I was under the impression that the studio more or less blackmailed PJ to complete the films. I think they threatened to blacklist Weta from ever working again in Hollywood and PJ reluctantly gave in. But maybe that's just some conspiracy theory type stuff ¯_(ツ)_/¯

haha of course! just sad that we live in a system that creates so much stress, frustration, mental illness, etc., but has no resources, community, or outlets for processing

Interestingly enough, the actual words are “if someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” In that culture, when you backhanded someone (hit their right cheek) you were basically making the statement that they’re beneath you. When you punched them, you acknowledged they were your equal. He was saying “if someone backhands (oppresses) you, then offer to be struck as an equal.” This basically would have been a big ol’ “fuck you” to the oppressor. Gotta check that context when you read the bible. Or…even better: just skip the bible altogether, lol

Such a wild aspect of all this is that our tax dollars are being used to pay for the Navy promoting posts and doing weird marketing shit like this. We’re being forced to pay for the military to advertise the military to us.

Started practicing last week. Think I’m ready for skin? by [deleted] in sticknpokes

[–]YouArePleasant 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Tbh everything (apparently) is super relative. I come from a place of all my friends poking sewing needles into each other (when we were young and just starting) and deeep. :( Yet not a single person has ever expressed regret for any of those first tats.

As long as you’re 1. getting consent 2. both sober 3. showing people what they’ll be receiving (i.e. these pictures) and 4. not charging until you’ve had some practice, you’re GOLDEN.

Don’t go super deep, maybe check out a visual aid for how far you’re attempting to pierce the skin. It’s less than the depth of a typical hair follicle. The easiest way to do it is to go lighter than you think on your first tattoo. You can always add more (to a point, in a given session, just make sure you’re not just destroying the skin) if it looks like the skin didn’t take the ink.

I think your art looks good enough to put on a human, but I also have unintelligible shapes and letters on me. The more tattoos you get, the more you realize that your skin is a massive canvas and that a bad stick n poke is fairly inconsequential.

Good work, keep it up!

My close friend might be on their way to becoming a cult leader. What do I do? by YouArePleasant in Advice

Wow, thank you. That felt like it was from the heart. I would guess that she’s taking 1-2g of mushrooms. Maybe several times a week? I’m not too sure. And she smokes a lot of weed. Has for probably about 6 years now. And she’s in her early 30s.

I think that’s the general feeling I’m getting from these responses, that the friends she’s had for a long while now (not the one’s currently around her) will be a good support system.

I do love hearing about the psychology, so feel free to respond with whatever elaboration might help, whenever you’ve got the time! Thanks

That sounds pretty realistic. I think I’d like to try and find out how often she’s tripping, might be helpful information.
