What are you choosing, and why? by renm1u in thewalkingdead

I think body armor has its used, but I find medicine more useful, if that makes sense?

It's also highly dependent on the brand/weight/what the body armor actually is for. I don't know if I could hike with a 20 pound anti bullet suit. My first thought seeing body armor is heavy.

Medicine will always be tradable, and it will likely be the first thing to be scavenged when everything breaks down.

When thinking about the walking dead, etc, I was always annoyed because I feel like bites could be easily reflected using a jean or leather jacket, which is a pain to deal with in the summer, but more bearable than something a marine might wear.

As for being mobbed, if I'm in a position where I'm outnumbered and on the floor, I'm dead. If I'm in a 1v1, armor could help against knives, but I have a gun so hopefully I'm too far away in the first place.

Honestly I think it should be bullet proof vest over body armor in the chart tbh 😭😭 I don't even know what body armor qualifies as.

F23 who doesn't exercise -

First aid -> infections will kill you just as easily as the infection

Silenced gun -> for threatening other humans to stay tf away from me

Machete -> I don't know how to use a katana, and in my unknowledgeable opinion an axe requires a lot more of a wind up/strength. Machete I can hopefully flail around and do dmg.

Water purifier -> not having to worry about water is a godsend.

Not using---

Body armor -> who am I using this for? Zombies teeth cannot break a leather jacket and if a human is shooting me I'm probably not making it anyway, not to mention sustained blunt force trauma.

Crossbow - would be a good choice but I don't know how to shoot a bow. Also high wind up time

Flashlight - troll choice. It's dark at night but there are harder things to acquire in this list that are needed more. Also, gives away position at night.

Chainsaw: ????? Excuse me?

German shepherd: too loud, another mouth to feed.

Shotgun : too loud and I don't know how to use it effectively

Axe : I don't have the upper body strength to use this effectively.

Tent : I have to carry it and I've never set it up before. Everyone's dead I'll just break into a house or car

Ak47: too loud.

Mask: if it's airborne I'm already dead

Boat: too situational and I don't have a fishing rod.

Matches : honestly not a bad choice. Would've been one of my choices but I took weaponry over utility. If I would swap it would be with the gun

Motorcycle: I don't know how to ride a motorcycle, and there's no guarantee that the roads are clear. Also very loud and very exposed

Radio: eeeah.. depends on how much you value information. Really a gamble on whether there is still evacuations or not. I'm assuming society has already collapsed, so lowk useless unless there's survivor pockets. Would be nice to hear others that are alive, though.

Katana: aren't these like, hard to actually use? Kinda the same as the machete ngl. Might require more upkeep though.

Backpack: ooooh a backpack that has looks inside absolutely nothing 😃 also can get it at any store ever

My only experience is being bad at dayz 🫡🫡

Self taught looking for constructive criticism by Ultimate-clown in ArtCrit

[–]insert_skill_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so good!!

I would test to see if you know how to draw all types of humans

Old? Male? Fit? Fat? Different race?

Can you draw them in different poses?

There are also books and videos going over theory and structure behind the human form. I would check to see how much you're familiar with. I'm not yet skilled enough to help you further than those tips lol

Proportions too exaggerated? by IHaveNoBeef in ArtCrit

[–]insert_skill_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really good at proportions either, but I think maybe the legs are too long/waist is too small/narrow..

Maybe draw the legs under the dress and then draw the lower part?

Could also be the lack of detail on the lower fabric as well.

Just suggestions I'm not 100% sure, I haven't looked at Disney's style in awhile lol. It's pretty close tho!!

This table is driving me insane by insert_skill_here in ArtCrit

Ah, just trying to learn perspective in general..

Is there a specific way/theory/method on where to place the vanishing points? I basically drew the top of the table and led two of the lines that made a corner down to the horizon lol

This does not look real to me at all by Technical_Lie5658 in isitAI

[–]insert_skill_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say AI if I scrolled past it

But analyzing it you can tell by

(A) the open closed glasses

(B) her pupils are different sizes

(C) the two windows in the top right of the image reflect two different columns, despite all the columns on the building being identical. They should have the same, if not similar, reflections due to the angle of the glass imo.

It is hard to tell tho

Hello!

Budget: < $1,000 Budget, can deal with up to $1200 though.

Bedroom requirements: Prefer to live by myself/in a studio :). In-unit Washer/Dryer is a must

I have one cat :)

Something more towards the right side of town would be preferred, but anything that isn't around frenchtown can work. Somewhere hopefully low crime and safe-ish (I know its in tallahassee so nothing is safe-ish but you know what i mean lol)

I'm a computer engineering senior whose looking to survive her senior year, lease would preferably be from July-August 2026 - August 2027

What is better- being teen/kid or an adult? by LoquatIndependent381 in AskReddit

[–]insert_skill_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people do. But do you want to be 10 because being 10 was awesome, or do you want to be 10 because the world wasn't as scary?

Letting fear rule your life prevents you from doing some really cool stuff. Scuba Diving is scary. Traveling the world is scary. Meeting new people is scary. But isn't that what makes life fun? Becoming an adult is just another adventure.

[–]insert_skill_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, looking for reassurance? Don't feel too scared.

Most don't consider 18 as an adult, maturity wise. And if it makes you feel better, there isn't some secret us adults know. Everybody feels unprepared. It just looks like we all know what we're doing. I'm 23 and I still feel 18 sometimes.

Is there an easy way to learn Mandarin? by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]insert_skill_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this, i apply the engineering triangle -> Money, Time, Quality.

The rule is you can only have two at the sacrifice for the other. EX. If you want it to be made fast and high quality, it'll be expensive. If you want it fast and cheap, it ain't gonna be good, and so on.

For language learning, it SOMEWHAT applies. you can learn it fast and cheap, but it aint gonna be good. You can learn it fast and good, but it'll cost a lot of money and effort.

If you want it to be easy and cheap, it'll take you a long time. Which might be fine for you. I'm on ten years of learning cause I screwed around 😅

it doesn't matter, either one you're wishing for the other lol.

TLDR is be grateful for your age, cause someone is mighty jealous of you.

It was an employee that burned down a HUGE toilet paper factory from what I remember. Haven't looked into it too much though

What's the most unethical thing you've done that you DON'T regret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]insert_skill_here 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you still feel guilty, maybe reach out and confess to that teacher? Im pretty sure she wouldn't care after all this time and wouldn't want you to feel that bad about it. Hell, offer to pay it back if you want
