Some More News did a great video about this

Dude artists are some of the most broke people out there, to the point where the starving artist is a trope, what are you smoking?

I see creativity as an inherently human trait. I’ve known plenty of people who are smart and have very low creativity, and people who aren’t that bright who come up with very creative ideas. And people who are both and neither.

Making images and arts are only part of that creativity, there’s more to it than that.

Yeah, it’s a piss baby attitude. Why do you care if they don’t?

Fair enough, and who knows, maybe I will try it, I like open source and everything. It’s just op’s attitude was unappealing to say the least.

It’s less of a knee jerk reaction of insolence against some perceived authority to rebel against, and more that I found the demeanor and entitlement of the post to be so utterly repugnant that I was put off. “You said you’d use Linux and didn’t how dare you”. It’s like a toddler throwing a tantrum over people whom may not exist.

As for your related question, the subtext is that you are accusing me of being an unthinking person who reacts only out of emotion, and I don’t particularly care for that, nor do I have any reason to tell you my internal mental processes, so I decline answering it.

This made me never want to try Linux.

Something something elderberries something done to death Monty Python.

There someone said it so now no one else has to.

Elaborate

People do make art and be creative still so I don’t know why you’re asking why they don’t.

And people still do it because making art is a thing humans do and like to do. People still sew even though they can just buy clothing.

Acting like there’s a barrier for entry to make art is a flat out delusion. Humans were making art on caves with chalk and dirt they found. You can make art with a stick. Acting like artists are rich elitists is the most ignorant and incorrect thing I’ve ever read on the Internet.

Everyone already can be creative and make images you moron

This made me sad

Bruv it might be time to take a break from the Internet for a bit and focus up on your personal life, this seems like real hardcore bad world syndrome and, while I feel you, I really do, this comment sounds like your mental health is in a bad place and you might want to take a break.

Ah, so passing on the tradition of not supporting your children, got it

Oh, I see, you misunderstood here. I was doing this old school traditional thing called “social graces”, which evidently you’re unaware of. It’s so people can save face, among other things. I was using a tactical social maneuver called “giving you the benefit of the doubt” and “giving you an out”, so that you could make yourself look like less the fool.

Since you’re clearly uneducated on social graces, you failed to “read the room” and what you posted could be interpreted as insulting most of the people commenting, but was vague enough to be about other people.

So I gave you the opportunity to explain yourself in a polite way, and now you’ve thrown it back into my face with an insult.

I had no idea I was talking to the societal equivalent of an angsty slug, but that’s what the benefit of the doubt is for.

You sad, lonely thing you.

A sack of potatoes and cat litter.

From my mom who usually shops year round for Christmas to save the hassle of buying at the end of the year.

My siblings got stuff that they wanted and could use and I got… Those two things in a very flimsy laundry basket.

She did not approve of my girlfriend and probably me living with her.

They weren’t even wrapped.

I’ve seen some pretty compelling arguments from minority groups that step 0 can’t be done without simultaneously addressing the divisions you’re talking about. I don’t see why we can’t do both. I agree that these things are used and usually ultimately come from capitalism, but I think that recognizing and fixing those divisions is an integral part of dismantling capitalism.

It was pretty easy to pick up on.

Could always use clear nail polish

The people who are cool with this going “why shouldn’t my parents enjoy what they made, why would you want anything you didn’t work for?” are sort of missing the point. The real phrasing, that they probably would agree with, is “why should I support my children and future generations, my enjoyment is more important than their survival and secured future”

If you really think that you should only get what you work for, give back every Christmas or birthday present or any gift you’ve gotten or are getting in the future immediately. Turn down any bonus you get at work. Hell start paving your own roads.

Supporting others, especially family, is a good human trait, and shouldn’t be erroded.
