  • 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.









  • Gonna be real with you, if you’re in the US and wanna connect with pretty ladies you pretty much have to have insta or messenger. If they are devout apple heads they might wanna do iMessage but as I don’t use apple products I can’t speak to that. I personally don’t want anyone to have my phone number. I have signal, messenger, whatsapp, Kik, WeChat, and discord because I travel a lot and I have contacts on all of them. People prefer social media so they can remember you, your interests, things you say publicly, and use that to help decide if they wanna hang.


  • I really feel an as a lifelong martial artist and MMA practitioner that Bruce Lee’s fans have made him so insanely uncool that I don’t ever want to hear about him ever again. I am so tired of being told that all of the best fighters in the world would absolutely lose to him one-on-one and he had all these magic powers despite never fighting professionally on camera. He’s an actor first and foremost and he knew he wouldn’t do super well in professional fighting and hence never entered that arena.
