oddly enough my last dentist visit was my first in like 6 years, and i got complimented on my teeth too, the only note was “drink less tea” and that’s not happening lol. and i just brush with a normal toothbrush twice a day (sometimes, usually once)

so in short, idk why i got told i need to put in so much more effort

i was told flossing should be an at least 20min task (ideally 30min) + 20min of using those tiny inbetween teeth brushes, and that i should pay full attention to what i’m doing to make sure i’m cleaning my teeth well

all that made me feel like it’s too much work and now i continue to just not do any of that

yeah i assume so, but still, my dentist told me i should spend at least an hour a day on teeth care every day, and a fully attentive hour too. like bro, when am i supposed to have time between work, general hygiene, teeth care, meal making, and chores to do something i enjoy doing

feels to me like dentists see teeth as precious pearls that should never be touched by anything but the most gentle of waters and cared for every day for at least an hour

i really don’t get it, body parts are meant to be used, not just look pretty

i mean, the ad was in english so kinda? i never clicked on them so i can’t say for sure

though don’t forget that a person who speaks english doesn’t have to be from an english speaking country. most people who want to travel/live abroad will know at least some english

when i used apps with targeted ads, amongst generic type of stuff i also used to get two polar opposites of ads:

1. ah, we see you’re in poland and use english a lot, want to learn english?

2. ah, we see you’re in poland and use english a lot, we can help you get your immigration papers for legal employment

both at the same time btw. apparently being a polish national who speaks english fluently marked me as some sort of ad-anomaly

the ads also believed that i was a senior? at some point i even got a spam call inviting me to join a study on back pain T–T like bro you’re at least 10 years early, relax

people be like “I love the world!” from the surface of a planet with an atmosphere and in the golden zone of warmth of their star. No. Go outside and let’s see

ah, i assumed you were talking about public models. the sort of stuff that you specified now is fine in my books. might be a good idea to mention that you don’t mean the slop making AIs from the start, since that’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “AI art”

let me know when AI actually makes something new instead of mass plagiarising actual artists’ work (whilst burning through tons of water)

because at the most generous you could call what AI does a “collage of anonymous artworks guided by a user’s input”, but in reality, it’s just stealing, and you don’t even know who’s art you took

overlap between drawing and photography? easy, composition, colour theory, framing, in fact you could take everything (aside from gear knowledge) from photography and apply it to drawing or painting

pretty much all mediums of art have the same basic core - concepts that can come in handy no matter what other medium you grab, shapes, colours, compositions - you learn those by working with any medium, and you can take them everywhere else

i meant the knowledge of line weight, colour theory, perspective, shapes, how light works, where shadows fall, how to treat your values, and the million other things that you can take to paper, that i have taken to paper as a ditigal artist

drawing ditigally is one way of drawing sure, but the skills you get as you draw are 90% transferable to any other medium - you just need to learn the new tool first

obviously it won’t be the same, but you’ll still be able to use the knowledge and skills you’ve obtained drawing digitally - to help you put the idea in your head onto the paper much better

and AI prompter would be on the same level as someone who’s never touched a pencil before

that language model doesn’t regurgitate the media it was trained on. it just makes sure you don’t misspell your thats

no,

if someone learns art on digital systems they can grab a pencil and do the same on paper. maybe they’ll be annoyed by lack of the undo button, maybe they’ll have to learn colour mixing, and how materials interact with each other, but the core ability to make art is fully transferable between ditigal and paper

same goes for animation. btw. your statement about it doesn’t make much sense, keyframes are a concept used by both digital and traditional animators. and if you meant frame interpolation then it’s a brute force calculation of the most average of averages given two data-points, 90% of the time the animator has to go back and fix it, developing their animation skills that they can then take to paper and do just the same (would just take way longer)

now what will a prompt typer do without their AI?

fuck all is what they’d do. the only transferable skill from that would be idk writing image descriptions for the visually impaired

i usually either opt for going through windows, or wait for a woman or an enby to open a door and then run at them aggressively before they close it

then the title is misleading

they can’t just put a game on their platform, the publisher needs to agree and set up terms of sale - if the publisher is going against what GOG want then it won’t be easy to compromise

just having a bouncer at the door reduces the number of minors significantly. Same way a sticker saying “this area is monitored” will reduce crime in the area, even if no camera is in sight.

should a bouncer actually check people’s IDs? yeah, that’d be nice. but a bouncer that just stands there and does fuck all is much better than no bouncer at all

nah even in Europe being trans friendly makes you at least left leaning

we’re not many miles ahead in the societal run towards progress and acceptance, the US is just sprinting the wrong way
