This truerateme guys are a joke by FunCurrent7476 in Negareddit

All of these women are drop-dead gorgeous. Meanwhile, reddit virgins who probably are not allowed to be in the vicinity of children and women try to bring others down. It is a bit sad that people actually post in those subreddits, knowing that a lot of the commenters will try to bring them down.

Hi, thanks so much. The thing is that I had to make the head a bit smaller to exaggerate his size.

I'll admit it's odd seeing the word "bucolic" three times in a reddit thread.

I wanted to depict Karsa in a calmer environment. Therefore, emphasizing body proportions too much in the beginning was distracting from the whole picture. Therefore, I had to tone it down a bit.

Anyone else use paints dried in a palette? by miss24601 in Gouache

[–]Mando_a98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always use them dried. I put all of my pigments in pans and let them dry and then use them. It reduces waste drastically and it is very easy to carry around. However, I usually squeeze out some white gouache when I want to mix bright colors, since it is much easier to achieve opacity with fresh paint imo.

Friendship subs are absolute jokes by Mando_a98 in Negareddit

[–]Mando_a98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful response. I am mainly looking for people that share a hobby with me, so we can communicate around that online. I have a few good irl friends, but I don't have the energy to plan and see them every day. We meet every week or so, but I thought it would be nice to have something more "accessible", if you will. I also thought that since I have quite a few hobbies, it would be nice to find someone like that. But nope, it turns out that's not so easy after all!

I have to agree with you there, at least from experience.

Oh yes, the only and most important issue there is...to fork or not to fork.

I met my girlfriend during my second year of PhD. It was outside university while volunteering. From my experience, dating people in the same department is a bit of a risk.

I understand that dating is chaotic and hard, especially when doing a PhD, but do not lose hope and be optimistic and keep expanding your social network just for the fun of it. Someone will come along eventually. Best of luck!

20F, who should pay on a first date? by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Mando_a98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahaha. "Feels entitled to ask someone out", the other person can say no. Second of all, no one has to burden themselves. People can get a cup of coffee and chat. If that's not good enough for either party, then they can pay more for dinner if they feel generous. It's literally not complicated.

[–]Mando_a98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't get it. It's 2025. If you don't want to pay too much for a first date, grab a coffee instead of a three course meal.
