And people who believe that EVERYTHING has a religious meaning...even in Toy Story. It's not, it's an animated movie about toys, why would you include profound stuff in it?

Actually, it's more of fine "artists" that basically use fine art as a way of milking lots of money from those who are willing to spend on abstract pieces of art for millions and possibly billions while putting little to no effort and inflating the "meaning" by presenting themselves front and center. So you're right on that one point. But nowadays, it's just a way for "artists" to make the most money out of people who fell for it. The saddest thing is the banana tape piece is originally a satire of modern art in general.
(But in a profit standpoint, who can blame them especially when these artists made loads of money out of people who are willing to spend billions on a piece of canvas with a simple dot or a line.)
It's like the story "Emperor's new clothes" where the emperor fell for the trick of things without meaning that he thinks that there's a meaning (thinking that he wears a new set of clothing).
For example, if a stain on tissue paper that has a famous name slapped on it. It'll sell for ridiculous amounts of money. At the end of the day, it's just a method of money laundering.

So, there was this person who made a paper mache frog for her wall and it looked good. Idk if I can make something that actually looks that good or not. I mean, that would be a good way to have some novelty items on your wall that is a good size. Also, is there a way to make it without flour I wonder? Also, would it just make my dog bark constantly? Lol

I'm so mad right now. I'm about to finally replace my old Chromebook with a newer one and just found out that I could double-duo or split-screens (whatever!)....
You're telling me I have been wasting my life this entire time.
I'm in the middle of typing a novel and I could have just split the screen if I wanted to check notes or do research without opening another new tab this entire time.

I didn't buy the newest Pokemon DLC and I don't play competitively.
So this means I'm behind on what the new Pokemon are. For the first time in a long time, I saw a pokemon that I didn't recognize.

My opinion on the darkest days in American history:
- Any day between April 12th, 1861 and April 9th, 1865. Even the days leading to the Civil War and the first couple years after the Civil War weren’t any better.
- September 11th, 2001
- November 22nd, 1963
- December 7th, 1941
- Any day between October 29th, 1929 and December 7th, 1941, especially the first three years. The rest of the Great Depression also had its own problems, like the Dust Bowl.
I saw someone post a funny story (with the picture of the event!) in my feed about their hamster. It made me think of ones I use to have and their ridiculous reactions to things and how easy they got annoyed or angry over small things like a noise in the background when trying to sleep or something not being they way they want it when trying to move it.
The story was that someone was hamster sitting a Syrian hamster and it got out. The sitter found it climbing up the corner of the wall and the sitter not knowing a ton about hamsters or what to do started freaking out in text message to the owner and sent pictures of what the hamster was doing. It made it pretty far up the wall. You can Google hamster climbing corner of the wall to see how crazy they are. Or even monkey barring.
Hamsters are great. If you have interest, I recommend. Just make sure you keep the cage secure and keep other pets away.

What’s the drama, if you don’t mind me asking? I like history and the tea that is spilled with it.

I found some Snoopy pajamas while my family and I were shopping at Ross and I bought them. Spending $20 on those pajamas was worth my Snoopy fixation.
I’m cool with this site having a rule against just posting pics because it keeps it legible BUT i also have to fight the urge to spam picmix images in this thread… please tell me im not the only one who loves searching character gifs on discord and finding funny picmix fancams!! me and my partner gonna stan..
Also… darn… its another day i didnt sleep but i feel better from just doing the allnighter than forcing myself : / well i just have a braces appointment and get blood test results!
The banner rn is also reminding me how pretty new horizons skyboxes were. Why cant that game even have something like new leaf where you can sell everything for bell value when you start over? I would really consider starting over and doing a full new playthrough with my partner. I HATE how they handled saves in that game so much but, i also miss it… i might just go play it on some better technology ehehehe.

I got about halfway through this. before dozing off. The second guy didn't give much of a counter argument so far, and rambles. I expected more wackyness from Flint Dibble, given the fedora, his sleeves and constant hdmi noises.What’s the drama, if you don’t mind me asking? I like history and the tea that is spilled with it.
I can probably find a more entertaining one.

Apparently there’s this Australian podcaster who claims he’s never read a book in his life. That’s impossible. Don’t you have to read books in school? (As was pointed out by “Do We Know Them? Podcast” who brought this to my attention.)
There was a lot more drama with him (hence why half the podcast was devoted to it), BUT that alone seemed weird to me. And laughing about it? Boy…not reading is NOT the flex you think it is!

Well, this coming Summer should be...interesting.
My dad and I had an interesting discussion recently. I brought up New Mexico, since we have been planning on going for a few years now, but it hasn't worked out. We almost finally went Summer of last year with some family members on his side, but there were quite a few things that held us back, one of the main ones being a fire that was made out to be worse than it actually was. Plus, my dad has a had bad leg for a year and a half to two years now, so I feel like that would have set us back. Luckily, he should be getting it fixed in the next couple months, though.
My dad is actually unsure if my paternal grandparents are even going to want to plan the trip this year either. The reason? Their dog. They use to take him with them on vacations with them -- heck, they even brought him with them to South Padre Island back in 2023, but they are a lot more reluctant to do so now for two reasons:
1. As I have mentioned multiple times here on TBT now, my grandparents have been just dropping him off over here when they go on vacations, so I guess you could say they have been "spoiled" in that regard.
2. His age. He is getting up there in age and my dad told me that it could make his separation anxiety worse on him than it did, even - let's say - two years ago.
As glad as I am about the trip not happening last Summer, I would have loved to have found out about how the dog situation would have played out, given it would have been our first family trip since they started to rely on my dad and my brother to dog-sit.
I am gonna be honest, however. While I would love to still find out about how my grandparents would handle their dog, since we can't be relied on to watch him due to us also going, I mainly rather just wait another year.
The reason is because we will probably going to be going to Houston this Summer, where we will pick up my mother and take her with us to visit my maternal grandparents/her parents -- and I think taking two vacations in a 1-2 month time frame would be too overwhelming. I have mentioned before how I feel about vacations: While I wouldn't say I FULLY hate them (because they can be enjoyable to some extent and can make for good memories), they can be very stressful for me.
While I am apprehensive as always to visit my mom, I definitely want to take these opportunities to talk some things through with her -- she needs to know how to do her part to help fix things between us and how she can do her part to be better. Some of the main issues I plan to tackle with her are - beauty/fashion standards (and how she would sometimes force them on me) and her ignorance and lack of patience + tolerance to be being on the spectrum. These two things are umbrella categories with other issues that fall under them, but the issues between me and her mainly boil down to things that fall under those two main umbrella categories.
I was originally going to wait until my mom moves out to be close to us, but now, I think I would be better off starting early. I can still do it later on when she does move out here to be closer, but it may do me some good to do this early as possible. As much as I would love to just sleep at my maternal grandparent's house over in Houston, my dad is trying to convince (maybe even force) me to just stay in a hotel instead - one of the main reasons was because their AC went out while we were over there back in 2022. At the very least, I hope he gets two rooms (which he USUALLY does), so we do not have to stay as cramped together and I can have time alone with my mom to have some candid words with her.
I do very poorly with sleeping with other people, so I would easily just just say "Look, if it all possible...I rather just stay were I can have my own space.", but if it's one thing, staying in a hotel room with my mom will help me to talk with her about some things. Even if I had planned this earlier, the last two vacations would not have been very good times to really have a good talk with her because:
The one in August 2022 when we went to Houston: She and my dad stayed in my maternal grandparents' game room the majority of the time watching some music documentary, so it wouldn't have been a good time. This may sound selfish, but if I really want to sit down with someone and have a serious discussion, I rather it just be us two. If the conversation is more casual and light-hearted, that's a different story.
The one in July 2023 when we went to Corpus Christi: She was crying and depressed about not being able to move back in with us (which is what I am opposed to, though her living closer to us is what I am 100% on board with). I was feeling like absolute dog**** from what was going on and from stressing about other things, so yeah, it would not have been a good time either.
If I am forced to stay with my mom in a hotel room when we go out to Houston, I hope I can at least make the most out of it and have some heart-to-heart conversations with her. My mom does seem to regret some of the bad things she did. However, I feel like she is mainly talking about in general, I do feel like she is slightly unaware that she had wronged me in some ways. Still even now, she occasionally does something hurtful via the phone. She needs to understand my comfort, boundaries, etc. I tried sending her a long text about something she has been doing (through texts) that has been making me uncomfortable, but she hasn't replied yet. She keeps having to change numbers and it makes keeping contacting with her over the phone even more of a pain in the ASS. I just help she will be understanding during this discussions.
But yeah, as apprehensive as I am (due to my mom), I am actually really looking forward to going to Houston again in possibly June. Not only do I plan to have some heart-to-heart moments with my mom, I just love to visit my maternal grandparents. I have always loved going over there because I just have so much fun and make so many wonderful memories. :,)
There is a Metallica concert happening in Houston on June 14th and I have zero interest in going due to how loud it is (I have sensory issues). My dad said he plans to drop me off with my grandparents, so it will also be a nice opportunity to converse with them since there is a high chance that us three are the only ones not going. :,)
Yeah, I am definitely curious to find out what this possible trip has in store for me. <333

I was talking to Jewels and Spanky kept chattering in response to my voice on her pineapple bed; I love when she does that 
. I was hoping she would respond to me even though I was looking at Jewels lol. When I use a certain tone of voice, spanky makes a cute little chattering sound. It’s so adorable

There's a thread in the Basement about rating a user's avatar, and I really don't get why it's still there. I don't think we should be judging anyone based on what they pick as their PFP. unless it's against the rules here.
I was reminded of this one post someone made on a website where they went something like, "Art used to be something worth cherishing, now anything can be art. This post is art." Later someone printed out a screenshot of the post, put it on a frame, and sold it for almost 91k dollars.

I can understand where you're coming from; it does look low-effort at first. I don't really mind though, because it's hard to define art nowadays.
