The greasy thumbprint by the tack sells this. Maybe it's a shadow, but it doesn't look right

It might not be so bad, in the long run it encourages you get a more permanent break from that workplace.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime

Well look at you mr VP of sales

Boss makes a thousand
I barely one
I keep my head low
I get my work done
But nothing improves
If we all play along
So I'm joining a union
Together, we're strong

It's amazing how effects that were so convincing can become so obvious and dated.

The greasy thumbprint

I think those 3 pixels are the tacks shadow. It's clear, so the needle would still cast a shadow

Yeah but the greasy thumbprint is funnier

Even "clear" things cast shadows. If you can see it, it's because some of the light is bouncing off and reaching your eyes, so at least that much light won't make it to the page

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Right. I guess I meant the needle would cast a shadow as well as the plastic

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think it's too big to be a shadow, but I'm not a detective

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It might be multiple overlapping shadows. blobfox, blobfoxdetective

Ah a shit carrot to distract from the shit stick. How about money? It's literally why we showed up.

jokes on you, people do that daily in the bathroom anyway

Shut up wesley

That is a shadow from the clear thumbtack head. We had those at work.

But what does a greasy thumb print add to this?

Pro tip: scanners and printers exist. Us them to your advantage :)
