grafician

This week I've been on the jury in a historic child abuse case involving a football coach. We have to watch witnesses from a cinema so we are all socially distanced.
I imagine there's some articles about it online already, but I haven't had a look yet.
Thankfully not as horrific as I thought it would be, but still pretty grim.- Will post some more next week once the verdict is announced.PhanLo

saw a guy on facebook who has the first name of one friend and the last name of another and looks like a cross between the two, i thought it was a piss take so i clicked through and it's a real dude.
not only is he real, he runs a coffee company (both friends are baristas) and he is a funk DJ (both friends are atrocious DJs, one rock one disco)... tbh, those two are just fucking weirdos and this guy looks far more well adjusted
didn't expect that
- He comes from an alternate reality with half the population of ours where 2 individuals merge into a single functional version of each one's ideals.palimpsest
- heh, and the curse is you're now an obsessive liverpool fc fan. yeah i could buy that.kingsteven

Been trying to understand this trans movement a bit more recently, which was much weirder than i expected. Are people really suggesting if they want to identify as an 8 year old child, even though they're a 45 year old man, they can? How far does this ridiculousness go? It sounds too stupid, but are we going through a global identity crisis?
The kid in the Years and Years TV show was identifying as a trans human which seemed kind of satire enough to be ridiculous, but still daft enough to be a possibility.
- Some people live on the edge of gender. Not sure anyone not going through that can actually relate.********
- "want to identify as" is a funny way to look at it and there have always been diaper men and cat people and the like. most trans movements are against discriminkingsteven
- ation and for support - on the fringes it's activism against folks that are actively and openly discriminating against them. and in reality its oftenkingsteven
- high functioning folks that identify as male/ female and want to get on with their shitkingsteven
- I just saw The Skin I Live In a few nights ago and I was wondering about this same topic because I kind of realized its a world I know little about, really.********
- I hope you aren’t painting all transsexuals as ridiculous. The fact is that gender isn’t simply binary, it’s a scale, and all science backs this up.monospaced
- What you perceive as a “movement” is just a more public awareness of what has always existed. There is no such thing as “too far”monospaced
- If you continue to act like this is a choice then you are contributing to the global misunderstanding and ignorance on the subject.monospaced
- And that world is at the forefront of contemporary ethics********
- mono, it's definitely a choice for some, they get swept up with online identity nonsense and fads and end up regretting it. Some is mental illness. It's an_niko
- ...extreme form of body modification for others._niko
- I'm sure it's a minority but it is there._niko
- Yes its body modification and gender is only the beginning as we move into cyborg entities. Thats where these ethics are leading up to********
- The body is a vessel for the mind********
- Some people kill themselves, should euthanasia be legal? Some say yes because of the ethics********
- That's a decision a person cant relent on either. A person has to live with their decision like a bad tattoo********
- Or bad haircut********
- Mono, I'm more interested/confused by people self identifying with whatever they want. If we want to give protection to someone who wants to identify as a...Ianbolton
- slice of toast, then I'm afraid I can't take that seriously. Sex isn't binary, but we could argue gender is. Or do I have them the wrong way round?Ianbolton
- Anyway, i wasn't really speaking about transexualism. More the wider arguement of self identifying with whatever you want to.Ianbolton
- Gender is an affect of genetical mix, across a spectrum. Age is an affect of time as a constant.shapesalad
- Does it even matter how people identify? The literal most it would affect a person is they may have to start asking instead of assuming. Is that really so hard?scarabin
- The age thing seems much more rare, trauma-based, and is usually brought up by folks who don’t understand what its like being born the wrong genderscarabin
- @scara 100% agreed. The bigger issue is somebody getting so bent out of shape over somebody else wanting to be themselves.garbage
- until it isn't about my ass i don't care.
no matter how much details i hear about this topic/debate from both sides i'm still not interested.sted - well if this isn’t only about transsexuals, then maybe we shouldn’t use the word trans when talking about just identifyingmonospaced
- I don’t know a ton about all this, but I do know some transsexuals in various stages, from just identity to complete change. All just people.monospaced
- usually not that hard as scarabin said, unless you have to deal with this dude:

- I support anyone's right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?TOMMYxGUNN
- I wonder if the modern "gender identity" movement is actually an early form of transhumanism.yuekit
- On one hand transsexuality has always existed, although it's treated differently in different cultures. But what you're seeing now with so many people usingyuekit
- pronouns and implying that your identity is separate from your current physical form seems to be a separate phenomenon from that?yuekit
- Gender is not binary ? lol, stop the bullshitting please********

- Sex is binary and bimodal, there is no third sex or varying degrees of fe/male. Gender is sociological and entirely rooted in sex-based stereotypes.i_monk
- actually 2% of people qualify as intersex and the vast majority of them dont know unless their genitals looked odd at birth. i would say that's a separate thingkingsteven
- entirely, gender is of course entirely a social construct.kingsteven
- What is a woman?TOMMYxGUNN
- If a woman is yang does she cease to be feminine? Probably not********

- "having to participate in your self image"? it's just called being polite and it's been around for milleniascarabin
- the discomfort of being born the wrong gender FAR outweighs the discomfort of you having to call someone "sir" or "madame" when you normally might notscarabin
- 100% of intersex people are either male or female. Sex is more than genitalia.i_monk
- The word trans is the term that's making me explore all this Mono. I struggled to feel at ease with myself growing up, but jesus, it's so much harder now.Ianbolton
- I want people to feel at ease exploring all this, but a 15 year old screaming out for a sex change isn't always going to solve their problems.Ianbolton
- So, I posted this just to see whether anyone actually gives a fuck?! It seems like a big issue with 4000% more girls asking to change gender than 10 years agoIanbolton
- Being born the 'wrong gender' is the same as being born the wrong religion, language, tax bracket, etc.i_monk
- Some people live on the edge of gender. Not sure anyone not going through that can actually relate.

"Fanny Fucks"
I never say that out loud, but sometimes when working and something goes wrong with the old Adobe or such... "Fanny fucks" comes into the minds voice and is spoke between the ears.

I've always like Deee Lite, especially Towa Tei. I find his brand of beatmaking and producing to be particularly excellent. I'm listening to him now as the week winds down, the temperatures go up and my mood is improving.

i feel the blog thread has detracted from overall content here
not that what is posted here is bad, but often the opposite: i think a lot of the posts in 'blog' merit their own threads, as the replies can stack up pretty substantially while being limited in their length. it's inherently antithetical to discourse at a certain point, so when you start a conversation topic as a sub-post, it's never really going to be a conversation.

Is there such a thing as purchase dread?
I have the hardest time pulling the trigger on major purchases. I have a 2011 MacBook and a 2006 car both in need of an upgrade but I know as soon as I buy something new they’ll come out with something much much better and be like
“haha you fucking idiot if you waited a little longer you could have had the next gen version which is so much better, but instead you bought this obsolete piece of shit”So here I am in a perpetual holding pattern lol
- smart & disciplinedGuyFawkes
- crypto and nfts hates this guygrafician
- but seriously, niko wait if you can for this Fall, new MBPros, new ipads maybe, anyway new stuff and new generation so wait just a little moregrafician
- If you feel that way, then just wait until no longer possible and buy then. The need should be driver, not the want.ESKEMA
- For sure eskema, I usually just drive it into the ground or wait till it stops working. MacBook is on its lady legs, can’t run latest Adobe suite etc_niko
- And my car is an accord, damn thing is bullet proof, it’s got 300k on it and I could put another 300k and it wouldn’t blink lol_niko

- ...Breaking, no self driving, hmmm fuck it I’ve convinced myself to keep it, who needs all the new nonsense bells and whistles lol_niko
- Keep the Accord. Buy a Mac now. Global semiconductor shortage might affect pricing/availabilty later in the year.monNom
- Used car prices rising now and production of new cars is slowed down so if you don't think the accord has another 300 in it, you might want to jump.monNom
