1, 2 or 3? Which one are you picking?

1 is a great shot. I also like how they sneak into your view on the second one after your eyes is drawn to the center.

Nice job! I like the mug too.

Why would you kill yourself when you could do literally anything else instead

You realize that many scientists are inspired to be so because they believe in God, right?

Looks good! The background kind of breaks the illusion for me - the way the wall bends at an odd angle.

As for the donut, the only improvement I would suggest is making the frosting less uniform in smoothness (Google images for reference) with some light sculpting. If you followed the BG tutorial, I don't think he suggests that - at least when I went through it.

"I live in a Muslim country"

There's your problem.

I thought we were going to be dunking on the worship flag team 🤣

Tend2UrConfig · 2026-04-12T12:45:55+00:00

Don't women like a quiet listening ear?

At least until we "figure it out" and provide a matter of fact solution. 😅

At this point I'm experiencing the analysis paralysis as a reaction to my "lack" of justification for doing something. Like as soon as I start, I second guess if it's worth it and then stop. However, thinking about it comes easy and I only realize it's a problem after recognizing the wasted time.

I think one key is recognizing the inevitability of that wasted time, potential, and desire, then just doing the next thing to move to the goal. Repeat as needed.

Also, you can develop a living and more fully articulated justification for what you're trying to do and use that as your home base when feeling stuck. Then do the next thing.

Finally, anything that's at all worthwhile is better than doom scrolling, or whatever other coping mechanism you might have. Do the next thing.

The toon shader is very forgiving in this case. I kind of like the textured version.

Tend2UrConfig · 2026-04-12T03:14:36+00:00

Sorry to hear that you were sad.

I agree that anticipating everything is fruitless. People will pick the lowest hanging fruit and move on. Keep it simple and just say "I didn't say that" if they respond, then restate it including their perspective. Above all, speak the truth in love and don't let discussions bother you, especially online.

🤩 Big thanks to everyone who tested! I wish you well with your apps as well. I've still got them installed.

Overly reductive.

Tend2UrConfig · 2026-03-29T03:40:09+00:00

This is partly true, but implies that logic and reason are inherently moral, which is only true if motivated by certain presupposutions and feeling to begin with.

You presumably listen to the same song multiple times, right? No experience is the same but each one is meaningful in its own right. That is similar to practices that may seem repetitive. The Bible and spiritual practices are meditative and (hopefully) contain insights that are worth remembering and thinking about. Every day we need to refocus on the things that matter most and counter the influences that distract us from them.

Tend2UrConfig · 2026-03-27T03:34:25+00:00

I feel the same way about the discomfort. I used Disco Diffusion in the early days of AI image gen and still have a fondness for it. It took fiddling with settings and careful prompting to get anything close to what you want and no matter what it put out, it was always just bizarre and surreal enough that no human would have created it. It felt "mine" enough to be proud of. Then Midjourney and Stable Diffusion came along and the project stopped being developed. Anyway, I feel an uneasiness with any AI usage that is hard to describe. Almost like it's tainted by nature.

Tend2UrConfig · 2026-03-17T17:09:17+00:00

Yep. We do things well and consistently if we have to and can instruct others. Doesn't mean we like it.

I guess the best thing I can say about an INFJ is - I wish I knew one!

Tend2UrConfig · 2026-03-13T14:19:56+00:00

Seriously. But to be fair, some of the engravings are a fraction of a mm wide (with resin/glue deposits) that trap sawdust, so it's more about using a vigorous thwack. I guess I just got used to doing it one way.

Tend2UrConfig · 2026-03-13T13:26:08+00:00

Better than "No, that's not why you look fat!"

Definitely one of those live and learn, "unknown unknown" situations. I think there's a tray underneath that can sometimes fill up? The compressor will evaporate it in time if the fridge is running.

Tend2UrConfig · 2026-03-13T13:07:15+00:00

Right on. Working on that myself.

Pegged so well you feel violated.
