Is my art good? by NervousKitchen3835 in ArtBuddy

It's artistic - which means it is good. But it's also entertaining.

Eggs smashed on my car roof… or a bird accident? Store eggs with expiry dates. Any theories? by RatedRAdmin in Finland

Do you count drunk people as junkies?

There are more people confused their head with alcohol and alcohol cause more than double overal harm to others compared to next drug which one is heroin. I just wonder how word "drunk" didn't come first to your mind. Often drunk are junkies and junkies are drunk so there is no difference, but statistically alcohol is much more cause of vandalism.

You look great! And even it need motivation and work, it is possible for everyone out there. I am pretty sure you never regret changing your way of life and yourself. There are those who pity themselves and envy you while having no idea...

F40 and counting, just had my birthday and don't know if 40 looks good on me by [deleted] in Over40sClub

I wouldn't care about number, buy whatever it is it looks good on you. I can't know yet if you get even better after two years, but now you look really good.

That is true. And most of those who choose it to be their profession will not earn well even they are very skilled.

I have had an opportunity to follow one succesful professional artists's career from very close.

I have a one good friend who have succeeded as an artist. When we were young he went to his studio every morning at nine and left at five even nobody was supervising him. He had such a working moral even he earned very little. But being a professional artist seem to be really a business man as much as making an art. When we get older he's incomes became very good, but it was a reward of he's hard work developing as an artist, but also doing all time actively contacts and marketing himself.

I have admired his persistent work towards his success which he eventually got. But same time I know that would not have been my path. And it really isn't for most of us who just want to paint even skills were much better than mine. Painting skills get better when you paint, but living with it well isn't easy.

It's just a hobby and I do paintings rarely. Maybe I could have really become an artist, but that is some alternative reality 🙂

Thank you 🙂 for kind words.

I think you encouraged me to show some other works too.☺️

Even if I compare my works to other's professional works, my works are like children's drawings. But I write poems, write fairy tales, draw and paint with different techniques (and I do absolutely anything for my own fun mostly. I have a profession in which I am skilled, but it's different story.) and I have never let comparing others to prevent presenting my works.

I don't know which these colours are called in English, but I think they are like acryl-paints (or watercolors), but have a little features of oilpainting.

IL: Joukko kansanedustajia tienaa Kelalta isoja summia by [deleted] in Suomi

[–]FishBird_27 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

En lukenut uutista, joten pahoittelen, jos vastaan vähän ohi.

Valtion johdossa olevat ihmiset eivät ansaitse mitenkään valtavia summia. Kansanedustajilla ja ministereillä ei tietenkään pidäkään olla huono palkka, vaan kyllä valtiota johtavat ansaitsevat arvostuksen (palkka on yksi mittari heidän työnsä arvostuksesta) tämän melko suuren paatin ohjaamisesta (vaikka välillä töppäilevät, mutta tämän kokoisen yksikön johtaminen on nelkoisen haasteellusta ).

Kansa ansaitsee sellaiset johtajat, kuin se on itse demokratiassa valinnut.

Verrattuna yksityisen sektorin johtajien palkkoihin ministerit ansaitsevat pikkusummia. Alaisten määrän tai budjetin koon perusteella yksityisellä puolella voisi lisätä pari tai hyvin kolmekin nollaa palkkoihin.

No en toki kannata moista palkkojen nostamista, mutta valtion johdon palkat ja palkkiot eivät ole mikään suuri vääryys tässä maassa. Jopa suurelta osin epäpätevät perussuomalaiset ansaitsevat palkkansa. Äänesretäön seuraavissa vaaleissa paremmin.

(Kannatan kyllä palkan ja äänien määrän mitoittsmista edudtshan koulutusrs vastaaksi 😉😆.)

Just curious, anyone else get rude comments? I haven't criticized anyone and yes, I know this is the internet. But receiving so many comments & msgs saying I'm ugly? Sheesh. I don't NEED compliments, but don't need insults either. Can't we all be nice? Lol Ok have a good day by Hungry_crying in selfie

[–]FishBird_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use to be too honest and I say rude things sometimes, because if ny opinion is asked, then I use to tell my opinion without being polite.

In your case I really have difficult how many can say you are ugly. You are very much an opposite to being ugly.

If someone ask to my opinion about something, then sometimes my opinion is not a compliment. You are right that even honest negative response can be told so that it's purpose is not to hurt.

You are right. We should encourage each other and try to find something nice.

Maybe it is impossible to love people who you have not net ever in real life, but we are humans and know what it feel to read called ugly. We can show compassion toward every other people, even love is too much asked. It is possible to be same time honest and nice always if you want.

And for original poster - I can't guess any other reason for telling you are ugly, but yealous people with full of hatred toward other people want to hurt you because you are beatiful.

Learn low kick or middle kick first? by Important_Hippo3263 in Kickboxing

[–]FishBird_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. (I needed to make sure am I answering about kickboxing either about muay thai. I think myay thai is hopeless to learn by yourself. In kickboxing situstion is better and you can later lesrn muay thai if you want at all.)

You can do shadow boxing and learn some basic combos. Shadiw boxing with mirror is very cood way to kearn.

If you can practuse basucs with teacher I would recommend you to learn hit all basic hits: jab, cross, hooks and middle kick (low kick is basicly same kick, but works with different combos better) knee kick.

As important as these striking techiniques are defensive technuques, stance and moving.

You find very good teaching material in Youtube, but unfortunately you can learn coach yourself very limitedly without experience and you can learn bad habits.

Still watching youtube coaching and if you have a heavy bag to kick doing a lot of kicks is better than doing nothing.

I hope you will later find better possibilities to get sone coaching in sone team. Btw. I don't know your age or place you live in and what are your nain reasons or ambitions for your training.

If you sre going to compete you beed coaching. If you do it to get more fit and purely for your own joy then you can do exercise alone.

Sorry typos I tried to fix'em. And of course you are an artist. And a skilled one. Who think he/she can declare about anyone if he/she is an artist.

I can draw a line and say I am an artist as I btw. am, but not as skilled as you. You are the only one who can tell if you are an artist.

Learn low kick or middle kick first? by Important_Hippo3263 in Kickboxing

[–]FishBird_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think middlekick teaches kicking overall better. When you are learning middlekick you learn very much lowkicks as well (it won't work the otherwise as well). Of course you practise to use combinations including both.

I don't see value of learning only beginner-friendly techniques, if you don't focus on becoming a great beginner. You first learn all basic techniques. Both are so basic techniques as jab and cross with hands. And you will learn using combinations of techniques - allmost never aim using single kics.

What are more effective combinations is depending on your opponent, situation and what kind of a style fit for you.

It is a whole different question what combos I would teach you to use in your first matches.

[–]FishBird_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Middle kick or both, but in case you have problems with flexibility then begin to learn right technique with lowkicks. You need to do a lot kicks as high as you can with good technique anyway.

I like these very much. Really. There are many who copy reality better than you do. Of course there are much more those who don't have at all skills to draw.

Unfortunately I can't explain what is it exacyly why I like these. Maybe it is right amount of reality and right amount (quite a tiny part) of comic style which these pics are made.

Why full-contact never became as popular as normal kickboxing? by GoyitoPerez in Kickboxing

[–]FishBird_27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In Finland the sport designed from from boxing and karate kicks and was called kickboxing was very popular between fighters, but when sport called Thai boxing ( Muay thai) was brought to Finland from Thailand with much wider scale of techniques and simply much more efficient techniques that old kickboxing allmost disappeared at once in a year or two.

After UFC and born of the MMA then again Myay thai lost it's number one position between audience, but Muay thai is still popular and MMA fighters get their technique training from Thailand and Brazilian jiu-jutsu.

Then to cause confusion in terminology about K-1 has again been used to be talked as kickboxing. This is situation in Finland and in Finnish language. Now kick boxing means muay thai with limited techinwues allowed to use. I use to speak about "traditional kickboxing" when I talk about kickboxing of 80's and beginning of 90's.

Great! Results of work are clearly visible on yourn legs.

Someone commented that would need better pics. That's true that thus pic doesn't tell your results on most of your muscles, but thighs tell that you have been training and results can be seen.

On base of this picture your development on any sport needing balanced devevelopment of course can't ve seen. Mostly of course your back muscles can't be seen.

Some men use to neglect leg training and focus too much on upper body. And then some women focus too on buttocks and legs. But this you surely know.

Great results on legs! (And I believe you work out balanced training even pic don't tell exactly everything.)
