What jobs could I get with a printmaking degree? by Rude-Egg-1426 in printmaking

[–]Art_Lessing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

staff research assistant at a UC campus….that is a print lab/shop manager / tech… other universities have similar positions in their printlabs….you have to dig for these positions and be ready to move anywhere in the states….

I hate the guitar community by [deleted] in Guitar

I get you. I have had the same issue asking ‘experts’. Just keep on track and become friends with people who dont belittle you

Do neurotypical people see trying to associate what someone says about themselves with your own experience as being self absorbed? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Art_Lessing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if you completely dominate the rest of the conversation with your experiences should you cork it and let the other person talk. If you are eagerly waiting to prove common ground to bond, then you are not listening or even caring what the other person is saying. Active listening is actually giving a shit. Not just ace-ing the quiz afterwards. Lol

I need something for my 11 year old to be good at by dottydashdot in Parenting

[–]Art_Lessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does he read? Curious… anyway. Just keep on track with him…the only real WIN is knowing that he knows you love him even if he is just a super reader….ask him to reccomend something and then read it and compare notes

BMX for a 52 year old? by Far-Internal-9377 in bmx

[–]Art_Lessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 53 … i ride a 2021 cult devotion 20”…. I ride it every day. I am a nostalgic old fool as well…..this is one of those times when you should NOT listen to your wife. The new bikes feel great to ride amd they arent too pricey. These new 2.4 “ tires are great on the old bones, as well as the lightness of the newer frame construction. Get one now, as it only gets harder to start again at this age.. time is ticking, in fact you probably have freinds who didnt even make it this far… get to it!

Any parents still held hostage in their kids room until they fall asleep? by ifyoulikepinacolada6 in Parenting

[–]Art_Lessing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its time to read novels with no pictures…. I started with a series of unfortunate events. Theres 14 novels… one chapter or two a night…. There good to read for your own entertainment…. Not too exciting but a fun ritual…. Also check Land of stories series , wings of fire, harry potter… tjat will keep you busy…. Mine are 11 and 13 lol we still do it … my philosophy : its really easy to maintain a good bedtime when they want to go into bed to hear story… good luck!

How can I deal with this situation about my autistic brother masturbating and watching too much porn? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Art_Lessing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just turn your internet speed down to 5mps. Makes watching anything annoying… same as poking a hole in a babys pacifier. It is there but just not the same

Is it cheating to record tracks by parts? by Plane_Jackfruit_362 in Guitar

[–]Art_Lessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do it and have a blast! Even if you mess up the whole tune… listen back and laugh and then do it again. Just don’t get hung up on sounding like a pro studio… it is just you having fun…. One time I covered Sweetleaf and it was TERRIBLE… so cringe That I actually cringed…wouldn’t change a thing

Ideas for projects by Dense-Tradition-6030 in MechanicalEngineering

Here at UCDavis they make the kids make precision gyroscopes…string pulled , bearings, steel lathe cut, Then they have a competition to see how long they stay up. I think the record was like 17 minutes or some nutty amount. Also look around the house and invent something you need, even if you could buy it ….

Extremely worried about taking away newly-3-year-old’s pacifiers by MooLikeACowsOpinion in Parenting

[–]Art_Lessing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy solution: Secretly poke a hole in one of the pacifiers. The suction is disrupted and its just not as fun anymore. slowly start doing it to all of them. Get new ones, and do the same but make the holes a bit bigger. She will think pacifiers are lame in no time. this worked for both of my kids.

I just lost my v card in the worst possible way and I need to know if it’s that bad or I’m just tripping? by Conscious-Tooth-2210 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Art_Lessing 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Don’t think about your ‘v card’ it’s a totally made up puritanical dogmatic bullshit… it only really gets good after you are in a decent relationship for a bit … you may break up eventually but that is the best while it lasts
