@JordanBloch@maybeyuh@shalashaska098@offbeatorbit Relying on your capacity to check it's on itself a potential liability because you will not always be able to. So while checking it's fine, you also need an auxiliary reminder that does not depend on your capacity to do so, which is what these parents are asking for.
@JordanBloch@maybeyuh@shalashaska098@offbeatorbit It's less about your redundancy systems and more about your awareness of potential vulnerabilities. You can double or triple check, but there will be circumstances where you will lack the mental capacity to do so because of emergencies. These emergencies happened like that.
@JordanBloch@maybeyuh@shalashaska098@offbeatorbit If you care so much about not committing a fatal mistake you cannot have this attitude. There is always a vulnerability, the issue is that you are not aware of it. That is how these accidents happen.
@Khendry101@purity_culture@CherryHam21 Not really. Boundaries can go as innocuous as "I will watch only 2 episodes max because bingewatching is unhealthy and I struggle to stop on my own". "I will watch but not engage in the fandom". It's creating a healthy relationship to the content you consume according to needs.
@Scott_Crowe74@jkwfkxiwkbr@thepeaklady We are hairless compared to other apes because we sweat. Sweat is broken because they give us stamina, which allow us to chase our prey long after most predators have ran out of gas. In exchange, we are ridiculously vulnerable to bugs and the illness they transmit. Give and take.
@Scott_Crowe74@jkwfkxiwkbr@thepeaklady Dude, some animal's horns grow so much they stab their skulls and kill them. Nature is trial and error. Just because we made it out does not mean there are no errors, and our design has a price. It's s give and take, in exchange for our cognitive capacity we have deficiencies.
@katemoment7@baroquerational@_TRAMMY_ Not wrong, but cowardly, because it stuns the story you are actually trying to create. Emphasis in the wording I used. I said most fanfic writers and that Fanfic has a place when it knows it's place. It is not a substitute to the og work, nor a substitute to actual og creation.
@baroquerational@_TRAMMY_ I respect fanfic that actually takes the source material and expand on the story, character and themes. Unfortunately that is not what most fic writers are doing. Fanfic has a place when it knows it's place.
@baroquerational@_TRAMMY_ A lot of yall are cowards ngl just make your own stories with your own story/characters. So much of fanfiction loses the point of the story or character. As a starting ground it's fine but at some point you need to leave kiddie pool.
@mdwfmom@DisbldUrbanFarm@sophiathebold This is the most common stated cause for paternal abandonment btw. The inevitably shift in relationships that comes with having a child shatters some fathers who thought they would have been fine otherwise.
@mdwfmom@DisbldUrbanFarm@sophiathebold Man, just give it up and accept they are people who are very good at lying for a long time.
Parenthood specially changes men. A man who is otherwise loving will change the moment he realises he is no longer the priority of the relationship and that he will always come second.
@sightlyfixated@AviaryArt@emnide And the reason why I was able to do that is because I did not "try" to do depth, because if I did it would have failed. I just imitated the content of the image, which has depth. I did not learn of this until I read a book, but I think it's a good exercise for non-artists.
@sightlyfixated@AviaryArt@emnide And you can train your eye to do that. One useful way to turn off the abstraction is by making an eye unidentifiable as an eye to the brain, and you have several tricks for that, such as turning an image upside down. When I did this I was taken aback by how I was able to do depth
@eternalsunraes@thesoypill ... do you understand this is how the Satanic Panic worked? Parents and police thought these children were abused and pressured the children to give them the answers that they wanted. Innocents had their lives ruined. Please think for more than one second.
@ShitpostRock When someone says they want to draw but can't I need to ask them for how long did they try. Most say five to ten minutes. Few say over three hours. A five minute time will give you a five minute output. A good piece needs that much amount of time.
@StarWarsFedora@pensandpoison Watch Justin Sung's videos and take what works for you. I point him out because he has a lot of knowledge on learning theory. He helped me a lot.
To help you retain you need to integrate information and connect ideas, so a method like Mindmapping or Zettelkasten can help too.
