  This is how art has worked for millennia.

  I go to a human artist and say “please make me a painting of my family. Make my wife more beautiful, me more tall, and my kids not look like little shits.” And then you give money. That’s a prompt for a commissioned work.

  No one ever praises the Duke of Milan for commissioning a painting of The Last Supper. They praise Leonardo Friggin’ di Vinci for making it.

  Ahh, so not apricot brandy… Oh well.

  Enjoy the sauna!

  If this was Balkan, it would have been espresso.

  Sorry, my brain wrote it phonetically in gringospeak.

  OP, this is absolutely a Google Translate image of a French ABC book into English.

  Arb is tree Cheval is horse Etoille is star Vache is cow Gateau is cake

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't see the problem. It's A tree. It's not THE tree.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s Google Translate, from French I think.

  Tree= Arb Horse = Cheval Cow = vache

  I can’t see the while thing while I comment, but I know a Translate image when I see it.

  This meme started on photocopiers and smelled of cigarettes for it’s first 20 years of life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feelin free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Explain how that works with a village of 350 people 4k from a paved road, where no one can or does work outside of the village doing farming work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feelin free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feelin free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone works, it’s just a matter of on what.

  In the community where I lived, usually the guys did the farming, which was back-breaking work, leaning over hoeing land manually. Men would also raise livestock, be tailors, teachers, traders, barbers, and a few other jobs. Don’t get too wound up over “traders” - a guy would borrow money to walk to a large town and buy things he would sell to neighbors out of his home. He would do this until so many people said they would pay him back for the things from the “store” that he didn’t have any money to buy things in town anymore, so the town would be without things like salt or kerosene for lanterns for a couple weeks, and then people would get fed up, and one new guy would start the cycle over again.

  Women pounded the millet and sorghum into flour to make food, did gardening, made every meal, raised the kids, pulled water from the well, and some other micro-level cottage industry-ish type things.

  But people worked every day. Old people worked every day. Unless you got malaria or had a severe injury, every day was work until you died, and even then you tried to do something because there was always so much work to do.

  That really isn’t the case for large parts of rural Sub-Sahan Africa. For literally millions of people, they are growing crops basically about the same as their ancestors, in the same area. Maybe now they have mobile phones. It was ALWAYS hard labor.

  Is everyone in this thread rich American college kids or something? Why do you all think the natural state of the world is Utopian paradise where leopards and impallas are best friends?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feelin free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, so desperate to be the victim of an imaginary rich person that you don’t even understand that it universally takes work to do things like eat food.

  How do you think people got food 10,000 years ago? Or 30,000?

  Do you think being a hunter-gatherer society is a vacation? Who were the rich people before money was invented that apparently caused things like drought?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feelin free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should tell this to subsistence farmers living in Sub-saharan Africa that farm nearly every calorie they consume. It’s a negotiation between them, the earth, and the uncaring sky. Same as its been for millennia. No rich people necessarily involved.

  Are they free because no rich people are involved?

  I AGREE WITH YOU!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saint Luigi⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I made the same journey during COVID, ultimately arriving at a similar place that the Nicene Creed was the first in a long line of obvious retconned political and human decisions. For what is worth, I also feel like it’s in the same vein as most of what Paul did, codifying and standardizing to the detriment of the source material and to the benefit of anyone willing to take charge.

  I’m still genuinely shocked that anyone can read the Gospels and then not see the record-scratch pivot in tone for everything else afterwards. Well, shocked in as far as to then be disappointed at how easily a mess of addenda created something antithetical to a bunch of nebulous good vibes with no clear avenue to monetize it all.

  Which, oddly enough, Buddhism does as well, but owns it as part of the process.
