Tchaikovsky also had a collection of piano music, where the tale is that a magazine paid him to do it and he literally waited till the last day for each piece to write it. ie he wouldn't have written those pieces had it not been paid for.
but it's still an appreciated within the classical piano scene
I think the debate of what's "art" came from the observation that, when someone calls something else "an art", it's interpreted as "that person deems the thing highly desirable in some way"
faint panther
obviously people sell their work, otherwise artists wouldn't exist in a capitalist society
swift valley
and so when other people argue "no, the thing is not art", theyre saying "I don't find beauty/value in that thing"
faint panther
and just because someone puts out a lot of things doesn't mean it's mass produced. mass production means it's optimised and simplified for greatest efficiency and also can't just be done by one specific person
swift valley
algorithmically generated music and art are getting closer (or has reached) human-level indistinguishable levels from human-created paintings and music
faint panther
to get back to cod games, the reason i find it difficult to call them art is that they come out on a yearly schedule and are produced by one of three completely different studios each year and still play and feel exactly the same each time
swift valley
right, so you don't find much value and desirablity in them
faint panther
it's not really about what i find in it, it's about what the creators very obviously don't put in: effort, meaning, expression. same game every year with slight adjustments to current trends, be it wallrunning or a battle royal mode
they're not even really creating something, just doing the same thing again
swift valley
I don't disagree with that, just that going from this to "anything created purely for monetary gain cannot be art" is a stretch

algorithmically generated music and art are getting closer (or has reached) huma...
- You are just a robot, an imitation of life. Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?
- Yes.
swift valley
arguably those aren't low-effort up-front, since a lot of work needs to be done in terms of digitization and programming
faint panther
i guess i could've phrased it better, but by "doing it for profit" i meant creating something to get rich or famous, not making a living off it

How'd they tell you?
Did they say it was your fault or something?
Or are your parents still married and you wished they'd get divorced
zenith olive
i was too young to remember but from what my mother has told me
she packed up all her personal belongings, stuff she needed to take care of me (ex. baby clothes and other things needed to take care of an infant) and drove off while he was at work
they got divorced 4 years later
it took a long time for it to get finalized, probably because he kept making all these outlandish claims, and mostly because it was one big custody battle as well
i was too young for either of them to tell me
but thats literally how it went down lol

Not something I wrote, but this is from the pusillanimous entry in Merriam Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.
Do you know someone who has a small, weak spirit, someone whose reserve of inner strength is too small to draw from in times of danger and adversity? If so, you'll find pusillanimous to be the perfect descriptor for that person. The Latin roots of this derisive adjective are pusillus, meaning "very small" (and related to pusus, meaning "boy") and animus, which means "spirit" and is the ancestor to many words in our language, including "animal" and "animate." Pusillanimous first appeared in English in the 16th century, but it gained prominence in the 1970s when Vice President Spiro Agnew famously accused his ideological rivals of "pusillanimous pu**yfooting." And despite what you may have heard, pusillanimous does not serve as the basis for pu**yfoot, pu**ycat, or a certain related vulgarism.
There we go.
If you want to rewrite that as Skelly, go ahead. Seems hard.

some other people hate anime bc they are sure it teaches kids to be agressive and suicidal. They think that everything that is cartoon is made for kids and for kids only. When asked, why do they think so, they don't know what to answer. Just because.

if this is everyone's premise for disowning companies every single major company in the world should be boycotted
faint canyon
New owner can just be as bad as Bezos
faint panther
how can there be policies to protect workers if they have a hundred lobbyists making sure nothing gets done
faint canyon
Then the real problem here is the law, not the company
bitter magnet
time to boycott earth because no govt will ever provide me with fair treatement
because it will always be flawed
in some way
or the other
faint panther
omg
they choose to do this stuff.
just because it's not illegal doesn't make it okay
faint canyon
They choose it because they’re allowed to
bitter magnet
this is just a flaw in h u m a n i t y
tranquil bay
you realize the more effective way to deal with this is an entire restructurement of the company and those that work at the top and not... boycotts right
which is like. unfortunately not happening
faint panther
they choose to because they're greedy.
faint panther
bezos, the rest of the board scum, whoever makes millions of dollars while people starve
tranquil bay
anyone who is a billionaire is inherently greedy lmao there is literally no purpose on earth for which you need obscene amounts of money that we can't possibly begin to conceptualize
faint canyon
Imo, it’s easier to enact laws and policies than to just tell people like Bezos to not be greedy
faint panther
anyone who is a billionaire isn't just greedy, they're awful, irredeemable people whose existence i have zero respect for.
bitter magnet
bruh
tranquil bay
this is beginning to sound awfully like some communism propaganda

so if im an honest person making more money than ur average joe im a horrible person?
faint panther

faint panther
if you make billions you are
bitter magnet
so if i start making more money i should just stop?
"guys i already have a mill time to stop making money"
🗿
faint panther
there's a difference between a million and a billion.
faint panther
that's still only a tenth
bitter magnet
whats the limit
faint panther
i don't know!
blissful charm
a million is a lot of money. like i feel like no one really needs that much money just on hand
faint panther
i just know that having a billion dollars is insane. you could never spend that much in 1000 years. when you have a billion dollars you can either be jeff bezos or jeff bezos' ex wife. you can spend your obscene wealth on going to space for legitimately no actual reason or you can donate large parts of it, parts you do not need.
bitter magnet
???
faint panther
do you really think anyone could do enough work in their life to earn a billion dollars
bitter magnet
clearly there is
i know he isnt some saint or somethin
but we dont have any right to force this altruism stuff onto him
faint panther
if you sit on a pile of food, more than you could ever eat, and won't give something to the starving person next to you, "because it's yours, you earned", you're a monster
and that's exactly what that barely human is doing
bitter magnet
if its my food that i earned i can do whatever with it
faint panther
you're effed up man

lowkey communism

yeah if you haven't noticed our society really sucks
frosty gazelle
and "disowning" a company won't fix that
faint panther
people starve while billionaires go to space
plucky grove
Clearly, you haven't been raised alongside multiple siblings
bitter magnet
and "disowning" a company won't fix that
^^^
im not saying that they shouldnt
im saying
faint panther
that was a hyperbole, i know disowning won't fix anything bc he doesn't actually have that stuff in his bank account, it's in shares and stuff. that's why it's "seize the means of production"
bitter magnet
they are not obligated to
share
it is morally the correct thing to do
but you cant force it
this is like saying that if you have 10 people in a room and one of them has 10 bucks so everyone else beats him up and takes his money
the society will always haves and have nots
it is inevitable
faint panther
the society will always haves and have nots
this is super clichéd phrase but honestly: that's what they want you to think.
bitter magnet
so if one person is just sitting and im doing all this work to earn money and i happened to earn a lot of money so im obligated to give that other person my money?
they didnt earn that
i did
plucky grove
Depends on who asks for it i think
faint panther
it's called empathy.
but you obviously don't understand that concept, so i'm not gonna continue this
plucky grove
I mean if it's some unknown person you've never seen i don't think you would, but if it's like a family member you love i guess you probably would give them a little
bitter magnet
moral and realistic opinions will conflict more often than not
frosty gazelle
I'd just leave it @bitter magnet , i think we both see where they're coming from but the rest of their argument needs work

So, I used to write for an online tech news and editorials page (nothing too big), but I stopped and got out of it because I just had to stop using Facebook, Facebook is too much on my life and mind. Facebook is still very big in my country and the page I mentioned heavily leaned on Facebook for their main traffic (they do have their own website but even the traffic there is mainly from Facebook)
This morning, one of my editors recently looked back at the past and mentioned how good my writing was. Maybe it was sarcasm? Maybe he was trying to get me back in the game? Idk. But it got me thinking about writing and how I used to go about it, I do love writing, never had proper education about it but I do love to compose my thoughts about anything I know a lot of, which in this case, is tech and business
The big thing is, I probably have to get back on Facebook to really get involved back into the team
And I don’t think I can do that anymore, Facebook is… let’s just say I’m really trying really hard to get away from it
Long paragraph! I’m sorry, just ignore it if you want, I just need to get this off my chest
mild pelican
maybe there are some alternatives of fb out there

here in our country there is a decent one, but idk how it's for others

Probably this is the way, but I always have to stop getting involved too much into it since it will all harkens back to social media at some point

I have never had a Facebook. It's becoming increasingly weird. 😅
I didn't set out not to have one on purpose at first! My college had a perfectly good campus directory and filesharing network, so I just used that and didn't get around to making a Facebook account for years
and by the time I got around to thinking about doing it, it had already started to get weird and grossly political and data-miney, so I decided to hold off for a while
....aaand it's never gotten any better, so I'm still holding off, years later. 🤣

I wanted to get FB account when I was in middle school. There was an age restriction into making an account... and I wasn't very bright.

It's a real pain in the @$$ sometimes, though, like when you want to access information about a store or an event, but they've stopped bothering to update their own website and just post everything to FB.
I have to poke awkwardly at whatever bits of info are public, if any, or ask a friend to check for me. 
faint canyon
Yeah, that’s the only really big problem when you don’t have FB when everyone else is using it. Idk if other places still use FB a lot but my place still does
Even Twitter isn’t that big here
dry stratus
unfortunately my country is very reliant on FB
quiet lake
Yeah, like...it's honestly a little depressing when a friend has a new baby or something and just posts all their photos to a FB album and sends out the link
Guess I'll uhhhhh not see those 😭
Oh, well. Tradeoffs of the modern internet age I suppose. 🙃
Sometimes I miss social media in the 00s, when everything was publicly accessible to anyone unless the user locked it away privately on purpose. Now every platform is super aggressive about wanting you to sign up before they'll let you browse anything on their site.

Hello, I'm slightly confused about the Boss System in Tartarus. So, I've only been fighting Meg, and consistently now beating her with Aegis. I make it to the Hydra and die, and this run I did, whilst I was using the spear to try and get more Titans Blood, someone called Tisiphone appeared and I lost to her. Hypnos said I'd been accused of murder, which confused me. And when I looked it up it told me that Tisiphone was someone who appeared when you'd beaten Alecto and Meg, but I didn't even know Alecto existed. Is the boss always going to be Tisiphone now or will it change ever time?

iirc, once you beat Tis, you'd fight Alecto. After beating Alecto, they switch over time.

Hi, it's me the person whose art got stolen last week and my art has been stolen again for a product in violation of the merch policy: https://teeszoous.com/hadesthegame?s=hanes-5250&c=Black&p=FRONT
A kindly Reddit user tipped me off, looks like it got ripped straight off my socials when posted again this morning.
<@&456908176877551658> sorry for the ping again, is there a less intrusive way for me to report this if it happens again in the future? 😅
tardy anchor
oh no, im so sorry it happened again...
@opaque quail , is this something you can help with?
spiral island
(also pretty sure this site is a scam like the last one, probably not even "legitimate" rip-off merch)
at least they didn't muck up the aspect ratio of the image this time sksksksks

opaque quail
I can definitely submit a takedown in this instance as well, yeah!
spiral island
Thank you so much, sorry to be a bother 😅 idk what SG's balance is between the labour of putting together takedowns for sites that are likely constantly abandoned and the necessity of protecting IP/enforcing the merch policy, please let me know if it's just annoying for me to bother you 😬
opaque quail
Not annoying at all! But in general we're still navigating our process of mass-takedowns. We've dealt with sites like those in the past, but the volume is much higher since Hades released (as you can probably imagine & see as you're online), so that's been the new obstacle for us. 🤔
