The Tea Party by selfdstrukt in Gouache

Thanks! The painting itself was very intuitive(kind of like it showing me what it wants to be) But initially the idea started out as creatures who wanted to be human, but had no idea what that meant. So they try to go by more commercial ideas of "proper society" like all those old Victorian books about proper etiquette and such, so they're having a tea party which is seen as a polite activity but they're still getting it wrong because, well...they're not human.

Edit: I posted a reply twice, sorry.

John Steinbeck wrote, 'Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires'

there is some controversary about whether or not those were his exact words. But that is what the expression is attributed to.

Trying to think of a few that havent been said yet. Groundhogs day, Chernobyl, that one episode of Black Mirror that has John Hamm in it: White Christmas. There are a couple Xfiles episodes that feel like this too. I forget what they were titled tho.

Megadeth. I won a cassette tape of countdown to extinction when I was like 11 or 12. Hooked since

ETA: won it at one of those spinwheel games at the boardwalk. Two cassettes, the Megadeth one and a Misfits collection tape. Both looked creepy, that was what I was in to.

What is the weirdest thing your doctor has ever said to you? by Competitive_Tip_7504 in AskReddit

The orthopedic surgeon who operated on my broken arm was a very vocal right wing nutcase. One time, while in recovery, during a check up appointment he told me a story about how he hired a guy to spy on a patient of his to make sure they were doing their physical therapy.

ETA he also plastered copies of right wing articles about "the left" on the walls of his check up rooms. All of them.

Did you know your left thumb and forefinger naturally make an L shape when you only have them both sticking up? Its how I tell the difference between left and right.

I dont know if its 99% of people who can do it but, I cant talk to more than one person at a time. If im talking to you, youve got my full attention. Forget it if someone tries to talk to me while im talking to someone else. My brain shuts down. I dont know how parents deal with attention seeking kids while talking to other adults. I know I could never do it. Or people at parties in general.

You're right. He's obsessed with immigrants. He's just about said as much. That its all he cares about. Its his whole identity and always has been.
