I feel like some of you guys think "bad art" is like someone gluing rhinestones to a water melon, or a guy who made his own armchair out of Ohio license plates, or a trashy romance novel where someone says "the blue-eyed one kissed the brown-eyed one," when in reality bad art is a 1000000 Billion Dollar movie where none of the workers got paid and every single creative decision was market tested to see how lucrative of a profit it could foreseeably make to wow shareholders.

being self aware suuuucks like yeah this thought pattern/behavior is stupid and pointless and a symptom. i know this. [does it anyways

preforming my compulsions while rolling my eyes to show i know theyre irrational

[dragon-in-a-fez]

there's a fine line between being wary of manipulation and becoming completely paranoid because you get very close to the realisation that pretty much all human interaction involves doing things we hope will lead to a result we like

[dragon-in-a-fez]

this post is about a lot of things. it's about my ex saying it was manipulative to talk to them in a cute voice because that influenced their emotions. it's also about someone on this webbed site saying being funny is "engagement farming". like yeah every single conversation you have is going to be "manipulative" if your standard for that is "did something with the goal of eliciting a response". if that bothers you go live in a hut in the forest and speak only to the trees. I'll be over here manipulating my friends into being happy by giving them compliments

"modern medicine is a miracle" (5 mins later) "do you really need all those medications? i mean you don't want to be on them long term, right?"

Having an abusive parent is kinda funny in retrospect like mommy why do you have beef with me im 4 i love you

[teaboot]

Haters (my dad) can't stand to see a bad bitch (me, nine years old) winning ("drawing too loud")

[gildedproblems]

How do you draw too loud?

[teaboot]

Well you see the thing is that child abuse is inherently irrational

Having to clean the shower is so fucking annoying. It’s clean in there. That’s where I go to get clean. It’s clean dude trust me. Stop fucking growing bacteria and stuff man this is the clean locale. You’re embarrassing me in front of the sink

Murdered CEO owed “substantial amount of money” to driver who killed him, records show

Recently released court records show that the CEO who was allegedly murdered by his own driver owed the man a “substantial amount of money".

Okay I figured this part would circulate but every single article just briefly mentions it once, when in fact it ought to be right in the fucking headline that this guy was also *diagnosed with cancer.*

HIS BOSS MADE HIM WORK A MISERABLE JOB WITHOUT THE PAYCHECK HE WAS LEGALLY OWED, REPEATEDLY, AND HE HAD CANCER.

Care for cancer patients in prison is substandard but it's still a better chance of survival if he had no health insurance that could cover it. I wonder if that's why his last alleged words to his boss were "I had to."

I literally heard myself wheeze at one point reading these. 😂

I wasn’t feeling well at work once and the boss told me to go get something to eat. I did feel better and a little while later when he saw me and asked if I was feeling better I thought that the food in my gut had helped I meant to say food in my belly but told him “I feel a lot better with something in my butt”. Not sure we ever spoke again.

I don’t think I can stress enough how many people on here need a hobby like 95% of what people refer to as jobless behavior is actually just hobbyless behavior. Take up watercolors or tabletop or join a hiking group or something you probably won’t feel as much of an incessant need to freak out on the internet every day
