I may be missing a joke, but Bob Ross does this by using a lot of shortcuts and brush stroke techniques. I think he’s respected but I don’t think most artists feel at all outclassed. I paint too and while I love the idea of him showing that anyone can paint, I wouldn’t really want my landscapes to look like his do.

No hate towards him at all but it’s just a different way of painting that kindof maximizes time to output efficiency. But I enjoy painting, and I’m good with a painting taking 20 hours.

Seriously, it turns out all it took to get regular people to support hitler was to just get a 2nd hitler.

It short circuits them

IQ isn’t real. You claim to be forced by the system to hate Indians. I think you’re not the leftist you think you are

Zionists conflate Jewishness and the existence of the political state of Israel. To the point that any Jew that does not support Israel as a state or the actions of Israel is considered not a real Jew or a kind of race traitor.

This controlling of the thoughts and actions of Jews by zionists who may even be christian themselves is very much antisemetic

A state is not owed the allegience of a people based on their ancestry or belief

I bought such a tiny eensy weensy property and now I have to use it to exploit someone. Otherwise someone will exploit me. I’m so tiny and smol I can’t handle the exploitation that you all do, that’s why I have to exploit you all. Pwease, no more bad feelings, thank you!

If you don’t like the “lick-my-ass/or-be-homeless setup”, try not being a landlord.

I’m such a smol bean landlord, pwease forgive me hexbear, I just have to exploit another human being for my own financial gain but it gives me a sad uwu

Seriously, the responses are wild.

Next there’s going to be a poster who just happened to get a job as a cop trying to get sympathy for hiding that he’s currently undercover while hanging out with friends cause he doesn’t want to be treated like a pig. And the commenters will be like - oh it’s okay some cops are chill

Wild

The power dynamic IS the fact that you and you alone have a choice in how this relationship works (landlord/tenant vs flatmate/flatmate). Wild that after “managing” to own property you would start using your power to twist relationships to your own end. Who would have guessed a landlord would be power tripping and shady

People have the ability to contexualize. Revolutions have been won by people who believe a god controls everything. They still found the motivation to act with a group of humans for their material needs.

Your problem is one of priority. I agree these things aren’t material, but it truly matters so little. Astrologists still protest, christians still read marx.

I think you should analyze why these specific beliefs cause you so much anger that you call your comrades on this forum idiots.

You can make all of the same points about tv, video games, movies, fiction books, playing sports, religion, and on and on. Why is the distraction more associated with women the one you think needs called out?

It’s absolutely false. Go outside and look at couples walking around or in restaurants. Our perceptions of actual romance are so skewed. Most people are just kindof normal looking. In reality its like the top 90 percent of men get 90 percent of women

For women on dating apps there is a huge amount of risk to their safety tied to any match. So if the vibes aren’t immaculate or the vibes are good but the person is just pretty cute then it might not be worth the risk.

For men seeking women there is a question of whether the match will be a disspointment or a waste of money. But for women it’s am I going to die. So of course only a tiny percent of men on effectively anonymous dating apps pass the vibes and initial attraction tests to be worth that risk.

I’m always afraid to recommend it because I’ve never heard anyone talk about it- but I would recommend Station Eleven. Its post-apocalyptic after a covid-like disease. But unlike every other apocalyptic media it has so much love for people. It has some very sad moments but it’s so wholesome. And I loved their little traveling commune.

I remember when people were saying that texting and abbreviations like LOL were the end of books and language as we know it.

A lot of this is just old people looking to blame the woes of society on a group they are definitively not part of. Can’t be because of capitalism that people are living with their parents, if that were the case then maybe old people would have to accept some blame.
