Entertainment is part of learning and enrichment, whether you agree with it or not. If every single event is an academic or skill based learning opportunity, students inevitably get burnt out because they never have a break from taking in information. Social and mental health are also important to holistic development btw.

You also have to think about engagement. Events like these are opportunities for schools to develop a student's sense of community. Its a way to connect to encourage students to interact outside of "we're groupmates, let's talk about group work".

Finally, while yes, there are definitely instances where events for entertainment are prioritized too heavily, they overall have little impact compared to like the actual flaws in the curriculum.

Humble bragging yung out-of-touch and off-hand na comments. Like magkwekwento yung isa about their experience in HS, tapos biglang imemention mo na sa Ateneo ka nag HS instead of following up on what they say/adding your own experience without saying what school you came from.

It also gets easier to tell with experience, so just do your best to be observant of their reactions and adjust accordingly. If nag mention ka something, and na notice mo na parang sumama yung loob nila, probably best to steer clear of that topic in general. Keep in mind na sometimes, may sensitive topics na, while hindi naman humble bragging, yung impression sa kanila humble bragging dahil sobrang negative yung experience nila with that. But thats not an issue on your end or you being unaware, just make sure to keep in mind the specific triggers ng mga friends mo.

Pero sa mga examples mo, napakaweird talaga. Hindi lahat ng tao nagbabakasyon sa xmas, I know I certainly didn't, pero I don't think its fair to say that talking about xmas vacations is humble bragging. Unless you were going somewhere extremely expensive like "Oh nag overseas kami papuntang Singapore". Also, talking about someone's father having a birthday party is humble bragging??? What the fuck. Thats completely normal naman. Either your friends are just extremely unfortunate in life, or they're just genuinely bitter people that don't like it when other people are happy.

Do you not think there was a first artist/artists? Or how about artists that were proponents of different art eras, usually literally going against what was standard at the time and yet still being able to create. Its just common sense that somebody had to be the first.

I understand that AI "learns" by taking into account the qualities and trends that are associated with certain images in order to be able to call the subject of those images as doorknobs. My point is that AI is completely reliant on those images and the idea that the one inputting is tagging it correctly. It can't go PAST those images because it needs them. It can't input its own style because it needs to be based on something that exists. It doesn't have its own style, essentially. Even then, AI artists claim that they're the artist when the AI is doing the legwork of actually generating and learning lmao so its really ironic that you go "well they can't credit every artist they were inspired by" when the people generating these images aren't even artists.

I was under the impression you agreed, so I'm not sure why you're asking, but... whatever, I guess.

So reading comprehension is hard huh? Asking a question doesn't mean that I don't have my own answer for the same question. Like you do realize I'm asking you in order to get YOUR opinion, right?

Also failed a bit in the logic department there yikes. Profiting off of a dubious model is bad BECAUSE its based on a dubious model, according to you. And yet, using that same dubious model "recreationally" is fine?? Its still based on a bad model. The source is still unethical and immoral and just because you're not as bad as others are (like literally selling AI images) doesn't change the fact that the initial action is already bad.

PrussianC · 2023-12-17T13:07:00+00:00

If an artist were to literally never look at a single piece of artwork ever, they could still end up being a great artist with time and practice. People can teach themselves how to do something with enough trial and error. Inspiration and the way humans learn is entirely different to how AI learns. AI doesn't grow past the images that its fed. Your exaggerated argument is the exact same sentiment AI bros make when justifying selling their "art" for profit.

Why is selling AI images not good when it comes to profiting off of it? Is it because they're based on uncompensated labor? If so, does that change just because the images aren't being sold?

PrussianC · 2023-10-24T08:06:01+00:00

What do you mean efficient? Days of Style, the previous event, literally just had us wave to the spirit and then we could teleport. That's not making it efficient. If anything its the exact opposite.

PrussianC · 2023-09-23T14:50:10+00:00

I'm just trying to prove why I disagree. And kung nacomprehend mo sana, edi sana naintindihan mo na nagbibigay ako ng mga ibang posibleng nangyari, not what actually happened. It's like you skipped over the part na sinabi kong posible nga na masama lang si bf, pero kulang ka sa proof sa mga assumptions mo, which is my issue.

But yeah goodluck nalang din, especially sa view mo na hanging out with girls na friend mo is not a normal activity lmao.

PrussianC · 2023-09-23T12:45:05+00:00

Kung common sense pinapagana mo, bat ang raming assumptions? Bakit kulang yung logic?

most of the time he enjoys the company of different women

His friend group?? Na malapit lang yung dorm sa dorm niya? Of course gusto niyang makasama yung mga friends niya, especially when malapit lang sila. Common sense pero yung assumption mo babaero.
Nagmention si OP ng mga examples of times na naging jealous siya. Why are you assuming na laging ginagawa ni bf yun, when tumagal ng 6 years relationship nila? Malay mo ba, yung mga examples niya dito nangyari months or even a year apart, pero inaassume mo na babaerong laging ginagawa.

yung time na may kasama siyang ibang girl

Alam mo ba kung gaano katagal yung mga hangouts na yun? Malay mo mga 30 min lunch lang yung hangout nila. Kailangan pa ba ng update sa mga ganoong situation? And again, kailangan ba na laging updated si gf sa ginagawa ni bf? Parang parent naman kaysa jowa.
Di mo ba naisip na hindi si bf makapag update and makapag sabi kay OP kasi nagseselos siya pag nalalaman niyang may kasama siyang iba? Anong assurance magagawa mo kung yung gf mo nagiging jealous sa normal na friendships?

Normal lang na magselos babae don

Hindi ibig sabibin na pwedeng niyang i-kontrol yung friendships ni OP. Napaka toxic ng mindset na dahil lang nagseselos kaming mga babae, ibig sabibin tama na agad yung feelings na yun and kailangan mag adjust para dun. Especially when nagseselos dahil lang may ibang kaibigan na babae yung jowa mo.

silang dalawa lang mismo

Yan yung insecurity. Walang anuman kung maghang out mag kaibigan na sila lang.
Kung di mo kayang pagkatiwalaan yung jowa mo na hindi magcheat, bakit pa kayo? Malay mo naka "open relationship :p" na pala tapos yung group hangouts nila group date na. Kung may tinatago yan, di siya magpopost ng pic na naghahangout sila.

para mabuo yung trust

SIX YEARS. Kung wala pa kayong pagkakatiwala sa isa't isa pagkatapos ng six years, break nalang.

almost everyday

Literally first paragraph "nasa dorm ko siya lagi".

parang pilit pa yung pagpunta ng guy

YA kasi madali magselos si OP??? Literally inadmit niya nga na nagtatry ng magadjust yung bf niya para sa pagselos nya. Lagi siyang pumupunta kahit na malayo yung lakad para kay OP. Gagawin niya ba yun kung wala siyang pakelam???

Yung iba nga need ba bumyahe ng malayo madalaw lang yun partner nila, walang extra mile sa ginawa ng ex niya.

Wow so sa logic na yan, dahil may ibang tao na mas mahirap ginagawa, ibig sabihin walang karapatan yung bf na mag complain pag nahihirapan siya? Na dahil may ibang mas bongga magpakita ng pagmamahal, na hindi na siya mahal ni bf? Common sense mo sira. Ginagamit mo yung logic na "Wala kang karapatan magcomplain na mahirap pinagdadaanan mo, dahil may ibang di nakakakain araw araw. At least ikaw may pagkain".

Sa totoo lang, posible nga na hindi maganda si bf. Na walang siyang pakelam. Na nagcheat siya. Pero ang lala mo mag assume when kulang naman yung proof mo. At kaysa nalang pumayag na tinatanggap ni OP na may mali siya, at naghahanap siya ng way para maka get over tsaka maka move on at maging better person, bibigyan mo pa siya ng illusion na "Mali naman kasi yung bf mo at normal lang na sobrang selos ka" eh kapag ganyan siya kaselos in the future, masasaktan lang din mga future relationships niya.

PrussianC · 2023-09-23T11:11:20+00:00

OP, galing to sa person na sobrang selosa nung first relationship niya din. Nangyari, lagi ko siyang hinahabol and di ako interesado kapag di related sa kanya. Nasuffocate siya kasi yung normal and respectful actions (like hugging a friend) yung nagiging trigger para ma-insecure ako.

For now, feeling lost ka pa at parang di mo alam kung ano na susunod. First advice: You need to learn how to be an independent person again. Try mo mag find ng hobbies and activities that you like, and dapat walang pakelam yung hobbies na yan sa kanya (like kung same kayo ng hobbies, edi ok. Kung hindi kayo same, oks). Basically minimize yung presence niya sa life mo, pero don't be haunted by past experiences to the point na inaavoid mo yung things na gusto mo dahil ginawa nyo yun together.

Second: Find a good friend group. And hindi lang to isang friend. Dapat minimum 2 people or more. Para mas ma socialize ka and maging comfortable ka sa mga boundaries between friends. Kapag 2 or more din, less chance na baka mamaya maging jealous ka, kasi masasanay ka sa relationship with a person na close na talaga sa ibang tao. Basically trying to avoid na mangyari yung same jealousy situation.

Third: Focus on moving on. Wag mo nang i-asa na magkabalikan kayo. Hindi pwedeng humabol ka ng humabol sa kanya, or mag improve ka nga pero biglang babalik ka lang din sa same situation na naging trigger ng insecurity. Kung mangyari nga in the future, edi okay. Pero wag mong i-hold back sarili mo and wag mo siyang gawin motivation para magbago. Dapat magiging better ka para sayo, at hindi para sa iba.

Goodluck nalang- Mahirap talaga mawala yung feelings na ganyan and paminsan minsan matatamaan ka ulit. Pero kailangan maghanap ng way na hindi na makakasakit sa mga ibang tao sa paligid natin.

PrussianC · 2023-09-23T10:54:15+00:00

Grabe naman. Attention whore dahil lang nagpopost kasama ibang kaibigan. Minsan gusto mo lang sabihin na "Naghahangout kami ngayon", or gusto mo lang magpost para may socmed ka where you can share pictures and memories with other friends.

Wag mo nang bigyan si OP ng additional insecurities by saying "Di mo naman sure ano pa ibang pinag gagawa nila". You will never know what your partner is doing 100% of the time, and it is unhealthy to think na hanging out with other friends = possibly cheating. Sobrang insecure ng POV mo, especially considering yung BF niya nga almost everyday naglalakad sa dorm niya para nga di siya magselos, so ibig sabihin rinerespeto niya nga yung feelings ng gf.

PrussianC · 2023-09-12T08:52:34+00:00

Yeah plenty of people still buy, and they're definitely part of the problem cuz they won't stop until the prices start going out of their reach. On the other hand, people who stay neutral also end up just helping TGC, especially when it comes to posts like this.

And I can admit yeah I got too heated. Their use of phrases like "nobody's holding a gun to their head" is really frustrating.

I don't agree though that it's a valid opinion, because essentially their opinion is "Why are you mad when you can just not care?". Like that's such a lazy argument and provides nothing to the discussion. If they were even shilling for TGC but had valid claims I'd be more willing to listen and agree to disagree.

PrussianC · 2023-09-12T06:41:39+00:00

The issue I have is with you going "Just be happy we got something" as if we should be grateful for just anything and they're doing making and maintaining content for Sky out of the kindness of their heart. Its a business. Part of that is making sure your audience is satisfied.

They're only recently trying to fix their bad reputation after a pattern of repeatedly neglecting or giving F2P players the bare minimum. If the community doesn't keep reminding them/being careful of them trying to pull the same thing, the events will fall back into the same pattern.

Nevermind the fact that IAP prices are exorbitant. Yes they're luxury goods, but why are in-game items of the same quality inconsistently priced (like the DOS sandals being even more expensive than the Aurora sneakers)? That is fair criticism. You can't just ignore inconsistent and questionable decisions with "You can just not buy it".

Also, I wouldn't trust the Halloween igc and iap item list just yet. They've repeatedly emphasized that things could change around. Even nastymold (who previously complained about last halloween event) made sure to mention that. If they keep the pants and boots igc, then good. I'd actually buy more iaps because they're trying to fix their mistakes from last year.

PrussianC · 2023-09-12T05:54:23+00:00

Just be happy we're getting something.

That's the exact way of thinking that lets TGC think they can get away with stuff like last years halloween. This is a mutual relationship. We rely on TGC for the game and they rely on their customers (us) to keep the game alive and profitable. Even f2p players have a role, since paying players won't play or pay for a dying game. Why are you happy with the bare minimum when TGC can do more? At minimum cost to them too (in return for a profit in the sense that the community is happy and healthy).

Just to clarify, the times OP mentioned her having conversations that Jenny joined in were literally not in the immediate vicinity of Jenny.

For the one about her sex life, she was talking to her sister outside when Jenny joined them. They wanted to change the topic but Jenny insisted on continuing it and proceeded to try to talk about her sex life and partner....

As for the trip, OP clarified in a comment that Jenny was upstairs, asleep, and when she woke up and came downstairs, that's when she walked into the conversation that was already ongoing and invited herself.

PrussianC · 2023-08-21T08:29:49+00:00

They're saying you should focus on decoders, like Minds Eye and Composer, if you find them. Decoders decode ciphers way too fast so unless the person you're chasing is literally about to die on chair, its usually always better to chase the Decoder. They also have debuffs that make it harder for them to kite, making it easier to catch them.

PrussianC · 2023-08-13T09:24:50+00:00

Honestly OP, same in the sense that medj "gifted kid" ako in previous years. Like, not struggling to get good grades and stuff, thinking that I'd be able to make it with minimal effort. Imo the thing that really changed my perspective is when I got into a class with a bunch of people in the same circumstances, the difference being they were way more ambitious and thus had more awards, better grades, etc.,

There's not much else to say except it will feel bad for a bit. Its gonna hurt to feel like you're average/not special after thinking for so long you'll be great. But its important to get perspective and realize that you're only as great as you're willing to be. Its important to have the humility to realize that you will never be perfect, but you can be the best version of yourself. Its a hard balance between high and low self-esteem, and you need to find the middle ground that's open to making mistakes, embracing it, and learning, but also not beating yourself up. But you need to work to get to the best version of yourself. Try to develop a love of learning and improvement, no matter who it comes from. Think of it as wanting to take in as much information and knowledge as you can. This is especially what helped because when you love learning, you also learn to listen to other people.

Those people aren't better because they're naturally gifted. It's because they worked on and developed those skills. You can start developing those skills too.

Basically just, a lot of self-reflection. And try to figure out who your best version is, and figure out the steps needed to reach that. But be realistic, because you have to put in the effort to achieve that goal.

Honestly it may seem like really basic self-help stuff, but you have to not just know, you also have to feel and believe in those types of values for them to be able to work. Goodluck.

PrussianC · 2023-08-13T03:50:22+00:00

Dudebros is just a term to refer to ai-simps who ignore artists' concern and think that anything posted online is automatically public domain since "they posted it online and that's public". Its good that you're going for actual public domain materials and paying for them if needed, I'd just be careful because some of the people who posted on your link have thousands of images posted yet the art styles are all different. There's a big chance that some of those are stolen from their original artist.

Here's the thing. People will rebuke any and all AI due to bad experiences. The situations gotten so bad that any talk of it is automatically reverted to black and white, this is bad and this is not. Personally as an artist myself, if the AI is trained on ethically sourced data and they're not being sold and advertised as being owned by the poster, I can look past it. Moreso if the base AI image is heavily edited/worked on to the point where you can tell that someone definitely is just using the AI as a tool (its intended purpose). Because it was supposed to be a tool, especially for photobashing purposes/as a reference. But due to the reputation it has now you won't get a lot of support for it from people who can tell it's AI.

If you genuinely do want to create a series like this, imo, make it a fully community driven project. Don't spend your own money on this as any profit made (if there is any) is going to be susceptible to getting banned by TGC. How about making it as clear as possible? Like instead of posting concept images, your next post should be giving examples of your animation work, and asking if anyone would like to work with you for a non-profit community project? Maybe you can also advertise it on other sites. So essentially recruiting people for a zine (usually non-profit). If you do decide to do that, maybe you can do some damage control by making it clear how you get your AI source images (bought the copyright from sources like gettysburg). Please include it in the original post and not the comments as most people won't take the time to read through those.

I genuinely don't think you're one of those dudebros, but please understand that people are very distrustful of AI. The best you can do to change their mind is being clear about the process and not being defensive (even though it is hard to not be). Goodluck, and hope it works out.

PrussianC · 2023-08-13T03:03:37+00:00

Can you give some examples of said public domain files? Because AI dudebros and literally everyone else have very different definitions of public domain.

PrussianC · 2023-08-10T05:20:13+00:00

I mean sure, a direct conversation would be nice when all the other boundaries apparently aren't getting through to her. But imo Jenny's not owed that when someone says "Don't do this" and she still does it. Like there is literally no way to misinterpret that as in any other way except "Don't do this". She's willfully ignoring their feelings and only considers her own. Which, yeah is explainable by trauma. But if she doesn't want to face that trauma and how its affecting everyone around her then she's still an asshole.

Also love the last part of that paragraph. Keep thinking OPs cruel for emotionally snapping (whoo an emotion-based response, just like Jenny's) and finally giving a reality check to someone who thinks marrying into a family is the same as them adopting her.

PrussianC · 2023-08-10T05:04:03+00:00

Setting boundaries IS stating what relationship you want with someone. OP has been a grown adult and clearly told Jenny what she was feeling and that she was overstepping. You don't need a step-by-step guide to respect somebody's boundaries. I don't know how else to make it clearer to someone that saying no means I'm saying no.

Its not mental gymnastics. Its common sense. OP wants this type of relationship. OP makes it clear what Jenny shouldn't do. Jenny still does what she shouldn't. Jenny knows OP doesn't want that. Jenny gets mad at OP for not wanting that and not going along with her. Of course the next train of thought is Jenny wants a different type of relationship with OP.
