Ok i just rewatched "Mr Monk and the badge" and now i'm fully convinced that one of the main reasons Monk wanted to be back on the force is so he could be Stottlemeyer's partner again
Cause (spoilers!)
He got reinstated and didn't get partnered with Stottlemeyer and he was like "damn i don't like it here anymore"

Sorry please ignore if it's off limits
I'm one step away from quiting since painting doesn't add up for me , but could i ask about your painting journey, yk like the process , if you taken clases and how much time did that take to learn
Again I'm really sorry if it's annoying but if you would, thought it could give me a push !!
ah see it's pretty hard for me to answer this kind of questions because despite drawing a lot, i never take art too seriously in the sense that i just do it for fun so the idea of "quitting" or "giving up" never crossed my mind because i don't see art as something i have to do, and i think in a way this is where your problem lies, right?
You're thinking of drawing like this skill you have to "study" to get better at, just like learning a new language or how to play the guitar which., i mean yeah it makes sense but the thing with art is that, in comparison to any other hobby, it is something truly unique to you as a person or your identity so in that context, what does quitting even mean? Never drawing that super cool idea you had in mind that only you can properly express? Never drawing that silly funny thing that made you laugh when it crossed your mind on your way home? Never drawing your favourite character like no one else will doing that very specific thing you want them to do? Never cracking open your skull for introspection? Never showing the world through your mind's eye? Giving up and never painting again is like killing your soul or becoming mute, or mutilating a part of your body and I think that would be a disservice to you as a human
And of course your art is gonna suck in the beginning and it will for much time to come and it will probably never be As Good as you want it to be, and of course not all art needs to be super deep or insightful to be worth anything, but I think that as long as the art you make invokes any sort of feeling, as long as you have something to say, an ick to get something out, or even something you want to /try/ out that brings excitement then you should probably continue to do it; drop that mentality of only seeing art as a skill to learn and embrace it more as a long-term lifetime interest and form of self-expression that brings you joy first and foremost.
i don't want to bore you with my personal journey or whatever because i don't think it's that useful and i don't like talking about myself so i'll leave u with my two cents on the matter

God I totally forgot about that scene in turnabout big top where franziska tells you about miles disappearing and the note he left behind and it's like.... yeah obviously she had a real personal vendetta against Phoenix after he sent her dad to death row but like.... she didn't even really like her dad. No what really seals the deal is that she thinks you're the reason her brother committed suicide. And she claims to hate miles but we know that's not really true and that they were in it together with their abusive father, even if they were forced to compete for his approval. THAT'S why she came all the way from germany specifically to beat your ass. The vengeance for her father feels almost performative, like it's just what she's expected to do, but after she tells you she found a note saying "Miles Edgeworth chooses death" and never saw her brother again (at that point in time) then yeah okay it all makes sense now that's why she fucking hates me.

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.
LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.
Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.

It's honestly crazy that discussion around testosterone HRT skews so much towards the beginning stages of it (to the point that you have dozens of guys thinking their transition is "failed" if they don't pass by like a year in lol) and what the initial changes of the first couple of months to years look like, like the classic laundry list of those early basic changes like bottom growth, voice drop, etc, when IMO literally none of that compares remotely to the depth and intensity of the long term total masculinization you start to experience like 3-5+ years in.

the men and boys are innocent too.
we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.
I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.
I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.
I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.
I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.
the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

i think whether or not you like ateez's music and concept you have admit that is pretty cool to see a group having their own identity and sticking to it and not really caring about what the masses want this industry is so saturated everyone does what everyone is doing because that's what brings them popularity and money and whatever else but having a group saying that 'this is our identity and music and we will stick to it' is quite huge nowadays and quite impressive to me that's why i just respect ateez so much, especially in that regard

the amount of ways we have to qualify the geoncide in gaza in order to get people to care is actually sickening to me. “it’s a feminist issue!” “it’s a disabilities issue!” “it’s an environmental issue!” like i’m sorry but even if this was happening solely to able bodied men and was causing no harm to the environment, it would still be wrong because it’s a genocide and these people are being bombed and killed and starved every fucking day. you shouldn’t need an extra label to give you a reason to care about people that are dying.
