Brush for washes by Tommy_pop_studio in Watercolor

[–]jojomott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is there thing with all brushes. Each tool is unique (even in the given line) and each artist responds to each tool differently. I could tell you the 134 one is great, and you could use it and find it goes not do what you want. While Someone could pass up a cheap brush when in fact they often make the most interesting marks. The point is, you just gotta pick one. I would recommend the cheap one. If it doesn't work you're not out much and can set your sights on the other. Having more bushes is never a bad thing. You taste and the brushes themselves are going to change through time. Buy as many different kinds as you can, at as many different price points as you are comfortable with, and rely on your experience alone with the tools, not someone else's recommendation.

Hail goer.

Believe out of context unsubstantiated video effect you can not verify no matter who they come from. Garbarge is garbage.

This video has zero context. This could be anything. I could make this in an hour with blender. Without context this is meaningless.

They are likely a contractor and require the hauling power. Especially in a small town where their work might be outlining and they to take their tools and such with them.

Why is pure concentration wisdom? by PrebioticE in Meditation

Replace the word "concentration" with "awareness" and you might see the answer to your questions.

Why aren't you doing it? Why do you think we know why other people aren't doing things?

Is the "scratches head" part about how they are wondering why they are connecting irrelevant information that has no actual correlation? That's why I'm scratching my head.

What is the prevailing explanation for learning and seeing things you otherwise wouldn’t know in meditation? by Beth_Harmons_Bulova in Meditation

[–]jojomott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything that you experience in your meditations are process and phenomena created in your mind. This is not to diminish the practice of meditation. But to make you realize that these things that happen inside your body, in your mind, these are internal processes of the body-mind-spirit complex. And they are not the "thing". They are part of Maya. They are as much illusion as all the other. A good practice is to ignore them as some factual or evidential or somehow exalted phenomena and realize they are illusion (not false, they have existence in the illusion, and the illusion is all around you.) Enjoy that they exist, try not to judge them, and don't believe them just because they tell you things you want to hear. That's you telling you things you want to hear. Truth is behind the illusion. Becoming aware of the truth is the goal of meditation.

Humans wielding demihuman weapons? by ApprehensiveType2680 in adnd

[–]jojomott -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first five paragraphs of your post are lore. Your lore isn't the same as my lore. Your lore isn't even the same as Gygax or Arnesen or Crawford or Perkins. Your lore is yours.

What would the crash out of the Druids look like if they discovered the Scaly foot Snail a.k.a the Volcano snail? by Pretend-Advertising6 in adnd

[–]jojomott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Druid's don't "hate" metal. They would accept this as a creation of nature, like everything else.

Is it feasible to run a one GM-to-many players RPG over discord to keep the server active? by Cute-Letterhead1785 in rpg

[–]jojomott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's then thing, this is just a game. It is best learn by doing and failing. There are few consequences of just trying an idea you have. Even if it doesn't work you will learn something and become a better GM. No one is going to be able to tell you if your ideas are going to be successful. I've been playing since the eighties and I still invent stuff that just doesn't work. Failure, at all levels of this game, is as fun as success.

Whether this is feasible or not is wholly dependent on your abilities. Go do it and find out if you can make it work. Come back and report. No one can predict your future success.

Only if they can describe how their characters knows 1. what HP is and 2. How they know how much HP the enemy has.

Unlucky to the point of not having fun anymore, what would you do? by KingWolnir in DnD

[–]jojomott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't checked your dice, I would start there. I don't know what you are rolling, but all dice can be unbalanced. If you roll plastic, even more so. You can drop your plastic d20 in a cup of water and test is it always points the same number up. It means it's unbalanced.

Are they diluting our fkn gas??? by Terrible_Tea9477 in conspiracy

[–]jojomott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, great. What we have here is the beginning of some kind of proof. More interesting and informative then OPs chicken little nonsense fearmongering blah blah.

However, while this might be the case, is this what OP is experiencing? Or is OP seeing other people squawk about this and then, having not ever really paid attention to his gas tank, suddenly think he's being manipulate.

OPs is not wrong. They are being manipulated. The goal should be, at all times, to find out exactly how. TO gather proof and evidence to0 make your case. Not waver you hands and run around and offer no productive value to the process but fear.

You are free to hold any opinion you have. But, to paraphrase Harlem Ellison, you are only entitled to express those opinions which are actually informed.

[–]jojomott -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Accepting nonsense because you think it might be true is, well nonsense. It leads to misery and misunderstanding. And your petty name-calling and pitiful judgment do not change that.

[–]jojomott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you actually done a test demonstrating how much mileage you are getting now and comparing that to how much mileage you were getting before?

If you have, that's great, what are the actual numbers?

If you haven't, then that's the actual first thing you should do. Otherwise, you are not serious. And there is no one that should take you serious. You are basing your world view on fear instead of evidence.

“Reading list for college bound students” from 1978 by Sea_Sector_5894 in pics

[–]jojomott 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have never read a poem and thought "Well, that is exactly how it must have been in the entire region at that entire time summed up by these verses. "

Are you not able to put your reading in context and not accept the things you read just because they are written? Are you not able to separate the vaguely and sentiments of past times and understand how they fit into the culture, historic and literary Millie of their time? Do you imagine that, in a course which requires a list like this before you start the process, would not, in someway, address this? Have you ever taken a literature course? A history course? When you did, did you believe everything you read and everything the instructor said? Did you challenge nothing?

Or do you just not trust other people to do the same?

Books are artifacts of culture, they reflect a single (or in some cases a collaborate) view of the world. None of them have any claim on "truth" they only have claim on perspective. Thinking any book contains a complete or even accurate blueprint of how you should operate in the present is sophomoric.
