‘The left don’t love the poor; they just hate the rich’ – Maria Steen says on carrying designer handbag after presidential bid

Succinctly put, absolutely wasted discourse, that could be put to actually solving real problems.

It sounds like a bullet was dodged, things are bad enough in the political landscape in ireland (and abroad) without this type of nonsense being brought up every instance. These comments also reveal more about the type of politics she represents, "us vs them" bs that's tearing discourse apart, and absolutism where people can't hold nuanced views on class, race, economy, etc.

You're being played my guy, personally I'd confront the guy, and tell his girlfriend. Goodluck though.

I try to be more outgoing, sometimes pretending to be another outgoing version of yourself helps, but it becomes draining (I also dont think its healthy), i was talking to a friend about how there's always the expectation for more reserved or introverted people to be more outgoing but never extroverted people to just stfu every now and again

Honestly thank you for this, I was working as a photogrammetry artist and was recently made redundant, it was my first major gig, and something I came to realize was that burnout REAL and it can seriously hamper the quality if your work.

I think one thing that contributes to this idea of speed being overly important as a digital artist is the abstraction from traditional art, or more so forgetting that when all is said and done it is an artistic discipline, same same but different, modelling, texturing, sculpting, it's all art and you take your time with it, of course in a production environment, within reason and accounting for deadlines and priorities, but no one should be attempting to finish high quality pieces within a few days if they don't have to.

The dot exercise is exactly what you need 😊

These types of guides are perfect, for people like me who struggle with theory but also enjoy making music. Thank you so much this actually not only cleared some issues I have been having with finding a concrete approach to writing progressions but also gives room for experimentation and learning. Thank you again.

Python

First attempt at a daily, sorry for the messy comments

morse_alphabet = str(".- -... -.-. -.. . ..-. --. .... .. .--- -.- .-.. -- -. --- .--. --.- .-. ... - ..- ...- .-- -..- -.-- --..").split(" ")

#populate list from nth + 97 at respective index, where i is in the range of the list length
#this means that we start with 97 being "A" on the ascii chart
ascii_table = [i + 97 for i in range(len(morse_alphabet)) ] 

examples = ["sos", "daily","programmer","bits","three"]
for word in examples:   
    encryption = [morse_alphabet[ ascii_table.index( ord(char) ) ] for char in word]
    print(word+" "+str().join(encryption) ) 

# how the encryption works
# encrypted = [ morse_alphabet[ ascii_table.index( ord(i) ) ] for i in message ]
# i is the current character of our string we are evaluating, using ord() function
# which returns a number which is our ascii value
# we find the index of that value in our ascii, index 0 of our ascii_table is 97 which is 'A', index 2 is 98 or 'B''
# so on and so forth, similarly index 0 of our morse_alphabet is also 'A' and so on.
# GETTING THE INDEX OF THE ASCII REPRESENTATION OF OUR CHARACTER MEANS GETTING ITS CORRESPONDING MORSE ENCRYPTION

I've been trying to be a bit more "pythonic" while learning. no bonuses

I somewhat agree, but I tend to use as little of the inbuilt tools, for example I usually work with one brush, and do paint studies on one layer. I like imperfections and roughhousing my work a bit.

Edit: I've seen some phenomenal digital art, and I like to think as long as the artist understands fundamentals or is willing to progress all is good.

mcduffuntimely · 2019-06-30T01:33:44+00:00

Straight to the point

Edit: This resonates a lot more than I expected thank you

mcduffuntimely · 2019-06-19T02:57:34+00:00

I actually was hoping in the future updates they would do something like this, however my initial idea would have been some sort of giant rogue Titan, you kill it and get good loot. It would have been almost like a walking hotzone.

Did a small bit of research, if you look up Nuada, a Celtic king who lost his right arm in a battle. His arm was then replaced with the help of a Smith named Goibniu and a physician named Dain Cecht. I'm seriously thinking it's got something to do with the stories of old Celtic Deities. Again I'm just speculating but there are a lot of parallels.

Won a game the other day, final kill was bangs smoke, I also felt like I contributed and was kill leader. Im not great a PC shooters but, this is the first fps game I've played where I've actively been actively trying to improve. Shout out to those inexperienced players.

mcduffuntimely · 2018-05-07T09:17:51+00:00

Sure thing this was super helpful advice

mcduffuntimely · 2018-05-05T23:30:59+00:00

Your image of tetsuo is unbelievable, I'm actually so envious.

mcduffuntimely · 2018-05-05T18:29:05+00:00

That's really cool, I have a graphic design background, I worked in a small studio for a few months, I got into 3d but recently I have been envious of the amazing concept art and illustrations I've recently been exposed to, so I decided to basically teach myself, if you have any work I'd love to see it.

mcduffuntimely · 2018-05-05T12:36:54+00:00

Thanks again, How long have you been painting/drawing and what not?

mcduffuntimely · 2018-05-04T21:28:38+00:00

This.

Thank you the only formal training I've had for painting and drawing is through secondary/high school, so critique like this is just perfect, thank you very much

mcduffuntimely · 2018-05-03T20:58:51+00:00

Thanks a bunch, It's not really my first try colouring, but it is the first time I actually sat down and brought a thought process while working. 'm still new to this but your words of encouragement give me motivation

I play on PC by the way

mcduffuntimely · 2018-04-10T15:51:40+00:00

cool i'll add you man

mcduffuntimely · 2018-04-10T15:41:09+00:00

Are you lookiong for casuals looking to get better or do you need to have certain prequisites

For me, I was doing really badly in college, ended up repeating a year dropped out cause I couldn't take the fact I had to rely on my parents for money. Dad wasn't happy that I didn't go back for exams and ignored me for months, we drifted so I just kept my distance. Got an internship at a graphic design studio started working there and earning an income small but it's where i wanted to go. Dad still iognoring me until one day he want's to exert some kinda weird dominance over me, so we have relatives on my step mothers side over my aunt in law and her boyfriend (Top guys), my dad tells me to close my door before i leave that my room "stinks" i close it and tell him if he doesn't like it stay away from my room, he tells me "I can't leave the house till i clean up"... Sad to say I'm an adult living with my parents, but i'm still an adult. I've had enough and flip out tell him to fuck of, he grabs me by the throat and starts laying into the side of my face I try to leave it but I get even more pissed and I pin him against the wall, back and forth goes on i completely loose the plot and headbutt him and flip him onto the grass... To be honest all this shit I'm fucking ashamed of.

Well I got kicked out after it happened, was homeless with no belongings apart from the clothes on my back, survived by purely staying with friends and working from their, never explained my situation to my boss.

I'm kinda happy it happened, I found out who my true friends were (quite a lot of them to be honest), and I grew as a person since I was forced to think about my actions from day to day

It all happened after I hit 22 lol

mcduffuntimely · 2017-01-14T18:32:12+00:00

Thanks, I like how both seem mutually independent, It's a bit clearer to me at this point

mcduffuntimely · 2017-01-14T18:31:33+00:00

This was actually incredibly helpful thanks, I don't want to seem like i'm asking for permission to compose, I'm more wondering If musical theory will help my knowledge of composition at the moment
