Yeah for most of human history being fat was seen as a sign of wealth and was considered attractive. It’s only recently that we started seeing skinniness as attractive.

It’s a frog with the face of a possum!

Yeah but try getting that fat during the stone age

Well, the Egyptians had the same art style pretty much unchanged for thousands of years. Archaeologists believe that their proportions were based on mathematics, and was probably taught as the only way to make art.
Many cultures have prioritized stylized art over realism.

Is this the cave where they built a full scale replica for visitors right next to the actual cave because the real cave is too sensitive to light?

Me reading most of the headline: yay!
Me reading the last two words of the headline: oh for fucks sake

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and I found myself loving Russell and Mill because there’s no pompousness to their writing. A lot of philosophers use very flowery language that’s hard to parse, but Russell just gets straight to the point, clear as day.
In my opinion, philosophy should be written clearly so anyone can understand it (looking at you, Heidegger)

In a more direct way, there is video evidence of Israeli soldiers delivering briefcases full of money to Hamas leaders. Netanyahu and his cronies want Hamas to be in charge of Palestine, because the last thing he needs is a competent and legitimate Palestinian government.

When I was 19, a girl told me at a party that I was the coolest guy in school. I was just flattered by the compliment and when I told my girlfriend about it later she said “Yeah she was totally hitting on you”.
I was like “Nah! Her? No way!”
Years later, I randomly thought about it and went “oh my god, she was hitting on me!”

Only because people couldn’t be bothered with learning the over-under cable coiling method.

I vape and I think these disposable vapes are an obscene waste that should not exist. Just get a decent mod, it’s cheaper in the long run anyway

I quit my job yesterday cause it fucking sucked.
I’m sad because no money but that place was a hellhole and it was making me miserable.
I need this encouragement bro

Homeless people are just losers who lost the game of Capitalism, their punishment is just and necessary for them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start a Fortune 500 company
/s

I’ll be dead in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouri!

My girlfriend also listens to prog metal so we take each other’s virginity every time we have sex

Wait until you hear about banks lol
They open after everyone’s at work and close before anyone finishes work
Because fuck you, that’s why

I finally know what inspired that weird Futurama episode!

Maybe it’s similar to how tree sap tastes different after you’ve boiled it down to syrup?
Maple sap has a pleasant, very mildly sweet flavor whereas maple syrup is the greatest thing on earth.

I’m not sure I completely agree. Yes there’s always been silly popcorn movies and genuine, thoughful works of art, but the problem is that the movies that focus less on spectacle and more on story and characters, tend to barely scrape by at the box office.
People pretty much only go to the cinema to see big-budget spectacles nowadays, when back in the day you’d go see lots of different types of movies.
Oppenheimer was the exception to the rule. It was such a breath of fresh air because it was a serious drama with barely any spectacle, but people actually went to see it. I see it as a sign of changing times. Marvel movies are increasingly flopping, and people crave sincerity in cinema again. I have nothing against silly comic book movies, but I don’t want those to be the only type of movie I see.
