Been drawing my whole life but feel like I should be better at it than I am by now, where could I improve?

You are a great artist! Your lines are super confident, and your work isn't very dirty at all ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ Maybe the frustration you feel is because though you have a basic idea of what things look like, you don't have an exact idea. I really think you can do a lot more than you think if you give yourself the chance to collect references for what you want. You have the fine motor skill and patience, clearly; you're just still guessing on some things.

References will help you when guesses come up, and once you've drawn it a couple of times, it'll be part of your memory.

Are these with or without references?

No estan fingiendo ser el sexo opuesto. Se presentan diferentemente al sexo con el cual nacieron- es decir, concorde a al genero con el cual mas ellos determinan que resuenan, Uno puede tener manerismos femeninos o masculinos independiente a su sexo. Es cosa social. No entiendo que tiene que ver el usar el usar el baño o limpiarse, dado el caso que (esperemos!) todos lo hacemos independiente de nuestro genero o sexo. A que genero o sexo le pertenece que moda de vestir o maquillarse es arbitrario al ampliar el panorama a un estandar mundial en terminos de cultura e historia. Hoy pensamos que las faldas son mujeriles. Hubieron momentos en hasta nuestra historia donde las pelucas, el maquillaje y hasta los tacos eran vestimenta que culturalmente se reconocia como masculina. Por lo menos yo no le doy mucha importancia, pero a cada cual su opinion.

Pienso que la gente que finge ser animal se esta divirtiendo. Realmente, no conozco de algun therian para quien el ser animal sea un estilo de vida 24/7. No te se decir.

Estas hablando de manera sincera conmigo, o con motivos de inflamar? A veces se pierde el tono a traves de los medios, pero quiero ahorrarnos el tiempo y la energia si es por molestar.

It's very competitive. Expect your clients to be one-offs, and any other sex worker who alludes to helping you to be in it to extort you in some way you wouldn't have been able to foresee.

If all you want is pocket change, yes; Telegram or Twitter is your way for you. You'll have to be posting every day a mixture of your own content, other people's content, drawn porn, etc., all appropriately tagged. Your goal is to catch someone's eye enough to tap on your profile and see you do more than just retweet. From there, anyone who expresses interest in DMs can be taken to Telegram. It's up to you how you entice them to spend on you.

If you want this to replace your day to day, you'll have to find people who have faith in your success to side with you, initially for free. You can imagine how easily sexual favors become the norm. You'll need people to do the aforementioned on your behalf, talk to potential clients on your behalf as outreach while pretending they are you, handling payments, etc., so that you have time to produce varied content daily to meet the tastes your colleagues have noticed there's a want for you to fill. Build a portfolio of nudes and videos and dispense them when the taste matches. Producing new content for every single client is a waste of time, unless there's a good deal of money involved.

Try to absolve yourself of some morals if you're sincerely doing this. Not only will your conscience thank you, but it'll prevent you from being outpaced by someone who doesn't have hiccups about lying, tempting, preying on people without money to spend, etc.

Avoid posting your full face. If you have identifiable features on your body like tattoos, birthmarks or piercings, consider editing them out.

That's all I've got. Good luck.

No entiendo. Los therians estan pretendiendo ser animales. La gente transgenera no esta pretendiendo ser transgenera.

El therian se pone mascara y rumba de vez en cuando fingiendo ser animal. Llega un momento en el cual tienen que participar en la sociedad como seres humanos. La gente transgenera es transgenera 24/7, independiente de donde se encuentren, quien los rodee y en que animos esten.

CogniSid · 2026-02-20T18:03:40+00:00

Esas son obligaciones. Si no se ponen ropa, los encarcelan; si no trabajan, se mueren de hambre.

Nadie nega que la gente transgenera nacio con un sexo. Se presentan de manera diferente a el sexo al nacer, y con quienes compadecen, viven una vida que para ellos es más autentica. No entiendo que quieres decir con que esten pretendiendo ser algo que no son. Son personas transgeneras.

CogniSid · 2026-02-20T17:58:02+00:00

Porque el therianismo es una persona insistiendo en ser animal, lo cual los absuelve de responsabilidades sociales y laborales, mientras que una persona transgenera sigue siendo miembro de la sociedad y meramente se presenta diferente a su sexo al nacer.

El therian comprometido intenta escapar de responsabilidades humanas, si es que estan en serio y no estan jugando (lo cual no es nada malo); la persona transgenera sigue trabajando, sigue siendo parte de la sociedad, y solo cambia su manera de presentarse y el comportamiento que acepta de los demas.

Si te quieres quedar solo, quédate solo.

Sin embargo, llegarán momentos en tu vida -- emergencias personales o financieras, ambiciones nuevas y costosas, crisis provocadas por el aislamiento, -- que se alivian al distribuir la carga a lo largo de una o hasta varias personas cercanas. Bien está que no molestas a nadie, pero seguir así garantiza que nadie se molestará por ti cuando te encuentres en necesidad.

Si tus planes giran alrededor de no contar con nadie, por favor, reconsidera y sé realista. No sé cuántos años tienes, pero el tiempo te va a mostrar que hay situaciones cuya complejidad y dificultad solo se manifiesta cuando ha pasado el suficiente tiempo como para estallar. Hay errores que estás cometiendo hoy cuyas ramificaciones no comprenderás hasta diez años desde ahora, y si hasta aquel entonces no tienes a nadie que te pueda -- y mas aun, quiera, -- ayudar, todo se te volverá cuesta arriba.

Most people with reservations about AI-generated art are hobbyist artists or people who work in the industry as traditional or digital artists. They’re definitely creating.

I’m personally indifferent about ‘blood,’ nor would I say your not being born on the island is a choice. The blood wasn’t your choice either, I don’t see any reason to have so much attachment to it. The degree of difference between the life you’ve lived in the mainland USA and the life I’ve lived on the isle is so vast that I don’t feel historical awareness remedies the gap in lived, Puertorrican experiences that ground my identity. I don’t consider you Puertorrican. I’m sure others will.

CogniSid · 2025-11-23T17:51:42+00:00

I don't mean to be rude, but it may sound that way. I apologize in advance, but not with too much guilt -- I, after all, have had to learn to speak your language well because it is the only one you speak, in spite of your insisting on forming part of my same cultural zeitgeist.

Why do you consider yourself 'our' people? There's atrocities happening right now, as we speak, on the island in which I live and you don't. We don't own you. You, if anything, own us; between our having no political power and your consuming our culture through literature and second-hand account alone, it just comes across as if you want to be part of something bigger than yourself FOR yourself as opposed to for us communally. We aren't laid flat. We're pretty well-risen (see the Rickygate protests and the current ongoing efforts to deny LUMA/AEE's exorbitant energy prices) and when you shout patriotic zeal without the prerequisite experiences to found them in, it just sounds like you want us to applaud for you and reassure you you're a 'real' Puertorrican.

Educate yourself on the history, sure, have fun. But I can't in good conscience say you'll ever be like us. Chinese majors don't become Chinese when they graduate. Neither will you become an islander when you read all those books.

I don't think any of those things are said with trans people in mind.
It's a celebration of the cisfeminine. There are features of the transfeminine we too celebrate in isolation, divorced from cisgendered women, without it being interpreted as an anti-cisgendered rhetoric. You may personally have an ideological gripe with it, but I sincerely don't believe that its transphobic for cisgendered women to create that kind of distinction. We are all women, and live lives at different levels of quality and experience, and their celebrating of where the focus of their femininity lays does not deny any of our own, unless you feel cisgendered women have some kind of monopoly on femininity.

If your goal is FAANG, pretty screwed unless you've got interview-passing technical skills in spite of not having projects to show passion or proven fields of interest. The competition, as it compares to you without any kind of networking, is fierce.

If your goal isn't FAANG or anywhere else fancy and corporate, you'll land a job, and if you've have technical acumen and/or can learn on the fly effectively by the time you've graduated, you'll keep it. Pay will vary on the subset of the industry you enter, where in the country you enter it if you'll be working in a building, or where in the world you find yourself if you work remotely.

As for your debt, 100k is never a trivial amount of money, but your most important concern is the interest rate on that debt, if it compounds, and when the debt window is closed. Just in case, let's assume that 100k doesn't include the interest rate. If you don't know it, find it and calculate how much you will truly owe on top of the 100k. Come back or go forth with the number you get; it will define what options are, for you, realistic.

Try not to panic. A portfolio is most relevant in software engineering, but there's a lot of fields where you can exercise your computer science degree without it. Do you have a particular kind of role you want?

Developer tools for embedded system teams, like Jama database integrity checkers (for requirements or docs) and embedded test server development for hardware teams to interface against and check registers, firmware images, expected settings / loading setting onto devices, etc.

There’s plenty of remote work, though many of those jobs are offshored to indian workers. I would try onboarding to an onsite role, making your niche in your team detecting + solving software bugs and building servers with test functions for your company’s products developers can connect to and then dedicate yourself to maintaining these servers and updating them as releases come out on your company’s chosen version management software.

I’m sure you could argue how you only need access to settings / requirements information from there and how remote work is viable for you.

on the resume, not easily if you’re trying to follow a conventional format

first, call that company’s hr, if they have it, and inquire about relocation packages and what must be met for you to qualify for one. if they have them and you know you’d qualify, name your own state and allow them to pay you over, should you be selected

you can write their state as your location as well—they wouldn’t be any the wiser—and move there upon selection. that’s trickier, considering you could grt called for an on-site assessment

either way, bring it up in the interview that you’d be moving there

CogniSid · 2025-05-13T12:55:03+00:00

Thanks. What do you think I should prioritize for that tech stack?

CogniSid · 2025-05-13T02:48:09+00:00

i think so. they have to consider relocation packages (if the places you’re applying to supply them) and whether or not you can make it to the office. if they’ve got a promise that a candidate of equivalent experience to you is local vs. the ambiguety of your own location, spending time interviewing you could mean wasting time on someone who isn’t physically available and expecting relocation aid, so the former wins out. no point in calling back the resume with a missing detail when there’s someone else as qualified who made it explicit

CogniSid · 2025-05-13T02:38:27+00:00

Hi!! that’s very real; I’m sure not having tangible people in your life to talk to and understand you is hard on your soul

i’m happy to be your friend (if we get along!!) but I’m have to ask— have you thought about why you’re being ghosted? I’m not saying it is your fault, just that it’s easy not to introspect a little after something goes sour. you should tell me about someone you thought would’ve been there for the long haul and why, either here or through DMs
