>>317500Makes sense, I've drank under 1lt for the past 2 days, that's what my body felt like drinking, nothing more. I've heard lemon juice with salt helps but I didn't feel a difference when I tried it last time, going to try it again right now, with a spoonful of salt.

There’s these things called sodium-glucose transporters and without adequate sugar, less electrolytes & water are absorbed.Fucking reddit making me doubt everything I know.

Made zero progress I am guessing and trying to bait people to do all the work for your lazy ass again.
You have all the time in the world and have done nothing.
I work full time and still carve out the time to learn and practice new hard technical shit(currently learning motion capture animation and a tiny bit of 3d modeling), and still have plenty of time to enjoy my other hobbies.
Involving other people just creates complications and you will never get what you really truly want. For collaboration requires constant compromise.
The main thing holding you back is yourself and your total unwillingness to do hard work for the sake of what you desire. If you can't do what is needed for the sake of your dreams then why would others work for the sake of your dreams?

>>317521Blood family sacrifice money and effort for their own because it ultimately advances their genetics (even if with a 10-20 year lag).
It's a gamble which member of the family or extended family eventually procreates so the optimal evolutionary strategy is helping all of them when possible with whatever you can manage, because it also propagates your own DNA and ensures its survival.
Helping out a complete stranger who might permaghost you any day is more or less pointless unless you get paid to do so.

>Let me ask you something and please answer me honestly, do you have other people in your life? Sorta.
I email my mom to keep in touch around once a month. Mostly to let her know I ain't dead. I also talk to my old martial art's teacher around once every 3 months, whenever he has a new thing going wrong with his health. He gets bored being stuck at home so I think he goes through his contact list to find people to listen to him complain (he is really old).
Other than that it's just casual acquaintances that I intentionally maintain a professional distance from.
Why do you ask?

>>317515>I feel kinda bad for Lowtax.Personally I feel more bad in Lowtax's direction than feeling much for him as a specific person. Tbh the only real memory I have of Lowtax himself was the boxing match with Uwe Boll. I'm sure he wrote some really funny things but I liked other authors more and eventually drifted towards using SA just for humorous LPs of partially-translated Japanese eroges or other nonsense that Lowtax had no interest in or contribution towards.
Lowtax's personal deficiencies, problems and the horrible downward spiral he went into after becoming a father and all the really dark sexual shit with his animator friend–that's all stuff that probably means a lot more to people who used to read his stuff or who really enjoyed Shmorky's animations. It's all bad and I feel bad reading it but in the way that you feel bad reading about anyone who does too many drugs, loses too many friends and hits the ejector seat. It also feels kinda dirty if I try to feel too bad for him since, y'know, I felt nothing for him while it was happening despite sometimes reading some bits of gossip while events were unfolding. The dominant feeling I have is more emblematic of how unsustainable and individually fragile the old internet really was. The way it relied on tentpole personalities and individual site administrators who all turned out to be too mentally ill, emotionally weak, or financially insolvent to operate in that capacity and support themselves in life at the same time. This whole internet mess was never really going to work out.

I am still learning the basics of blender, and have been using it as little as possible. My newbie workflow in blender is painfully slow as I basically have to look up everything as I go.
I have to set more time aside to just grind tutorials until I get the hang of the program.
Which sucks since I also need to grind video editing skills too since it's been ages since I made proper videos.
So much to do and so little time.

Didn't really work on vtuber project this week.
Was depressed.
Got over the depression (mostly) and will get back to it shortly.
I think having a cold made me feel like shit, feeling like shit triggered feelings of worthlessness, and feelings of worthlessness triggered the depression spell.
But now that I am over the cold I am feeling better mentally and emotionally as well.
In other news, blender just updated and made the most important one of the add ons I was using stop working.
Yay!
The dude who made the add-on says he is working on a update and it should be out in a couple days.
Until then I will go back to grinding general tutorials instead of working directly on my VRM model.

I mean, if the smaller company manages to grab even a 5-10% market share, they will decimate the post-tax profit of the bigger companies. If there are more than one of these small fish nabbing 1-2% here and there, their profits would plummet.

They would send you 2 to 5 dollar tips every 10-20 mins just for looking at the screen and playing some video game. They had no idea they were staring at a guy.
A few turned into stalkers and sent tip messages like "you too good to talk to me?" "why wont you date me? you do realize I know where you live".
Gave me a pretty good glimpse of the kind of person who frequents those sites and also a few thousand dollars of free cash.
