Come say le way with me, lads

But there’s larger channels with more success from creators who are pieces of shit.

It’s nitpicky, and it doesn’t matter in the slightest, but they’re right, the phrasing is a bit much

In highschool, someone as a joke put a banana in the laptop pouch of my backpack, figuring that I’d find it later that day and wonder where it came from.

I didn’t have a laptop, and I didn’t use that pouch. It was a separate zipper, and was heavily padded, and I had no idea it was there. They forgot about it.

After a few days, I kept noticing a wet spot wherever I set my bag down. After a few weeks, the weird rotting look at the bottom of my bag was too much to ignore. I investigated, and the horrors that were at the bottom of that pouch are not the likes I’d speak here.

I had a lot of fun with some of y’all on this (even if you were on the wrong team…!)

antibiotics

I’m pretty sure we’re banning those soon

Doesn’t beer go bad?

The person in the OP is suggesting that doctors should just believe patients with a history of mental instability and a group of coherent peers all in agreement that they’re likely having a psychotic break that a person is living in the attic above their home (which is a common delusion for, say, schizophrenics). The patient self-describes herself as “crazy at the time”. If anyone dropped the ball here, it’s the police or her friends for not looking in to it; a psychiatric doctor who investigates every semi plausible claim that comes their way will be quite busy indeed.

I genuinely have zero idea how you came to any of the conclusions you did based on what I said. Maybe there’s more context to the comment you were originally talking about, but nowhere did I ever even imply that artists should “aim for” or pander to the common denominator. I’m saying that, no matter the artists intentions, no matter how obvious or on the nose the messaging is, there are going to be cops with Punisher tattoos, and teenagers with stolen cars and guns listening to Kendrick Lamar. If you make a movie about how the Nazis were psychopathic fascists who eventually get destroyed, there will be people who can’t get over how cool their aesthetic was. None of this is to say that this art should not exist, I’m not detracting from the artists. I’m pointing out a flaw in society. Messaging in art, no matter how well crafted, will never say the same thing to everyone, for better or worse.

Why are you talking as if their argument is completely nonsensical or novel? It’s kind of a known thing that even if you portray something as “bad” as possible, there will be a number of people that look past/ don’t see the criticism of the subject and take the creation of work as a sign that the subject is to be praised. Look at the music industry with gang violence, misogyny and drug use; lots of more modern artists make music that shows how these things harm society, yet casual listeners will put on a song about alcohol abuse to get drunk at a party.

It isn’t necessarily that the artist is advocating for it, so much as they’ve produced a work that can be misinterpreted (unintentionally or otherwise) to do so.

Musth is a periodic condition in male elephants characterized by aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones.

The image from the OOP is in the article. TL;DR, male elephants get crazy angry when they’re horny you assert their dominance.
