Also art vs content
“Man, I’m sorry, they said some pretty harsh things about what you wrote.”
Every writer:
“I don’t care! Someone actually read it!”
Reminds me of this comedy routine
low common denominator content attracts the low common denominator
I shitpost about my sister’s feet on Lemmy and teach Jesus’ dharma and sometimes the Buddha’s, if he’s talking to me, again, fackin’ dick. But y’know, I’m as much of a (f)artist as anyone else that actively discredits themselves to teach what the CIA taught them, whilst on and not on psychedelics, cuz those fackin’ pussies can’t handle me exposing everything they’re doing to me.
We are all working class
I’m the pottery/ceramics world we have the debate all the time about if pottery is a craft or art. Personally I think it’s a art that can be functional.
Things can be both at the same time
Yes this is true but when you have the mindset that you are an artist but people are telling you nothing but a crafts person it can be kind of demoralizing. Especially if you’re a woman. Because of course men can be great artists but women are not considered anything but crafts people. Just look at fiber arts and the way people are treated there
Especially if you’re a woman.
I’m pissed that this world has me so jaded I immediately spotted the “logic” behind this. Because of course it has its roots in traditional gender roles that made sense when they developed but are now so outdated that everyone still clinging to them should be stripped of every post-industrial comfort and luxury.
When you can divide your jobs into “can be done around the house while keeping an eye on the kids, the stew and your pregnant sister” and “requires you to walk out to some acre and tend to the crops”, pottery and textiles both fall into the former category. When you divide the people into “Can do walk-out-to-the-acres jobs year round” and “needs to stay at home while pregnant or nursing”, the second group are obviously going to be doing the first type of job more. Hence, when a medieval peasant woman makes a nice vase, it’s a craft (that also happens to have some art to it, because people liked nice things).
When you’re in a modern, industrialised world where making cups and sweaters is a pastime rather than necessity, many jobs don’t require a lot of physical labour and medicine has made pregnancies both safer and less frequent, none of those distinctions matter any more.
Hence, when you make a nice piece of pottery that happens to double as something functional, what’s in your pants doesn’t matter. You’re an artist (whose art happens to have a function).
I imagine the same argument is made with the glass blowing community. It’s incredible what those create.
Same thing with woodworking!
Ngl this is such a hilarious post haha 🤣
I mean, the name “creator” is apt. They create bullshit videos out of anything.
Doesn’t mean it’s good
but people love bullshit. they gorge themselves on it none stop all day.
podcast listeners listen to it this shit for hours and hours. because it’s junk food that’s easy to have on in the background.
you guys have slow cashiers??? (used to german supermarkets)
a lot of places there are no cashiers anymore in USA. it’s self-service only, and yeah it’s slow af because people dont know how to check themselves out, get confused, and have to wait for a manager to come help them, which of course, takes 5m to even show up.
Oh shit
I’ve never listened to a podcast like that. It sounds like low effort reality TV style content.
Me either but I do get ads for them plugged into the podcast I do listen to. I guess I appreciate those idiots paying for the content I do listen to, all it costs me is hitting skip 30s 4-5 times.
Others are not you
Impossible.
Don’t listen to that guy, I’m definitely you.
Thanks other me. I know me when I see me.
I just need one more guitar pedal and the world will be ready.
looks behind him at his guitar corner
Am I out of touch and maybe I have enough already? … no its the
childrenlisteners who are wrong!How many pedals do you play shows with?
Depends how many power sockets are available.
Just get a power supply, problem solved.
Set up a giant hamster wheel connected to a battery with a meter. Ask for a few volunteers to come on stage to run it. Tell them they have about 7 seconds between stopping the wheel and the battery running out, so that’s how fast transitions need to happen for the show to keep playing.
yes
whats that? no i dont know how to play yet
I had a former coworker who started on a proper Martin. Made me sick. Money definitely doesn’t buy talent.
If you can afford it, properly setup good quality instruments (particularly guitars) are much easier to play.
There’s a famous actor guy who got into pottery and even though his stuff is meh all of a sudden he’s an ceramic expert and is mass producing his designs. Kinda pisses me off that those of us who are not already famous have to work 20xs harder to get out stuff out in the world and he just gets a pass because he’s an actor.
This meme has always felt like it came from another universe.
In a world where yapping podcasts aimed at men are derided, this is the one meme that portrays them in a positive light.
are yapping podcasts aimed at women not derided?
what about unisex yapping podcasts?
I made released an album last year, spent the previous year working on it. Probably about 100 listens so far, across all the tracks, but it’s fine 🥲 I’ve been using it like a demo, taking some of the songs to my new band, so they can hear what I had in my head!
Link?
https://jimmyhalliday.bandcamp.com/
Or if Bandcamp’s not your bag, I also put them on YouTube, just look up “Jimmy Halliday”!
Hell man that’s so good music! I hope you keep it up!!!
Thanks! I’m absolutely keeping it up, I’m in an actual band now!
That is awesome to hear! I can’t wait to hear what’s next. The world needs more punk. Hit me up if you need a roadie when you hit it big.
For sure!
Saved for a listen when I am home.
No foolin’, that was great. My girlfriend liked it too!
Fuck yes! That’s going straight into the playlist!
Hell yeah! Thanks, dude! Same!

Interactions like these are why I love the comment section. It’s great when a post ends up being a vehicle for conversation
“Came for the meme, stayed for the comments”
Me, who edits comments over and over until I believe they convey my message correctly.
You, who didn’t even double check that your fingers were on the home row, but submitted the comment, regardless.
That feeling after your 4th edit, when the story you wrote out finally flows cleanly and doesn’t have any snags that will spur an internet argument, then you hit cancel and move on without posting it.
Typing out the comment then delete it is therapeutic, but without the traumatisation of getting piled on.
After my Reddit ban now I’m really cautious what I post anywhere. I’m traumatized
For me it was Discord. Entered a server, was all cool, but people there had the weird habit of making bots and saying “hey that’s my alter” (no, “Hawk Two” as in Two from BFDI riding a hawk is not your alter ego no way). I tried to say those jokes weren’t funny, guess what? Got doxxed.
I’m sorry that happened to you.
Well, atleast I learnt to listen when people warn you to not join specific websites.
And now I’m super freaked out because I’ve been hearing all the people getting their Google accounts and emails completely IP banned. It honestly should not be allowed that they can completely IP ban you and all of your accounts. Like it should be a month-long ban or a few month long ban or something. It should not be allowed that your permanently banned for the rest of your life for something like stupid Reddit or Google because they’re like pretty much a Monopoly

I hate that bro
yeah and I mean I’ve got ice cream RIGHT on the conveyor belt and she KNOWS it
I can neither confirm nor deny these statements
TBF the home row wouldn’t matter. There’s enough food stuck between the keys that what you press isn’t what you get anyway.
shit that’s where my gummi bears went thanks

I love that type of editor! It’s called Ai.
I have that habit. Then I get really angry replies where people accuses me of stealth editing posts.
I usually edit several times to avoid typos but when I edit to correct my comment because I was told I was wrong and they were right, I usually cross the old text so poorly know I was wrong and the other comments don’t seem crazy or me disingenuous.
some stupid thing or lacking proper contextnah I was wrong.He’s like worse than Hitler.
Nice stealth edit bro…
I occasionally append an edit line to my first submission to fuck with the convention police
Edit: why all the downvotes??
…edits comments over and over - and often after posting them.
Forgot about home row, they tried to teach me to type their way but I didnt like that
Now I type faster than most but thats not saying much
However I look at the keyboard only, instead of the screen only like they tried to teach
My way I can move my fingers as fast as possible and i’m accurate, I know what key I hit so I know what it says on the screen without looking
try Dvorak
Isn’t that just keys in different places. How does that help long term?
Haven’t tried it personally, but from what I know it’s supposed to fix some of QWERTY’s pitfalls. QWERTY was originally made for typewriters and has some things in mind to avoid jamming (i.e. placing letters that appear next to each other in words far from each other on the keyboard). Modern keyboards don’t have those mechanical limitations any more; from what I know DVORAK and other alternative layouts try to optimise things by placing most used letters on the home row and alternating between hands, but now have to overcome the fact that maybe 99% of people are used to QWERTY.
I mean like if that’s what happens then like whatever it is is what it is like if I don’t feel like finishing my thought what are you gonna do about it it’s just really whatever you know?
