What's Bothering You?

[-Raven-]

1. I hate seeing my country pick up more of American political discourse down to calling things “woke”, stop making existence for people like me a political debate : /

2. Yikes never mind green carding to America. Embarassing, you know exactly what I’m alluding to

3. I wish I was better at keeping in touch with people here because yall are like the only chill community I’m in other than orange scrimblo server

4. I hate this so much it receded into the back of my mind but tomorrow = new therapist and I hate it because I’ve done things like this for a decade and this is gonna be the fiftieth person in the last few months I’ve had to explain my life to. WHERE DOES THIS EVEN GET ME

I feel kinda stupid for saying this, but I feel like AI art looks so much better than my own art. I mean, sure it's artificial, but at least AI art looks highly detailed and rendered but you can still tell that it's made using AI, tho. I go onto AI art websites to look at random AI art pieces and go "Damn, this AI robot can generate better art pieces than I ever could."

Sometimes, I just wanna throw all my crappy art pieces into an AI art generator and let it do the art for me. And before you reply to this, yes, I'm fully aware of the whole "AI art steals from real artists" thing. I just feel like my art doesn't light a candle to AI art.

pokemon scalpers really irk me. (to put it incredibly mildly.) i was waiting for the new vaporeon figurine to come out after hearing about it a few weeks ago. just saw that i missed the release, and it's already out of stock, and now a hundred people are selling it for 3x the price. idk if they plan to restock it, probably not since it's a figurine. don't even get me started on the scalping around the new cards just released. i'm hoping to get a mini tin each of my favorite eeveelutions when they release + the poster collection with the vaporeon/jolteon/flareon cards at the start of next month when they come into stock at my local toystore, but god knows if i'm even going to have any luck because of these people. (that latter item is already being sold on ebay for 2x the price.)

Hey all! We just pruned this thread a bit as it's been brought to our attention that members were offering medical advice that could be seriously dangerous or detrimental. While it's clear these posts were meant to be kind and supportive, we have to draw a hard line here in the best interest of our community and their health.

The rules of this thread have been updated to reflect our stance on medical advice and will also be added to the official forum rules whenever we get around to updating them. Again, please do not ask for or give medical advice of any kind here on TBT even when done so out of kindness and concern, as unqualified advice like this could do a lot more harm than good if followed.

Generally speaking, please reach out to your doctor when/if things just don't feel right, and if they won't listen or take you seriously then seek a second (or third, fourth, etc) opinion until you find a professional who can properly help you. Self-advocacy is sometimes our best asset as no one understands your body, mind, or feelings as well as you do.

Thanks everyone!

My brother is happy that he's getting a day off tomorrow because of Storm Eowyn. He doesn't seem to bother about the harm the storm could do to people.

I've had a terrible flu the past 2 days. Normally I take my mom to activities during the week like her crafting group but I had to cancel on her. She was really upset cause she can't get outta her house without me so it's basically gonna be a very boring week for her. I also go over to her place multiple times a week so my dad can go get groceries and run some errands but I don't wanna make them sick so I had to ask my mom's friend to come visit with her while my dad leaves the house. Now I have a weird guilt lingering feeling even though I know cancelling was the only option.

I lost my debit card. It's not a huge deal since I was able to lock it and I most likely misplaced it somewhere in the house, but it's pretty ****ing inconvenient. I was hoping I'd have at least one full day to relax after doing most of my errands for the week. But then again, there is no such thing as peace in this household when I'm constantly being bothered.

Spoiler: Also...

As much as I love my younger brother, I'm very apprehensive about being around him. He's very judgmental, rude, and persistent towards me, and I'm getting sick of it. He asks personal questions and gets mad when I don't answer them. He judges me for both trivial and serious things. He's just difficult to be around when he's so negative and makes me feel like ****. I really wish I was in college so I didn't have to be around my family, stress be damned.

Some guy is spreading rumours about one of my friends encouraging other people to sh. Which is very much not true, because if anything, she offers alternatives to people who find themselves doing it and tries to help people who are feeling like they need to sh. She confronted him, but he completely avoided all the questions she asked. I'm actually getting sick of forgiving this guy for stuff he's done in the past when all he does is start doing other stuff that's just as bad/worse.

Feeling very on edge today. Been stressed out at home for dumb reasons and I keep remembering how frightening the current state of the world is.

i don't know what your art looks like but as an artist i can guarantee you your art looks better than AI because it was made with human emotion and intention which is far more obvious than AI's sloppy details.

Got pulled over for the first time because I made a slight goof on the road. Luckily nothing bad happened and they let me off but I just feel so embarrased now. >_>

I'm really sorry to hear that. The picture of them is beautiful.

I'm so, so, so sorry. I lost 3 cats in 2021-2022, so I understand how devastated you must be. I know devastated is an understatement. Your girl is so gorgeous, and I can tell by the way she's looking at you in that photo that she loves you so, so much. Sending so much love to you.

I think a lot of us are happy to have the day off today! I work for the council and our entire city has shut down. No one wants to be out in this.

I was finally able to take off the heart monitor at 9:25 this morning. I thought I'd get relief from the pain and itching - nope!

2/3 of the spots where the wires were attached still hurt like hell 12 hours later. My girlfriend took a close look at them with a torch and said there are a ton of tiny blisters where one was.
