I Know It's Been Talked About Before But I Still Don't Think It's Been Emphasized How *fucked* Today's

I know it's been talked about before but I still don't think it's been emphasized how *fucked* today's internet experience is for children. I didn't know what the word "discourse" was when I was 8, or 10, or even 13. I was too busy playing the nigh-limitless amount of flash games out there on the internet and making sure my neopets were fed. Like I cannot stress enough that if I had free time on the computer, 9 times out of 10 I could go and play a jaunty little game someone had whipped up and put out there for no other reason than that creating games was awesome and easy to do. Or go to some page that existed just to collect memes; you see back then there were more than 4 sites, and you didn't need accounts to visit them. I didn't get targeted ads. I wasn't exposed to any sort of political ideology. I spent a lot of time on the computer but no one site monopolized my time or tried to fucking manipulate me into using it more. The internet was for more than one thing back then, and honestly I don't think enough people realize how much has been stolen from us.

if you're comfortable with sharing . . . this blessed doll was curious on how to make rentry graphics with gifs . . . as you've made them before, this one decided to ask

well , it depends what type of gif the blessed doll is looking to make !

image - fade type gif explanation ~

but onto the edited gif tutorial !

i go into ibis - paint x && Open the gif that i want to edit ,

add a new layer , color it white , lower the opacity ~

add another layer , go to filters > frame > blur frame , strength is set at 15 , apply it twice ( don' t just set it at 30 ) , turn the gif ) first layer' s opacity to zero %%. save it as a transparent png !

that’s it
