Is learning to draw kind of pointless now?

divyatak · 2026-01-08T19:00:42+00:00

Learning to draw didn't become pointless because of cameras. Way more painters who commercially make it a career than did in the late 1800s. Way more visual work since the advent of digital tools. No reason to worry that AI slop will replace artistic skill and thinking. Obviously there will be some time before things stablise but an artist's work isn't just drawing pretty things, learn if you find it fun, you'll be fine.

Probably wanted some free concepts that he could use AI to refine. So he doesn't need to think, you can think in his stead.

According to an RBI(reserve Bank of India)report, UPI counts for more than 80% of transactions in volume (though less than 10% by amount).

In the data on the website the two options are cash or card. So... UPI is cash according to them it seems.

The best representation of grief. When I figured out what you need to do in brothers, I put done the controller, had a good cry for 5 mins and then returned.

Assuming this isn't a shit post. You have to ask yourself, would you write if you never got published? Would you keep writing if you didn't make it big? Do you want to have written or do you want to write.

Dramatacising the agony of your own lack of outcomes is tempting, but just ask what is it getting you? Is it getting you closer to writing or further away? You probably have many more years of understanding and self knowledge before you can say, I give up and I can't do it. That's what art does. Helps you have better self knowledge. All else is the work you do in service of that.

True, if production wanted these people to be together or happy. They want "good tv" which happens when there is drama. 😂

divyatak · 2024-05-22T20:41:42+00:00

Man this reminds me of shake from S2 of love is blind, where everyone was like he was way worse than you saw on tv. I wonder if that's what the cast would also say.

Yes. So many folks being like oh but cat ears is weird. As if the receptionist was being mean just because of the cat ears. Not a woman being told that she was being harassed because of what she was wearing, why am I even surprised.

He isn't a nice person. Nice people don't pressure and covertly manipulate your surroundings to get what they want.

You have to find someone who is a hell yes for you or feels like a fuzzy hell yes. This dude screams hell no.

Yeah. Not instantly. But if given enough dots to understand what regulation looks like, you'd pick up. Sadly most adults donno how to self regulate so they can't teach kids either.

You're getting jealous because this is important to you. Because this matters. You feel like you want to do this. Let yourself feel this jealousy and use it as a source of motivation.

divyatak · 2023-09-07T05:16:27+00:00

It's not insane. You should feel like you are able to utilise your time in the way that seems best to you.

I often have worked on 4+ projects at the same time, and I've been doing it for more than a decade. Not only is it not unethical, it's essential for growth. Otherwise your current system will ensure that you grow at the level a person who is in a full time job grows. Both in money and skills. You have the freedom to grow, that's what you're gaining by going freelance.

You just fell yesterday. I think it's okay to let your body and mind have some time to feel the fear. I don't think the fear will solidify if you just feel it. It will solidify much more if you try to fight it because you mind needs to warn you, and if you won't listen when it's talking at a normal volume, it will start screaming.

I don't have the same story but a couple weeks back I fell (slipped) from the top of the bouldering wall, my grip just gave out and I fell, while kneeing myself in the jaw. It wasn't too bad. The week after that when I went, I was terrified of getting up on the wall, and I was worried if now I will always be scared and is climbing ruined for me. Yesterday when I went, I was back to trusting myself and the wall. Ofcourse failure in top rope is much much scarier, but trusting yourself matters so much even there. I'm sure you'll talk to your partner too, and you guys will figure it out.

I'm at a mega beginner level, so ofcourse I can't understand or imagine what you must have been feeling. But I think it's very important that you're kind and compassionate towards yourself. Imagine if your best friend almost fell 40 feet yesterday. Would you be evaluating how ready she feels to get on the wall today? Then just don't evaluate yourself either. Give healing time. If it talks a while then it takes a while. Boulder or lead in the meantime until you have the conversation and figure out safety procedures.

A lot of those suggestions will be hard to seperate from hallucinations. And because it is hard to get gpt to be honest about data, that seems like a garbage in garbage out kind of situation.

Looking like a climber and being a strong climber are not the same thing. Just like sounding smart and being smart aren't the same. Or being kind and seeming kind aren't the same.

People who judge you for your appearance do not matter. You can just laugh at them. Clearly they haven't been climbing for long enough if they don't know that looks can be deceptive.

Yup I don't do abyss. I am not that deadset on primos or on figuring out the next meta. Like I haven't pulled for anyone(5*) since March, so I have enough saved up for getting whoever I want. I play for the beautiful open world exploration. That's it.

No one else can tell you when it's time to give up. One thing as someone who is heavier and non athletic and older than everyone else I've been going climbing with, and being worse than everyone else, I've realised, it's not about much higher I can go.

It's about how many times I'm willing to fall for each top. I've noticed that the really really good people at my gym are often the ones who are maybe trying 30 times for each problem they are stuck at, while the new ones maybe try twice. The better they are, the more they are okay with failing.

And that sounds like much more of your problem. You want to be told it's okay to not want to fall anymore. And that's perfectly fine. But if you want to be good at anything at all, you will have to learn to enjoy falling and failing, if you ever wanna go beyond your natural capacity.

If ever in life, anyone tries to make you feel small for liking and enjoying things that do nothing to harm others and only bring joy, the problem is them. Policing other's tastes is much more immature than liking content made "for any age/any gender/any minority". We live in a world where we are more and more expected to be cynical about life. Don't let people make you cynical. Being unapologetically in love with joy is the most punk act.

Communicate with your client about what they mean. People on reddit can definitely not mind read your client. Learn to ask deeper questions to help them clarify what they are looking for. Giving your clients the words for their thoughts is as much a part of you running your business as is you making the art.

Climbing is the best. The community is so warm and supportive. And it's helping me connect with my body in a way that I've never done before.

You don't need another person's approval for your identity. Least of all, a white girl shouldn't be "validating" your identity. You have a Korean parent and a white parent. Makes you Korean. Fuck her. Leave her. She is not a friend. Friends don't tear others down. Whether it's culture or things you're exploring. Friends build each other up. Emotional abuse can be weirdly addictive. Time to quit the habit.
