Gott, this is so retarded.
I have a housemate who sings and hums a lot. His father plays guitar, but this dude cannot. Will just drone on while he's on his computer. It is not a good voice.

He still claims he's 'very musical' though. He can't read sheet music, or play anything. His voice is not good. The stuff he listens to and hums/sings/drones is pleb-tier.

But it's ok that he hasn't spend the years I have learning how to do music. We shouldn't discourage anybody, because everyone is special. The people who just started are just as special as the people who've devoted their lives to some talent.
>>
>>82085856
Which one?
The one where the guy literally leaves his wife, job and home to chase a Game of Thrones fantasy?

More important than being 'creative' is being able to make something that sells.

Fun fact: You wanna know why people are able to get away with making shitty webcomics for a living?
Because you only need 1000 dedicated autists dumping $100 into your bank account a YEAR to earn $100,000 a year before taxes and shit.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 1000 people is 0.00030959752 PERCENT of the population of the United States.
If you have one percent of the US giving you a dollar a year, you're raking in 323 thousand dollars.

It's not that they lie to you, people can see through a lie, it's that they're the kind of scum who'll commission medical research on how to bypass conscious thought to get people to buy things without thinking about it.

You fall for a lie, that's fine, you fall for what's borderline fucking mind control and it's entirely legitimate to blame someone else.*

*"you fall for" is dubious, but when other people are doing it it's generalizable. That doesn't mean you can point to any individual and go "SHEEPLE!", but it does mean """"sheeple"""" exist.

You're thinking too much into this. The author has no personal connection to the stuff he does other than the dumbass "trolling" saga with Miyazaki making a Gundam. Everything else is just using cliche'd imagery to match quotes to sell as "inspiration" fodder. He even dips into Ayn Rand quotes here and there.

The artist is the living definition of a shill despite what they may profess.

i could lie to you and say i'd practice.

but that's not the truth. it's easier to concede i'm a lazy cornercutting fuck who wants to sidestep the negative consequences of his own laziness than it is to lie and say "yeah, i'll try."

i don't try. learning is hard, it takes effort and i'm not willing to put it in while still wanting to claw some reward out of the world.

worse yet, i know it. lying to yourself takes effort.

Kind of reminds me of Bowling for Columbine . Shit movie with a bunch of holes, but Matt stone was on the money when he said that "it's just High School dude, it's a minuscule part of your life." I'm 22 and rarely think about High School, and I too was bullied, but I could care less my young adult years are based compared to my teen years. This comic reminds of whenever Dobson writes about his shitty high school existence, anybody that comic?

for example a stealth bomber is shown there; if that idea isn't rejected (sorry rejector, your head asplode) then they're stuck using it even though air attacks are already demonstrably ineffective.

the blimp is even worse, it doesn't even have the chance of escape that the stealth bomber did (and even that was dubious compared to the F-18)

Any creative type should have a thick skin. You're going to get criticized no matter what you produce. It's good to consider some of the criticism and throw out other shit. You'll never make everyone happy. Produce what you want, don't let people get you down and always realize you need to improve and can do better.

i'm as capitalist as can be, buddy.
it's because i value a free market* that i came to hate the idea. it's one of the most tangible (and least acceptable) ways that a bigger company gains an advantage over a competitor that isn't quantitative to the advantage of their product.

*i do believe some intervention is necessary to prevent monopolies in practical terms, as well as because convincing people to go full libertarian is much harder than fighting a pragmatic battle to slowly take the state out of places it doesn't belong while ignoring it in others.
