My brother that is a sapient animal beyond the explanation of science 🙏 it has no business near a dinner plate

😧

The home depot near me ran out of these. I had to drive to the next town over just to find they only had them going the other direction. Guess my DIY project is on hold

Yeah this what they were eating when they ratted on Luigi

My pleasure, thanks for bearing with me through all the typos in that reply

Since Velma was quick and already pretty well defined what we know about cave paintings, I’d actually like to add on to your question since this is one of my favorite topics.

There’s a lot of art out there that was created because artists set out to create something that isn’t specifically political. That’s a little harder to escape politics on because the artists had a motive in mind when they wanted to pursue that goal. Something of note though that was in popular discourse around four years ago though was Zombie Formalism which was shown to be created as a genre of painting used as fiat currency for the wealthiest people to exchange and launder money. While that context is pretty political, if you only look at the intent of the artists they were trying to make art that said as little as possible in order to not draw any attention and be an effective form of untaxed currency. That could be a plausible bet, depending on how you personally invoke Death of the Author

It is though. Pretending it isn’t is also a choice with a political motive. You don’t necessarily have to act on every feeling it gives you though, which is kind of freeing once you learn to enjoy art like that

Had this disturbing ass dream this week about some kind of disgusting crust-punk antihero in a comic book kind of story. He walks into a pawn shop on the way to some kind of crisis or other to pick up a CD. His comic book superhero power is he can absorb the personality and some associated abilities of a musician who’s CD he can listen to. He attempts to steal this CD from the pawn shop despite it being only like $2 and is confronted by the angry owner.

“You’re no superhero. You’re only stealing that piece of trash because you don’t have the balls!”

The balls- to what is not verbally specified. It’s implied perhaps to pay for it or act less antisocial. But as I, some unfortunate onlooker of some kind discover, what is actually meant is “the balls to play that CD, take on the personality of a more violent criminal musician, take up residence in the apartment above the pawn shop, and rule over the building as a squatter/slumlord for at least a week”. The shop owner seemed to want this to happen and the guy just completely gives up on his superhero task to do this until somebody comes looking for him. The absurdity of it and the overall grossness of the rest of the dream have completely made me forget most other dreams I’ve remembered recently

I used to get better success when I would use certain activities to sublimate the emotions my weird or stupid dreams gave me. Going for drives, walks, or some other kind of solitary travel was my favorite method. It helps them move from being discordant or shitty thoughts that I don’t identify with into something I can look at, think about how it happened, then move on.

Obviously that’s not always an option for everyone though

How WAS that junkie immune to the whole “prep time” meme. Do his roids counter plot devices and gadgets?

No, in this place that’s totally valid. This is like the discourse equivalent of Appalachia inbred bloodlines

(Your post got removed but mine didn’t. Somehow the hivemind missed that I was agreeing with you)

Yeah dude was on some bullshit.

Thank you!

There have been a few colonies since the 1880’s. I guess they were mostly commercial ventures. I know I shouldn’t have partiality to foreign conflicts like this but this was my first introduction to the subject. Youtube / Invidious

Obviously I need to examine this more

Wait. I have this confused. This isn’t the island that one Argentinian cowboy claimed? I’m about to show my full ignorant ass here.

Edit: oh, this is the place I was thinking of. I just have not heard of this side of the narrative. Are the people that voted native Falklanders/Argentine or are they connected to that UK airbase on the island?

Pretty much describes the situation. That Falklands bit is wack too though. Crazy to think there are still places that if poor enough the UK will just be like “You know, maybe we DO still have a couple peasant colonies. Did they really earn the same sovereignty as India and Australia? Nobody will care”

I don’t think we’ll react to things on our own soil anymore. There have been several moments in the last two years that should have been go-time for a country wide indefinite strike or anything. But every time somebody does something, the news cycle works its magic and gets us to fall in line. There are no more Luigi’s in America

I had been unaware of that facet of their relationship, I only knew about him cheating on her when she was sick. I should rewrite my post.
