Yeah they do, my """""mother""""" was one.

She viewed children as pets and property. We were there to serve her financially and emotionally, and she had friends who viewed their children the same way.

Got any good recs for movie production channels?

Please, I hid it but it's really obnoxious.

Depends on your circumstances. Imo, if I could go back in time I'd take a year off to work side gigs/volunteer to get a better idea of what I want to pursue and how to go about doing that. I felt really rushed into college and I regret the school I picked.

Also a lot of stress related mental illnesses can pop up in college and that was the case for me and several people I knew. I'm not saying this to discourage you, college is great, but the jump from high school to sudden independence is really jarring for a lot of people. If you are concerned about mental health, consider looking into that.

Then, start with community College because it's cheap and you can finish most of your core classes, then transfer from there.

If your parents give you shit I recommend making a plan and presenting them with it to show that you will be working on yourself and you have a roadmap

Teen vogue killing it again.

Wow rude.

Also Hep A. There was an outbreak of Hep A due to ass eating recently

Remember to use a dental dam folks!

I saw a patient who was 20 with long covid. She can't even tolerate listening to music and can't work. I saw another who developed paralysis in his hand (thankfully treatment has helped and he's recovering)

Fuck the west

Yeah I'm using Obsidian instead.

I wanted to see what the fuss was about after windows 11 came out, because I was sick of Windows intrusive UI and shady business practices.

I still use windows for some things, but now I duel boot to cinnamon and it is my daily desktop driver. I vastly prefer the clean interface and speed of Linux over windows, and I now play most of my games on it too. I was shocked when I realized that Elden Ring runs great, and looks better, on Linux while it was unplayable on windows at release.

I also installed Fedora to my surface pro after a windows update made it impossible to use without severe slowdown. I've had my surface for 6 years and it runs great on Linux.

The only downside to Linux is that, as am artist, the apps are limited. Blender is fantastic, Krita is catching up, but there is no way to use clip studio, harmony (toon boom, storyboard pro), or Zbrush (yes I can sculpt in blender but it is not quite there yet.)

I recommend teaching him that the social credit score only applies to the wealthy and draw parallels to the west's "social credit score"- credit scores.

They are human beings who choose to pursue hate because it's an easy choice and looking at themselves, and questioning the system that they participate in, would be too much for them. Fuck em.

Medication, DBT therapy, and being exposed to rejection over and over again. Sucks but true. Rejection gets easier to manage the more you are exposed to it.

Yeah renewing student loan payments was a dumb shit move and I think he lost the youth vote with that strategy + genocide.

He is learning the hard way that AI is terrible for concept art.

AI can only create things that are a mash up of already available ideas, but if you want to create something new and specific to a vision it with turnarounds/details no, it's not going to do it. It is incapable of making small adjustments specific to a vision.

I like to use AI when working on my art specifically as an idea and reference generator. The AI can act as a fun way to jog the brain and come up with new ideas- but I have never been able to get it to give me exactly what I'm looking for.

Idk I'm digging his wizard era

Real dumb behavior to be sticking those boxes near a window so they can get gradually sun damaged.

I think the real atrocity here is that cardboard boxes can be used as an investment for millions of dollars but that's the stupid world of fine art for you.

I used to work in an office that had Ozempic and gastric bypass patients and fuck no never going to do either after what I've seen. Some patients literally had no stomach left after their surgery, and the Ozembic patients were unable to digest food after the meds paralyzed their stomachs.

Lechies is a mood.
