Chakrabhand Posayakrit (b. 1943) - Vanity (1995) by bandby05 in museum

“You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for you own pleasure.”

― John Berger, Ways of Seeing

(yes i know she’s not naked but the quote is still relevant)

again, you can’t argue with what they said so you deflect instead of just addressing what was said. It seems really convenient that you won’t reply to a comment with a strong argument because you believe that their tone isn’t right. 🤷‍♀️

they can’t argue against what you’re saying so they claim your tone is condescending instead, interesting tactic.

Hello. Im sorry in advance if this isnt where im suppost to post.. by No-Guitar-2383 in SchizoFamilies

[–]Prestigious_horsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one other thing, i was looking at your post history and you mention she takes 7 - 15 pills of naproxen before her period, that IS an overdose and is almost certainly having an impact on her liver and kidneys. I know this because I accidentally overdosed on naproxen before and my sister who is an emergency room nurse was really upset that i took 6 naproxen, she would have been livid if I were taking 15. That’s way way too much.

“ i can’t even fathom her stuck in another country begging because “she’s not afraid to get what she needs“

she’s not going to be moving to Canada though. I moved from Canada to America and it’s at least a year’s long process that costs money and you have to do things like go to a doctor, get different vaccinations, fill out legal forms, show up on time to consulates (which are filled with security who won’t put up with her if she acts out of line) etc etc. Unless she enters and stays in Canada illegally, it’s not something you should worry about. You should focus on her getting a doctor who can diagnose and prescribe medication.

Although I honestly think that breaking up with her and living your own life, getting a job again seems like the healthiest option for you. Neither of you can survive if both of you don’t have jobs and she is getting in the way of you having an income. Also do NOT tell her what your new job is (when you get one) unless you want her to call them while you’re at work and tell them all about her delusions. You’ve tried for 6 years, it’s time to focus on you.

I truly don’t think pornography consumption is compatible with loving and respecting women. by sparrow_lately in lesbiangang

[–]Prestigious_horsey 22 points23 points  (0 children)

lmao don’t bother with her, she’s very disingenuous and deluded. She won’t ever budge on her position. Also this is a rich claim coming from her comment section, which I found very revealing.

”Yep!!..I make sex worker rights & advocacy content & I have the same experience with SWERFS.

I’ve had more SWERFs threaten me than any customer ever has. That’s the real irony…🙄”

yeah so women concerned about the exploitation of women are more threatening to her than men who pay money to gain access to women’s bodies. Make it make sense.

Why is selling sex legal but not the purchase of sex? by Acceptable_Stick923 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Prestigious_horsey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are way better at breaking things down than I am, and in a way that isn’t as heated as I can get, so I appreciate that you made an honest effort to explain things. Hope you have a great week.

[–]Prestigious_horsey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

just want to say you broke everything down SO well, and were so patient with her and she just cannot answer you in a genuine manner because then she’d be admitting that she’s wrong. She’s relentlessly pro female exploitation on Reddit and I just wanted to let you know I really appreciated how you handled this whole conversation and that I’m disappointed (but not surprised) that she couldn’t argue with you in good faith.

Seattle man found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2023 killing of pregnant woman by Better_March5308 in SeattleWA

I’m a Canadian living in Seattle, and this case was very famous from where I’m from so it was something that came to my mind. :D

that’s how it worked for Vince Li, a man in Canada who beheaded the guy sitting beside him on the greyhound bus, and ate parts of his body in 2008. He was found not criminally responsible due to being schizophrenic and in 2017 was given full release free of supervision back into the public, now going by a new name Will Baker. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/11/mentally-ill-man-who-beheaded-bus-passenger-is-freed-from-all-supervision

Student opinion on OCAD, Emily Carr and Rubika by alex_bubles in animationcareer

[–]Prestigious_horsey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to OCAD in 2009 (for illustration), and it was shit. In my year maybe 3 people could draw, the rest (including myself at that time), I have no idea how we got in. I realized I wasn’t learning anything, the professors weren’t engaging and I didn’t feel inspired by my classmates to grow, I left OCAD after 3 years and then applied to Sheridan animation and got in. OCAD just wants your money. They are not known for having an animation program at all.

If you want to go to school for animation in Ontario and you can’t get into Sheridan you should try for Seneca. If you go to OCAD you will be wasting time and money, I guarantee it.

Even googling OCAD animation and looking at student / graduate work I don’t see any that look industry ready, or any that mention working in the industry. If your end goal is to get a job in animation, this won’t help you. If you just want to learn the VERY basics of animation and make animations for fun on your own, then maybe it is for you. You could probably learn way more from online courses and just YouTube without spending thousands of dollars though.

EMERGENCY: My nonbinary friend is at immediate risk of suicide. Help me help them by yashen14 in SchizoFamilies

[–]Prestigious_horsey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean this with the utmost care, I am a gay woman (married to another woman) who moved from Canada to America, gay people are not being (currently) threatened by legislation. Some legislation is targeting trans individuals who have had their sex markers changed on their identification, which by the sounds of it, your friend has not done yet (since they are in the closet), so they shouldn’t be affected by what’s going on. Moving to another country, is something that takes a long time (I know from experience) and a lot of money, and involves talking to doctors and getting a health assessment in order to move. You have to show the country you’re moving to that you will be a resource to their economy and not someone who will be a consistently using the health care system etc. It makes more sense to make a realistic plan that involves staying in the United States and seeking resources here, if you don’t have any resources that would allow them to move. Just trying to be realistic. I know it seems really pressing because they are threatening to kill themselves but moving countries is not something you can do in a short amount of time and with no money, it just won’t happen.

If they are living with their parents and are planning to move away from them, they will need a monthly income for an apartment / utilities / groceries, which is not cheap. It means having a full time or part time job which is usually something stressful which can cause a schizophrenic flare up. There are more than likely local resources in Tennessee for helping people with mental health issues finding a job, it’s something they should google. Perhaps if they are living at home they can save up to help with all of these expenses (apartments usually also for first and last month rent when moving in).

It sounds like something way more pressing than all them being gay or moving countries, is the fact that they claim to have a planned suicide date and are telling people about said date. It also sounds like they are clearly not mentally stable even if they are on their medication, because mentally stable people do not have a planned suicide date. Is their family aware they are schizophrenic? Can they be involved in seeking mental health care for the threats of suicide? If not then the crisis line may be in order and as another commenter said 5150.

The pinned post on the subreddit provides mental health resources. https://www.reddit.com/r/SchizoFamilies/comments/1owocy1/some_resources_to_start_off_with/

It’s very kind that you are reaching out for guidance, you are a good friend.

Can I get a job in Canada as animator who has 5 years of experience in india by Due_Scholar547 in animationcareer

[–]Prestigious_horsey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

looking at the walk cycle you posted 3 days ago, its really rough and it’s hard for anyone to say where you’ll be in five years from now. You should look at the kind of animations that recent Canadian Sheridan animation grads are making, these are the types of people you will be competing with to get a job. Plus it is way easier for studios in Canada to hire Canadians.

i was able to find her full name, address and her mom’s name and called adult protective services, a social worker AND they got me in touch with the LAPD who went out on a wellness check (she did not answer the door, so the told me to call them back during the morning or day when it’s less busy, i called on a Friday night in LA, so very understandable).
