We don’t know if they were bragging or not. It’s pretty common to ask what someone’s job is during small talk. For all we know they literally just said their job title and left it at that.

Correct. First one is Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and the second one is Hayley Williams of Paramore. It’s a joke because they look vaguely simar in those photos with the way they’re dressed and the person that responded took the bait.

This title kinda slaps.

That’s the normal size.

It was none of those things actually. It’s impossible to objectively judge our own artworks. We can analyze it, tell others what we think are the strong and weak points, but it’s extremely common for most people, especially when it comes to art, to judge it with a much higher degree of scrutiny that we do not reserve for others.

It’s something I’ve had to work through myself, both with my art and myself as a person. And with that comes an inherent distrust of others opinions of themselves and their work, especially when it’s excessively dismissive or pessimistic.

Those teacher notes still occasionally visit me in my nightmares.

I think your art is probably better than you think. We’re all our worst critics.

Just like me frfr

I saw one just an hour ago on twitch.

Moonlight guide us!

Yeah to most people bussy means ass because it’s the closest thing cis men have to a gussy.

I think most MonHun fans will agree that Wilds has the best gameplay experience to date. It’s such a damn shame that’s overshadowed by just how genuinely awful the performance is. I want to keep playing it so badly but I just can’t be bothered to do a full computer restart and force close as many programs as possible just to run the game at a mediocre 45-60 fps where everything looks like a slurry of artifacting on a 2070 super and an i7. Ugh…

China did what? From everything I’ve seen and read, de-radicalization is a pretty generous way of putting it but feel free to educate me.

I seem to remember that they only did after backlash to originally refusing to do so but I wasn’t following it super closely. That’s why I prefaced it with “IIRC”.

IIRC a lot of hate comes from their refusal to blacklist kiwifarms after they bullied several people to suicide.

That kinda goes hard honestly.

Wait what? That is some insane lore. Was it sent from fediverse chick accounts??

If that was true, that trend wouldn’t exist in the first place. At least one person had to legitimately hate or at least exaggerate disliking the word for that idea to spread, so it stands to reason that more than one person organically disliked the word independently. That’s not even considering outliers like folks with synesthesia who may perceive the way the word sounds much differently than most do.
