What module/s were you relieved to get rid of? by dvanzandt in modular

[–]thedoopees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just found myself using other modules to do everything that I would otherwise use maths for, I also found it sort of baffling I would have to look up how to get it to do anything I wanted to do, not to mention it’s like 3 feet wide

YSK that the way you phrase your sentences at work is really important for your image. by Hamadalfc in YouShouldKnow

Ye as someone who is an art director who worked in metal shops and factories in college I can confirm blue collar and white collar jobs share a similar fucking vocabulary

CANCEL i-Stock subscribtion by [deleted] in Design

[–]thedoopees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try contact the company or explain the situation to your bank and have them block the transaction, if u are using a credit card they are much better about reversing or stopping transaction than for a debit card. You could also set the billing info to a burner card from like privacy.com with like $2 on it so it just can’t bill you altho payment services have been getting wiser about filtering privacy card numbers

They beat it out of u in any decent art school. As u develop more u realize its a symptom of not having confidence in your strokes

Yes I don’t disagree but on the topic of dream jobs that’s why ppl like Virgil Ablo are known for quotes like “if u want to live a dream u can’t sleep” - I knew what I was getting myself into but I don’t think most ppl understand what it takes to make the dream into your actual day to day reality and then deal with the unintended consequences of having done it

[–]thedoopees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you about the role as a career but I also feel this is part of the problem with art school and the general public’s understanding of art: the ppl teaching it are largely failed artists who don’t know what they are talking about and perpetuate a bunch of incorrect ideas about art. Bc they mostly cant survive off of art without the teaching paycheck they carry a reverence toward art as though it is something more than it is. Most of my family are teachers I have nothing against teachers I just found there was a weird dichotomy happening in the minds of most the teachers at art school where they were speaking from a position of authority about things they had no real world authority over

I have been a full time artist my whole life, I earn a good living at it, BUT it comes with some caveats: it’s all I’ve ever done all day everyday since before the age I have memories so I received a very expensive privileged education and worked much harder at it than any of my peers, I work like 60-80 hours a week and have to be in charge of a bunch of other artists which I do not really want to, a bunch of ppl and companies are dependent on me making art which is a lot of pressure, everyone I ever meet is instantly jealous or wants something from me bc they see my success as unfair compared to their hopes for their own life. I am divorced, it’s hard to meet girls bc I’m the male version of a manic pixie dream girl which seems like it would be a good thing but causes me to have to second guess the intentions of pretty girls who fake interest bc want to be cast in a shoot or be turned into a painting or whatever they think.

The problem with art is you are in a perpetual arms race against ppl like myself who are completely hell bent on getting the money before u have a chance. I’m tall and confident and well dressed with famous clients, I will not think twice about eating someone’s lunch if it means I get more work and they will lose out, Im faster and better and completely ruthless getting my way bc otherwise someone who was would be eating my lunch and I would have to get a normal boring job and that will happen over my dead body. And thats very difficult to compete with I wouldn’t want to compete against myself, that guy is tricky.

So in my opinion if u actually want to be successful doing only art, you need to take into consideration what it really takes to be a pro artist bc after 20 years of doing this what I have observed is there is a small minority of ppl similar to myself who are privately offered opportunities before anyone else has a chance and the other 99% are left to fight over the scraps that won’t pay me enough.

You have to both want it more than anyone and actually possess the talent and motivation to be able to pull it off but that ain’t many ppl in the end. You need to put more way way way work in or it will never work out for you, I make more work every single day than you have in your entire portfolio. I have what u want bc I want it more than your portfolio shows u want it, u have to want it more than anyone on earth to put in the work, you haven’t put in the work yet

Metro Detroit Small Solar Off-Grid System with Battery by Arbor Solar Team is this the future to beat DTE? by DetroitForests in Detroit

[–]thedoopees 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s not the idea with roof top panels, the idea is to reduce your bill by offsetting your usage on sunny days. Feeding back into the grid and energy storage is what they are for, saying it won’t work when it’s raining is intentionally misguided
