  • no,

    if someone learns art on digital systems they can grab a pencil and do the same on paper. maybe they’ll be annoyed by lack of the undo button, maybe they’ll have to learn colour mixing, and how materials interact with each other, but the core ability to make art is fully transferable between ditigal and paper

    same goes for animation. btw. your statement about it doesn’t make much sense, keyframes are a concept used by both digital and traditional animators. and if you meant frame interpolation then it’s a brute force calculation of the most average of averages given two data-points, 90% of the time the animator has to go back and fix it, developing their animation skills that they can then take to paper and do just the same (would just take way longer)

    now what will a prompt typer do without their AI?

    fuck all is what they’d do. the only transferable skill from that would be idk writing image descriptions for the visually impaired




  • the thing that mentally exhausts me the most is guilt - guilt of undone chores, guilt of unfinished projects, guilt of unfulfilled “potential”. attempting to rest when surrounded with guilt is exhausting too

    i’m working on it of course, but it’s a rather slow climb, with plenty of holes on the way. and if it was just internal that’d be half the problem it is, because on top of all the personal guilt i also need to push back against the culture of grind and constant productivity (which is, in itself, a big source of guilt)

    the only way is through unless i give in to the temptation, fake my death, and join a buddhist monastery in tibet or something idk



  • i’ve recently introduced a new rule for myself - i’m only ever to have one plate, one bowl, one mug, one set of cutlery, up to 2 kitchen knives & 2 pots/pans dirt at a time. if i want to cook more and my usual set is dirty? well, gotta clean them first (though this has also helped me get in the habit of cleaning right after i’m done, so i don’t spend time hungrily waiting for the crusty pans to soak)

    honestly, this has been working great for me. the huge pile of dirty plates and cutlery at the end of the week? no longer a problem, no longer a daunting task, because it no longer exists! there’s one working set, and that’s it

    this also allows me to enjoy my favourite mug all the time instead of once a week :3


  • back when LSD wasn’t demonised by the US government and people were free to study it - scientists found out that after about a week of taking the same dose you’d feel 0 effects. our bodies build up tolerance to LSD crazy fast

    idk how true that is but i’ve seen people online say that if you want the same effects day after you need to double what you took the day previous







  • in Poland we have something similar! we have BLIK and it generates a code for you that the other person taps into their terminal/you tap into an online purchase window, then it tells you to confirm again in the app and there you go, paid

    there’s also BLIK phone transfers, you just need the other person’s phone number and (provided they have their bank linked to their phone number ofc) you can send money to their account that way

    i haven’t paid attention to it recently but when this was being introduced they also added a cheeky “this transaction only took you 30s ;)” at the end lol


  • even if you don’t plan on joining any organisations you do move the needle forward - if you bring up the topic of said organisation existing and speak of it in a good light others will look it up, and maybe join, maybe not - but the positive word will spread. and if many people see an organisation in a positive light, then it’s more likely they’ll join

    nobody is useless, every kind person moves things forward, even if just a little, it’ll all add up to a lot
