Art as an experience by John Dewey (not that one, or the other one) would probably agree it is art

Red flags

Costume design was a highlight

I didn’t argue that it shouldn’t. The difference is the ease of creation. It now requires no skill or talent to produce it so the game has changed and it needs to be addressed and not dismissed

Imagine collecting the smartest people on the planet from 100 years ago and explaining this.

Yeah sure except now to make deep fake porn you just need to go ‘famous star naked riding an old man’s cock’ set 8 images for each seed and set a job of 100 images, turn the air con to antarctic and make misogynistic videos about why movies are woke while the job slowly cooks your studio

Then when you finish you probably have some good images of whatever famous star you like getting railed by an old man and you can hop on YouTube and complain that people don’t think you are an artist.

It requires almost no effort or talent to make a boatload of deep fake material. If you put any effort in you can orchestrate an image that looks pretty good.

Fallout London is about to release and it’s a massive under taking. They are hoping to attract people who haven’t played in years. Trying to get them to install the right version because Todd Howard isn’t as easy as your dismissal suggests

And vinegar so vinegary that it blows the taste buds of your descendants for 500 years

Don’t you feel that’s a bit rich coming from the country who started or been at the centre of most of the wars for the last 80?

You all need fibre in your life

It depends on the industry. Huge publicly traded organizations are basically as bad as government

Is deep dish pizza considered American, Italian, or culinary cancer?

Happy Canberra noises

I think you tubes algorithm looks for things that are new to you and then loads you up on that. For example, I had an event that has caused my tinnitus to spike and I found a 10 hour video to listen to while I work that helps mask it. Now my entire fucking feed is overrun by different coloured noises and quack/chiropractors telling me to pull my ears to heal my tomorrow

You don’t study algebra, interest, statistics, calculus, geometry,etc? Just addition and subtraction for all of primary, middle, and high school?

Is this American exceptionalism?

He isn’t even self made. His grandfather gave him a loan and his boss supported him in his initial start

He got his start with a loan from his grandfather and with extensive support from his boss

There is a big gap between not tolerating and supporting bigotry and being personally offended by something.

On the other hand, Rawlings uses her success as a public validation for her bigotry. So it is fair to opt out of supporting her artistry.

Secondly, bigotry is layered in her books.

• family is better than being free of abuse
• slavery is funny, also they like it
• goblins are a terrible caricature of Jewish people
• general acceptance of eugenics in daily society
