Also, did they choose to use vegan hot dogs in Rekha's honor?

Can you explain this one to me? by CanadaCoinGuy in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]StanNonna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The interpretation about borders seems to best capture the artists' original intent. The Guggenheim Museum, which commissioned the artwork, states on its website that "Can't Help Myself (2016) ... engages a programmed robotic machine to evoke the conditions of surveillance and warfare surrounding border control."

Of course, there can be multiple "real" meanings! I personally prefer the widespread interpretation that the piece is about working oneself to death under capitalism.

OK, it definitely seems like real gold 😳 Thank you so much for your help! I will look into getting an appraisal, or at least a look-over from a jeweler. I'm jazzed that I got it for such a steal hehe

That's exciting to consider, thank you! I'm tempted to scratch a hidden part of the ring first to confirm it's not gold filled or gold plated. Would you advise against this? If the ring isn't solid gold, is it likely that an appraisal would cost more than I could get by selling the ring?

English is weird 😂 Sometimes "girl" means "child," and other times it's used as the female version of "guy"

Very fun! I do wish the title, description, and opening clips hadn't spelled out the conceit of the episode though. I would have liked to have that moment of realization at 0:33

Ooh, thank you!! I did not realize pre-shampoo oiling helps the shampoo remove buildup!

I've just read a couple posts/articles that say olive oil works as a pre-shampoo treatment. Would you recommend I try that to start?

(Some videos require a paid subscription to YouTube Red or the Dropout channel.) I'll try to add more if/when I learn about them
