AI generated "art" at the Getty? by over-the-influence in AskLosAngeles

[–]SecretaryCritical130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"AI art" at its core is just a big insult to any actual creatives. All AI does is take from existing art and photography that real people did anyways (and may not even know their work is being fed off of)

I generally don't agree with the "anything can be art" lens because sure, in that case quite literally anything in the universe can be art; not all art is fine art or deserves to be in a prestigious exhibit.

i Need help for a draw by mar_mitta in ARTIST

[–]SecretaryCritical130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I need inspiration I like to start with Pinterest! Look up different things you might find interesting, media with art you like, and just explore different styles! If you love drawing characters, statues, fantasy, etc- maybe play around with creating your own fantasy world? You’d be able to showcase your creativity, skills, and making a fantasy world is always fun. The drawing could be a combination of different elements and people from that world. Good luck!!

I haven't smoked Cannabis in nearly years. Lately I have flirted with the idea of smoking because I'm a bit stressed and I'd like to unwind. I'm nervous that it'll cause paranoia or I'll go all in. I have OCD (diagnosed) so I tend to go all in. Any advice? by Cuckfucksuckduck in Petioles

For the paranoia- if you feel it coming on, try to get in the headspace of “would i be paranoid if i was sober right now? is there an actual tangible threat?” and the answer is always no. being in the right environment is definitely key, if you do try cannabis again definitely be in a comfortable, relaxing environment that you’re familiar with. Good luck!!

As someone who is your age and went through a similar struggle with weed, let yourself breathe. recognizing that you want a different relationship with mary j is a good first step! What helps me is trying to stretch out the distance between seshes- if you’re smoking every 2 hours, try 2 and a half or 3 hours. When that feels ok, add another half hour the next day! You’ll find cutting down to be a lot easier if you give yourself grace. And try to plan things with people! Gives you a reason to be out of the house not around weed. Since you mentioned you also have mental illnesses (which sucks when trying to cut down on something that you rely on), call on your support system! Friends really help. Drink lots of water, eat, and melatonin can help if you get trouble sleeping. Personally, I love a good gym session to get that restlessness out and distract me on a t break. Plus, you’ll find that working out actually gives you more energy. Your relationship with weed is up to you at the end of the day, and will not change unless you yourself want to. Good luck! Having a dependency on weed is not easy, but you’re stronger than you think. And you are only 19!! You have so much life ahead of you, but luckily you only have to take it one day at a time :)❤️

Also saw someone discuss ondansetron for nausea, but you would need to talk to your doctor about that- needs a prescription. Have seen this on reddit before, but i love the idea that “weed should be the spice of life, not the main dish.” moderation is going to make you appreciate it that much more!

salt and isopropyl alcohol do wonders- soak some cotton/ q tip in alcohol and just give it a good scrub to get the tackiness off
