Controversial Camo II: Mass Grave Pattern

[mumblebeeceramics]

"What claims our attention is the veritable Gulf that separates all bodily Sensations, pleasure or pain, desires and satisfactions-- which are so private that they cannot even be adequately voiced, much less represented in the outside world, and therefore are altogether incapable of being reified-- the mental images which lend themselves so easily and naturally to reification that we neither conceive of making a bed without first having some image, some “idea” of a bed before our inner eye, nor can we imagine a bed without having recourse to some of visual experience of a real thing."Arendt, Hannah, and Margaret Canovan. The Human Condition. University of Chicago Press, 1998.

Controversial Camo III: Bloodstained

Smart speakers like The Amazon Echo Dot have already found their way into many households. For the convenience of not having to get up to switch on the lights or to reach into the pocket to check the weather on the smartphone, millions of smart devices are constantly listening to their owners, waiting to be activated by hearing their wake word. But do inactive smart speakers really keep our data for themselves? Are they still just patiently waiting for their wake word or are our private conversations too tempting for advertisement and surveillance?

Post 1: Introduction + Olli looking at food

So I actually decided to delete Instagram / social media about a year ago, because it messed up my mental health and sleep quite a bit. I had a great run for a couple of months and I enjoyed the peace of mind I had, but then I made the crucial mistake to install reddit and joining r/Austria, where I debate racists late at night and early in the morning. From that I learned that they only care about surface level stuff (who would have thought) when discussing any topic. Anyways, here I am adding another layer to my social media addiction all in the name of getting my MSc degree :D

To make the post more positive, I want to show you some pictures of one of my cats named Olli, in which he wants to have some of my food. Although he is a carnivore, he also enjoys vegan food apparently. Sometimes I ask him if he is a "Waschbär", because he wants to eat pretty much everything he can get his paws on, however he never answers this question and always pleads the 5th.
