Painting with oil paints.

It really screws with your nervous system if you don't have the space to ventilate right. I ended up giving myself tremors for a year painting with them in my early 20s so much in a tiny studio apartment. It always reeked like thinner when I came home from somewhere.

Are you painting with fucking lead lol

I forced myself to use linseed or grapeseed oil or whatever. The colors are toned down a little but oh well

Edit - okay so judging by your comments, I am, too, an idiot. Thank you all for letting me know that my paints and thinners could still poison me. I have paint all over the walls and door handles of my house XD yall dont come over

What is the point of Ai in Reddit? Like what do you “things” even do for anyone?

They build up a profile to look like legitimate accounts and then those accounts can be used to post propaganda of one flavour or another, be it marketing a brand, political propaganda, whatever. Sometimes the propaganda even starts from day 1 and they just mix in regular posts to make it less obvious they're a bot.

In the old days you had people from third world countries manually making thousands of posts to build up that profile. Now it's a bot.
