    you might as well say thought does not exist.

    art is one of those things that can not be defined, unless you wish to be proven wrong.

    art is different to everybody. saying one person's art is not art is like saying their god is not god. it means nothing.

    hmm... i wonder when North American corn production will improve to the point where we can ACTUALLY EAT IT?

    not being an oil industry fanboy or anything, but using potentially viable food to package sugarwater seems a little... myopic.

    oh, God, teacher logic.

    they have to pull the door off rather than install a big, fucking loud smoke detector that will make everyone point and laugh and the smoker lurch out of there with their tail between their legs.

    they could even put, i don't know, a little cage around the smoke detector so the kiddies couldn't disable it? or place it out of safe reach?

    nah, teachers don't think like that.

    big difference is critics typically don't focus on just one artist - they criticise everything in their field, and though they might single out particular artists/directors/styles/whatever, not every single comment they make about everything involves just one person.

    doing that is just... sad.

    i fail to see how a derivative work can be greater than the original, even if the original actually does suck.

    ergo, you suck.

    that's cynical marketing, which is a subset of marketing as a whole.

    even useful and needed items are marketed, otherwise you'd not know of their existence.

    remember that even the shelf arrangements at supermarkets constitute marketing (brands get into shitfights over who had more shelf-space)

    Nuclear power is safe when done properly; full stop.

    this is the main problem really.

    if enough people do it, eventually it wont be done properly.

    and if it was done properly and works flawlessly, it'll be left in service for much longer than it's design envisaged.

    then an earthquake will hit it.

    then a tsunami will hit it.

    then multiple massive aftershocks.

    then you find that even though you still have many good theoretical options, you simply can't get them to your reactor in time because there's been a freaking earthquake and tsunami and all you have at your disposal is seawater and a shitload of iodine tablets.

    now you start to panic.

    The ability to make a consistent light lager (Bud/Miller/Coors, etc.) with geographically different water, hops that vary annually due to weather and other variables, and at different breweries with different people is extremely complex and frankly amazing.

    most ACs here post AC to avoid getting their karma destroyed by stating an unpopular opinion (or trolling someone leaving themselves open to it).

    maybe 1 in 50 AC posts are overtly racist or whatever. certainly seems the good is outweighing the bad here.

    also, modding is anonymous.
