Why are people obsessed with using the dog to get money or women or whatever? It’s a talking fucking dog!! That’s a cool ass pet I wanna chill with my cool talking dog.
Is this a reference to something I don’t get? Because I dunno how talking dog is some monkeys paw cursed blessing just because it speaks Cantonese. I don’t speak Cantonese, but, like 80 million other people do. So I could learn.
Talking dog, it’s so obviously talking dog

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•attractive people have it harder than unattractive people.English
81·2 months agoI dunno about harder, but this is absolutely a thing that is very rarely discussed.
I have a friend who is very conventionally attractive and the stories I hear about the way people treat them absolutely blows my mind. The out of pocket things people think they’re entitled to say, from passersby on the street to medical professionals, the way they are literally predated upon, it’s vile.
Sure, they get the benefits of being hot, it’s a social lubricant for sure, but what they go through because of it sounds utterly exhausting.
They’re wildly intelligent and absurdly hardworking to boot. But people don’t take them as seriously as they should because all some people see is the flesh they’re contained in. That particular issue affects both the conventionally attractive and the non-. Our society seems too obsessed with looks on the whole, to our collective detriment.
A great and timely reminder for all that canned pumpkin is literally just as good as fresh.
I’ve personally tested it in 3 dishes, pie, cheesecake and soup, and my friends and family couldn’t tell the difference between canned and fresh.
Go to a farm. Take a hay ride. Wander through the pumpkin patch with your friends and loved ones. Ponder what you’ll carve as you pick the perfect shape to match. Laugh at the oddly shaped gourds. Take some freshly pressed cider home with you and enjoy it cold, mulled with spices, spiked or any combination of those as you carve the pumpkin.
These events mark the time of year and form memories with those you share them with. This is culture.
It isn’t bro’s fault that capitalism ruined the joy of the fall harvest activities. The store feels bereft of life and joy because it is. The pumpkin patch has been commodified because the farmers need to get every dollar they can to compete against the capital of larger farms.
Bro just wanted to partake in his local community and enjoy the changing seasons. Even if it’s not as good, you’ll make memories at the pumpkin patch.
The store is just a store.

It’s fascinating to see an opinion on Futurama as a show based on the idea that it conveys any kind of aspirational future.

memes@lemmy.world•[OC] Personal opinion on Jackson Pollock's drip art
141·4 months agoHe was a commercial artist through and through, that is for certain. His pieces have that je ne sais bullshit feel that comes from people producing art as product, not art.

memes@lemmy.world•[OC] Personal opinion on Jackson Pollock's drip art
294·4 months agoVery polite of you to make that comment. I, however, am willing to be a dick.
Pollock was a drunk and a hack, Kandinsky is the abstract artist we should be celebrating as a household name.
Also I’m p sure I read that Pollock killed a dude while drunk driving and got away with it but I don’t care enough about him one way or another to verify that before posting it on lemmy dot com.
