that's not trenchant social commentary, that's some asshole dad passive aggressively criticizing his wife and children on social media

nah but if the wife went to therapy, the therapist would tell her that she needs to stand up to the abusive POS that is her husband, or else like ... leave him? or maybe he's a narcissist and wants both of them to go to couples therapy so his wife will be forced to pay even more attention to him, and there will be yet another person who has to listen to him complain?

pretty sure drones have ceramic parts unless it's all composite these dayspottery
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 30 December 2019 05:11 (four years ago) link
The trenchant commentator is correct. After all, "capitalist enterprises" make up (does some quick, back of the envelope calculations) nearly 100% of the economic activity in capitalist societies and STEM expertise seems to result in marginal improvements to basic manufacturing that generate increased profit margins more reliably than having the ability to throw pots.
― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 30 December 2019 05:32 (four years ago) link
Well yeah. Half of the observation is just a truism -- a capitalist economy is going to pay more for functions that are more valuable to capitalism. The rest is just silly. Ceramicists don't get paid six figures because we can just mass produce that shit. It has nothing to do with whether it kills people or not, and that's the most /trench part of the whole thing.

As long as it's OK that the product of the mass production is nearly indistinguishable from the original, then yes, that particular piece of pottery is almost certainly mass producible. The next question would be how big the market might be for machine-produced items exactly like that and what could be charged for them versus the cost of their production, including packaging, transport and ancillary costs. If the unit cost is too high, then there's no point in initiating mass production.

I don’t think ceramics is an actual degree though? It’s like Shakespeare. You can spend the vast majority of your coursework studying it but the degree is in English Lit or Art. Maybe it would be a BFA in Painting and Sculpture or mayyyyybe just Sculpture at an art school.

Most people who go to college and do ceramics have their degrees in sculpture if it’s even that specialized. Like no, just no
