Yes put down the gaming controller and go interact with reality instead.

Yes I believe Jesus referred to it as usury in the Bible.

just wait til you kids discover literature.

Every person dies alone.

Cool fantasy. You know literally nothing about me. Hope your imagination makes you feel better.

Okaydokay Frito Pendejo.

I don’t know who tf you are but I’m guessing you’re a whiteboy midwit to assume you’re in any position in life to tell me how I should behave. Because you’re not in any position to tell me how to behave, stablegenius. Do better.

Bro I typed that the Arts & Crafts movement priced itself out of the mainstream.

So sorry this happened to you, I hope you can someday recover from this trauma.

I had seven dislikes from stablegeniuses mad about objective history, go be smug n stablegenius somewhere else plz. I don’t care about dislikes, I’m pissed about straightup Idiocracy, frito.

Jfc your links agree with everything I’ve typed here. I know justabit about modern art movements. And that foot carving pictured in my opinion is strongly reminiscent of nouveau/deco sculpture and imagery.

hey man you go ahead and do whatever makes you feel smug n superior inside

Nah bro. In the US arts & crafts morphed into mission style, which was just straight flat planks at right angles for practical purposes, which I believe is what you are referencing. As I’d mentioned above, in Britain arts & crafts veered heavily toward the affluent with its high craftsmanship. Arts & Crafts also developed into the ornate art styles of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

Yes, top craftsmen would get deeper into their craft for their own personal interests and their previous commercial success afforded them the luxury to become more like—or essentially—fine artists.

Or they spent more time on a single piece.

Yes, there was broad appeal for fine handcrafted goods after the Industrial Revolution, so much that craftsmen were successful enough to make better livings selling higher-priced goods, just as it is today. It was a bit ironic that the Arts & Crafts movement started out “for the people / against industrialization” but soon became high-priced goods for the affluent.

Nothing you typed is true. Bob Robertson is right about every point. And I will piggyback off of him and continue to prove him right and you wrong if necessary.

Nothing is being produced for the consumer anymore. We are the Mark. I broke a little plastic gear for turning the chute on my snowblower and cannot buy a 30¢ chunk of replacement plastic. They told us the internet being recategorized as a luxury service instead of a utility service would improve service. It’s gone up in price 5-10x in the fifteen years since, Sucka. Everything is trying to transition you to a subscription service so you will own nothing and be happy, Sucka. Stop carrying water as a useful idiot, Sucka.

To be fair the arts & crafts movement priced itself out of the mainstream.

***edit: why tf am I being downvoted for sharing objective fact about the Arts & Crafts movements at the turn of the century? While it transitioned into more of an upscale art in Britain, it did transition into more mainstream mission style in America, yet ultimately World War 1 ended the Arts & Crafts movement in both nations. Eff you turds for downvoting objective fact you anti-intellectual turds. I’m as progressive and anti-corporate as it gets, you undereducated morons.

***edit 2: the parent comment to mine from iamnotafish with 109 upvotes is unequivocally wrong. British/American society did have those problems in the mid-1800s. The Arts & Crafts movement directly intentionally arose as a humanistic pushback against that exact sort of corporate dehumanization.

Apparently BBC no longer means Big Black Chicken

Sounds like you agree with me that a credit card is not remotely necessary for building good credit.

It’s what the guy at the bank told me each time I bought a car or a house.

I have A+ credit and have never possessed a credit card.
