Just a big bay window

jopepa ,

You can get a similar effect at a park bench

Poison is sinister. How about microdosing reality?

jopepa ,

Just give it a second, Majesty. You’ll get your new subjects soon enough.

jopepa ,

Good for him, brushing your teeth and honest introspection isn’t easy when you hate yourself. He’s right about that art though, derivative trash.

jopepa ,

Oooo so anti authoritarian with a dash esoteric symbolism.

jopepa ,

I was being a little tongue in cheek because you were having a laugh about what you think of that art movement.

Postmodern art is better enjoyed with context. A urinal signed and put on a pedestal doesn’t mean or look like much of anything, but it’s more impactful when you understand the intention behind it –Duchamp and his fountain are worth reading about even though he pre dates the movement so it’s a little beside the point but he’s kinda the grandfather of the movement, so whatever he’s cool.

Classifying something as postmodern art isn’t about a shared aesthetic like renaissance, cubism, or pop art. It’s focus is typically less about the craft and more about the message. A lot of the time it’s mocking the status quo or the art world in general, other times it’s making a challenging statement in a challenging way.

“Comedian” or the banana taped to canvas seems like an artist phoning it in because their name has the value not the art anymore. Maybe it is just being silly and that’s all there was to it from conception to execution. On the other hand they worked on that for months, obessing over the type of tape and placement, chose the banana because it is iconic while also high risk to be wiped out from climate change and unveiled it in a studio in Miami.

If it’s only the former and this is a meaningless money laundering scheme like you suggested (most people laundering money don’t want global attention for only $150k). Even if that’s the case, we’re still talking about it 5 years later. So the purpose if art is fundamentally creating something greater than the sum of it’s parts then they fucking nailed it.

jopepa ,

That’s that sweet sweet anti authoritarianism I’m talking’ about!

jopepa ,

Did they pay out? How much money did he drop while running?

jopepa ,

Thats interesting, do you have a link?

jopepa ,

The best part of this former art is how it makes me smile without even seeing it. I wonder how the value would’ve adjusted if they hadn’t lost or museum hadn’t sued to begin with. Not surprised the court ruled for the museum, though. The art world’s weird; a Banksy gets shredding and becomes more valuable because of it.

jopepa ,

I get you’re joking, but just in case there’s any earnestness there and you’ve been hurting your own feelings lately. I’d like you to know that acknowledging self loathing is honest introspection and a good first step, the self loathing itself is more like self harm and generally dishonest. If there is any honesty in it, try and practice more self compassion.

Shit’s tough out here, you matter and people care about you. Keep going friend :)

jopepa ,

However you want to enjoy art is cool, but narrowing the definition seems like an arbitrary reason to limit what you can be open to enjoy. Context≠explaining it, though.

Didn’t mean to art-splain at you by the way, no offense intended.

jopepa ,

I mean it captures the antiestablishment spirit that’s in a lot of it, but this artist essentially commited fraud, so not the fairest light to shine on the rest of them.

jopepa ,

How so?

jopepa ,

Yeeees, quite truly sooo. Tis valueless, unsophisticated, drivel. Feigning airs of such pretension. Huhuhuhaaaa. Much like that hippy hop and the rock N roll bally hoo.

jopepa ,

It sounds like you’re suggesting self compassion is a lack of self-accountability, but they aren’t the same. So your premise is flawed.

People care because it comes naturally to us, people that can’t or don’t have personality disorders and that’s a different burden to live with. Even they don’t deserve to be trapped in depression and self hatred and nobody ever got better by hurting themselves.

Apathy sucks. It’s lazy, boring, not as cool as your nihilistic antiheroes have led you to believe, and is just a bummer to be around.

I don’t want to keep enaging with your negatively, but sincerely hope you’re doing okay and finding healthy happiness in your life.

jopepa ,

Of course you’re welcome. I’ve gone through similar thought patterns and it sucks to be stuck in a head space like that. Glad you’re half joking, rooting for you to lock down that second half.

Don’t be stranger if you need one. Good luck.

Crab Bucket Effect

jopepa ,

I took your last comment as a dismissal of an entire art movement for being pretentious, ironically sounds pretty pretentious, so I made a goof of it.

Knowing you’re railing against art dealers and collectors in general, I get your point and share the sentiment to an extent. Personally, I think placing high value on arts preserves them longer than they could be otherwise. The global museum tours make them more accessible and raise funds for art programs while doing so. Sure there’s a lot of bad actors in any field but I don’t think the art trade is necessarily a net negative for society.

jopepa ,

Good question with a pretty ambiguous answer for anyone that’d try to answer.

For me it’s a combination of skill, intention, and impact. Like a shaky handed sharpie tag on a bus stop isn’t much of anything, but when it says, “kill your local heroin dealer” that’s impactful. The shaky lines start to show the styling they had intended but can’t capture anymore. I’d call that art even though it was painted over a week later.

In other news the CEO of Philip Morris says, “cigarettes are not cool and kill people.”

Even if there was any truth to the benefit of a shared workspace, why would this moron advocate for it? I swear CEOs are acting like the Producers more and more every day.

jopepa ,

But what about this extra 10%?

jopepa ,

Vegas odds on the original owner having a matching mustache and penciled eyebrows?

jopepa ,

A Greek and Canadian disagreeing on Spanish makes me feel like my mono and thee quarters linguistic ass needs to try harder.

jopepa ,

Am I supposed to believe you’re not furniture either? Nice try you shifty stack of maple drawers.

Edit: ¿“Por” no es “for” en ingles?

¿Para qué no les dijiste cómo?

jopepa ,

You’re welcome thanks yourself

jopepa ,

Isn’t it strange how languages have tons of homonyms we hardly notice while having synonyms for almost anything else? Thanks for sharing I’ll check that out.

jopepa ,

Tighten the straight jacket and put more padding on the walls I can’t imagine anyone wants to hear or see her ever again.

jopepa ,

Idk I’ve had a relationship where climax scores were kept. The opposite of casual sex might be a relationship between petty people.

jopepa ,

Climax score=number orgasms

No, porn wasn’t a part of that relationship. I was disagreeing with parent comment that porn is competitive sex. From my personal experience with a partner that made score keeping in the bedroom a thing and in doing so made sex competitive.

jopepa ,

Yes we did

jopepa ,

If anyone knows about toxic family dynamics it’s Neptune.

jopepa ,

To be clear: I’m not going to bat for any gods over here, but a lot of his bad pr was from the Greek franchise.

jopepa ,

Damn did you order this after a no call no show? They even gave you the green papery ring.

jopepa ,

Whatever your opinion of the business and products, it’s a hard argument to make against their tangible UI.

jopepa ,

I meant like their tactile hardware, specifically. They make things that feel dialed in and designed for intuitive use, aesthetics, and quality feel. Considering car manufacturers have been big fans molded plastic with sharp unbeveled edges for the past 20 years with uncomfortable interiors, I’m curious what they would come up with instead.

I don’t do much under the hood work with my computers though and I’ve heard that they sacrifice a lot of that versatility to make users of all experience levels pretty intuitive, so I can imagine that would be frustrating for someone working on them. So I think I get what you’re saying.

jopepa ,

Just so long as Microsoft stays out of the car game I’m happy.

Oh boy, I envy you getting to enjoy the spectacle of Cave Johnson for the first time. For full effect play portal 2 (can’t remember if it’s coop or solo play so play both for good measure) or if you don’t have the time you can find a super cut of all of his recordings. I will explain no more because the written word has nothing on JK Simmons

jopepa ,

“Beard dirt”

jopepa ,

Does he have any recordings hidden in the co op mode? Its been like ten years but I remember laughing hysterically playing that with my dad so the memories kinda blend Glados’ nonsense with Cave’s

jopepa ,

Did not know about portal VR, guess I’m heading back in for some testing

jopepa ,

Desecrating corpses never killed anyone. A lot of evil shit doesn’t result in death

jopepa ,

To be clear, I don’t think you’re advocating for eugenics. So I hope you don’t feel attacked/defensive by any of the following:

I can’t speak for anyone who’s living with an impossibly difficult disease, but the fact that so many people are living their lives, finding happiness, and making contributions despite everything they have to get through every day says enough to me that denying their right to exist isn’t solving a problem and is denying the world of their life.

The problem with eugenics (aside from the obvious history of racism) is that it’s looking at the problem from the wrong angle entirely. Instead of working to make things easier for people with disabilities and working towards cures, advocates for it think the problem is contained and solved by pruning the “problem” vines. We’re people, not produce. People that are neurodivergent, differently abled, or even severely disabled, all belong because we have enough to make room for them to thrive in whatever capacity they can. Whether we’re doing enough is a different conversation.

Iceland isn’t mandating people to abort chromosomal anomalies, that’s a choice the families make for themselves. So it’s beside the point. More so, it’s not like that can be eradicated either because anyone can parent a kid with DS. Huntingtons might be a valid concern, but sterization is a decision for those suffering it to determine themselves. That’s not eugenics.

Equating eugenics with family planning is irresponsible because it validates one very bad and widely rejected avenue of science because it’s slightly adjacent to a human right that is valid. Supposing that they are the same ignores history and risks spreading ideology that leads to making those same mistakes again.

TL;DR: GATTACA!

jopepa ,

What’s your deal? Are you a grammar Nazi edge lord or just regular Nazi?

jopepa ,

Plenty of trolls don’t lean into Nazi ideology, why do you?

jopepa ,

Maybe if there was any humor to glean from your “jokes” that might be very noble of you. Regardless of a /s or not what your saying is gross.

Edit: in other words, not good enough, why are you like this?

jopepa , (edited )

Sarcasm or satire without purpose like what you’re doing now (best case scenario) is roleplaying and enough of that starts to leach into your own belief systems. This specific ideology alienates you from regular people and puts you in a social corner where the only ones that would want to humor your unfunny bits are Nazis.

I really hope you spend some time tuning your values and sense of humor, because Nazis never win, they’re never loved, they’re sad, mean, and lonely.

She insisted so compromise, edit. Anyways if your still checking back on these Ian, she also wanted me to tell you casserole’s in the oven and she’s coming not home tonight so take out the dogs, please.
