I exercise or play sports at least 3 times a week (baseball, skating, disc golf, gym) and eat fast food less than once a month ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gateway drug to eating ass.

To each their own, for sure, but I love a chatty cashier.

Doesn't seem like the popular the American writter's piece, written sarcastically in their familiar voice, published in the popular American newspaper is going to go completely over everyones head.

It's just not ubiquitous. And to say that paying a woodworker to carve intricate details is a useless waste of their time strikes as insulting to the craftsman in any time period.

I mean, even under the most cynical representation, the patrons of the classical period were a bunch of wankers too. But I wouldn't besmirch the musicians, or the music, or what came of it in modern times.

I hear ya. There's a line somewhere when people become shitty rich. I'm just not sure that line is at ... has a nice dining room table with carved feet or some shit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's the funny thing, I do. But I would never compare them to the numbers printed on the prisoners at Auschwitz, because that would be something only a gigantic asshole would do!

Well tickle me with a feather. Not every nice thing is a cynical display.

I craft many things, however I only display my wealth with ostentatious hats I obtain from a madman.

That artistry still exists but it costs more. The "products we buy" are cheap mass maufactued products that sell to a broad market. It's not just a pennies here and there difference.

Although, that can be a reason cheap products become basically disposable and that's completely lame, agreed.

Also plenty of craftsmen make beautiful shit without being rich. Bragging rights is a weird way to say creative effort in that sense.

I'm sayin man dang'ol bobby may'nt be no pick o the litter man but he's uh got a got good ol heart man I mean dang he got that ol charisma man if he ain't right I mean i dang ol ... don't wanna be right.
