It's just a fad. Speech mannerisms also come and go with the times. Right now it's popular to use it, and people use it.
Okay, I don't know if the word has a very specific meaning in contemporary military vocabulary.
All I know is that a mercenary is an umbrella term for a "warrior for hire". It's typically associated with having to do jobs most others don't want to do, either because they're very demanding physically or because they're morally questionable. And this is where your confusion with assasins and hitmans comes in. A mercenary may also be a hitman, it depends on the context. But not necessarily. Usually mercenaries are supported by ( because they work for) either the government or some other legal entity. An assassin or hitman usually doesn't, or at least isn't supposed to.
In other words, a mercenary has a reputation for taking morally questionable jobs but isn't regarded as a criminal, whereas assassins, hitmen, and evil henchmen are criminals from the get go.
I hope that helps
This depends on the amount of time and dedication you put into it plus your natural ability to understand and represent the world visually. Which isn't the same for everyone. Nature and nurture both make a difference.
In short I've seen most people make significant progress in the first year or two of their art journey, but after that you sort of hit a plateau. Here's where the difficult stuff begins and it's a life journey. Whether or not that is good enough for you and what you want to draw is only for you to decide.
I don't know where that candid jesus image is from but it has so much Dicaprio Raising Drink energy that if it hasn't been memed already then it should
Never. I can't stand the crowds and the loud music. And I don't appreciate the crowds singing and screaming on top of the music either. I've been to concerts like two times in my life just because others insisted so much I joined them, and the experience was exactly what I thought it would be.
I'm just not cut for them.
I don't think I bought band related merch ever, but I've seen some really cool stuff so that is something I would consider if the opportunity presented itself.
Your grandma sounds like a legend. I know for a fact mine couldn't have touched the topic
Good on her!
Yes I remember seeing the 70s Playboy magazines for the first time in my life just a few years ago, and I loved them. As you said, they were more about erotic nudes but it was also mixed up with tasteful art, literature (not all of it erotica either) and articles on contemporary culture. I would absolutely want to buy a few issues if I ever get the chance.
Kudos to her, I don't think my own mother would have bothered to go get books if she didn't know how to explain things to me. I think most people's reaction to facing something they don't know how to do is to just avoid it, which she clearly didn't. So yeah, cheers for progress!
How old were you at the questioning time?
Anecdotally, the stork along with other stories (did you know? Human babies can also sprout from cabbages) were more effective a few generations ago when people were actually in contact with and interacting with storks or cabbages etc.
My mother has a large family. Some of her aunts/uncles would tell the stork story to their youngest kids so that when the newest baby had to be delivered (at home, in some rural area) the kids would be distracted looking for a stork in the skies while their mother yelled her lungs out in pain from the contractions indoors. Once the kids grew up they figured it out obviously, and as adults they would laugh about it, but as a tool for distraction I think it's pretty clever. It makes sense in the context.
You mean as terms/words or as media? I can't say I understand if there is much of a difference between the three, as words. I use "manga". As media, yeah, it's cool, some manga is great, some is just mediocre. Like anything else. I'm not a fan of the genre but I really enjoyed some of its titles
