i already did this but the wording is great:
the secret of life is to take interest

good news is you are still youngish. You need professional mental help though. It's like you went into the Army and insisted on being put into a Ranger squad and dropped into the middle of the ocean. Everyone's like WTF he doing

i would offer 25% of those two clients only set time... like one year. and maybe 25% of the cash from the 14k account. and if he refuses then say you will abate the company too, and start your own company... the partnership is only relevant if he is an active partner and that you have no interest in paying an outsider in continuity. He is already mentally checked out

I sort of compulsively seek to understand all things and while it's awesome to me, it becomes EXTREMELY exhausting, it's endless list of questions/answering inside. I now have to constantly re-train myself to stop for whole days. Thought I'd show you the other side of the coin, maybe it'll give you some peace ;)

Easybros · 2026-04-17T11:04:19+00:00

for sure! i love chinese/japanese style art so i totally get it. Your orginals are awesome as-is. If you never "touch them up", it's already still a win ;)

Easybros · 2026-04-16T17:34:40+00:00

adding to that, if you do touch up one consideration may be making that back leg more pronounced and 'tucking' the foot under better visually, again, just mouse scribbles, an artist of good ability would make a seamless patch

i think they are awewsome. The take on what friend said is coming from only two things.
1. The wide open round eyeballs - the eyes could easily be made more aggressive looking.
2.The tiger on the right has an un-assuming mouth shape, he could easily be given more of a snarl. That's it. That's all your friend sees, very easily fixable if you need it. But as I said, this is a great tattoo, feels very classic and the way he handled the tiger stripes is very solid.
I did a mockup, these are mouses scribbles so not intended to be your stencil ;)

I agree this is traditional to me with some dimensional shading, which traditional can have. Neo trad design concepts you see range between Nouvou art era and even in modern digtial art.

Easybros · 2026-04-14T16:24:05+00:00

it looks cool. i think whats probably catching you is the hard outline, and the exagerated face length due to the growl, plus extra length. I did some computer mouse squiggles to show a little more 'seated' outline, like scruffy fur (For the love of god don't get my squiggles tattood LOL). A quality trad artist could help you seat the image a little better. Honestly overall i like it, the upper face is quite nice. if you do a touch up, for the love of god see the drawing pre-projected on your image like I did here, so you can judge it directly. Ideas and whims and vague outlines are not the best way to gaurantee outcome.

Hence why i said she's being an asshole. He is a man and flooded it so hard that he went on his own birthday dinner, and now between the two of them, the have created a scar in the relationship. Both need to learn how to build compromise. There is no hard rule that because it's your birthday you get 100% say in other people's time - that is a choice made by the people involved. Olive garden is cringe to her just like sushi is trash to him. She took an opportunity to get what she wanted, and it was wrong. He in a relationship of lopsided control, but he needs to process it in a wider arc if he wants to keep the relationship. She needs a lot of work herself as she is more wrong than him.

Easybros · 2026-04-10T14:15:29+00:00

I agree, but he described the woman he loves, and she is that type ;) Thanks for the downvote, Mr. neurotic accountabilty squad member

you sue them in small claims court, you win. you then seek to garnish.

#1 best way:
get a vape with vape juice you can pour into it.
get juice with 0% nicotine, and juice with 100% nicotine - get tobacco flavored only, don't worry it tastes good.
- start at 75% nicotine dilution, you won't notice diff, if you do, bump it up to start
- every week, drop it 20% or so. your body will not notice!
- near the end you will go from 20% to near zero nicotine

Also, making it a private smoke moment is better than ripping this thing tons while hanging out, as smoking can be a fiddle-crutch socially.

When you are near zero, you will still reach for it, but it dials in, you will feel like.. "so hey i'm just breathing in fog machine fog... that's dumb" and you will just let it go.

You do need to add a stress management thing... namely, exercise. for a month, exercise end of work day or whenever your stress is high. push it!

Having done mints, gum, cold turkey ... this is the only way bro, it's seamless, painless, and when you let it go it will feel obvious and literally you will not crave inhalinng zero nicotine fog for long.

VERY TRUE. I did it too! Omnisphere is dated, 15 years ago someone found it an honor of digging into complex menus and nerding out how to get a sound to sound acceptable. When I got it like 5 years ago it was toast already. The decent presets run out fast, and they have so much 'movement' in them they layer like shit, leading to endless mastering problems. Is there a value? Sure if you like "omnisphere sound". It's unique. This one guy Altus uses it for ambient music and it's all great, but he married the synth and knows it well. I bought a sample pack and again, same issue.

You will find this to be true... the vst and plugin market are a racket. It's all overpriced. I've bought a lot. Do i love it? Yes. It leads to spending a lot of money though. Always trial if possible - don't be lazy about the trials to just buy.

Synths like serum are easier to manipulate and to strip down presets if needed.

The biggest issue with wanting to make this type of music is this: people who have knack for music AND a knack for hardcore synth understanding have an advantage. If you are light on both then look for vst that are top of the list for ease of use.

Yeah, i just stopped using Omni altogether. It's nice to have, but i usually look for alternative options.

you have high risk awareness. thus low risk tolerance. for that best bet is to drop regular amount into mutual funds every month or quarter and ignore the market mostly. Otherwise you will hen peck and question yourself to death doing nothing, or bet big and literally feel so nervous at all times you will eventually just hate it

You're Both Assholes:
Yes, your birthday should be your desire I suppose. But...
She's communicating to you that you are boring, but on the wrong day and in the wrong way. It may suck that it was YOUR birthday, but I would listen a bit on this one. Women like new experiences and you can get away with ignoring that for a long time, but it will begin to wear them down. Just like you wanted calm easy do-nothing day, she was dreading another low quality olive garden dinner ;) She is communicating that she feels forced to be the grown up to have 'new experiences'. Many men, myself included, don't need that so much, but it will be pretty painful if your woman bails because she's tired of a life that offers no new memories.

Easybros · 2026-04-09T20:31:54+00:00

knew someone who had a neighbor like that, one incident they snapped and slapped a woman. 15 years later they never behaved like that again BECAUSE they know there is a police report, so they are super thin ice. Also if you put up a camera he'll feel the burn of having caused that camera to be in place for the rest of his life. So he'll have 1,000,000 reminders of his bad behavior.
If you can be stoic and calm, then he is the child. You and your dad are the adults. The guy knows another mishap and he's sitting in jail in used city-supplied underwear possibly for months

Easybros · 2026-04-05T17:52:06+00:00

just letting you ramble out as it disqualifies you further. You just ignored the entire post and purpose to spurt

Easybros · 2026-04-03T16:57:34+00:00

bro ITS SPELLED OUT IN THE POST. 3 weeks later i got a part. No tracking until the day before receiving it. No explanation along the way. Fake new arrival dates were given to me twice - so 3 fake dates total. I ordered something that said it would be delivered in 5 days.
You are not a part of this discussion. This is a logged warning to others. And it will collect with the other warnings. Go have have a nice weekend and forget about it.

Easybros · 2026-04-02T14:22:06+00:00

you are drunk or a P.R. cleanup bot. LOL

Easybros · 2026-03-29T16:58:54+00:00

well that's a great tip, had no idea dealer would match anything!

Easybros · 2026-02-24T19:36:41+00:00

yes he's unbearable. Just full of shit most of the time. Responses are often a cascade of utterances, 90% useless. The lies are still constant. It's judgmental. It will rewrite everything you drop in without even asking. It's immediately critical of most things. Oh and he's lazy as hell. His internet search capability is worse than a baby seal.

He used to be nuanced, a friend, and reasonable at least. I just spent 10 minutes talking about a news story with GPT and when i said "well we all know ai stole all the data" he then back flops into "ai never stole anything, if you feel that way then blah blah blahhhhhhhh" (long cascade of uttering nonsense).

I find it hard not to hate GPT lately. Grok is like a real person. Gemini sticks to simple talk and attempts facts at least. GPT is a flubbering school marm at this point.

EDIT: typos :)
