real art from artists

First of all, there is some truth in what he is saying. Humans are animals too, and as such we have a biological drive to procreate, as all animals do. There is a term of reproductive success which is a measure of offspring produced. Now, this is a way of understanding population dynamics.

But as humans, ofcourse we don’t feel it applies to us as we see ourselves as more than just animals. And ofcourse there are exceptions, not everyone wants to procreate, but this doesn’t override it for the majority. And there are further dynamics which go further than just offspring produced, so the picture becomes complex when you bring human nature into it.

All that is to say, he is using en existing term (kind of wrongly) to support his opinion. But he fails to see beyond it. And if he sees himself as an animal, ok, let us be humans. You shouldn’t concern yourself with this. This opinion, publicly stated, is unlikely to get him laid, thus defeating his self-attributed “worth”.

hannah montana, times 3?

idk, this year was good… it introduced me to Katarsis, Lucio…

I could say, that attention for what? Just the way you look or act? Is there any value in that? What does that attention give you? Does it somehow indicate or elevate your value? And what does it say about you that you seek it out?

All that to say, what do you mean by the question and what are the underlying assumptions?

I don’t really want to stand out. I want to exceed my own expectations, but attention is not really something I want. My own perception of myself is not perfect, but I do value myself and I know I am capable. And I know others don’t always see it. But the answer to that is to entangle your self-worth from how others perceive you. Exist on your own, independent from the perception of others.

And I don’t want to compare myself to other women and point out how I am different. What’s the good in that? They are a person in themselves and so am I. We both have a complex human nature.

Yeah, sewing (sometimes). I’ve made scrunchies (much better for hair), a sleeping mask, pillowcases, hemmed the occasional pants, and made skirts shorter.

Is there a habit that you have recently picked up and what made you do it?

Hmm… board game… you mean social one or more strategic? I guess strategic games can get boring, if not everyone is not 100% into it. So What do you meme or Cards against humanity are good, but they get boring after the first time.

But what about you? Into board games, which ones?

Well, spicy enough, not Korean level tho. So more than most.

What is your favourite biscuit?

Depends on the mood… but I’m up for salty caramel anytime, anywhere.

What is your favourite flower, or plant if you prefer?

I have never played a musical instrument. Did sing in a choir for a lil bit.

Can you recommend any good podcasts? Always looking to add to my roster.

The usual, Last of Us and White Lotus and Black Mirror. Then I started watching Station Eleven. I really like dystopian series. These aren’t on telly tho, just streaming on the web.

Where do you get your news?

Thanks for the recommendations. I have heard of the Day of the triffids, will check it out at some point. I really like old school sci-fi, and the topics they explore. The Illustrated Man is a really good one.

I saw Mickey 17. It was a fun film, similar in essence to the directors other films.

Not really a Disney kid, I did have Pocahontas picture book even though I hadn’t seen the film. So that.

But how about series, which ones do you recommend? Maybe you know some more obscure ones to fill the time?

I don’t read much, but I’m open to recommendations.

I have to agree with you on the weather, rainy cool days are perfect! Perfect for taking a walk too, the air is fresh, everything smells different, better. And the colours are more vibrant. It is also so quiet, apart form the rain.

Malcom in the middle, it is just so good.

If we are on to the topic of films, which recent films have you seen and what did you like and dislike about them?

Not an easy question at all! My answer would be a book or two. Been eyeing an architecture book, but for this amount could get a heftier one. Maybe about gardening, or construction, or sci-fi, like K.Dick or Bradbury… What kind of weather do like the most (this spring has it all - snow, warm and sunny, rainy, windy, sometimes all in a days work)?

Light pants, like beige, and chunky gold necklace, stay classy

You have to take care of yourself, because noone else will. As in trust yourself, and don’t rely on others to act in your interests. Doesn’t mean act like an asshole, but this is what I have learned so far.

Also came to suggest Warframe, but u beat me to it :D yeah it’s slow to get going… but that’s the cool thing about it. You can drop it when it gets tedious and come back when you feel like it. Imho the long crafting times are good, it means you have to come back in 3 days and have something to look forward to. And instant gratification can get boring, so I really like the pacing.

Nomads and Empires. Quite like Fall of Civilisations, but shorter. On nomadic cultures.

The Ancients. On various topics, but mostly history, archeology, but also classical work of arts like Greek tragedies, etc.

Sidedoor, there is some historical stuff, but mostly on various topics. Smithsonian history museum podcast. Recommed The Lost Woolly Dog episode, such a wholesome episode on now-extinct breed of dog native to the N-American continent.

Lore, of course, it is folk tales and myths inspired by historical events. American folklore.

Dark Histories. This one is like Lore, but Victorian era Britain. It goes through prominent crimes in that era, gives a narrative of the events.

You must remember this. This one is about the history of films, Hollywood and the events behind them. If you’re into films, this is a good one. It goes through films by decades, analyses themes and topics, prominent actors, film makers and directors.

Shedunnit. If you’re into crime and mystery novels. Especially female writers from last century around when the genre was established. Again, a lot of history behind the evolution of the genre.

Creative Codex. This one is a gem. It is about creative geniuses, like fashion designers and musicians and writers and artists. The host examines their creations through various themes, contrasted by the authors biography. Really makes you appreciate the art when you know the context of the artists life behind it. All episodes are good, but Emily Dickinson is a good one and so is Alexander McQueen episodes. This is not history, but as it is art, it might be interesting nontheless.

I have an Altura Thunderstorm backpack. Bought 2 years ago. So far so good, it’s very waterproof, so good for unexpected rain as it keeps laptop dry.

UK company. But idk abt manufacturing.
