I think the unspoken part here is the frame of reference used when defining what the norm actually is. Something your family does that you also do can be considered normal in that context, but abnormal in your wider community. Something people in your community do (Mennonites driving horse and buggies comes to mind) might be considered normal in that context, but abnormal within the broader society that community exists in relation with.
So someone could be doing something they consider to be normal that, from a broader or different perspective, would be abnormal. And it's usually exposure to that outside/broader position that characterizes behaviour you'd consider normal as abnormal - it's exposure to a different frame of reference for normalcy.
How I do it: Make text, create a new background layer, make the same text but slightly bigger in the colour you want your outline to be, align background text as needed. Save as .png and import into new image if you're looking to add the outlined text to somewhere else (though I suppose you can just merge layers, I do my crap in fits and spurts so I often prefer having the little pieces as discrete files so it's easier to come back to it. Also I've fucked up and merged when I probably shouldn't have a LOT).
Takes some futzing about for sure but that's part of the fun for me.
Edit: Super shitty outline done just by doing the same font size bolded in black. Can obviously be done much better but you'll get the idea.
Careful now. First couple hits of photography are cheap. Then you'll want new lenses, and eventually find yourself becoming semi-pro to feed your new addiction.
You know another fun thing that can happen? A doctor moves practices and changes fax numbers, and the old number gets assigned to a new, completely unrelated non-medical group. But no one told the medical entity that sends faxes, and no one updated the relevant records. All of a sudden several months worth of PHI has been getting sent to a women's clothing store.
Fax in the medical field needs to die. Between the possibility of this happening, higher probability of transmission failure, paper (where offices are still using physical faxes) getting misplaced before getting filed in charts, etc., it's just a plain bad way to send medical information in 2026.
Edit: OH, and don't get me started on fancy, marketing-designed lab reports that use colored indicators to communicate treatment-critical information that no one checked for legibility in black and white, yet still get sent by fax. Like, fucking WHAT??
Yep, that'd be them! Always forget your display name and user id can be different (know there's someone who uses this to hilarious [to giant nerds like me] effect by having it be [x]@threads.com or something)
Oh man, lots. Ada, Kolanki, WorldsDumbestMan, SatansMaggottyCumFart, Neidu, LadyButterfly, CaptainLezbian, CptAggravated, that one guy with the Chinese symbols whose mom is a piece of work, Stamets when he's posting, Sunshine, Blaze, DistantSounds, Sodalite - the list goes on and on.
As a young teen, I arranged irl meets with people from band guestbooks and friends-of-friends-of-friends from MSN pretty frequently.
Dumb, looking back, but all turned out to be who they said they were and good times were had. Would be super concerned if my kid did the same and he's literally an adult now, so idk.
Yet you still can't smoke a THC rich joint legally (yet, unless you're participating in the pilot), and women didn't have full voting rights until the 90s.
Not judging, just thought (as an outsider) this was an odd contrast when most of what I knew about Switzerland until recently was how permissive they were about piracy. Beautiful and interesting place, would love to visit again but it's so f'ing expensive.
Also some more interesting common phrase is "voi vittujen kevät ja kyrpien takatalvi", literally translates to "spring of cunts and blackberry winter of dicks"
As a Canadian, this is the phrase I was looking for when I saw snow sticking on the ground after a nice warm period in the last couple of days. It's perfect and I love it.
...you know, reading this and thinking about what the JCW is (Juggalo Championship Wrestling), I still think 'Los Chingadera' (or El Chingadera, my Spanish is non-existant) works.
That aside I appreciate these extra details! Seriously, ty.
My father referred to me as 'almost 40' the other day, which I deemed rude so I called him 'almost 60', which he also deemed rude.
