Sounds like you need a union

That's an awkwardly worded title..

I don't really remember, I guess that wasn't a problem for me. Do you mean the left brain/right brain thing? I think I just treated that as metaphorical...

Good to find out you're right, huh? 😁

Of course there are still lots of technique related skills to learn too, but this is by far the biggest boost I ever got.

I'll be honest, I didn't make it all the way through, but the core concepts are explained well on the first few chapters, and some of the early exercises are good enough to give a pretty deep understanding of how it works. The two exercises that really hit home for me were the one where you re-draw the line drawing of the man, and then do it again upside down;, and the excerise where you draw the empty shapes between and around a chair.

Get yourself a copy of Betty Edwards' Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain. Her main point is that drawing isn't your problem, seeing is, because the logical component of the brain gets in the way of the visual cortex, and wants to draw symbols for things, instead of the actual shapes and shades. The book is packed with exercises that will flip your brain into understanding how to see. Then it's just a matter of practice, but it feels a lot less daunting then, because it also gives you the tools to better critique your own drawings constructively.

It's a post sorting option on your instance home page. I basically sorts by recent activity, but normalised by community size, so if something gets 10 upvotes on a community with 100 users it will be pushed much higher than a post with 10 upvotes from a community with 2k users

Oh, I mostly use it with subscribed, not all, perhaps that's the difference?

Did that test just work because it was a reply though?

I don't thing you can make others do that. Just be yourself as much as you can (I know that's not easy for some people), and don't be a dick, and it'll happen eventually.

I think maybe coming at it obliquely is best. Don't make it your main aim, because desperation is off-putting, but keep it in your awareness so that you catch it when it presents itself.

Personally I found doing stuff with others based around a common interest the easiest way to meet people who had a similar world-view. And from there it's easier to stumble upon people who might find you attractive. Getting mutually excited with someone about a shared interest can be pretty attractive.

That sucks dude. I hope some change shows up for you at some point.
