My cousins didn’t do it. They were with me all the time that day, eating falafel tacos.

That Nestlé mug is a nice detail.

Here, you dropped this

Also, a bit too articulate for the average cultist.

Since I’m not particularly creative I’ve thought of picturing everyday objects in all its ordinary glory so that I don’t feel the need to represent them accurately.

I don’t know if that makes sense to you or of it even helps, I’m not particularly qualified on the subject.

Ps. If you feel like posting your artwork, there is a neat community !artshare@lemmy.world

This is very insightful, thank you!

I don’t have a definitive answer, though it certainly helps to broaden the perspective.

anything but doom scrolling I felt this. I’ve had times where I’ve been able to quit, for up to a few months, but since I don’t feel significantly better, I just fall back into it.

I have a stock of art supplies gathering dust. I feel bad for not using them, but also I feel like using them is a waste of material bc anything I do will suck.

I get the concept of ‘keep sucking until you don’t’, but I don’t have the mind and emotional energy for that.

Is that a huge dog or a tiny armchair?

I want what those designers are having

Gotta love the goofy ‘eyes’

Can’t count how many t-shirts I ruined bc I had to remove the labels. They were unbearably itchy.

Good thing it seems that type of labels are not so common nowadays.

I’m usually more bothered by the “I should be doing something” thought, with the implication of productivity but not necessarily profit oriented, more like house chores and so.

Aside from the unfortunate name of the university, I think that part of why LLMs may be perceived as smart or ‘smarter’ is because they are very articulate and, unless prompted otherwise, use proper spelling and grammar, and tend to structure their sentences logically.

Which ‘smart’ humans may not do, out of haste or contextual adaptation.

Thank you for taking the time to reply and thoroughly so.

I think the best differentiation you made between ontology and religion is key. My issue with religious texts is that they (usually but not always) demand a full commitment with other practices and beliefs that I don’t find fitting for me personally, and it seems like an all or nothing approach, so I end up quitting.

Let alone as you mention how these ancient practices have been stripped of their original intentions to be made more palatable to western audiences. Not only that, but now some people have even tried to co-opt them by sticking a western religious approach, further (imo) disrespecting and confounding.

I’m being kinda contradictory, and this is why I haven’t sorted out my internal conflict between the search for inner peace -I wouldn’tbe so pretentious as to call it enlightment-, and my unwillingness to submit to religious dogma (I’ve had enough bad experiences, and not only with one religion).

I used to get really annoyed with blatant errors but I’ve grown more tolerant whenever they seem to be bona fide.

What I find a harder time with is the anti intellectual attitude of some people (I’m speaking overall online, not specifically on Lemmy), where writing poorly is used as a kind of code. And in the same vein, people who write using proper grammar and spelling being mocked.

Do you care to elaborate?

I’ve tried getting into both a few times, to the point of noticing some benefits, but I fall off the wagon bc everything I read about it quickly goes into religious territory.

It’sreally good that you are seeing a therapist. I think it’s better to have professional help whenever possible.

Hope things get better.

This wasn’t my case, my parents were very well adjusted for the most part but it did happen to a former partner. It was usually accompanied by a deep silence and denial. Hope it gradually gets more normalized to at least talk about it; even if therapeutic alternatives may not be available, having support from friends and family is a huge improvement.
