every poll that asks a question you need to remember something to answer properly should be required to have an 'i forgor' button. or else the op explodes immediately

Yeah I really have no patience for self-important people who desperately want to inject themselves into creative industries just because they consider "enjoying media" their defining trait that somehow other people don't have. Being a dedicated fan is a great thing for sure, but you become self-absorbed when you think that, alone, is why you deserve to cut out a hole for yourself in the industry and not maybe the fact that you've put in the work to hone industry-specific skills.
Creative fields are not easy money or easy clout or whatever. Believing so is such a disrespect to those skills and everyone who's worked so hard to get where they are.

If Glease was realistic they'd have to do the school's edition of Grease with none of the songs from the movie and not even a mention of sex or smoking 😪

Vent (- kind of)
There was an art contest here near where I live.
You had to book your place one month ago and then these days you could go and make your drawing. You could win both visibility and money. I probably wouldn't have partecipated to begin with, however one of my 'friend' did.
Why am I bringing this up?
This person has studied for years to an art academy, then proceed with a master in digital art characters. They would always ask me "I have this project to do, would you like to make it too? So I can see what I came up with and what you do instead".
Basically they wanted to see our differences in skills and time.
They even asked me this with their final project exam. They would always tell me if there was some type of art projects going on, so that they could see my works.
And yet, I didn't know about this contest.
The happiness I'm feeling is so great that it overcomes the disappointment over this person.
Imagine studying art for 6 years and fearing to lose to someone who has no professional art background. I swear I don't want to sound mean or such here, but this is what I mean when I tell you:
👉🏻Be careful when you decide to take art schools/degrees.👈🏻
It's because I know for a fact that 90% of those academy are useless.
Practice is the key.

I really hate how much the right is against public education because it means you can't discuss the issues with the current public education system as an establishment without other leftists thinking you're either some kind of covert conservative psyop sent to undermine the concept of education or a spoiled 12-year-old who's mad because their mommy told them to do homework.
Like I'm sorry but what level of denial do you have to be on to pretend that a massive institution that does a sizeable chunk of society's child-rearing couldn't possibly play a role in perpetuating any societal issues?

that moment when: everyone's lives are restricted and constricted and these imposed consequences are attributed to anyone's continual individual failures to seek, find, and follow the Correct Path through Life, and so everyone is left on their own to only be seeking & finding these failures as well as the only answer to how their lives can be better....versus Not seeing the world as the free marketplace meritocracy of everyone's personal failures/successes, nor everything in your own life, and thus not forever having to scrutinize Where You Must Be Bringing It Upon Yourself by fucking up or at least failing to do the correct thing, and exist only in perpetual punishment for your ongoing failure and occasional temporary reprieves from it. recognizing everything that wasn't & isn't & wouldn't be [this is because you're bringing it upon yourself] and thus having more capacity & capability to look at the realm of your personal individual self, reality, experiences, life through the perpetual instances of seeking, finding, and following your own needs/wants through one's inherent personhood and exercises of autonomy and recognition of where & when & how one recognizes moments of their existing freely & in more resonant genuine alignment with themself, you know? endless examples to be found in endless fractals of [where & how are people's lives made smaller]. and that of course this doesn't preclude the ability/option at any time to question one's choices, since you'll be able to find more Actual choices available to you (and, also crucially, find more actual choices made by others that are in the pursuit of limiting Yours) to look at, and people getting to exercise their autonomy isn't the same as "everyone doing anything they want regardless of how it affects others" since that [how does it affect others?] element instead being Regarded would be able to lead to recognizing that, in fact, an effect might be the infringement on others' autonomy, hence: There's A Problem....like the ability to just go ham with [questioning???] anything in existence, certainly including oneself, b/c the "norm" is such that rather you're only supposed to be able to question yourself for your failings (or those positioned as less than, thus, beneath you) and not even have the language to express a questioning of aspects of life beyond that b/c stop calling anyone "cis" they're just Normal, Just Be Normal and it would all be fine
