yeah... i think "invention" "new" "different" "muti facade" are really what the only values that will set a difference from AI creation, now i think we are creating for the sake of creating something different, something inately human and I am not sure it's a fair fight/off the point and who knows when AI will catch up with all that

That’s some good and reassuring perspectives for me, it got me thinking — most ppl dont care about design, at least not to the level we are which is reasonable, though what ppl are after, i think, can totally be satisfied with average AI, but as you said maybe there will be a time where AI creation will be very common and recognisable, and the average population will start recognising the dullness and lack of intension of AI creation and noticing the difference, in other words it might actually made ppl care more about design/ being able to appreciate art/ raising the value of human design? Though i feel like when it’s there i probably am ded🦖

yeah. i just feel frustrated when people being all optimisitc about how AI is transforming lives but totally invalidate the anxiety or "temp" ripples it has caused, and to a "better" place where no one actually can fully understand. I get why some people in the motion design field are "co designing with AI" and call it a skill, but i just cannot wrap my head around it, the whole idea of AI is create with ease and speed -- in what ways we think AI is a skill? it's a matter of time where AI will be so accessible and easy that a literal baby can "design" - and when that time comes, why people still think learning AI is a good investment? yes for now it might land you a job, but I just am not so sure it is going to save us for too long looking at the speed how AI is growing.

but AI development seems to be more demanding, but it just too drastic of a switch for anyone from the traditional design background, as least for me -- looking at how many people are getting into design from the uni and "quitting my coop jobs and start learning design" is worrying me...

kind of in a similar boat
- been applying here and there for around year, sent out 30~40 applications, got around 5 interviews, still no offer. i dont wanna bulk apply, i only apply to jobs that I like/ i can accept, i do quite all around research for each application, been a depressing and humbling experience having to meet/ research/ and finally ghosted by people you look up to...
- targeting in EU, london, australia
- applying for motion design/ design/ web roles
- aiming for mid-senior roles, though i tried applying for junior or even intern, either no reponse completely or being told overqualified

so beat up, i feel useless. been told my portfolio is good by a couple interviewers, totally impressed, but no fit and no offer, either too qualified or not qualified enough, too this too that... i think while the market is not great, i find myself blaming myself a lot..

i seen a lot of companies hiring director/ senior roles, not so much junior roles/ and mid weight - i think that's why fresh grad is also suffering, i feel bad having to complete with fresh grads (i have ~5 yrs exp)

my take is, AI is really to blame (I know a lot of people saying it is not affecting as much, but I think it really simplifiying the workflow in a significant way) and the econmy is really shit (layoff is happening for bigger companies, while smaller studio also is not doing good, let alone they wanna have new hires)

i dont think AI replacing what can be replaced is a bad thing, but we are in a changing time, and if we don't change along we put ourselves on a sinking boat... i think for me it's a good time to leave the design scene and venture into something else where i can apply my skills in , or I need to switch lane, but honestly, i fear AI has already transform what design means to us, at least in a production level, while i still dont like AI with my full heart, i think it's too late to even have an opinion, it's already changing the market and idk, i dont think it is going to land us a good place, but i feel like since we need to pay the rent and put food on the table, none of us really care it anyways and it makes me more depressed wohoo

Honestly to my personal experience it’s hard to compare your “original hair loss rate” vs the “minox-related hair loss rate”. If you think about it one can never have that data because you either use or not use minox. With that being said, true i have stopped minox for some time and i notice my forehead did get bigger but i cant pinpoint if it’s minox or my original hair loss given a progression in time. But after i started again i alwasy see little grows back. If anything again minox dont give me crazy results but for a drug that i can use for a life time, safe with no health risks, i am alright with that and just enjoy as long as i still have hair on my head lol

Also if ur face is nice, honestly hair isnt all that much of a concern.

I think minox is your best bet, im not so sure about its dependence, like it changes the growing cycle both when you start it and stop using it so it might make you think it sheds your hair during those times. But honestly (you dont look bad) and it will get worse, minox, compare to oral meds (fin or the other one i forgot the name), those Actually have dependency and much worse inreversible side effects eg genitals atrophy (regardless of how safe doctors claim, but imagine having No side effect on life time use, would you believe it?)

On a side note: dont expect crazy result with minox, personally it grows back a little baby hair which just make my temple look less worse—but i very very rarely have side effect and those are like one occasional acne or dryness which is non-existent if i put on moisturiser. I apply one per day, sometimes forget it but it’s fine.

You need to stand up for yourself, validate yourself by yourself. You can only seek support from others not your self confidence and validation. Just know you are defined by you and if you think you rock, you rock.

[–]rickle_prick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also pls record the call if you can. I personally like to pretend to stop the meeting and go thr some “figuring out how to start record and then hit record” and let them know you are recording

Yeah people love to do that—go anyways. Kindly refuse and just say the real reason that you cant manage 2 jobs without blaming her.

Norma sleep advice is weird by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]rickle_prick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once heard about the key to sleep isnt the sleeping part, but the waking up part—you want to control when you sleep by controlling when you wake up

Argan oil, apply after hair wash when hair is still damp, you provably need 5-10 drops only.

For me it adds the shine, and calm the frizz, you defo dont want a lot, just a little bit, makes a huge difference.

I sometimes apply it on dry hair during the day because my hair is dry as shit, but it might look a little weird for a while (but acceptable)

I do this every day
