@flowboy 1. This is fine. I suspect that because the leadership position is newer to me, that'll make me way more controlling. 2. This is just how my mind constructs timelines; the bigger parts are how it mentally represents realities through my 6 modalities, each modality made up of sub-modalities that I can place my attention and modify such to see/hear/feel/smell/touch/emote a certain way. I can clearly see my past, present, somewhat my future. When I zoom in and focus on an ideal future outcome, those 5-10 years can feel like 6-12 months, or 1-7 days to me. Zooming out and other sub-modalities related to disassociation has almost the opposite effect to me, that I can view a scene in slow motion and make that 1 min feel like a week. I was contextualizing on being and becoming an Art Director, and that's an ideal to me. However, worst case scenario being that I won't ever achieve the Art Director position, that's fine to me, as long as I'm still able to draw and make art, and align that somehow with my career or job, that's fine too. Also, I'm recently playing around with making visual novels, and seeing if that could potentially be lucrative to me in the long run. Addressing the bullet points: 1. Yes, I like to manipulate as it's a habit I picked from chess and other games I play, and still am working to unpack this. 2. Yes, a leadership role is more stressful to me. I can say that, because of 'teamwork' assignments I did in my schooling, it wasn't fun, and found that then the best way for me leading members of my team, is to smile, and clearly put them to their assigned tasks only, and don't bug me until it's finished or make more apparent my displeasure. Being part of a team is less stressful as I just do whatever tasks are given, and that gives me more breathing room. I'm just not the over achiever type of personality. My introversion is strongest the more people are involved. 3. I also don't have a positive view of salespeople and marketing, which could contribute to my negative view of networking and pitching. Yes, probably more limiting beliefs to unpack.

I'm posting this to know, for those that have watched the whole video, your thoughts about it. Also, extreme synchronicity, as when I've been freestyle rapping, words like 'exquisite' and 'sublime' are part of my main rhyme scheme 'I', 'u', along with 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o'. BTW, nice thumbnail. Is that from MidJourney too?

LOL! Tik Tok might get sued after all: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/tiktok-could-face-27m-fine-for-endangering-children/ar-AA12freP?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=5632e8730c1b4edbafc86ac81f83a17c

Jesus Christ, I was being too nice in the past when I said that Tik Tok isn'y my thing, and that it's a waste of time for me. I didn't know Tik Tok would be as fucked up as this: Say what you will about Donald Trump, but I have to agree with him here when he really didn't like this website, besides it being from China and that Hua Wei was possibly using this website to gather more intelligence/make the western younger generation dumber. This website is certified illegal and should be severely restricted or taken off the internet and fined. This is absolutely unacceptable; I wouldn't encourage my worst enemies to spend time there. Your thoughts? Topic too triggering?

Mega thread of CD's that you love to watch. I'll be posting on this weekly or less if I discover, either on YouTube or on Netflix: Love Between Fairy and Devil. Once Upon A Time In Lingjian Mountain.

@Starlight321 Another video of this Grand master Wolf, giving a basic explanation of Psi abilities.

@bammy32 Generally, if part of you providing value looks like a making a video talking about topics like Leo, or if you're making an animation that features spiritual themes but different context and elements of the story, or you're making a webtoon, or you're making music songs or rap songs that about anything like dissing spiritual topics and making fun of some concepts, or whatever you're online work is if you're solo, freelance or indie, ALWAYS post in your own website first, before posting in other social media platforms. Always make sure your main source of income/salary is IRL, or your own website. Otherwise, you always find yourself tip toeing around their policies, while stunting your creativity and range of expressions possible. Also goes without say, develop a big and compelling vision that is unshakable, that if people start falsely accusing you, and copywrite striking you, and try cancelling you, you can persevere through those BS and continue your work.

This video shows the reactions of two cave dive experts reacting to Palawan compression divers. Observe how each resolve their shock and confusion:

Fishing industries, especially from the western hemisphere, over fished in areas around Palawan, that these fishermen turn to compression diving. Not only is it ridiculous, and shows one of many negative aspects of hyper capitalism preying on foreign territories of their resources, but also how far some groups will go to in order to survive and feed themselves or their families. What are your thoughts:

@Aaron p Yeah, amazing...a robotic program demonstrating its visual understandings of GOD and spirituality, in five minutes. Meanwhile, humanity still busy in Tik Tok...

In my view, parts of the journalist's view in the video are a bit sexist and racist, or ethnocentrically negative towards western male/female dating dynamics, comparing them to Asian culture's way of dating. Classic stage blue idealism of dating and stage orange/green shadow of dating in particular. Maybe the Journalist was a victim of getting rejected or dumped by a player? I don't know so many questions. ? In my opinion, though, men on average will be crazier than women, and be more misogynistic and sexist than women. Even men on average will have more edgy behavior when driving cars and get into more accidents on average than women. Broadly speaking men take far more risks than women, and women on average are more cautious than men which explains why men have more car accidents, despite in my personal experiences I've been a passenger to a few women that drive that are too cautious, or can't manipulate the gas pedal smoothly, which made me feel like I'm on a boat.

I don't know what else to title this post, so I'll stick to it. What are your thoughts about the view expressed in the video below? While the internet has made it easier to hook up through online dating, has the internet also influence male/female attraction?

@Myioko Yeah, I know this guy! He's pretty good at drawing forms from imagination and making them believable. That might be for later, but I'm thinking more like being a Mangaka, like the guy that made Berserk or something to do with graphic novels or visual novels, for example. Or a cover book artist.

@flowboy 1. For me, breaking into a field would be to have so much value, mastery and skill that I would simply stand out, on just those skills alone...ideally. 2. Might be, but being an art director is into the future, 20 plus years. Right out, working as a team leader is difficult for me. Maybe, for example, I want to build an epic visual novel that's take me, if solo, 10 years to complete, or in a team, 5-8 years as I want iit to be extremely good and worth the purchase in stream, and I'm gonna be mostly in charge for the aesthetics, the character and environment art and the entire story, but if I still suck at coding other aspects like music, mini games, then I can delegate when necessary. That's what I sort of mean. 3. big obstacles for me, are the finance and contacts and networking, among others.

@flowboy Nice, your friend sounds like he's doing well for himself, or herself. I'm not sure that I'd call what I did to myself as a constructed imaginary boundary, but I do have a timeline of myself, and I could see events going forward and backwards from this point, like a complex ruler that truncates in the past and in the future. So, this specific timeline, I see myself as a millionaire artist with lots of energy, confidence and proactivity, that is being an art director, or some other role in a studio making art. I was viewing each role in first person for a while, detailing those experiences, and I then switch to 3rd person viewing, increasing the distance and time from that ideal goal, to create motivations to bridge that gap from now to there. I don't see myself being an art director within 1-5 years, without behaving in manipulative and shady ways, but I see that if I kept on improving my skills, I would be closer to that in like 10-15 years later. I'm an introvert, and leading people isn't my skillset, nor am I am interested in commanding around people. The image and other techniques generate motivation for me to keep on practicing art, ideally, I would be solo or freelance earning 6-7 figures.

Found this, and it's a gold mine for musicians and song writers out there:

Short and simple video about bias: Not as complex or lengthy as Leo's, and different in presentation style, but thought provoking, nonetheless. Thoughts? Wrong subforum?

@Space Yes, I am still continuously looking for advice. If I absolutely have to pick one above all, then it might be likely comic art. because honestly in my free time I draw comic like characters and environments and have more visual experience and memories with that style, also thanks to playing video games I can also draw like that. It would be nice to get into concept art as well, because I can gesture draw quick character and environments. When you say brief projects, you mean something like short stories, or small projects?

@Jacobsrw Nice! Sounds like you would be going into graphic novels, or visual novels if you combine the literature philosophy with realistic to surrealistic images. In your case, is it more about writing or the image making?

@Epikur Thanks, Epikur. You're really epic.

@Leo Gura Yes, many people can still be minor geniuses in their one or few fileds that they have had years to decades of being involved in.

Why is Tik Tok created in the first place?

I'm more interested as to why he is named Dr. Fauci. Was he a free mason? Made a Faustian pact in his mother's basement? Dejected stressed out face, because he screwed up first base when unbuttoning GF's blouse? Who else knew, Mickey Mouse, or Winnie the Pooh too? How could he get away with putting people through mental hula hoops? Is he a foul degenerate? Was it when he bedded with Mau's after party? So many questions, so little answers.

@The Mystical Man Why is it called Lolita?
