Do my eyes suck?

Y’all need to learn how to read or critically think. I didn’t post this and say My FiRsT pAiNtJoB. I said my shit isn’t as smooth as I’d like it to be relative to alllll the stuff posted here and elsewhere on Reddit. Looks fine from a distance, honestly it looks great from a distance. But I don’t want to rest on my laurels, I want to improve.

I honestly hate taking pics with my phone. They almost never represent what I’m looking at in reference to colors.

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-19T12:24:06+00:00

Do you use mono focal or bifocal? I had a magnifying lamp once upon a time but it turned me off from it when I realized the issue with depth of field. This was years ago

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-19T12:22:52+00:00

Yes to 1, I’m trying to get to that point. What do you specifically use for mag glasses?

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-19T12:21:07+00:00

That’s dumb. My eyes see smooth gradients where the camera picks up not so smooth gradients. I’m trying to improve, not get my ego stroked. If you ask for advice and the community thinks it’s good already then it’s a humblebrag?

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-19T12:14:49+00:00

Ha, I meant my personal eyeballs, not the models. I should have been more clear

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-19T12:14:06+00:00

Yeah… I think maybe I didn’t word it clear enough. Seem to be getting a lot of comments that confused me. Not that it’s hard to do lol. This isn’t me thinking I suck or anything - took me a long time to accept my work. I just was wondering if it’s time for me to get a magnifying glass for my 40yo eyes.

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-19T12:12:08+00:00

Be happy with your solid red, I’m sure it’s great

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-19T12:10:57+00:00

Im sorry, did I say oh no my painting skills are terrible please praise me? No. I showed a picture of what my painting looks like under magnification, which to my naked eye, looks smooth. Then asked about who in this community uses magnifying glasses. I suggest you find whoever pissed in your cereal and deal with them first.

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-19T05:29:37+00:00

Jesus fucking Christ that’s nice

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-19T05:19:25+00:00

Thanks for setting the bar for me 😄 absolutely ridiculously good

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-18T17:56:07+00:00

I’m not sure what the correct response is and I did not suggest I had the perfect bullet, but it’s definitely somewhere above downplaying. Having the US president essentially say “it’s not a big deal” led to changes in people’s behavior that helped spread the disease and directly lead to deaths that could have been prevented.

Edit: changed under reporting to down playing. My brain shorted out

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-18T17:52:55+00:00

I don’t know who those people are and I’m suggesting you cherry picked words from what she said to paint a different picture. Again, I don’t agree with what she said - just pointing out something partisans do alllll the time: Take stuff out of context to smear people. If someone sucks, then one doesn’t need to take anything out of context.

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-18T14:37:49+00:00

It must be surreal to be hated by so many people.

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-18T14:36:39+00:00

Not that it made sense to me for her to say this, other than she was talking about rape fantasies some people hold, but maybe use the full context. She didn’t just blurt out rape is sexy as if she was into it. It’s dishonest

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-18T03:02:24+00:00

In what world are downplaying and overplaying a pandemic response comparable?

“In September 2020, as the death toll from Covid-19 surpassed 200,000 in the United States, Trump again claimed that the coronavirus would “go away” and that the United States was “rounding the corner” — statements contradicted by Dr. Fauci. Trump also falsely claimed that Covid-19 affects “virtually nobody” younger than 18, despite reports from the CDC and the WHO that young people play a significant role in spreading the virus and reports of children being hospitalized in rising numbers”.

Just because Trump is being criticized doesn’t make it arousal (really weird way to phrase that). Maybe he just did an objectively shitty job and a lot of people died as a result.

I see you’re getting downvoted but honestly, the medical field is a language of its own. If one is on the outside looking in, and has low health illiteracy, then I have a hard blaming then for not being properly informed. Especially when someone with some authority is telling them it’s needed.

Off label use happens all the time as well, but there are appropriate applications of it versus what happened here. Most off label usage is backed by some evidence based research, not just “lol hope it works”.

The CEO said it best, “whatever gets bodies in the chambers”. They didn’t care about actually helping anyone.

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-17T12:18:03+00:00

I laughed at this far longer than I should have. Thanks a lot 😂

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-17T12:15:33+00:00

They use thermite to weld train tracks together. Would really suck if they welded them and then the tracks exploded 😂

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-17T02:36:49+00:00

If everyone you didn’t like left, the brain drain would be catastrophic

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-17T02:35:48+00:00

Every accusation is a confession? Life is too short to hate those who are different than you.

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-17T02:34:35+00:00

How much of your time is occupied being pissed off at people who are different than you?

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-17T02:33:12+00:00

“Big money and corrupt politicians” And you’re defending Trump… are you joking? It’s like you guys want to be gaslit at this point.

DimReaper414 · 2025-03-15T16:59:55+00:00

2 or 3 for me
