it’s literally mentioned that Mark Mothersbaugh bought the ruby before carving it. It’s supposed to be a joke about the type of person who’d buy such a thing, well look in the mirror. imagine trying to make a mockery of rich people and this is the avenue you do it with

I used to like Devo. I still like their 70s stuff but they’ve never been as subversive as they claim to be.

Yeah same, I’ve been trying to find less stinky ants for my morning ant snort

Me when I’m in a shitting competition and my opponent is the mysterious multi-anus sea worm

yeah instead I have to settle for the two genres of mangled 18 fingered Lovecraft monster or Dreamworks style anime girl. cool

yeah that’s not the point of art nor what it is. What art looks like isn’t connected to the quality of it. Go get some perspective by engaging with artists sometime. I’m out. You’re not a serious person. See ya.

it’s so bleak and I can’t sympathize with their perspective at all. It’s like the most they get out of art is to see a picture or a movie and say it looks cool. Purely superficial. They don’t like art, they like decoration. They don’t actually care about seeing a representation of another perspective. They don’t care about themes, symbols, or what an artist is trying to communicate, nor do they even want to know.

even mediocre artists actually create art, which is something stable diffusion can’t do and will never be able to do. You completely misunderstand what art is and its purpose. It’s not just a nice looking picture or a meandering story. You understand art as a technical profession creating a product to sell, which is why you equate AI slop with art. Your earlier comment making a distinction between artists and “ordinary people” is completely wrong. The distinction between someone who’s an artist and otherwise isn’t technical proficiency or ability to make a picture. It’s a deeper skill than that, the ability to be creative, to have perspective. It’s an ability to communicate. AI can’t communicate because it doesn’t have a perspective, since it doesn’t actually know anything.

Found an article referencing McCarty as a “fire scientist” which is a really cool title. Seems like human drivers of fire is exactly what it sounds like, motivations and causes for why humans set fires.

“Death to America” is like our version of “and peace be with you.” It’s a nice phrase to say at the end of every statement.

Yeah this is why I didn’t do great with programming in college. I didn’t find any part of it interesting.

Is there any paleontological evidence for insects that made less efficient hives? That would be interesting to look into.

Although I gotta imagine bugs probably figured this stuff out so long ago there might not be much evidence anymore

Yeah I speak two languages and my brain is still filled with irrelevant information about trains

I appreciate Postal 2 because the premise is kinda funny. It’s deliberately designed so you can beat it without doing any violence at all. You’re given tasks like get milk, pick up your paycheck, etc. And it involves standing in lines or people berating you. You’re stuck doing tedious annoying repetitive tasks, or you can get a flamethrower. I think standing in line to get Gary Coleman’s autograph takes 90 minutes if you do it normally.

Otherwise it’s very silly early 2000s edgy white guy dudebro humor
