Shit, I’m hostile now.
Legit, I’m usually nice to people, even though I hate people at large. But I don’t trust any motherfucker at my back until they’ve proven they can be trusted.
That’s how I would handle things in a crisis like that. Short term, low trust, mutually understood cooperation, but with safety valves.
No more or less flawless than windows, Android, or the iOS stuff.
It’s different flaws.
“There, wolf”
That’s a perfect example!
All I can say is that people be trippin. When I have asked people why they call them that, the usual is “I dunno, I guess they look like pumpkins, that’s just what my family called them, so I do too”.
I suspect that it comes down to nobody really remembering why a bug is called its colloquial name, nor bothering to ask or explain, and after while, the mistake becomes the norm. Kids mislabel stuff a lot, and spread things faster than they do germs. Easy for weird things to slip in.
We didn’t have a single term around here.
Most common was punkin bug, or pumpkin bug for you damn yankees.
But, roly-poly, tomato bug, and pill bug were all in common usage.
What’s interesting to me is that they were also called doodle bugs, despite a completely different bug also being called that. Doodle bug is also used for ant lions around here; indeed, that’s what they’re called almost exclusively.
They were both called that for the same reason, the little doodly tracks they leave in fine sand and soil, though if a punkin bug is on that, they’re going elsewhere because they don’t really like those conditions.
Well, you absolutely have control over splatters once you understand the way they happen. A liquid at a given viscosity moving at a given speed will have predictable, but minutely variable, outcomes.
In other words, every raindrop hits in a predictable way, and the only reason you can’t predict exactly how the resulting splash will look is a lack of ability to make the same predictions on a molecular level. But, if you could see and hold in the human brain, the outcome is absolutely predictable even at that level; we just can’t pull it off without outside assistance.
Look at airbrushing. It’s tightly controlled spatter. You’re using air to make the drops so small that we can predict and control the outcome so that it can be used to give a range of end products. But if you get in really tight to what’s going on, it’s high speed splattering.
I would also disagree that a happy accident can’t have depth visually. But I think you likely misread how I was emphasizing, so it isn’t really useful to say more than that.
However, Judge for yourself if he was bullshiting about his degree of intent in his efforts. It isn’t like there aren’t other interviews and information about what he did, on both technical and analytical levels. Him saying he has intent doesn’t mean he’s speaking truth, nor would it being truth change whether or not one agrees with his intent, or how successful one feels he was in achieving it.
But he at least came up with an explanation of intent, and his movements when working are controlled enough to indicate he at least thought he was working with intent, and isn’t that the same thing as intent on a practical level?
Eh, short term it’s no big deal. Teeth are durable as hell and won’t get fucked up by anything that minor if it’s a rare thing. But, the more you do it, the more damage accumulates over time. A few times a year over decades? Never gonna notice it.
A few times a month, and it’ll be a decade or two before it would be a problem.
A few times a week, and you’d better have dental coverage and/or good income, because you’re looking at a few years before it starts showing up as carries. Less if circumstances are bad, or you didn’t start out with very good teeth.
There’s also the fact that keeping in the habit of brushing after eating stays a habit better if you don’t deviate from it without an important reason. In my mind, if you’re awake enough to eat, you’re awake enough to brush afterward. If you aren’t awake enough to brush, then you probably shouldn’t be eating either. Fucks with digestion and metabolism. It’s better to just stay on track and skip the snack, if you dig me.
But nah, if it’s a rare thing, you’ll take more damage from a soda than a single night skipping brushing after a midnight nosh. It’s all about the acids.
Now, if you can’t be bothered to at least swish out with some water, I’d say you’ve got worse things to worry about because you can do that on your way back to bed, swallow it and take zero extra effort beyond the mouthful of water. If your energy is that low, or there’s some other impediment involved, focus on that.
Pollock hits harder in person tbh.
Prints and photos don’t really work; it ends up looking flat and empty. But in person, there’s more “depth” in both a literal and figurative sense. You can see more of the intent put into the methodology.
Mind you, I agree with the idea that he’s over hyped. He wasn’t exactly breaking new ground, and there’s plenty of other artists that explored abstract painting with more satisfying and effective results.
But I don’t think it’s accurate to call it shit either. As much as people love to say it, no a kindergartener couldn’t do it. Even high schoolers have trouble making something that looks similar enough to carry the same visual effect. Some art students at a collegiate level can’t.
Turns out you do have to have some degree of development in your techniques at the very least to get the same results, no matter how much raw talent you have.
Now, don’t ask me if I really like his stuff. I mean, I’m going to say it anyway, but still. My take on his body of work is that he fully explored the “drip” technique way before he quit doing it, and likely could have stopped after the first one because the only real differences between them amount to nothing more than the difference between most hotel and doctors’ office wall hangings. You see one, you’ve seen them all.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t doubt that he got something more than money out of the process. I make bland and basic art myself, and IDGAF about the results as much as the enjoyment of making. Every art student I’ve ever known gets super into the process of creating and that’s a wonderful thing; dissecting what they’re doing as they do it.
But that value isn’t something that carries on beyond the process itself.
How immersed?
Tye sphincter can and will resist pressure, but only so much. You won’t run into that kind of pressure freediving, or even anywhere you could use a wet suit afaik, but you get deep enough and it would become an issue.
Or, if you’re immersed somewhere with water moving heavily, you could get breaches in your breeches I suppose.
The problem with the idea is that it only functions as a thought experiment. Not that that’s a bad thing per se, it just makes it less useful. You can’t really gain much from it because it breaks down in the real world completely since that perfect state doesn’t and can’t exist on a physical level. Bodies and brains have a built in drive that forces the choice, even in the absence of rational decision-making processes.
Even insects will go after the highest chance of continued survival, which is usually going to be water since its reserves are used up faster. In a circumstance where a creature is so perfectly balanced between death by starvation and death by dehydration, they’d be radically dehydrated and likely non functional to begin with.
So it only works as a way of understanding internal paradoxes of thought, not real world situations.
Not that that isn’t obvious for the most part, but I think it kinda needs saying that it isn’t a literal or realistic scenario, it’s a tool of thought.
Yeah, I’d be looking for someone else too. I don’t believe in being a slave to a clock, but he’s just not matching your needs and expectations even when he’s there, so it just isn’t a good pairing. A trainer and client have to be on the same page for them to be able to really guide you.
Sorry you’re working so hard and not being supported right. There’s plenty of room for a relaxed trainer, but that’s not what you need to meet your goals. Sucky position to be in. If it wasn’t prepaid, I’d say just walk entirely since it’s a recurring issue.
Good thing is that trainers tend to have a fairly high turnover rate, so he may end up not being there long.
IDGAF about five minutes in most circumstances. There’s just too much shit that matters way more.
If it was something that was a dealbreaker metrics because it fucked other things up for me, I’d want to know what the deal was, communicate that my needs weren’t being met, and decide to stay a member/customer based on that, but it’s not something that would bother me.
I refuse to be a fucking slave to the clock on my phone, and wouldn’t insist anyone else be either. Back before network clocks, we all did fine without and nobody died.
I mean, no update?
Amen to that. Keeping a sense of open communication is vital while kids are going to be experimenting and exploring. Not just their bodies amd sexuality, but definitely for those.
Reading on a phone is like fucking on a balance beam. Yeah, you can do it, but you end up straining a lot and not having much fun.
I read on tablets, be they eink dedicated devices or just regular android tablets.
It’s a little weird for sure. But the whole “do not shove things into you that aren’t fingers or designed for it” conversation is a lot less disturbing than the potential disturbance of that hospital visit. For that matter, it applies to the “don’t shove yourself or rub yourself against anything not designed for it or on/in a consenting and legal human” as well.
I’ve known a few people that suffered injury from humping stuff that wasn’t wise.
But you fuck one goat…
