  • Thank you very much! I have to really work at it because I have trouble seeing the big picture as a whole. My process is to focus on minute details, so I start drawing a part of the scene and work out from there. Yesterday in class, my drawing teacher saw me doing that with a bird picture and gave me the recommendation to draw the outside of the whole thing first, so that I could fill it in a lot easier. I tried it, but messed it up. I guess it's my bottom-up mental style πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

  • Same. My ex told everyone that I was abusing her so that they wouldn't believe me when I started coming out about how she was abusing me. I'm so happy to have gotten her out of my life. I feel bad for the two guys married to her sisters. They're nothing but punching bags for those monsters.

  • If it were me, I would love it if my coworker would tell me I stunk. Otherwise, I would internalize why no one wants to be around me and think I'm shitty. My preference would be for them to pull me aside somewhere private and directly tell me.

  • Share away! It's hard to come up with questions about an experience I've never had. What stuck out to you? What was different between your expectations and experiences? What do you think most people don't understand about AmTrak travel?

  • THIS FUCKIN COMMUNITY MAKES ME THINK OF SALTY HARLEY RIDERS THAT HANGOUT AT ALE HOUSE WEARING THEIR LEATHER VESTS WITH THEIR POW/MIA PATCHES, WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THOSE MFERS DODGED THE VIETNAM DRAFT. AROOOOO CRANK THAT HOG FOR POSERSSSS!!!

  • I’d love to do the Am track one day looks like a great way to see it all.

    I have wanted to AmTrak the country for like 18 years now. The thing is it's just not an appealing experience for the cost. A trip from Florida to California would take 120 hrs/4.25 days one-way. That means that someone would need to take 9 days for a round trip if things match up perfectly. The other thing is that tickets can be quite expensive. The same trip is ~$550 one way. So, we'd have someone spending 7 vacation days and $1100 on transportation alone to sit on a train in coach for nearly the entire time without even getting to see their destination. Say you wanted to stay a week in California. There go another 5 vacation days for a total of 12 vacation days spent, with about half of them spent on a train in coach. You'd also have to add in the costs of staying and touring California, which can be fairly cheap if you know someone there or very expensive if you don't.

    Very few people in the US have the time off and the financial means to make this an appealing trip.

  • I haven't seen a true shitpost in a while. This one is great lol

  • yeppers

  • We live in the same autism neighborhood! Central southeastern. I need people. Just quiet ones that don't talk too much unless they're about to drop a serious info dump.

  • wow! I've never noticed, but yeah....it is fitting to how I feel sometimes lol. Thanks for pointing that out :D

    also, thanks for the compliment! I've always been terrible at drawing, but I recently started taking a class, so the praise is encouraging <3

  • lol, thanks! I was actually thinking of framing this piece and placing it right in the middle above the TV where the vanishing point would be :p

  • I have just had it with news lately. It's too sensationalized/clickbait. 99% of the time that a government does something and I hear about it, it was not done secretly. The 1% are when whistleblowers come out like Snowden and out the whole operation.

  • Expensive lawyers also have political hook ups. They go golfing with the local rich people. Their kids are friends with the rich families' friends. And when those people need legal advice, they ask the expensive lawyers for advice. The expensive lawyers then start knowing who is doing what, and more importantly, who's breaking or has broken the law. They can then use this information to ask for a favor to stay quiet.

  • Yeah, it's like I can't focus on anything properly.

  • Done! Thanks :)
