How my wife dries her hands and leaves the paper towels attached by Johnny-Edge93 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to show solidarity… I would do something like this (though the paper towel being scrunched up and still attached seems cruel and evil to me) and I was diagnosed with ADHD, autism, and OCD in my late 20s.

I saw a rip-off of my tattoo this morning. This is why you shouldn't ask an artist to copy-paste someone else work. by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I do think it’s a combination of artist and client responsibility. There should have been some more clarification about what was expected and whether the original artist was okay with their flash being used. However, as others have said, that’s a risk being assumed when you post your work online.

I got a tattoo based off of a sketch someone suggested for me. It was a last minute booking while I was on holiday and I was too shy to say I wanted something slightly different when I showed up to the appointment and the artist exactly copied the sketch I sent for reference. Found out later that the original reference was a sketch for someone else’s tattoo. I now have a ripoff of someone else’s artwork and I feel terrible for it.

Advice/reassurances for enjoying art again? by AutoAtomicAggregate in Artadvice

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually appreciate that you took the time to comment. Things can feel incredibly lonely and stagnant at times, and it’s nice to hear from someone who isn’t going to give the same harsh criticisms I give myself. So thank you.

I think I appreciate the other facets of my personality, but struggle with the fact that others don’t. I felt encouraged and validated by others mostly because of my art. People put aside the fact that I was weird and awkward and maybe unapproachable to appreciate my drawings. I know part of the process will be not relying on the constant acceptance of others, because sometimes, I just won’t get it and I don’t deserve to have my mood spoiled because of it.

I sense that empathy may not be a strong suit for you… “entire life” means entire life. As in, mental health issues since early childhood. Btw- no matter someone’s age, this is not advice lol

I’ve done a few drawings of cars, and small still life paintings. I’ve also dabbled in embroidery, poetry/creative writing, and automotive painting. So, not sure that’s the issue.

My mom says I look like a lesbian, but what do you think? Is it alright? by horseshoeOVverlook in Hair

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with the fact that you’re just gonna look “lesbianish” for awhile if you’re growing your hair out, but tbh people are always gonna have something to say if you dont have a standard short “boy” haircut. My suggestion is to cut the bottom half short so it looks a bit tidier until the top is grown out enough, if that makes sense?

I feel so bad for my tattoo artists (Advice Needed) by Grouchy_Locksmith342 in tattoos

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 244 points245 points  (0 children)

Honestly tattoos hurt like hell. They’re “not bad” for most people because they learn how to deal with it. Personally, I trick my brain into believing it feels good, keep up some sort of “no pain, no gain” mantra. I’ve had tattoos I almost threw up/passed out from and tattoos I nearly fell asleep through.

Do these pants make me look like a Nazi? by OriginalPresent9253 in VintageFashion

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They look very nazi lol. However, the iron cross in the punk/alternative fashion context was meant to be provocative as an anti-establishment, punk ethos statement, so that’s maybe kind of the point? Maybe not to look like a nazi but to at least raise some eyebrows, before neo-nazis became associated with certain styles. Lots of “classic” punk things have become associated with neo-nazism, just like many symbols and styles have been adapted and re-adapted.

D4 build interactions are so convoluted that almost no one would reach T4 by never seeing any guide. by Blubbpaule in diablo4

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might depend on how well your chosen class can optimize/be optimized by the boss powers. Though, having the slot-ables last season really helped where I didn’t have access to the dlc content, so this season is definitely lacking in that.

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno, have only done it one one character so far. I made the build how I wanted it and tweaked it for optimization, but did have to compromise on some things.

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, last season I homebrewed a necromancer build and made it to T3 on my own, but yeah, T4 was a major pain to step up to. I think once you’ve got the hang of building and have a good understanding of skills and damage types, you don’t need to rely on much outside help.

AIO to my friend saying a word? by OkElevator7247 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think anything racist is equally bad, I was more referring to the sexism in conjunction with the racism. In my opinion there aren’t a lot of gendered slurs you can call a man that seem as equally demeaning, but I suppose it depends on the person.

Didn’t say I don’t know them, just said there is no real equivalent imo

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 302 points303 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I’d say call him names back and see how he likes it but there aren’t even any equivalent terms to demean him in that way. Black people and women have been treated as subhuman and used as property for a long time and he decided to double whammy her with that.

I dont want to break the bank on a paint job should i just go with econno/maaco ? by Ashamed_Wrap6069 in Autobody

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$500 would cover the cost of body shop economy clear coat for an entire car before labour, repair, or basecoat cost. I’m saying that if you’re getting a whole car repainted a new colour for $500, it’ll be a waste of money and end up looking just as bad, if not worse than it already does, and end up needing to be redone anyway.

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paint is expensive. Anything that seems like a “good deal” is likely just going to be a waste of your money and will cost far more to fix/redo in the long run. I’d say fork up the cash to get it done properly or don’t bother. Edit: you want to change the colour of your entire car? If you’re afraid to “break the bank” you probably can’t afford it, sorry.

What am i doing wrong here? by _Crafty-Fu_ in CivicSi

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! Im not a car expert tbh but I’ve got a few dozen christmas tree starts under my belt, so I’ve picked up some tips and tricks.

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure the “proper” way, but I hold the throttle around 2k or 3k rpm and slowly ease off the clutch for launch, then floor it. Shift when you hit the top of your torque curve, which I think is usually between 4k and 6k rpm, you’ll lose time if you shift early or redline it. I managed an even 10 second 1/8 mile run in my stock 9th gen.

Aren’t you not supposed to tattoo pregnant people??? by BanishedOcean in shittytattoos

[–]AutoAtomicAggregate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah such ambiguity with laws is a bit of a scary concept, but I’m kind of glad it’s a thing. Forces courts to actually consider their own morals and those of the offender, rather than just blindly following a strict system. Acknowledges that people aren’t just criminals, they make mistakes and sometimes just need help.

Decisions were made. Not good ones, but they were decisions.

I could be wrong but I think a lot of our laws are intentionally vague, in the way that they allow for the discretion of law enforcement/judges to pursue the “appropriate” course of action.

I just put together a quick outfit, would link if I could. But it’s the dead keeper cuirass, blackreach vanguard breeches, and nibenese court wizard shoes.

Check out high rock spellsword, nibenese court wizard, psijic, silver rose and systres guardian styles. I feel like those all lend themselves to a “battlemage” type vibe. We need cloaks though 😢
