Thanks, now it makes some sense.

Mostly because my cape is improvised and I need something to hold it in place, which usually means my pauldron, but I only wear that on special occasions. It also sheds a lot of lint.

How are those words real?

GW? Global warming? Guild Wars? Gigawatt?

What is this karma of which you speak?

I agree that it can get fatiguing after umpteen days, but it's only been like a day or two.

Windows Explorer can now open other types of archive, but it's really slow about extracting at least some of them compared to 7zip.

I can respect that you don't torch the art for the sins of the artist, but not everyone feels the same way. Remember the drama around Hogwarts Legacy?

I'm gonna copy one of my comments from last time:

As a person involved in creative works, I don’t think this is healthy in the long run. If a fella was a bigot once, and you denounce them every time they’re brought up, that comes off as you saying they shouldn’t be allowed to do creative work because they were a bigot once.

On a personal level, I don’t really have as much to fear from that because I’ve never been a hater (though I’ve certainly said things in the past that can be misconstrued.) But I work with teams. I have a concern that one day, one of my teammates on one of my favorite projects might get exposed for something I had no way of knowing, that might have only occured years before I met them, and then the reputation of that project is going to be forever tainted. That could be hundreds of hours of work and passion down the drain.

We got the memo last time. It's just a meme, y'all don't have to bring this kind of stuff up every time he's mentioned.

Fountain is in the realm of trolling art museums, and I appreciate that. I also appreciate the dadaist sentiment of rejecting art snobbery.

I'm not a huge fan of the "everything is art" mindset, but I don't mind it on its own. The part that's bothering me, which you're highlighting, is the Emperor's New Clothes treatment some of these pieces, like The Treachery of Images, get. The art sages say it's a thought provoking masterpiece. I say it's simple, and I get called a simpleton.

I'm not saying you have to agree with my opinion. Just let me have it in peace. Don't let dadaism turn back into snobbery.

There's a difference between acknowledging it and feeling like you should let everyone know any time it's brought up.

It walks and talks like hatred and grudge-holding, which isn't exactly healthy.

I don't mind if it actually makes me think. I'd like it to be aesthetically interesting anyways.

I do mind if a cheap trick (like "this isn't a pipe, it's just a picture of a pipe") gets touted as a thought-provoking masterpiece. Because then if I say I don't like it, I get accused of not wanting to think.

Of course the day after reading this, I encounter it for the first time, in my ML class.

I guess it's not hugely common, but it still happens and nobody seems to question it. Like not too long ago with Lovecraft, for example.

I beg your pardon?

Why has it become normal to list a public figure's sins when they're the subject of a meme?
