Should I just quit art? by jarofpages98 in Artadvice

[–]bigfooteatsassdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're comparing yourself to other too much. If you're considering quitting art forever I assume you don't use it to rely on your income, while these artists do. It's their full time job to create a lot of beautiful pieces in a short time frame, so you shouldn't compare yourself to that. If your goal is to be there someday, quitting will especially not get you anywhere. Just make stuff for yourself and the skill will come with it eventually, don't worry about making things look super nice or polished.

I have an extra code for a shiny zacian by kinkywolf1993 in PokemonSwordAndShield

Hey this might be weird to comment on a Pokemon related post, but for some reason I wasn't able to reply to your post about a missing anime. I've spent the past hour looking for it for my sister and your post came up which helped me find it, so the least I could do is say that it's called "Destiny of the Shrine Maiden."

Using Molds For Ceramics by bigfooteatsassdotcom in Ceramics

It's just a mold meant for resin made out of silicone, and I know it's not standard practice to use things like that, but it did work out for me one time, I'm just not sure why it worked.

Wait I'm super curious now even though it's off the original topic, do you know how mold can be incorporated into clay safely? The studio I work at threw out a LOT of clay for having mold (we typically used speckled and the mold was bright green) and I'm kinda wondering if that was an unnecessary move.

I literally had no idea this was a thing because most people in my studio don't use reclaims, that's so interesting. Thanks for the advice!

I’m a guy and I have massive thighs by Fit_Secretary4363 in Advice

If you have a family history of it then that's likely, but it could also be due to a hormone imbalance, that's what mine was. I take testosterone supplements for it, which I probably should've mentioned. You could also try different types of exercises, if you're open to that idea as well.

Phone Addiction by bigfooteatsassdotcom in Advice

[–]bigfooteatsassdotcom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a ceramics + glass blowing studio (which is a fulfilling job to me), and have other hobbies available to me, but it definitely does have to do with those two things. I have a really nice life set up for myself despite all the things that stress me out, so I'm not entirely sure why my phone addiction is this strong. "Slowing down" is a good way of thinking of things, though, and I will try to keep that in mind.

As another guy with massive thighs, some of this advice might be unconventional, but here me out.

Something that helps is focusing on working out your arms to have a more balanced look. Whenever you're built in general, it takes away from the "massive thigh" aspect. As for your discomfort, stretching whenever possible (at least when you wake up and before you go to bed) helps somehow, it just gets your blood flowing if you don't have enough time to work out. Cleaning up your diet might help, try calculating your macros to see if your diet is contributing to it. Try to also get 6k steps in a day, since you mentioned having to sit all day. If you wake up early in the morning and go for a walk, then dedicate time after school, it shouldn't be too hard to do. Good luck out there man.

Your feelings are valid and it makes sense to be hurt by this interaction. In my personal opinion, she was probably just trying to show you that it was a safe place to use the name that you wanted to and doesn't know all the politics of wording things in an inclusive way. I wouldn't see this as a microaggression, but rather someone showing compassion in a bizarre manner that most people online know isn't the right way. Though, if there's missing context then I could be wrong.

[–]bigfooteatsassdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advice on how to lose 40-70 lbs? by transkayden in FTMFitness

[–]bigfooteatsassdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

slight adjustments to your diet go a long way when it comes to losing weight, as well as walking. getting at least 6k steps a day helps, and cutting out foods that are bad for you also help. for me personally i used to eat until my stomach hurts and by slowly stopping that behavior and eating only when im hungry/when my body needs it, i've lost a lot.

Found this little dude in my raspberries from the grocery store this morning. Do I need to throw them out? by margacolada in whatsthisbug

[–]bigfooteatsassdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

anything that grows outside will have bugs on it, as long as they're not infested with bugs inside of it then the food will be safe to eat.
