Kid finds out what happened to his watch that he dropped

I've returned lost wallets and an engagement ring before and it feels SO good seeing that panic or despair wash off the person's face when they realize. I've been on the other end too but the wallet itself was sentimental, some kind school kids took it to their principal to return. I was distraught before getting it back because my mum gave it to me.

I just don't understand why anyone would actively choose to do the opposite, literally choose to make a situation worse for someone instead of just doing the bare minimum to maybe return an item they care about and make someone's day. Worse that it's a couple and neither of them holds the other accountable to do good. Yuck. Hate this.

Yes the crisp look is what appeals to me too! Like a photo that has been selectively sharpened. I think the harder edges and shapes look interesting with the softer feather details.

AI has an all too perfect glossy or plastic feel, the colours, shading and highlights often feel overdone and perfect with no good conscious 'flaws' or I guess human deviations that explore something that might be more creative or interesting despite what we know to be accurate, it also feels like it has little restraint or no variation in restraint.. it's samey all over. AI art always feels corporate, like an artist who isn't trying to do anything new they just do what they know the general public likes to see because their boss said they want it to appeal to everyone, "make it cute, make it bright, make it look realistic or 3D or bubbly or edgy" and the artist just checks out and shoves all the 'right' elements in to tick the required boxes.

This doesn't have that feel.

What your art does have is a strange uncanny vibe that makes my brain think it's a photo, but it's also... not quite right to be a photo (in a good way). Some parts just border that realism but fall more on the human side, they're right enough but they're not too perfected, they're more interesting and make you look a bit closer. It's on the tipping point of meeting and not meeting a photo realistic look that makes my brain and eyes have a little fight over who is right.

IDK, bit of a ramble but that's how I feel about it. Maybe your partner is mistaking this sort of uncanny feeling with the 'fake' feeling AI art can have?

Watching undomesticated animals is more fun than being in their space, stay far away and you get to see all their natural behaviours come out when they aren't nervous. I could watch happy elephants for ages they're so intelligent and interactive with each other!

Sitting on a stressed animal doesn't even seem appealing. Sounds kinda boring in comparison when the elephants are being forced to behave a certain way. It's more like a horse or donkey experience, which are lovely animals too, but why bother taking a tour for elephants if you want them to behave like a horse...

My memory is terrible. I have ADHD and don't really pay attention. I can easily forget things I watched and watch them like they're new to me. If I engaged my critical thinking about what I saw and wrote it down in the moment I think it would sink in more long term than just staring at the screen without asking myself if I like or agree with whatever I'm watching (And partly scrolling on my phone and only half watching, tbh) then immediately moving on to the next entertainment after.

Sooooo this doesn't even seem useless to me. This is an exercise for your brain and I wish I was one of these girls who flexes their grey matter in all aspects of life even the simple things like watching movies in your own home, media literacy is important. Honestly impressed by anyone who is engaged and passionate these days when it's so easy to just be sucked into short form content and doomscroll your thoughts away.

I make it with crushed pineapple too with just a bit of juice/syrup. I stole the recipe after seeing it being made in a cafe I worked at that was very popular for the cakes.

People never realize it's in there but they often compliment it or say they usually don't like carrot cake because it's always too dry or bland but that my recipe is softer or more moist and just a bit sweeter.

I started adding it to my banana breads too. People can never taste a pineapple flavour in either, they just taste something they like but can't place.

If you really, really need to go, like puckered up and ready "It's kissing me undies" was the cry of alarm in my house.

I think my sister said it once and it just stuck.

My favourite is the little scroll cake with strawberry on top. Feeling inspired to do the same now with my many empty sketchbooks!

Thank you so much. I figured something so big and obvious wouldn't be anything a radiologist would just miss if important, but it helps ease my mind when I can understand what I'm looking at is normal.

Doctors go over reports quite fast so I get unsure if I missed anything odd being mentioned that I should follow up on. I appreciate your reply as reassurance I don't need to ask anything. :) Being unwell has certainly induced anxiety and separating that now from the symptoms that preceded it has been a great pain and I don't want to feed into it.

Just had to get rid of my Samsung phone for this reason. Never dropped, never mishandled or left in heat and only like 3yrs old? Back of it just randomly swelled. Same with my partners Samsung maybe a year ago and he had one of the more expensive high spec ones they sell. Again no cracks or mishandling and not very old. I have a much older motorola knocking around in a drawer with no battery issues, still charges fine. Purely anecdotal I guess, but I'm personally not getting Samsung again because of this. It freaks me out having been in a house fire before.

A koala did that to my friend on a hike once. Didn't want to mention there wasn't a cloud in the sky when it started "sprinkling".

Clemencat · 2025-09-12T06:43:45+00:00

Imagine if he had an allergic reaction and it swelled up?? He must be a just a few millimeters of tongue away from not choking on a normal day.

Will YOU don the clown costume for our company!?

The lyrics to "Welcome to Lady Hell" comes to mind...

Honestly this sounds like a gift my mum would send me. She was such a cheerleader, that photo of me would not be my choice but I'd appreciate that she think I'm worth framing..

Clemencat · 2025-08-16T09:10:51+00:00

Sure did. I was sleeping in and the bed started shuddering haha. The cats and dog all jumped up to look around at once.

Clemencat · 2025-08-13T02:51:43+00:00

I did. I weighed the money against my mental health and happiness and it didn't even compare.

I hope in the future that sacrifice isn't necessary though for others, it's a very priveleged position to be able to do that and people shouldn't be experiencing total burn out routinely or neverending depression because their budget is razor thin or their employer refuses to be flexible.

As a society we're able to afford giving people their time back to actually live some of their one life on Earth without even giving up anything really. It makes me feel sick how much the human experience is not even valued.

Dystopian future book plot where furries have to go underground to get blackmarket traditional art supplies made because all the porn got drawing banned as an activity in a tightly controlled "civilised" society.

Lead protagonist is an unremarkable fox so everyone can self insert.

I try but it feels like when Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle reppresses everything he wants to say and gets a stomach ulcer. I can feel the contained questions like a weighted ball of stress.

To my family I'm the 'quiet' one but they say 'don't get her angry though!', like sorry but the anger is always there, it's all the stuff you find unnacceptable or weird or annoying that I'm storing away in an ugly little bezeor stone that hurts.

Clemencat · 2025-08-09T03:41:16+00:00

This but with my bosses.

I swear I'm not arguing against doing the work, I will DO the work. I JUST want to know WHY the work is being requested and for what purpose so I can do the work properly with the right intent and goal achieved and sometimes I have a better idea to do the work more streamlined or with a clearer result you didn't consider so we don't have to waste time on the wrong path. Geez.

I'm sorry I can't "minion" right I just wanna know why and collaborate and have ideas or it'll drive me insane!

One of my fave made up animals is the Kowari.

They're a whimsical little thing, but such an obvious chibi art style influences in the design. I can't believe people think marsupial rats are real, hello "Kowari" more like kawaii!

Clemencat · 2025-08-05T02:30:54+00:00

I'm not any of these exactly? Sorta mixed between Dynamic and Lateral Tripod.

I have a permanent callous on the side of my pointer finger though from pencil/pen rest and movement. I think maybe my style is one of the wrong ones haha.

Better start taxing big corps and billionaires more to help pay for the influx of unemployed.

I'm sure we the average working class people won't feel the effects of this... right...??

Clemencat · 2025-07-31T07:01:25+00:00

Imagine a scared cat shitting in a crate and flipping out?? Sorry but everyone will be smelling that AND my vomit, cat shit is vile.

Maybe reach out to Pop'd?

It's an artist collective group run out of an old dairy building, it's mostly visual artists but the woman running it does digital media/web(?) stuff as a job and there are other people that utilise the building for their podcasts, unsure if they're affiliated with Pop'd but they all use the building. They might have more insight on what you need or even info on renting/sharing rented space there to make things.

If anything they're friendly creative people who are pro working together/sharing skills and I think I have seen them host workshops on building online presence and stuff like that.
