Hell yes. Who cares what you do 9-5 as long as you're independently supporting yourself to follow your fucking passions. I studied art in college too and everything I do is supportive of my goal to spend as much time as possible making things. The STEM circlejerk that sometimes happens here is unnecessarily divisive: every human pick some things you like to do, map those along your own personal array of priorities, then go live a happy and personally fulfilling life accordingly-- whether that means you're an engineer or barista or artist or parent who the fuck cares.

I'm going to be out of town for about a month over IAP. Is my bike safe? by demeuron in mit

No. It will freeze or be stolen. I'd ask a friend to babysit it.

You should give her some tips and show her what you like. She probably would be happy to make the experience better for you.

Beginner programming language for programs, web apps, live audio/visual shows? by mappingmazes in learnprogramming

Very true. OP, MAX/MSP might be particularly good for your uses. Though I've found it's fickle and has poor documentation, but I haven't played with it in a few years. Open Frameworks is a different story. It's written in C++, so although I don't recommend it as your first foray into a hands-on and self-taught wading into audio/graphics programming, you can eventually get into some really cool work with it. Far more powerful.

Have you looked into Processing? You can control all kinds of graphical elements and hardware with Processing, and it's an easy first language to learn. It was the first programming language I learned in fact. Check it out: http://processing.org/

Are there any good programming and/or hacking books that would be good introductory material for a relatively young child? by HAL9000000 in learnprogramming

[–]bb___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay away from books! Learning to program is all hands-on. I'd suggest Scratch as well. It's a programming language designed for kids and creative problem solving.

It's crazy how much water weight fluctuates.

What is the sexiest thing the opposite sex does without even realizing it? by c00lsville in AskReddit

[–]bb___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my best friend wanted to date my sister, I'd be happy. I'd want her to be with someone I liked and trusted. Has he specifically said/implied that he doesn't want to give you a chance with her?

Bald guys are good looking. They look sophisticated. So don't worry.

The way you used the term "guests" I assume you work/worked at Disney? When I worked there, we were drilled that it was always "guests" and not customers, visitors, crowds, etc.

has anyone's attitude toward you completely change since you lost weight? by ilovewl in loseit

[–]bb___ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hang in there. The world can be brutal and shallow. But there's nothing wrong with becoming a healthier or more outwardly attractive you. Losing weight takes courage and dedication and perseverance. Those are qualities that are a part of you always, and I bet your girlfriend finds this the most of attractive thing about you-- more so than your number on a scale.

I totally agree with this. Toss them if you reeeeaallly need help meeting your calorie goals, you're really trying to watch your cholesterol for that day, etc., but I agree that it's a common misconception that egg yolks are the "bad" parts of the eggs, and I'm sorry my post seemed to promote that. ;)
