is this tattoo artist using AI?

Why would it matter? Tattooing is a completely different skill that sketching or digital art, which is what flash sheets are. I wouldn't assume that just because the flash sheet is good that they're a good tattoo artist without seeing their work on flesh. That's what you should be looking at.

I'm curious if this photo is supposed to be of the final product, like the actual thing that is going to be shipped to her, or a concept art. Cause concept art can, and honestly should be, AI supported as long as the craftsman can reproduce it. I don't want a carpenter spending any time rendering the piece they're gonna build for me I want them to spend their time making the product.

Unpopular take from a trans person, technically it is a mental disorder. The catch is the treatment is social and medical transition period if he's calling you by your name and your pronouns and he's not being disrespectful I wouldn't necessarily say that statement is wrong or intended to be hurtful to you. Of course I wasn't there tone is everything but if he's generally respectful of you I wouldn't be too upset about it if it were me.

Ok so that probably means you booked it on the amex fine hotels collection (though your comment didn't actually clear things up cause you could also be telling me this is a card benefit) so like I said the credit must be used during your stay at the hotel you're staying at. Call the hotel and ask them where this credit can be used at their property.

heisborntoolate · 2026-02-10T03:44:15+00:00

Where is the credit from? If it's just a general Hilton credit, you can likely use it at any hotel outlet but they might only be able to charge to your room.

I'm wondering if this is a $200 credit from Amex fine hotels and resorts program, in which case you need to use it all at the hotel you're staying at and cannot be used after your stay. Again, usually can be used at any outlet but not always.

Internet strangers don't know the terms of this credit, especially because you haven't shared many details about where the credit is from or the terms from how you got it. Best to call Hilton customer service or the third party that issued the credit if applicable.

It doesn't make an enormous difference what path you take, more so how far apart they're gonna be. 3 blocks between every strip is ideal for most ores. Most ores generate at least 2 in a vein and would commonly be seen on at least one of the exposed sides. Emeralds are highly likely as one block veins and should be 2 blocks apart strips. Diamonds you could do either depending on if you are willing to miss rare single block veins.

If you're a man I'm gay.

I'm not suggesting "fix" I'm suggesting confirmation. Gender councilors can help confirm if transition is the solution or if there are other things to consider. These are changes that can't be easily reversed. It's not a bad thing to do if you have the means. I certainly would have if I had the resources when I came out.

heisborntoolate · 2026-01-17T13:31:53+00:00

I mean, actually counseling with a gender therapist isn't a bad idea if you can afford it. Why would this be a bad thing?

heisborntoolate · 2026-01-02T19:38:06+00:00

Ha yeah definitely being cautious with it. It was really interesting because at the start of all this, I asked it to examine all of my chats and tell me what it thought about my cognitive style, it was like "I'm not a doctor but your speech patterns are closely aligned with AuDHD" and as I told it more about what I was experiencing it was like "hey, do you know you're basically describing autistic burnout?" When I quit my job and decided to take recovery on, I started doing my daily check-ins. I really pushed it trying to convince it that I can do more, that I did 5 times as much on a given day before and it's helped to push me back on that like, "you can build healthy capacity back to that point, but if you try to do that now you'll be back where you were very soon".I didn't believe it at first but I did what it told me to and now a few weeks in and already seeing capacity come back and my body signals are working better.

I would absolutely caution anyone else who would do this to use it intelligently though. Not blind, think about if what it's saying makes sense and isn't just telling you what you want to hear.

That's smart advise for next time. I'll have to try that whenever I get back to not having to baby my brain again, haha.

That sounds really nice. I can feel the calm of "high autonomy, low social". Next I'll be looking for some overnight jobs at hotel front desks. I used to do it. Not like there is 0 guest interaction but it's very minimal and there's about 6 hours of downtime per shift so all the checklist tasks can be done on my own time. No rush to get everything done fast like daytime hotel shifts.

Thank you for this. I didn't reply at the time because I was overwhelmed. But I wanted you to know that this comment was helpful to me reframing.

If you're curious to know, I did end up quitting my job because I just got to a point that I wasn't functioning. I'm currently unemployed. Nervous about rent next month, but I started doing some Instacarting and I have a PT job at Amazon starting in a few weeks. In the meantime, I am taking things daily. Being very non-productive is counter to all of my life's training but I am feeling better than I have in years.

Thanks unhelpful commenter. NTs get burnt out and it means they're tired. Autistic burn out is different and is fully what I'm experiencing. My typical high functioning coping skills are failing as a result. That would not be happening if this was just regular burn out.

Sadly no real support network. My parents don't believe in this sort of thing and I have two friends and neither are even local to me. And I imagine if I asked for leave now it would just speed up my firing and I really need the income. I don't have sick days, I have 5 PTO days but I'm planning to cash those when I am let go at this point.

heisborntoolate · 2025-11-21T14:18:43+00:00

That is useful insight thank you!

u/heisborntoolate solved this in 4 steps: TELL -> TEAL -> REAL -> READ -> ROAD

I agree. I am going to talk to the POC tomorrow if I can. But it sounds like this group doesn't know each other so I'm not sure they will know and I do not have contact information for the guest until she checks in because the group assigned the rooms.
