My late father was the one who taught me to be cynical about advertising, for all that putting up ads was literally his whole job. He taught me from a very young age that advertising is expensive, and they tack that cost onto the price. That if something is heavily advertised, you can count on the fact that there's an identical product out there, usually even manufactured in the same factory, that's cheaper because they don't spend all that money on advertising.
A German friend walked me through Lidl, turning over items to show the factories where the items were manufactured and what expensive brands they correspond to, we did taste tests on some of the more pricey food things later and they were the same product. learning about food manufacturing was a hobby for her.
European glasses and sunglasses are made in the same Italian factories that make the luxury ones, they have the same quality control and warranty. You are paying €100 for a logo.
Some things cost more because they are actually made with better quality materials and where the workers are properly compensated, others are the same product as the off brand version with the brand name markup. It takes a lifetime to learn the intricacies which is why consumer advocacy associations and legal protection by (truly) independent agencies is crucial.
Are you an artist, and do you think it's rude when someone comments something along the line of "I don't like this ship, but this is a beautiful art" OR "I don't ship this, but this is a beautiful art" under a fan art that ships two fictional characters together?
I'm an artist. Yes, both of these comments are rude
I'm an artist. The first one is rude. The second one is not rude*
I'm an artist. No, neither of these comments are rude
I'm not an artist. Yes, both of these comments are rude
I'm not an artist. The first one is rude. The second one is not rude*
I'm not an artist. No, neither of these comments are rude
Remaining time: 6 days 35 minutes
*The first one = I don't like this ship, but this is a beautiful art
The second one = I don't ship this, but this is a beautiful art

When Astrotrain is arrested at 18 and convicted of murder, his life seems pretty grim and the path pretty narrow; there's a noose waiting for him, and he doesn't know when. Laying track until the day he dies, he's surprised to meet both a kind-hearted attorney and a predatory gangster- who are chasing each other's leads. Across the sea, Blitzwing has just been identified as a terrorist and needs a quick way out of Poland before eating firing squad lead. In a turn neither expected, they both wind up sharing a shack on the rail yard, and life goes on from there. The American dream and second chances happen in Chicago, Illinois, 1922.
ness what art/animation/project are uou most proud of
If i were to pick my all time favorite animation it would probably be my Flesh animation pinned to the top of my page. But I don't love it any more than the Operator one ("and then I tripped"), the Little Game one, or the recent wireplay one.
And overall project obvs the fanfic im working on now for the past six or seven months sixen seven six seven sixen sennvncsei isnsicninsni sinnicineni3nienniciecn
1920s Transformers au just dropped.... Astrotrain gets saved from death row at the small price of eternal debt to Megatron! Chapter 1 of Do engines get rewarded for their steam?
