  • It’s absolutely true. All you have to do is spend any amount of time around someone that has never drawn before that has the talent and you’ll be just devastated at how good they are on their first attempt. Meanwhile, there are plenty of people that have been drawing for a couple decades that never have been able to make it past crude representations.

    There are various levels of talent and it’s possible to maybe become a bad artist by grinding, but you cannot become a good artist with a complete lack of visual art talent. I’m not sure why visual artists are unable to see this until you tell them okay so everyone can sing and then they quickly admit. “Okay, not everybody can sing.”


  • You are absolutely correct. I have spent a lot of time around adults that can just pick up a brush without any training or whatsoever and do a legitimately good piece of art. Artist mistakenly feel that because they kept grinding that their output is a result of their work alone. However if they are missing that core piece of talent, it doesn’t matter how much they practice. You will never be able to create visual art at the level of someone with the spark.

    It’s weird how all visual artists believe that this is true for singers, but never believe it’s true for themselves.











  • I feel like you don’t really know anything about the scam community, but a side loaded app is like 500 times more likely to be malware than a Play store app. The amount of millions that have been stolen from users in India, Mexico, Africa, and Brazil because of sideloaded apps is pretty staggering.

    I’m fairly certain fdroid should just be able to alter the way that they’re doing things a bit and still exist under the need to obtain a signing cert from Google.

    I mean personally I’m not on the same side with this. I would rather Google not do this without some way to disable it via the UI given enough warnings and what not.



  • I don’t think that’s nearly enough information to determine a viable winner. If they are nowhere near the same weight class then we know just through physics and fight history across the world that generally the bigger guy has a large advantage in venues where grappling is allowed because they can pull the other person down and lay on them. A big part of learning how to wrestle and grapple is learning a whole myriad of mechanics that are required to not let someone pin you down or gain control over your base.

    I almost always suggest women learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling for self-defense because when they are just tackled from behind, they’ve got the tools necessary to try and extricate themselves.

    Also, generally stand up is chaos and there’s always a chance of just getting caught with an elbow to the side of the dome in a scuffle and going down in a heap. It’s always risky to fight which is why you don’t see professional fighters willing to just throw down for no reason on the street.
