When I look at other people’s great artwork I often say to myself: I know how to break down that work into manageable chunks and I can probably do it but it would take an unimaginable amount of time for me. IDK if the better artists are faster or simply more persistent

look…………….. write as much shitty fic as you want. nobody can stop you. you’re learning constantly and it’s better to write hackneyed implausible ridiculousness than it is to not write at all out of fear of fucking up. you’re good
There was an experiment a professor did. I think it was pottery students. He did an experiment of “quality” vs “quantity”. One half of the class he told; you have to make as many pots as possible. Good pots, bad pots, shitty pots, whatever. The more pots you make, the higher your grade.
The other half of the class were told, “you can make only one pot”. But that pot had to be perfect. The quality had to be high; the highest quality pot would get the best mark.
But when it came to the grading, they noticed something weird.
All the best quality pots were in the ‘quantity’ group.
The guys who were literally churning out pots, trying to make as many as possible, not concentrating on the quality. But every pot they made, made them better at making pots. By the end of the month (I think it was a month) - they had some pretty awesome pots coming out, because they enjoying finding all the ways and all the things they could do to make all their pots. Where as the ‘quality’ guys had spent their time reading up on pots, and technique, and researching and planning; which was all great but they’d had no further practice at actually making pots.
The best way to get really good at something, the only way to be really good at something, is to make lots of shitty attempts at that thing several of which will fail. If all you create are perfect things then you won’t improve, because how can you improve on perfect?
tl:dr MAKE YOUR SHITTY POTS.

When I see pictures of inside other peoples’ houses I kind of want to be able to enhance and see what they have on their bookshelves and maybe silently judge them.

It’s weird when during the last few turns of scrabble/words with friends and when the point spread is so large that I already know if I’m going to win or lose, I still get stuck looking for the optimal play. I know why I do it but I should be chill about it more often lol

I have heard of literally no one that wants us to go to war. When a person thinks that any criticism or protest should immediately translate into violence, it says a lot about how he thinks. There are other options between war and treason.
Quoted inquirerdotnet's tweet:@JMAurelioINQ @10avendanoINQ President Rodrigo Duterte: “We will declare war against China, provided that those noisy should go first. I will be there behind them. But when we get there, I will leave them behind. It’s up to them. They are the ones who want to fight.” #WestPHSea

Putting your picture on your resume when your appearance shouldnt have any effect on the job you’re applying for is a silly thing Pinoys do that should end. It contributes to a culture of shallowness where people judge you based on your appearance.
Aside from it being better for society, you would probably not want to work at the sort of places that expect your resume to have a picture.
That being said, if you have any sort of facebook presence, you can be sure you’re gonna get online-stalked before any intervieew.

Deadpool 2 SPOILER-FREE REVIEW:
- entertaining enough; kind of a popcorn movie. i kinda liked the first movie better
- if you watched the first movie, you kinda know what to expect in terms of tone and humor and all
- dont bring your kids. but if it matters to you, there is significantly less sex in this movie than the first one
- the plot did go in ways i was not expecting
- i did not watch in imax, it seemed fine
- there is a mid credits scene. well, scenes. like five of them strung together
- there is no end credits scene but there is a… small bonus near the end if you pay attention
- would i recommend na panoorin ni mama: definitely not

I strongly believe in 5 years people will laugh at the idea of commuting an hour each way to an office where they pretend to be productive from 9-5, non stop.
If your team isn’t distributed now, you’re missing one of the biggest productivity shifts in our lifetime.

Repost from MinovskyArticle:
Two X-Men fan letters from 1976, one who thinks Chris Claremont’s new run can only be saved by jettisoning the diverse cast, the other from a woman of color glad to see herself represented in the pages of her favorite comic. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

How do you think we can systematically close that gap?

AoS Season 6 would have the luxury of being the only piece of Canon MCU media to take place between Avengers 3 and 4.
Do none of the Netflix shows (I believe Luke Cage S2 happens this year) take place in the gap?
