why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

"You've earned a Top Fan badge for Andy Dick"

I don’t even get the title of this thread but

Thread title was in response to an image bearing this quote, or some variation thereof:

"When you buy from an independent artist you are buying more than just a painting or a novel or a song. You are buying hundreds of hours of experimentation and thousands of failures. You are buying days, weeks, months, years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You are buying nights of worry about paying the rent, having enough money to eat, having enough money to feed the children, the birds, the dog. You aren't just buying a thing, you are buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a private moment in someone's life. Most importantly, you are buying that artist more time to do something they are truly passionate about; something that makes all of the above worth the fear and the doubt; something that puts the life into the living."

- Rebekah Joy Plett

I was planning to buy something from an independent artist today but now I don't know, seems like a lot of responsibility!

why does the statue look like it's in some sort of wasteland

those are definitely unused props from Raised By Wolves

facebook sucks so bad but i joined a new group called "big tree seekers" that is pretty good so far, just nice pictures of big trees.

One of my favourite fb groups is 'Craft beer and cats.' which is exactly as described.

I used to really enjoy cat groups on FB like Catspotting but they ended up having way too many posts from ppl eulogizing their just deceased cats. Don't mean to come across as heartless but I don't need another source for getting bummed out.

The new "Artist thing" of course is Facebook reels that either don't make sense or are just embarassing.

Neanderthal plagiarized it.

3 sides fingers to every story

why do i hate that thing so much where people post stuff like: "Mozart would have been 412 today...."

i mean saying happy birthday to a long-dead person who isn't related to you always seemed kinda lame anyway - who cares? - but telling people how old that person would have been if...they...were alive?

i don't get it.

a huge part of the problem with all memes, posts, shares and internet humor now is that they're all bogged down with baroquely cutesy wording to try and freshen up a banal observation, minor factoid, or low-wattage punchline. typically by just plugging it into whatever was last summer's trending sassy verbal construction. everything is just encrusted with verbiage.

I still hear these memes in Mary Hart's voice.

"Celebrating a birthday today, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at 412 years young!"
