Yes, this is Luo Yi Rong, who absolutely is the same sculptor from that astonishingly inept self-own by an idiot.
some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it
Shakespeare is like this
Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away
Have you seen this shit my liege? smh unreal

u cld write a whole thesis abt this xkcd & how the only workers personified here r the upper class college degreed tech & management workers & not the third world workers facing unsafe grueling conditions working in mining or even manufacturing..... the wood source described as a "legal fight"
he's also greatly overestimating how much design work actually goes into most products like that
not leaving that in the tags
It’s funny how the response is doing the same thing they’re mad about XKCD doing.
“it’s chosen from a list of available tubes” and where do you think those tubes came from? The tube tree? Do you think the press to cut the metal is a natural occurring formation? That the company that made the wood that was bought bu this other company that was bought by the other company just appeared out of thin air without having to be grown, and all the processes that entails (like legal issues mentioned in the comic.) that glasses are shaped that way by coincidence and not literally centuries of trial and error testing to figure out the best vessel shape?
Because yes, maybe your glass from walmart didn’t redo all the testing and planning from scratch, but someone did it at some point. It didn’t appear in the air from nowhere.
And a lot of that effort comes from the blue collar workers who did it so well you don’t think they did it at all.
So weird that a STEM comic is talking about STEM workers!
Like, the thing is, those dumb design decisions actually do involve a lot of work that nobody ever thinks about and is completely invisible. We know about mining and logging and manufacturing, we don't know about the hours twenty people spent in multiple meetings making a tiny decision. I've been in those meetings! I've been in the meetings where people spend an hour discussing one sentence in a two hundred page document. The meetings are so tedious and the people involved care about the details so much. Just because you haven't seen the meeting doesn't mean it didn't happen.
And it's really important to think about that. When us consumers have a product with something that seems like a really dumb choice, we can assume everyone involved was an idiot and we'd do it better, or we can think about how maybe the manufacturer they sourced from didn't have the correct size available and it'd be three times as expensive to go elsewhere, or if they made the choice we wanted it would have caused other issues. We spend our lives thinking that we could do things better than an expert, because we don't take expertise seriously. But sourcing lumber is really fucking hard! Making sure products follow safety requirements is hard!
Also "upper class" is absolutely not where you'd find the people designing your cheap ass desk lamp. Just because you think their job is overvalued doesn't mean they're wildly rich.
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke !!SPOILERS!!, but, more importantly: !!MEMES!!

the age old question
Imagine if a like 8 foot tall guy that looked kinda like an alien species just kinda showed up at the house you rent a room in and crashed on the couch and at first everyone hated him but you kinda just accepted this weird massive kinda-human alien species thing as a part of your group even though he's like twice the size of everyone else there
Cuz that's literally happening to sea lions in San Francisco right now
So there's two species of sea lion in North America: the California sea lion, ranging along California (including Baja) but not ranging into the north coast or into oregon
And the Stellar's sea lion, which are WAY bigger and live in Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska
A male Stellars sea lion showed up in SF like a month ago and just kinda. Didn't know what to do, and joined a colony of California sea lions, and is just kinda chilling there now.
Weird vagrant species happen from time to time, but this is just a particularly funny instance of a highly social species getting very lost, and just trying to blend in with its closest nearby relatives
When the CEO of the company that didn't turn away Nazi business says "this isn't going to work" you know it's bad.

Planning documents for "Scout" say the plan is to "make people addicted" to the tool before adding new features.

Imagine being Rocky in your spaceship when the first errors begin and you realize that the predator is eating your fuel and you have absolutely no way to stop it. Imagine thinking that even after all this, the death of your crew, the unlikely partnership, the wild success, the almost self sacrifice, you're never actually going to make it home. Everyone you love is going to die a slow and painful death.
Or almost everyone. The only bright spark is the friend you made along the way, the one you gave just enough fuel to make it home. You have to hope that he's not in the same predicament, but you know that his ship is made of strange material that could resist the amoeba better. You couldn't save your own world, but you could save his, and maybe that was all you could ever do.
You settle in, you make peace, as Grace would say, and just as you lay down you hear an impossible sound. A sound you think at first you might be imagining. A sound that is achingly familiar. A sound only possible because you insisted that you both make it out alive.
There is a knock at the door.
peeling those sour rainbow gummy strips into long thin strings and putting them into cheap energy drink to create something im calling battery acid spaghetti will update once ive finished it
dont do this
I really hope its not too bad bc i actually love both components.
it forms a dry skin at the top made of the sour pellets. not a great start.
tastes really good actually. i also feel like i am about to explode.
do not do this.
Unanimous consensus: Do not do this
Other people: Hold on I’m about to do this
Rip to y'all, but I'm built different. Trying this tonight
Best I can do with what I have (I'm at work rn)
Oh that is a... fascinating smell
Don't do this
Alright now I’m curious
Didn't have strips so I made what I call battery acid cereal
Don't do this
