  • Yes. I studied and have a degree in animation. I wanted to work in animation, specifically as a story board and background artist. However, I’m talentless. I attempted graphic design work, but my first gig was with Lisa Frank, and that didn’t go well. I searched for more design work and I could only find work in customer service. After a year of portfolio work, applications, etc., I had to accept I just don’t have talent and I wasted my money. My goal was to avoid my current job because all I heard growing up was how awful it was. I studied hard, graduated with honors and everything. Still a talentless dumbass who now works in insurance. I will likely stay in this career (insurance) until I die.



  • My friend wants to play games with me last weekend, but I completely forgot. It’s something she wanted to do for her birthday since we’re states apart and our schedules are weird. She said she’s fine, but I can tell I disappointed her by missing such a simple request and I feel absolutely terrible.

    However, it was a wake up call. I’ve been very lethargic and tired, but I just kind of ignored it, but it’s now affecting my friendship, so I’m going to try to make some changes to help with my energy. I don’t want to disappoint her again if I can help it.





  • I had the reverse issue in Undertale. I went through it the first time and was mad at Undyne. I believe at the end of the normal route, I heard that Undyne still wanted to fight the humans or what have you. And I was like, “you think I’m monster? After I gave you water? I’LL SHOW YOU A MONSTER.” I felt super bad killing Papyrus, but I was like, “I’m sorry, it’s for the greater good.”

    At the end, I was warned that the game wouldn’t forget that play through, and I was like, “Good.”






  • Someone already wrote a really good answer, but using the money to help fund programs would be a start. Maybe make a safe place where they can hang out that doesn’t offend you (not you specifically, just in general). If possible, I would even try and talk with them, become neighbors instead of enimies. While tackling homelessness would take a system wide change, I think sometimes just not adding to the problem and shame is the best we can do.

    And I get it, I’ve had homeless people scream at me, see them urinate outside, not everything humans do is pleasant, and I also wouldn’t want all of that right in front of my business. But, at least in this example, there is a ton of empty space, the building itself is mostly empty. Come together and make the rest of the unused property a shelter. That parking lot behind them alone was gigantic and I don’t think I saw any cars there, why not let them have part of the parking lot? It just seems easier to be kind and try to work with them than set up a sound system to keep the entire neighborhood up.






  • In the US? Worse, much worse. We’d have kings and queens at this point. The rich would make sure that their wealth always came back to them. People would probably have to test who their baby was before, probably a lot of adoptions and what have you. I could see parents suing the rich person if they didn’t share their wealth, likely new laws would need to be enacted to insure the wealth isn’t shared with anyone (and we know it’ll pass because anything that hurts people always passes). I could even see a greater decline in birthrates. Who wants to carry a baby to term just to have it snatched away by the Walmart empire and leaving you with nothing but the scars? Or what if you happen to get a murderer who did heinous things?

    Oh god, and debt would never, ever die. As soon as you’re 18, they’d drop those same bills off, likely with interest. There would be no end to suffering, no peace at the end. You’ll be in your 80’s, still working to pay off debt that may be from two lifetimes ago. It would be harder for new artists as well. Just keep throwing Beyonce out there. Why get a new actor? Just keep putting the same guy in there, over and over.

    Only thing I could see getting a little better is racism. Since you can’t control who or what you come back as, kind of hard to hate brown people when you’re just a flip of a coin away. They literally wouldn’t be able to judge a book by its cover.
