Giver mig det samme vibe som da jeg var lille og der var den her buschauffør, der bare hadede børn. Nogle gange tvang hun os til at betale voksenbiletter selvom vi var børn og andre gange ignorerede hun os og kørte forbi os når vi stod ved busstoppestedet.
Nogle mennesker bliver helt fjollede når de får en mikroskopisk mængde magt xD
More like, it favors giving the money all the people who make a living off of what the artist produces.
Its like a factory. The artists are the workers at the bottom who actually produce and make the art work. Then there are the managers who promote the art and their bosses who sit at the top, running the factory. It is always those who benefit off of other people’s hard work who get to enjoy the fruits of other people’s labor.
Artists are why publishing houses exist and the reason why editors have a job in the first place, but it is the editors who drive nice cars and live in nice houses while the artists who draw and write the very books the publishers sell, get to enjoy getting paid so little that they can’t make a living off of it.
If you look in places like the animation industry, you can point to any of the big animators who helped make Disney big in the 90s and you will see that none of them can get work. None. New animators have no chance. Artists who have been in the business for 20 or 30 years, who are responsible for the movies that defined a generation are jobless and if they get a job, it is the kind of entry level gig that you’d normally only give to a recent graduate.
Illustration had been fucked for decades. They are getting paid the same as in the 80s, but not adjusted for inflation. More often than npt they get offered jobs for exposure and when they land gigs that pays, it will be two months work for one week’s pay. Asking for more money is not an option. There are no unions. All they can do is work faster to maybe make the low pay worth it. Meanwhile their editors live in gleaming mansions.
You might end up being one of the lucky few scammers in fine art who become rich people’s favourite, but that is a completely different world from the commercial art industry. People work themselves into early graves. There’s a reason why Berserk’s crestor died in his 50s.
Back problems, wrist problems, eye problems, weight problems. And these are passionate souls, which is why it is so easy to take advantage of them and their skills. Most people in the animation industry burn out before they’re 40. You don’t see many middle aged artists in the industry today. Some end up teaching. Most leave the industry all together when those who benefit from their hard work has sucked every bone dry.
The higher ups get fat bonuses. They live the great life. Not a creative bone in their body, but they make a living on the piles and piles of passionate souls who will be eaten up and spit out with nothing to show for it.
That is the life of the artist.
The very, very few ones who rise to the top are often those who have a rich family member or spouse to finance their artistic endeavors. Illusteators, painters, authors, animators, you name it. More often than not, the ones who do well and are successful, have no real financial problems in their lives because their loved ones got them covered.
It’s easy to make an amazing piece of art when you don’t have to worry about money.
I’m over here trying to imagine the possibility that Jesus didn’t have a beard.
Did he yell kamehameha?
Der er en bruger som ikke hører til vores fællesskab, der af og til kommer ind og neddutter alle tråde og skrider igen. Altid den samme bruger. Kommenterer aldrig. Kunne godt være vedkommende, men fællesskabet er også vokset nok på det sidste at nye folk er kommet til, som har en anden politik omkring neddutninger end os andre, så hvem ved?
Det er mest for at sige at nogle brugere på lemmy tilbringer rigtig meget tid med at neddutte tråde i fællesskaber, hvor de aldrig selv deltager. Nærmest som en hobby, vil jeg tro. 🤷♀️
Fedt mand! Håber jeres fodbold-date bliver hyggelig :D
Jeg er selv sådan en, der lige snuser til folk i en periode før jeg tør tage skridtet. Ind til videre kan jeg godt lide at de er meget hensynsfulde når de går ind og ud af deres havelåge, som grænser lige op til vores soveværelse. De gamle naboer smækkede løs med lågen når de skulle ind og ud. Tror ikke de tænkte over at vi kunme høre det, hvilket er noget jeg selv kunne overse. De nye, er super stille indtil videre.
Det eneste negative er nok at de åbenbart ryger rigtig meget hash eller sådan noget. Jeg selv er lidt ligeglad på det område, men min kæreste har nogle meget personlige grunde til at foragte hash, så han reagerer meget hurtigt når nogen ryger omkring ham. Tror hashrygning og dårlig bilkørsel er de to hurtigste måder at få min kæreste til at foragte dig. Han er et af de mest åbne og tolerante mennesker jeg kender, men de to ting er simpelthen hans kryptonit.
Kram til dig og håber at du har en herlig uge! 🤗
Sadly, no. I found out about this stuff last year and a billion things have happened in my personal life since, so I cannot remember where i found the info.
Good of you to fact check, though!
The difference between tiny countries like mine my and the russian and american military is that they can afford to be incompetent. We can’t.
Just leave. I left in February last year. I made a post on facebook announcing that I’d be leaving the following week and that if people wanted to stay in contact with me, they could find me on my email, on Signal or call or text me if they had my number. I proceeded to gradually delete things manually. I am under no illusion that my pictures and posts aren’t saved somewhere in some database despite me deleting them, but I did it as a ritual and also in order to “pass time” while I waited for most of my contacts to have seen my message.
I found a tutorial on how to delete your facebook profile (this is one of the newer walkthroughs, and yes, it is fucking ridiculous), because that button is hidden several layers deep into your page so that only the most persistent mf’ers can find it while most people may go look and end up thinking “urgh, too much of a bother” and then just leave it for a later that never comes.
I was genuinely surprised that there were anyone who followed me to Signal, but people did and now, a year and a half later, I have grown a kinda long list of friends and family on my Signal and have heard that some of them have started using Signal as an alternative to other messaging and video call services with their loved ones. Most of these people were very iffy about joining Signal in the beginning. They lowkey feared it because it was new to them and they had heard bad stories from the news, but after learning how to use it and realize that there is nothing scary about it, they all seem pretty chill with it.
I am tired of telling my friends to stop using Instagram.
Don’t do that. Tell them where they can find you if they want to stay in touch. :D If you want a bird to come to you of its own free will, you have to leave the window open instead of chasing it through and closing it. Respect its autonomy and right to choose, and it will be way more open to come to you.
Any Recommended Stratergy To make them ditch Meta ?
Again, you cannot make anyone ditch Meta. It is a misguided way to think of it. I do understand that a lot of discomfort comes with being the first to do something within your social sphere. That is also what made me hesitant to leave facebook for several years. That and I didn’t know of any alternative to messenger which was the only mode of contact I had with my best friend, who lives on a different continent than mine. The minute I learned about Signal and she agreed to join it, I was gone.
My friend herself hasn’t left Meta. None of my friends and family have left Meta and I will never tell them to do so. At most, I will tell them why I left. However, I have noticed how some are starting to use Signal more than messenger. One of my family members prefers Signal to Messenger because they like the video call option better on Signal than on Messenger.
I have lost touch with a ton of people by leaving, btw. A ton. I don’t care much. I don’t see it as a loss. If I feel the urge to stay in contact with someone, I will reach out. Sometimes they reach out to me out of the blue. I like that.
I also like that when I get updates from friends and family, it isn’t from some feed on some platform, but from their own mouths.
I don’t have FOMO. I don’t feel left out. It was scary to leave initially, because you have been used to having access to everything, but life with less access is actually nice. I like that it has become a tiny bit harder to stay up to date on what’s going on around me. It has been rewarding.
It’s been a year and a half for me and I am currently reading more books, watching more movies and I feel more present in my own life. I barely remember what it is that I actually “lost” by leaving. Not much, other than a level of stress that I didn’t really know was there until I shut down my profiles. Highly recommend! As long as you get into the mindset of accepting that you cannot control what other people do nor should you.
It becomes worse when you learn the back story of why he sent a tesla into space.
Musk did to tesla what he did to literally every other business venture he’s had:
Sees talented people, buys their company, fires or kicks out everybody, takes over and if he can get away with it: takes credit for other people’s inventions.
In the case of tesla, he took over the company and kicked out the founder/inventor of these electric car models, snubbed and barred him from having any access to his own creation and as a final petty move, he sent the very car, the founder was owed in his contract, into space. And there was nothing the founder could do about it, becauae elon gets away with everything.
The only thing Elon has “invented” is the cyber truck. He was also behind the genius idea of electric car locks that has cost people their lives because they couldnt escape their cars. Every idea he has, is purely madw because his toddler brain thinks it is either funny or cool and he is rich enough to get away with it.
But yeah,the tesla in space was a literal middle finger to the man who created those cars because elon is a petty, jealous bitch who can’t handle that he isn’t smart enough to invent something this cool. Toddler logic.
Him taking over twitter was akin to the tesla in space. He was petty enough to spend the money to humiliate and fire all the people he didn’t like and turn their platform into even more shit (personally I have always hated twitter with a passion, but not as much as elon hated it).
He cannot create anything. He can only leech off of others and punish them for hqving the talents and intelligence he doesn’t have. He is a deeply insecure, pathetic little boy who is stuck in a perpetual hunt for glory so that his lame daddy might actually notice him and be proud of him for once. That’s literally also the only reason he cares about Mars. His daddy named him after the massiah in a literal nazi sci-fi book where a guy named Elom colonizes Mars.
I dove into this prick’s past shortly after he did the hitler salute and everything about Elon and his life sounds like ridiculous fiction.
That or like rrrrrrrwwwwwwwwwwmmmmmm if they are passenger planes high in the sky.
As a Dane, I will tell you two things, good sir/madam:
1 How dare you compare us to the Dutch in anyway? It is not remotely the same! Dutch sounds like choking on chicken bones, big deal! Danish sounds like throat cancer mixed with sea sickness. IT IS NOT COMPARABLE! D:<
2 You are a Swede and if you deny it, you are lying, bish.
Det mærker man virkelig også når man læser/lytter til bøgerne. Jeg er på vej igennem Equal Rites og synes virkelig at det er her at hans fortællinger og karakterer begynder at tage rigtig form og bliver meningsfulde. The Color of Magic og The Light Fantastic er også gode, men de er meget mere userøse og usammenhængende til sammenligning. Det er ret sjovt at lytte til dem og sammenligne dem med mine ti år gamle noter og på en og samme tid føle, at jeg er blevet meget klogere og meget dummere siden dengang.
Godt!! Fy-faen og fuck dem!
Vi har også været så heldige at få et godt forhold til nabofamilien overfor, så hvis vi kan få vores rækkehus-nabo med i puljen, så begynder det sguda at ligne noget! Jeg skal lige overkomme min generthed først. :p
Ja, jeg håber fanme også at det er et tegn på at tingene vender. Jeg er pessimistisk optimistisk, hvis man kan sige det sådan. Har oplevet lidt for mange gange de sidste tre års tid at tro at NU vender det og bliver endelig bedre, og så bliver alting meget værre umiddelbart efter xD Jeg gider ikke blive sådan en sortseer, der tror at alting bare er pis og at der ikke er noget håb, men må indrømme at de sidste tre år virkelig har sat den del af min personlighed på prøve. :') Så nu ser vi. Jeg prøver bare at være glad i nuet og nyde at nogle ting i det mindste går i en eller anden positiv retning! Regner ikke med noget, men håber at det holder! :p
Kæmpe respekt herfra! Det betaler sig også i sidste ende at vise folk, der højest sandsynligt er blevet tabt på gulvet hele livet, at man virkelig er der for dem og virkelig vil dem! Men puha, det må være hårdt! Jeg ville ønske, som du, at jeres tilgang var standarden. Jeg kan stadig ikke fatte, hvor meget hjælp og støtte jeg bare fik serveret på et sølvfad da jeg endte i kræftpakken, mens at mine oplevelser med hjælp til psyken mere eller mindre var en pruttepude på enhver stol jeg satte mig i, haha. Det er simpelthen så ringe. Især fordi det i sidste ende er dyrere for samfundet at ignorere mennesker, der er i ægte nød og måske ender i kriminalitet af en eller anden grad eller bliver ofre for det eller får livslange sygdomme, som de skal rutineindlægges for på afvænningsafdelinger og hvad ved jeg. Det er bare så latterligt at jeg kan få en knude i min pat og så er der ikke grænser for, hvor meget hjælp jeg kan få gratis. Jeg kan faktisk få gratis samtaler med psykologer og eksperter inde for kræft om hvordan jeg har det, hvis jeg gider. GRATIS?? Men en eller anden stakkel, der er meget røvpulet af livet i årtier skal selv finde ud af det hele. Der er ikke nogle søde sygeplejersker, der ringer dem op og minder dem om at de har en tid klokken pap på torsdag på denne adresse. Jeg kommer aldrig til at forstå det, så helt seriøst, respekt til jer, der knokler for de mennesker, der bliver tabt og glemt. Folk som jer burde være standarden - også bare så I ikke knækker på det når I er så få.
Er rigtig glad for at høre at det hjalp dig at åbne op om det herinde! Er sikker på at vi er en del, der gerne vil lytte/læse og støtte dig når det halter! Psh, skrev jeg juleoptimist? Mine julenøkker er åbenbart ved at slippe ud. Prøver at holde mig i skindet indtil vi som minimum rammer november, men så kommer det træ krademe op! Ellers bliver det sgu for træls. Holder I jer i skindet indtil sidst i december eller er I den samme psykopat som mig, der har BRUG for at det træ kommer op halvanden måned i forvejen for overhovedet at overleve vinteren? For mig handler det ikke engang om JUL-jul, men om lyset. Kan fucking ik det der pismørke. Jeg bliver adfærdsvanskelig.
Kram herfra!
haha, takker xD Jeg har mistet en smule finmotorik, som nok skal komme igen når jeg har trænet det lidt op, men det er nok kun mig, der kan se forringelsen af mine evner i forhold til hvordan de plejede at være, hehe.
What if Jesus was one og those dudes who can’t grow a full beard? We will never know
