Crazy Lee Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hmm. Anyone care if I start a thread about the right wing radio I sometimes listen to? I get bored at work sometimes, when I'm alone with just me, the voices in my head, and the silence. I sometimes post my thoughts on FB about the insane logic and stupid comments they do, and it can be amusingly entertaining if not painful (especially when I listen to Savage Nation and dear Mr Savage believe every conspiracy theory out there)... but no one reads my FB at all anyway. Then again I'm kinda trying to avoid those right wing radio shows for my sanity, and was thinking to switching to tech podcasts or audio books, but was going to listen to them currently thanks to the whole Oregon y'allqueda thing, to hear their amusing take on it. 1 hour ago, PastryOfApathy said: Because outside of the slightly derpy face (and the obvious), it's not too bad.

Saxon Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I feel like Art universities should be more selective when admitting students. I see far too many online galleries by art students which are so hopelessly terrible that, even if they were given a good education, there is no chance of the student developing into a proficient artist. I'm not sure whether Art universities merely accept people so that they can receive their student loan money...but it is really abusive to let some deluded student waste years of their life, and thousands of pounds, in pursuit of a goal they are destined to fall spectacularly short of.

Extremely high tuition relative to other programs? Check. Few sources of additional financial aid? Check. These programs know that they have a captive market in all those people who dream of being artists. It's no different than the generic for-profits trying to convince students that there'll be a middle-class career waiting for them when they graduate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This study doesn't determine what amount of that difference is innate. My suspicion is that good artists do have innately better motor skill and procedural memory, and that they also have a stronger innate response to practicing. Just like some people are inherently more muscular and lay down even more muscle than other people, given the same amount of exercise. I have seen many people who have studied art as their life's work, and absolutely love it, but are terrible illustrators in spite of all the time they've spent trying.

Guest Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) My pa told me I have to choose whether I want to keep studying or not, and that means going to university once I'm done with high school (this is my final year) or not. Thing is, I don't know, but I didn't really look into it either to be completely honest as I have done little to no research whatsoever. I only have a vague idea and that'd be going to an art university maybe but even then, no certainties. I'm actually not giving any of this much thought at all. To tell you the truth, I'm just being... A lazy kid leeching on my parents right now. I have to face the fact that I am unconsciously choosing to live on my parents' back. I keep thinking that, shit, this is it, I hit 18 years of age (19 in february), I'm an adult now and have to leave the nest. It's not that I don't want that. Hell the idea excites me, I do want to live on my own, become independent, make new experiences! But at the same time I know that I will have to say goodbye to all those hours of carefreeness I've become so accustomed to in 18 years of life, that it's gonna be all over, that from now to retirement I am going to have to work my ass off. It's time for me to start walking on my own legs. So both because of a lack of direction and because it's easier this way, I choose to live on my parents' back, sleeping in their house, eating their food, using their water while I don't do anything to deserve any of it. I'm a coward. I take solace in at least admitting it and facing the truth, rather than shoving my responsibilities onto someone or something else. At least I'm not like my cunt brother, at least I don't downright steal money from my parents, I don't constantly and shamelessly demand for cash despite having already received the weekly allowance, I don't crash my dad's car because I'm drunk, leaving him to pay thousands of euros to fix the damn thing and forcing him to go to work by public transport instead of in the comfort of his own car, at least I don't fail school several years in a row, at least I do what I'm supposed to fucking do, even if indolently, reluctantly I get the job done when I'm asked to, even if I wanna do completely other things. When my parents ask me if I want to go buy new clothes (the ones I have are years old, at least 3. My shoes are pretty old too) I always say no, first of all because I'm fine with the clothes I already have and secondly because they already do a lot for me without me ever returning anything. I just get decent grades and do chores around the house, I guess, but I've come to an age that they don't seem enough anymore. My dad used to say ''Just do your job and I'm happy''. Well I am and yet he always has to bring up the fact that I spend my entire time in front of this fucking computer... And how stupid he thinks it all is and that I'd be throwing away my youth and yet he doesn't understand that the only people I like are here. Thankfully my dear ma is more understanding but him? I'm sick of him. I don't hate him, I just don't want to be around him. Anyway, I have to leave but I don't know where or how. University or no university? I'll have to figure that out soon. So far I'm watching Machine's thread as they have a similar issue. Maybe I can get something useful outta that one. Maybe. On a related note, Christmas break ends today. Tomorrow I'll go back to the shitty high school I'm in. Goddamn I hate that fucking craphole. What I hate the most about it is that's it utterly uninspiring. I go there and have to sit for 6 hours listening to bored, uninvolving teachers and lessons I don't give a flying fuck about. Are 5 years of high school instead of the 4 you guys have really that necessary? Because I'm hating this by the day. The structure is old, ugly, dirty and depressing, the fellow students are completely uninteresting (best way to describe 'em is saying that they're the ''Facebook kind'' of people), the teachers are unmotivated and therefore perform poorly which translates in poor teaching. I swear to fucking God, I don't think I've had one, ONE single positive thing outta my 5 years of stay in this motherfucking dive. I am so frustrated, I get pissed at the sole thought of having to set foot back in that shithole. I'll let this video sum up my feelings right now, for everything (NSFW, blood & gore) End of the rant/vent. If you read all the way through then I thank you for hearing me out Edit: Do you guys think this deserves a thread of its own? I reckon it probably does.

That's just how statistics work. You can't expect it to be like filling out a skill tree on a video game. Not only that, but college isn't the end. Learning continues throughout your life, no matter what field your in. Especially if you want to grow or in many cases just remain competitive. When it comes to school, what matters is that you get out of it what you want. It's a fine thing to want to get enough skills to land a job from a chosen degree program, but it is neither the one-and-only purpose of any degree program nor is it the only valid reason to pursue a degree. 4 minutes ago, Amiir said: [Titanic Wall of Text] End of the rant/vent.

If you can get away with trying it out, I would definitly recommend giving it a shot. Even if you don't know what you want to do. Even outside of studying, University is a wonderful experience and will help you transition to living on your own without suddenly tossing yourself out into the wide world. It gives you experience with many of the challenges you will face while holding some of them back, helping you to adjust.

Vallium Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) 1 hour ago, Amiir said: [snip] Hm well, I could tell you what I did at your age (funny I didnt knowyou were younger than me x3 Im an old kid). When I was a high school kid I knew I always wanted to work with animals, and I specifically chose veterinarian, after changing my mind a few times. I started out volunteering, and let me tell you people overlook it because its boring free labor but it does help get your foot into life experience easily. Double the fact that I got a scholarship out of that so I had two reasons to do it. That in turn helped me land my first job, and my first and that my second job. So yeah, start at the bottom, preferably somewhere you think you'd like, and dont expect it to be fun all the time even if you do like it. You'll probably have to sacrifice a few saturdays or sundays to free labor rather than sleep and fun if you decide on that. now with college, you wouldnt be alone in not knowing what to major in...I knew even as I was going to college a bunch of kids who were in for general education because they didnt know what they could do yet, either. So if you dont have it figured out by high school, thats okay. College might just be your thing because you choose your class times, classes, and teachers and kids who go to college are more likely to take it seriously since each class costs money, so less dumb kids. And if you have the funds to live on a campus with dorms I highly suggest that, at least for the experience of living elsewhere. With me, I kind of laugh at how past me thought Id be a veterinarian someday, I tend to overshoot my ideas without realizing I really cant do it (or maybe I should tell myself I can do it or something) either way, Im seeking tangible options right now. So theres no shame in seeking alternatives and using past experience anyways when something doesnt work out. ...and you would probably benefit from training in art, no doubt. Though I still hear thats a bit of a monetary journey in itself. TL;DR good luck, I hope that you can learn what to do eventually.

On 1/5/2016 at 3:03 AM, Saxon said: The journal didn't state for what length of time the binder had been worn. Continuing to wear an article that is definitely causing long term respiratory problems and breast deformity is...definitely a bigger problem than the possibility of other people being offended that a woman appears masculine. I suspect that transgender women, who wear binders, do so to make their body conform to their own self image, rather than because they are worried that their safety will be endangered if they are perceived as a masculine woman. I think you mean transgender male or at the very least someone who is presenting as male. either way, part of the reason why a lot of us choose to wear a binder is because our chests are a major source of anxiety or discomfort. the other option, as Vae said, is surgery and that usually takes years of saving up and finding a good doctor. but we know the risks though and we know it's not ideal to wear one forever. but it helps.
