  • This may sound harsh, but the fact that you have to ask is already a barrier. Anyone in the arts making money from their art, is making money because they stand out. With so much easy access to programs that create, there is a surplus of artists and no enough consumers of art.

    As for Etsy, they are going to start deprioritizing copycat pieces and getting behind more original content, because their website is flooded. Competition on that platform is about to get harder.

    People famously say making money with 3D printing is hard. If you still want to try, then you’ll need to go around and try to solve for issues people haven’t thought to solve and go print those solutions.

    If you want to do things like coloring books, your best bet may be to go around to daycares, doctor’s offices and other places children may get bored and ask them if they would want to buy from you. The problem you are facing there is that most little kids today just play on iPads.








  • I honestly think Kang would have been a much better villain used here. Especially since Kang is descended from the Richards. It would have created a very interesting conundrum in that Kang can’t kill Reed, Sue or Franklin without killing himself, and Reed figuring it out towards the end of the movie and using that to defeat him. It would still have set up the “Kang will return” aspect of it, without leap of Antman having taken down one of the smartest people alive.

    Edit: Miss remembered the family lineage, they are related, but not direct.(It seems to flip flop around) So he could still kill them. I still think he would have been better used here for the family aspects.


  • It’s a habit that I think sparked from Reddit exodus and people wanting to remove traces of themselves.

    I know some people disagree, but it feels like walking into someone’s library and just setting books on fire. You’re destroying some posterity and the goal of place like Lenny where we want to gather people and information.

    Instead of going scorched Earth, we should treat this as a public place where what you say is out of your control once you have said it. We should be practicing mindfulness in how we use the internet, like we used to back in the day.

    The common practice on Reddit used to be creating throwaway accounts (some still do that here) to ask those more personal questions, but I think more and more people are just destroying accounts all together every few months.

    It’s a less of an issue on the communities where people are asking for personal advice that is very bespoke to the person (even though that advice could in theory help others in the future) and more of an issue in the communities where knowledge is being shared.

    I think the larger hurdle on Lemmy will be the fact that there will always be many clashing ideologies and people will never agree on the way people should be living their lives.







  • Boiled down to “Me in charge. Come in” as a response to leadership.The reality is they rented out an office to hold 200 people, laid off half of them, and then were upset the place always looked empty when they brought clients around. It went from “You all need to be in office on Wednesdays, so we look like a big company”, to wanting everyone to return.

    The problem is a good majority of people had moved away during covid. Those were the first people to be laid off unless they were superstars. They had a lease agreement until 2026 and were already subletting the previous offices (They kept moving into new spaces as they grew before other leases were up) that also had long contracts. I am no longer there, but rumor is they are trying to sublet the 200 person office and find yet another small space. They are slowly turning into a real estate company.
