That’s really sad.

I am loving pluribus! And the subreddit is unhinged in a bad way

The “it’s inevitable” types almost make me angrier than the shills. They’re sad cowards IMO

I’m gonna save it for later! Thanks!! I think at this moment he wouldn’t be receptive but I think in the future it’ll help!

Thanks!!

You’re right of course, I’m just being unnecessarily self deprecating 😅I don’t think things come very easily to me so when i want something I work very very hard at it. And on the outside it looks like it came easy I bet.

I honestly think I’m a bit dumber than him and have just had to run head first into obstacles over and over again before I find ways around them. He’s extremely smart and then talks himself out of caring. :(

Yeah, I want to suggest that stuff to him tbh. He has an AMAZING eye, he never shares his photos but I’ve seen some of them and they’re really beautiful.

I’m gonna work on it with him at some point tbh, I love him and believe in him & would love to share creativity together

Thankfully I do think there are enough smarter people to make things better even if it takes a while and I do think apathetic people can be made to care

Hence why genAI is a thing. They see us creating and think it’s easy for us and feel entitled to the instant gratification of finishing a piece.

(My bro doesn’t use genAI but I think his attitude informs why many do use it)

That’s the TRUTH, but he doesn’t see any of MY “failures” as failures, just sees his own perceived failures as failures and mine as successes.

:(

If I try to explain it he just sticks his fingers in his ears :(

I don’t think he’s atypical though, I think a lot of ppl see art and artists this way

I keep reminding myself this when I read some doomer “realistic” take about how Americans are “too apathetic and stupid” to enact real change. At the very least, this regime doesn’t have staying power.

Yeah, I think that’s exactly it. &it doesn’t help that he perceives my career as “successful” as an artist, he doesn’t see how much i struggle(d), just that I’m “good at it” which is so arguable and simplistic.

I just think he’d really benefit from it. He’s truly creative at his core!!!

My brother is very much of the general life outlook of “if I can’t do it perfectly it’s not worth doing” and I so badly want him to get over it. He is naturally artistic and musical but doesn’t let himself enjoy those things for the sake of them and it’s sad.

Yeah my brother is stubborn and is extremely contradictory to literally everything I say to him so even if I said something so reasonable he’ll find a way to shut it down. But you’re right!!! It’s process and it’s feelings and it’s making something with your hands, anything.

Standard: asking about my inner world and genuinely wanting to know

You are!!! Yes you are!!!!❤️

problematic to say the least

They were trying to decide what to do with him because admittedly his idea and presentation was very cool but the execution caused the death of a world leader and that was a big PR issue
