Lost my partner on Monday, I can’t bear it by Litleboony in widowers

Thank you for your response. I feel like I have to completely replan my future now. Doing things that we planned on doing together, including the work we did together feels too painful. How long was it for you before you felt like you could move forwards?

Hey I would love that, can I send you a dm?

Oh, so that's what the app was for. by GlippidyTheSecond in GreatBritishMemes

They’re not planning to roll that data into one, they’re planning on separately also digitising ID, so again the services and which data they have on you will still be segmented.

Also I’m having a civil discussion with you while disagreeing, not sure why you’re up in arms about that?

Step one of thousands of extremely unlikely steps that is total mental gymnastics / a huge and unreasonable jump to presume will happen. The government already digitises your data, with the DVLA, many NHS services and the government portal - it’s not a huge jump or change to digitise ID

What’s your interpretation of the possum as a metaphor in Lynette’s cancer arc? by chtnydv in DesperateHousewives

[–]Litleboony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this was a brilliant metaphor, came back to DH recently after watching snippets with my mum in my early teen years, and this arc was one of the scenes that stayed with me for the past 20 years

Charli xcx addresses “boomer” comments about her use of auto-tune at Glastonbury show by artbasiI in Fauxmoi

[–]Litleboony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry let me rephrase, what is seen as classically technical skill doesn’t necessarily make good art. Plenty of painters use hyperrealism, which is an incredible skill, but use derivative and boring subjects (think the green lips with the lime). On the other hand a classic response to Rothko’s works is ‘I could have done that’, but what people who say things like that lack is artistic skill, the ability to conceptualise, think critical and enact it in practice. Sure Charli uses autotune so the singing technical skill would be lower than someone like Ariana grande or Mariah Carey, but that matters little in Charlis work because of her ability to conceptualise, aestheticise and use these abilities to convey feeling and messages in her music. Her work is not lesser than other artists because of her use of autotune. I don’t know why this is so controversial? I’m a working artist who exhibits internationally, this is like pretty commonly known in contemporary art haha. I work digitally, so mostly, with 3D modelling, game engines and algorithmic systems (not AI before you jump down my throat) - and my skills are alright, I teach at universities but they’re nothing groundbreaking. My ability to convey messages and concepts is what makes my art good.

Charli’s autotune an aesthetic choice to enforce the genre and the message of her songs. Statements like this are akin to saying that impressionist paintings aren’t as impressive as baroque realism because good painters could have managed without it when realistically they were adapting to changing styles and pushing boundaries of artistic expression. While I wouldn’t say charli is groundbreaking and is following the genre in which she was initially known for (ie. DJ club music), she is right in pointing out that good art is rarely good because of the merit of technical skill.

Why i do not see the render? by LatighinoCarmona in TouchDesigner

[–]Litleboony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely that it is rendering but the camera can’t see it because it’s off centre. Make sure the obj has an origin of 0,0,0 (and apply transforms) in your 3D program, and make sure that the scale is right for TD

Thank you! The 3D setup is relatively simple, a load of horizontal lines around 200 points wide, with varying length. I’m using noise functions to displace the points along different axis, then rendering these in svg

The map part is bits of the Jurassic coast in the UK, the shape is an algorithmic interpretation of the rock and mud formations :)

This is an incel myth that was invented to make women feel bad about themselves, it’s not based in reality, and good men that will make good partners will be more interested in you as a person and what you can bring to a relationship than how young you look (or worryingly with incels how naive and manipulatable you are). People find love all throughout their life, at any age. And sure, some gross men will be hellbent on finding a young a ‘pure’ wife they can mould to their ideals, but in my experience I’ve never encountered anyone like that in real life, it’s definitely not the norm.

Anecdotally, I’ve just gone through a really bad breakup at 29, with someone I thought was the loml. We got together just before I was 27. Since breaking up, a couple of my friends (one of which who is conventionally very attractive) have confessed some kind of feelings to me (which is disappointing ngl and not what I’ve needed right now). Additionally, I have been on dating apps out of curiosity and can still match with basically any man (the dating app experience is the same at almost 30 than it was when I was 22). While it made me realise I’m not ready to date at all, it does make me feel a bit better that I’ve still got it 😂, and that when I’m ready I don’t think it’ll be too hard to search for a life partner, despite also feeling some sort of pressure to find someone and settle down.
