Lol you’re not alone. I think someone commented something similar last night. And you’d have plausible deniability too, since the blue is “accidentally” allowed to show between the white and red stripes.

Focus on maximizing empty horizontal surface space.
Explanation
Have you ever noticed that restaurants and bars often decorate their walls with stuff that would easily be considered clutter on the floor?
Apparently “clutter” is a highly relative descriptor, and the visual-spatial bias behind it privileges horizontal surface space.
You can leverage that knowledge to quickly de-clutter spaces without investing in lots of new storage furniture and organization systems.
It’s by far the cheapest trick I know.
How (basic)
Move and reorient items from horizontal surfaces to vertical ones.
Horizontal surfaces include table tops, floors, chair seats, and so forth.
Vertical surfaces are everything else: shelves, hanging storage, stackable cubes, upright bins, baskets that can sit on top of cabinets, boxes that slide under beds, wall-mounted anything, shelving beneath any horizontal surface, any storage above eye level, etc.
Even just stacking things can make a space look less cluttered.
How (advanced)
Once you start getting creative with this concept, you can build it into the planning of your living space.
For example, you might figure out what stuff can live in wall-mounted dispensers instead of occupying the space of a counter/vanity/floor.
Similarly, you might find visually appealing ways to store “clutter” out in the open, such as a ceiling-mounted pot rack or a stainless steel prep table used as kitchen island storage.
One of my favorite side-effects of this technique is that once you’ve minimized the footprint of items lying on horizontal surfaces, cleaning becomes a snap.
For example, fewer obstructions on the floor lets you use cheap sweeper bots on a schedule that keep interior dust levels low.
Likewise, wiping off counter tops and bathroom vanities takes mere seconds when you don’t have to move anything.
ETA: tldr — “picking up,” interpreted literally, is an endlessly useful principle of housekeeping.
Most of the gastrointestinal distress from capsaicin is the result of poison countermeasures triggered by contact pain signals.
But capsaicin is telling your cells a lie which fewer believe each re-telling, so it requires increasingly ridiculous doses to trigger those internal signals.
If you eat spicy food regularly, you likely won’t get any internal signals again until you graduate to a different category of spiciness, such as extracts.
Hot sauce nerds consider extracts cheating, since you can achieve heat that’s many orders of magnitude above what the hottest pepper hybrids can produce, but do what you must to feel alive.
You’re right, but I wouldn’t guess the intern they tasked with graphics design has ever looked too closely.
Lol in most of the places I grew up you could beckon cats with “kssksskss” but visiting Americans would often use “psspsspss” which made children giggle because it’s the sound locals used to encourage infants to pee.
Both worked though. I think it’s the high pitch sound cats are attuned to for hunting. Just whispering “hey” tends to work, and makes observers think cats understand you.
Yeah, actual Russian collusion aside, anyone who thinks the horizontal stripes in that stylistic divider are supposed to be Russian flags is probably a prime target for ragebait like this.
And if this describes you, consider how the divider is reminiscent of the ribbon used to adorn many official medals. Has the US been secretly promoting the modern Russian flag for hundreds of years? Probably not.
Reading this makes me feel contempt bordering on revulsion. It’s not a good feeling. Hope those two get the help they need to be fully human again.
Downvoting OP doesn’t make this any less true.
Let’s get one thing straight. If your vision of the future excludes rural voters, for whatever reason, you are not a true progressive.
Update: apparently it’s worse than I expected.
Access to localhost is simply not restricted by the OS at all. Inter-app communication via localhost is unregulated, even within a browser runtime “sandbox” (not a true sandbox apparently).
The only reason Brave wasn’t affected is that it required additional user permission for localhost access, so the tracking script halts in that browser to avoid detection.
The reason this is worse is that it means not only can a browser tab “talk” to local apps through specific ports, it can use any port, can talk to other browser tabs, and apps can share data with each other without restriction. If I’m understanding the scope of this loophole, it’s a glaring vulnerability that’s been there from the beginning, and it’s unlikely Meta is the only company to exploit it.
ETA: this is what I gathered from reading the paper. I still need to do my own testing to confirm. In the meantime if anyone knows more feel free to correct any of the above.
Great idea! Many of them offer a nice color palette too. I’ll try it.
