  • Okay I’ve used both but in Australia so no brand opinions, never seen the ones you mention.

    Pantyhose has to be of good quality (ie. Not from mystery brand on AliExpress) or they will constantly slide down, which is very annoying. They will also ladder and tear more easily rendering them single use basically. So get a reasonable brand. You will have to try and see.

    I’m presuming you have female anatomy like me. Crotchless pantyhose can be a better option for the toilet if that’s your concern, but that depends on how neat and tidy you are with your business. I couldn’t. I’d be getting piss droplets on the pantyhose if I had to go wearing them. For me that’s too gross of an option.

    The main advantage of pantyhose is that it’s easier to put on (think of your routine if you need this on a daily basis), it usually stays where you leave it, and it covers the whole leg. It’s also even all along, whereas holdups may show through the fabric of whatever other garment you are wearing if it’s tight enough.

    Holdups as mentioned may show through the fabric. They’re also more difficult to get right, I’ve never bought holdups that stayed put without using a garter belt. If you have super firm legs then you may have better luck than me though . In my experience, the holdups either stay in place but dig too much into the leg which looks awful, or, they fall down a lot. So I’ve used garter belts, and here we have another variable which is that of the clasp+holdup edge types. The more discreet clasps are button type and usually don’t latch well on most holdups, they snap free when you move and your socks fall. The crocodile style clasps do bite and stay but, again, you can see the bumps through the skirt in many cases depending on the fabric.

    For sizing, always err on the larger one. Unless you are super skinny. I’m not sure of your sizes, I use metric system, I only know I’m 5’7" and 64 kgs with a pronounced hourglass shape. And I’m usually a L, and when it comes to hosiery at least Tall. My sister is a few cms taller than me, and needs ExtraTall or nothing. So it sounds like you’d be extra tall/Large, unless you are very skinny and thin.

    Hope this helps. Good luck with it




  • Many big studios use linux (red hat or rocky, although I’m not sure what is the industry standard distro nowadays) for their 3d side of the pipeline, that would include all of that software and more. I think Zbrush is the only one that doesn’t have official Linux compatibility and the hardest one to run, but don’t quote me on that.

    You are right in that finding good support for issues that pop up in Linux is hard, especially for the average joe that doesn’t have a team of specialized IT support. But when you make things work, the results are way more efficient.





  • Nudity would be considered inappropriate in most workplaces so that’s a good standard to hold up to.

    There is a grey area for scientific/medical illustration, but usually this category of illustration removes most of the unnecessary details on genitals and stylizes the image in a way that makes your brain grasp better the anatomy, even if it’s not photorealistic. Usually you work out if an image belongs to this category by context, ie. you find it in a biology book, an encyclopedia, a healthcare pamphlet etc. When doctors or scientists need to document something with photographs ( which is often the case to supplement illustrations) they’re usually considered sensitive material if it’s on the genitals and they’re not as readily available to the general public. There’s often a content warning when things get that graphic.

    If your work is leaning more towards photorealism then it may not fit that criteria, and would still be considered NSFW.









  • Removing a comment also makes it impossible for people to join and carry on the conversation. Or keep on upvoting . How can one reply to something they can’t read?

    In your particular case, replies such as “yes and let’s also kill this other person” , " they deserve torture beforehand " , or “let’s do it next Tuesday folks” will never see the light of day under that post. They’ll have to first go read the mod log and then contact you via DM. And DMs are between two people afaik.

    So the point of removing a comment isn’t to erase the comment out of existence but just to prevent it from having any effect on people who haven’t yet read it.



  • Many already said how people start dancing. I’ll add some things to keep in mind:

    1- culture is a massive factor: nobody mentioned birthday parties. I’m going to presume kids don’t dance at birthday parties in English speaking countries, but elsewhere in the world you have birthdays and I’m going to guess other festivities in other cultures include dancing. That’s a major step before you are old enough to go clubbing. Freestyle in the case of birthdays, but you also need to keep in mind my next point,…

    2- TV, Music videos, Videogames and whatever media in which people see these moves also helps people learn them. It’s not uncommon for a small group of friends trying out if they can do this Celebrity Move like in Such Video Clip or whatever and this can happen while they hang out anywhere, even during school breaks.

    So yes, if you have the inclination for dancing you have plenty of opportunities to practice and learn as you grow.


  • I feel for you. I’m not in the same field as you, and I’m not the same person you replied to either. I’m just chiming in. I’ve been unemployed for over a year; your post makes me think you are starting to feel stressed and this is the first step towards depression. I went down that route and getting out of it was very tough; I’m still working on it.

    In short, I want to say, try to get a plebe jobbe now instead of waiting to land something good. It’ll keep you going and you won’t care much about it if you lose it or need to quit.

    I’m currently in retail, I actually have two part time jobs. It took me a while to get them, and I had to tailor my resume for it. I had to remove experience from it to finally get interviews in lower positions. Nobody at the shopping mall cared how long I worked in a studio elsewhere or what I did. And trust me, I have plenty of dim witted, ugly coworkers (as well as smart ones and good looking ones) so don’t think you have an unhireable aura. There’s plenty worse than you out there, I’m absolutely certain.

    Good luck OP
