I too am absolutely pumped to live in a world where human artistry is all but confined to the wealthy, and we all get AI generated pseudo-art instead! Woot woot!
Isn’t that how it was for the majority of history? Minus the AI crap anyway.
Still, the average person has incredible opportunity to see some of the very best art, as long as they live in or near a big city. Admission to most galleries or museums is not expensive at all.
The problem is that the average working class person doesn’t have a lot of time where they also have energy and don’t have to do chores. In that state, most people aren’t receptive for learning and enjoying culture. And it’s very understandable.
I think that has more to do with technology and the attention economy than anything else. Working class people used to read books a lot more than they do now. Then along came TV (aka the idiot box) to soak up those free hours. Now it’s all Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Netflix.
<shudder> Nightmare scenario
This person needs some humbling.
I do believe this is sarcasm.
Friends have told me before that I often miss sarcasm.
Found the STEM major.
M. Sc., occasionally published science researcher and post graduate instructor.
On top of missing sarcasm, kids in FPS games razz me for speaking too formally.
There is something wrong with me, lol.

Don’t worry about that one. It’s one of the few cases where the children are in fact wrong.

Why else would you be post graduate instructor?
Check if it’s autism.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
Happens to the best of us. :)

How so? Because you don’t elaborate on you will fuck their mothers?

Haha, nice one
See, this right here, I’d have taken that as genuine. Why am I like this?
It is genuine! Amg 😅🥲
I believe it was genuine and the person you responded to was messing with you or misunderstood. It does happen to the best of us, and the smiley face seems like a reassuring gesture.
There are a lot of people like you, and it is why the use of /s is necessary, and in my opinion a good thing
Can someone explain the fries part ? I understand this is in reference to an order someone would make at a fast food restaurant, but what is the link ? what does it suggest ?
The comedy is created by subversion of your expectation that college degreed people would not be working at a fast food place. The interaction is meant to be read initially as a neutral status interaction and then slides into a upper to lower status interaction as the post reveals that the answer to the implied question from the customer is that the cashier has an art degree. The initial humor is at the expense of the cashier. The next part of the joke reveals that the customer is, in fact, of true lower status of the two because they don’t understand the horror of a world that will result from devaluing those with art knowledge, exemplified in the joke as those with art degrees. The art degree here is a stand in for our capacity for human empathy and connection. What fools we would be without it. What greater fools could we become if we actively refused to cultivate it. We could become evil, and that fact, that true evil that can exist and we could have blindness to it or even become it, is the comedy here. The banality of the customer here, the interaction, the shittiness of it all, that is the comedy. How this helps, it was not generated in any way by AI and it’s fuckin sad that I have to say that.
Now that’s a sound meme interpretation. Do you have an art degree by any chance?
it suggests that art majors are not employable in their field of study and thus end up working in fast food
That all the arts degree will be good for is working in food service
It suggests that art and literature are worthless, and if you have such a degree you’ll be working fast food, known as among the worst jobs (low paid and nobody has a lot of respect for fast food workers).
There’s a piss stain that looks like the virgin Mary, you can study that for fweeeeeeeee
If post modernism hadn’t eaten its own tail id have more sympathy.
Art is subjective, but for me being in a museum and going from Impressionism and post impressionism, and into a modern and post modern gallery is like a slap in the face.
In my experience, all I feel is it goes from beautiful paintings with high skill level used by artists to visually manipulate form and shape to create coherent but stylized images, to “check out this crushed oil drum, really makes you think huh?”
If u have to explain why your art is meaningful you have failed as an artist.
Really gives the impression of that feeling you get when a school project is due soon but you have no idea what to do and don’t particularly care to do it but know you have to do something if you don’t want to get a 0.
Idiot.
Same
When I’m hungry, fuck them art majors. When I’m bored though, also fuck them art majors.
