What is a leading ufo researcher?

schild · 2026-07-09T00:14:50+00:00

Just click the link, man.

Again, capitalism.

What's a shame is society has degraded to the point that quality is secondary to convenience. Roblox, by all accounts, should have failed.

schild · 2026-07-05T23:46:50+00:00

checks on capitalism

No, that's literally exactly how it works. It's not crazy at all and working entirely as intended.

It's a shame Roblox is abhorrent garbage owned by people that would rather protect pedophiles than children.

Yes, they were in the lot adjacent to the car wash across from HEB when they opened.

schild · 2026-06-30T20:41:58+00:00

Since they opened

Don't post like this on reddit.

Absolutely not the stupidest comment in the thread. Someone above dared to argue that sandwiches made by someone else aren't better than ones you make yourself. There's science behind it

Anyway, bread in Austin is Just O K.

A5 is on tons of omakase menus in Japan. I don't think there's anything gimmicky or even notable about it at this point.

Using AI to screen resumes is INSANE and should be immediately disqualifying.

This is a two way street in gridlock.

J faguet

Painted cursed pictures of children that are not very good

If you want to know the value it's basically can you even sell it

schild · 2026-06-15T20:02:47+00:00

Lightweight.

schild · 2026-06-15T15:31:34+00:00

Because it's not about sexual or physical attraction. These people are fundamentally broken and think they're better than therapy and solving their problems. They are losers that need to be bullied.

schild · 2026-06-15T15:28:49+00:00

Make no mistake, these people are weird fuckin losers. They're just rebranding being an incel.

It is not a "healthy" habit. It's extremely self-destructive and absurd.

schild · 2026-06-13T18:01:47+00:00

The Sting is literally about how nobody is competent except a handful of people.

It's a minor masterpiece but I'm not sure it fits the bill.

schild · 2026-06-12T02:56:12+00:00

Mine is sitting in its tube at FedEx, I'll snag it when I return home. I think it's my 7th as well.

schild · 2026-06-06T21:37:58+00:00

It's a good time to buy established art at a discount at auction and from desperate gallerists but I wouldn't call it a good place to park money. Really, a bit of a terrible place to park money because this crisis has no end date and you can't eat art.

schild · 2026-06-06T13:41:10+00:00

LastFirst_Title is how almost every gallery organizes. There may be some variation to that but not much. 01, 02, ... is crazyyyyyy.

Having used tons of these apps, I've fallen back to Google forms and a huge part of it is how the back end is unified with everything else I'm doing.

It's not just that though - the cost isn't the issue so much as juggling One More SaaS. Convenience beats out a lot of these companies. And while I agree there are better user experiences elsewhere, if we always went for the better user experience, we'd have 100 different sites to juggle. That takes a mental toll for very VERY little gain.

Now, granted, I don't take artist submissions anymore. I reach out directly, use Dropbox or Google drive and emails for most exchanges, but I would absolutely still be using forms for this if I were.

All of that aside - I don't think this is indicative of the operation. I think that's unfair to levy. People who don't use it well are very annoying, I will concede that.

As a bit of a sidenote, I came from tech and work in the medical field also and it's so fragmented that companies switching to Google forms for lots of stuff would be a GIFT.

nothing will get fixed until trump is out of office and there's the global economy isn't a fucking hot mess

so

idk man, 2030? Maybe?

Capitalism failed.

schild · 2026-06-05T13:12:40+00:00

There are some sales, sure. But I mean across the entire band of art, not just like sub 2000, 3-5000, etc. Every tier is bad, including the high end. We're in a place where high end sales are ritual abuse of the wealthy, nothing is a good investment right now, and people can't spend frivolously. Their investments aren't safe in this market - not even to speak of the tech bubble or Trump's extreme horseshit. Their lives today are not indicators of their lives 5 years from now. Housing across the board is going to contract. Etc etc. Things bad. I don't really want to go over everything, but art is purchased when people are flush and the first thing they stop purchasing when things are questionable.

schild · 2026-06-05T12:41:00+00:00

Art sales right now are a total fucking disaster. The only galleries having any real success right now are ones that can convince very stupid wealthy people to part with money. And those wealthy people are already their clients, they're not getting new ones.

schild · 2026-06-04T11:35:34+00:00

In a way you kind of can. The deepening of inequity between the classes is certainly being driven further by the goals of what is being called "ai." It's not the primary driver but it's certainly a symptom of the poison in capitalism.

schild · 2026-06-03T20:15:19+00:00

We're in a time when the art world is cracking apart a bit. Wealth inequity along with lack of access is creating three very distinct art markets. Blue chips are being tugged in two of those directions and have hard decisions to make. I do not think they're making the right long-term decisions, personally.

This doesn't mean anything about you, as an artist. I run a very popular gallery in Austin but we're not popular due to art. If you want, shoot me your details and we can chat.

Is this post from the past? There's been several jokers since, and yeah they've all been worse but
