"What are you working on?"

Nothing.  I'm completely wasting the company's time.  Sitting around playing on my phone rather than looking up part numbers or whatever.

Look, I get it, you want to know, but can you, possibly, for once, trust me to do what needs doing without asking what I'm doing???  (And yes, the quips about me "playing on my phone" are indeed taken the "wrong" way by me.  I know you don't trust me, despite years of working fine and getting to know exactly what I'm doing.  That much is obvious, and repeated regularly.)

People tend to be fallible and tend to notice odds and ills more consistently, sadly. And remember them, also; people have especially good memories for the negativity they see.

 

Although there's the saying "never say never," since you never know when you'd hear or see something nice. Like how - based off of your interactions which you frequently describe in your blog - you're always there for your close ones, even when not at your best haha.

Yep, basically it means "I am incapable of articulating my position in a coherent and logical way so I will just pretend I know what the hell I am talking about and pretend that I am better than you".

I feel similarly about people who outright label themselves with a virtue (IE: "I'm cool/honest/smart/etc.") because if it's true, then I would expect you to trust that your actions convey the trait naturally, without the need to convince anyone. But specifically about trust, I appreciated that Aladdin was a rare occasion where a character asked another if they trusted them instead of telling them to. "Do you trust me?" was even used to draw a connection between Jasmine's experience with both Aladdin and a Prince Ali.

Tell them: "I'll think about it.  Hey, it's the thought that counts!" Then don't go. 

"Happy Holidays"  Fuck you and your holidays.  They don't mean a thing other than "Buy, Buy, Buy!" and "Spend, Spend, Spend!" anymore, anyways.

"Have a blessed day."  The mind boggles.  What the fuck is that and what does it even mean?  Never mind, I don't want to know.

Ingrate hagglers telling me an Art or handcrafted assembly I made isn't worth the price I'm asking.

 

(This turned into a rant haha.)

 

Spoiler

I go by two types of exchanges, trade or monetary buy/sale, and when I trade there can be two types of value I'd account for semi-individually. "Trading" is, well, trading something of similar value, the difference in the kind of trade is as follows: Trade something of sentimental value or monetary value matching that which I express or the price I normally give during a purchase/sale exchange.

 

Sounds nebulous, I know. And naïve, I guess. Which is why there's usually a lot of wiggle room as sentimental value is honestly unquantifiable, or at least difficult to put a "number" of sorts on, it's also worth noting I don't open swap-trades to everyone, mostly to people who I've been exchanging with often enough to get to know them and know if they're genuine. (So that I at least better know whether they're pulling stories out of their arse or not. And just swapping random baubles for my stuff, I usually have a sense for whether the attachment is real or not, though.)

 

If we go by more standard buy/sale, I include the price of the material and critique my current skills' worth as applied in making the piece, tap at a few prices for it in my head to figure out what price I'm most certain defines my current skills, etc. If it's something with long-lasting tools, I don't include the tool's price in any way, although if the tool is also a material like with sticks of charred coal, I only add the worth of a single stick to the material cost if it's been used in its entirety for the make. I also add a little extra as token for my attachment, of course... Can't help it.

 

Anyway, I usually let my potential clients know we can make trade like that or more conventionally, so they can come browse and either ask me for the sentimental or monetary price then buy, negotiate or come back with something later and swap or negotiate.

 

Sometimes there's back and forth - haggling - comparing worths and such, whether sentimental or monetary. Haggling which I'm open to, it can take a few days, or just be resolved on the spot but I like discussing prices and worth so long as their sway makes sense, helps deepen wisdom, when trading stories attached to objects, how they affected and maybe still affect us, and how those objects are of greater, similar or lesser value to other pieces'. I get to learn about other people and how lives can take twists and turns on their way.

 

What I won't stand for is when a client tell me outright "It's not worth this much, you're trying to scam me, it should be much lower" - I made the piece, I'm an artist that can get very attached to her makes and especially so when I deem them an explicit worth. If you set foot in my domain, which is both my Home and the stem supporting my Art; which is my haven of candor as I open myself to you on a deep level to express something's worth, in my eyes, then offer prices I deem honest fits for my prizes and not because I want to suck bags out of your marrow.

 

If you set foot in such a place and paraphrase that my given price, therefor my attachment to a piece, is inherently of lesser worth than I myself deem it without proposing a comparative set of reasons for why, against the reasons that build up the price I give and how they don't justify it completely, there's many doors to go through but you'll reach an exit at some point and I won't guide you out.

 

I'm being genuine, if you can't match that, well, it's a sad dog-eat-dog world you impose on yourself.

 

I can bear insults but certain kinds shouldn't be uttered, the fairest payback for denying my existence is your wasted time as there's nothing more valuable than time for beings counting days 'til their grave, so it's my vengeance that you bothered wasting time for a few days only to leave empty handed. Mine wasn't and that's solace.

 

It's not hard to respect another person's experiences, you just have to not discard their impact on them, their influence - their worth in how it adds to the sum of that person's being.

 

If you're just looking for cheap stuff, go make your own, you might either uncover a hidden talent, or you'll see it'll be as deep as your being's essence, as cheap as your fledgling and likely underdevelopped skills and artistic style, although nowadays you don't even have to make it yourself when you want piss poor quality art without soul, you can have AIs to do it, the majority of what it outputs challenges even Eldritch Abominations...

(Clever.)

 

Eh well, I'll be pedantic saying this but I think that whilst true for a lot of people, there's still a decent amount of people whose practice of the festivities retains the (per se) "wholesomeness" of festivities and holidays. Sure there's purchases made but the main aspect isn't the gifts, it's the attention, the care that is shown towards one's close ones.

 

For instance, my family's household has been residing at my Beloved & I's for two months now (celebrating Hallow's Eve and staying through December for christmas) and we've done some gift sharing in that time but nothing major. Mostly trinkets and useful things, like, I gave one of my favourite mechanical pencils for drawing and writing to my little sister because she herself has been drawing and writing lately. Gifts speak more than thoughts, whilst deeds are more telling than gifts. Just today I managed to convince the twins to climb Garnet, Our Haflinger, who they were afraid of for some reason and it was priceless to see them having such uninhibited and simple fun.

 

The simple fact that we're united from across the sea is gift enough to begin with, we enjoy our time together on Earth whilst we can. There's still people out there who value memories over momentary material dealings.

> "They are only kids ..." while they do nasty things, hurt others, and even kill. Being young doesn't release us from being responsible for our acts. My Prince used to say: "If our children who are 4 and 5 learned to be responsible for their words and acts (rewarded for good ones and punished for bad ones) how much more teens and youngsters have to be responsible for their words and acts. That's why "they are only kids" is a shitty excuse for their mischief.

"That fictional character's build is unrealistic." At the very least, when companies use body scans, they can silence this mindless refrain (as if going out into the world beyond one's highly insular conclaves would not already prove as much).

Vor 16 Minuten sagte FauxFurry:

„Der Körperbau dieser fiktiven Figur ist unrealistisch.“ Zumindest können Unternehmen, wenn sie Körperscans verwenden, diesen sinnlosen Refrain zum Schweigen bringen (als ob es nicht bereits beweisen würde, in die Welt jenseits der stark abgeschotteten Konklaven hinauszugehen).

 

 

 

I worked in the fashion industry for a few years... I "assembled" various collections of underwear and other erotic clothing for a small company in Berlin (Germany) (the material was latex... I glued it together)

Since we made a lot of things on behalf of customers to individual body measurements - I have experienced a very wide range of human body shapes and measurements.

Many people simply have no idea what is realistic... and here I deliberately don't mean body modification with a scalpel and silicone pillow!

Since I wore corsets myself for several years - two of which were day and night - I even know what extreme waist measurements can be achieved.

(Incidentally, my corset maker got me the job at the small factory mentioned above).

And the young lady in the picture is a typically slim East Asian woman... as a European you are always amazed at how petite these women are!

Spend 100 million with a Large Unattractive person as the protagonist, see how much money you loose. 

 

"Why do you do that"

 

 

Someone asked me once why I create a female player Character in some of my games, my reply, If I am going to spend 50-60 hours to get through this game I might as well be looking at what attracts me & what I find beautiful.

"Warum machst du das"

 

 

Jemand hat mich einmal gefragt, warum ich in einigen meiner Spiele einen weiblichen Spielercharakter erstelle. Meine Antwort: Wenn ich 50 bis 60 Stunden damit verbringe, dieses Spiel durchzuspielen, könnte ich genauso gut darauf achten, was mich anzieht und was ich schön finde .

 

 

I'll take the video above (and quoted) and look at the real woman on the left... that's what many photo models without make-up look like in real life.

For a body scan, "color on the face" is completely irrelevant... give a make-up artist 1000 euros and watch him work... then take a series of pictures with a digital camera and send them for image processing .

I was able to experience both on myself - a professional make-up (didn't have to pay that much - since it was a friendly service) ... and a professional image editing - which the "manipulator" clearly told me after an hour of work - that she was 5 -8 hours more could achieve a result -> "which I could never imagine in my wildest dreams" ... but that would have gone well beyond a service of friendship

---

You at least admit to having a "tits"-character... many men avoid such a clear statement.

In multi-player RPG games (like "The Elder Scroll" Online), however, the divergence between the many female avatars and the few real players is noticeable.

In addition to "Sykrim" or "Fallout", I also play games like that... and have been in various "clans" over the years. So I was able to ask my male clan members the question;

"Why are you as a man playing a female character?"

Only one person answered clearly -> "...that's how I imagine my own girlfriend..." - perhaps I should add - that he was married with almost grown-up children.

I've been suffering from "migraines" for almost 30 years... although it's not the "real" migraine - it's "migraine-like" headaches.

The pain level is identical - only the causes differ.

3 years ago I was diagnosed with something "on the side" -> high blood pressure

Since I've gotten this area back to normal with medication - these extreme attacks of headaches are gone!

As it turned out - the high blood pressure in my case triggers a small headache attack so massively - that I often couldn't even lie on my back for days ... combined with severe nausea ... my body is basically running (the autonomic nervous system) completely amok.

It wasn't the neurology specialists who recognized "cause and effect" - it was my family doctor for "general medicine"... that's who I went to - when I passed out at home and in the emergency room at the hospital they had a blood pressure of had measured 210/120.

Conclusion:

I know such things from my own life and know how you feel about them... Get well soon

The font I used is probably too small - so that you strain your eyes when reading... which then results in tense head muscles... which also causes "migraine-like" headaches.

Offer:

I could put the English translation in the spoilers in a much larger font - like a chapter every 2-3 days... maybe it will help you read it better
