@Michael569 thanks for your input, we'll have to consider that His students are in the range of 18-22 and up, most of them say they want to be artists, but only about a third of them actually mean it, the rest don't even undestand what that means or they just say it to justify their presence there? Even those who try, fail to reach the standarts of the previous generations of students. They have more freedom than ever and yet fail to see what they want and move towards it. I think this might be a global problem of the younger generation, i feel it in myself as well, no matter how much i fight it. Even the standart of the Academy of Repin in Petersburg is dropping, which was practically THE standart. Ive seen it and heard from their teachers when I was there for practice, the problems are similar.

My partner has been teaching traditional art for more than 10 years and he has noticed a steady decline in students' willingness to learn. It's like they are doing everything to avoid actual work cause its too boring and hard, to the point that students started complaining to higher ups that their teacher "demands too much of them" even though his teaching style didn't change, if anything he became softer over the years, now he can't even say the truth sometimes because pointing out one little mistake discourages or offends the student It's obviosly that damn phone, I would know, Im struggling too sometimes And he has been asking them, and judging by their answers the phone is their second brain, while the first one atrophes. Its probably impossible to get the same results he was getting with his earlier students because he cant force awareness on them, but there have to be ways to nudge them in the right direction. If any of you guys have any ideas or resources it would be greatly appreciated. How would you adapt to the situation?

I was sleepy after both Moderna shots and had a slight temperature rise next day, just for a couple of hours tho. The worst thing was I couldn't swim in the pool

It shouldn't really matter. But from my experience people are born like this. My first crush was a girl and I didn't even realize until I started to compare the love I felt then to the love I feel now in a heterosexual relationship. I barely had any lgbt influences, but I wasn't homophobic either. maybe people could transcend their preferences at some point (doesn't necessarily change who they sleep with) but i don't know how that would work yet, i didn't have a preference to begin with lol

this is the anthem they made us sing everyday before classes in school and college. this only made many of us resent the authorities more.

i feel like the makers of these songs are more like an orange/green but they are fighting against a red/blue government. there are english subtitles
