They'd rather violate your rights than offend the mob... and if they do get arrested, they usually get released within a few days; back on the streets to commit worse crimes.

Tirloque ? TIR-LO-QUE ? Never heard. Sounds familiar though. ?

 

Ahh, you meant Trilog, of course !

 

Jokes aside, in a not too corrupted society, where law enforcement forces do their job ; it would be both unnecessarily risky and deliberately arbitrary to make justice by oneself.

Now, I understand that the area of Europe you live in often suffers from quite high corruption rates, and so I understand the (courageous) choice Prince seems to have done quite a lot of times.

Interesting thought.

Not sure we can call current times "easy" though, they're easier in some aspects, but compared to the three post-WWII decades even getting a job was considerably easier in those times.
Well, now that you mention it, maybe the post-war times were among the good ones. ^^

Looking back at this article from The Week (that is the name of the site. The time that article is from is June 29, 2015), Why Twitter is Terrible, one can see why nothing of value would have been lost had Twitter simply folded and the world spared any more of its baleful influence even if one has not had the opportunity to verify the facts contained in the article firsthand as well as how little had changed since the article was written. If anything, it had become substantially worse than the author probably could have imagined. 

 

While it might have been nice (even if the thinking behind the sentiment is pure utopianism) if such a service were owned by the public to share freely, it would just end up falling prey to the Tragedy of the Commons and go the way of every public park near low income housing. If anyone is going to get the place squared away, it might as well some affable eccentric billionaire type who enjoys the back and forth that social media can provide when unfettered rather than yet another would-be messiah who wishes to save the world from itself.

Should Art be Moral? This brings back fond memories of reading My Boyfriend is a Bear. A heartwarming story about a woman and her bear but some may not think so.

 

Does enjoying this book make me a degenerate? ?

Do I care? :3

Every group of fanatics seem to agree that it should. Of course, none of the various groups of fanatics can agree upon which moral code Art should adhere to.

Inevitably, it just leads to the abolition of all arts (or the rendering of all artists to be more like Theo Van Gogh) so they might as well just lead with that.

Personally, I believe art should be able to express morality but not be defined nor funneled by nor through such a concept, it's merely a form of expression after all. Art is most subjective and does not always - anyways - express the views of the artist behind the work.

 

In a most fair world, or part of it, art should be free of representing whatever it is that the artist envisions for the piece to. Whatever an individual peering at the item gets out of it, be it an opinion, belief, ideology or else, is entirely irrelevent. I myself am not about to shoulder whatever bullshit arises from dumbasses coming to their own conclusions with their own minds developing on their own and building over their own mindly foundations with more of their own perceptions which they'll then reflect/apply onto/into the world.

 

That's ludicrous and I'm not too great a fan of censoring myself nor my content for the perception of the "general public" which I believe is just another way to refer to the loudest minority nowadays - nor any perception in fact, why should I give a shit about whatever whichever wally thinks of my crap?

 

I'm not there to please, I'm there to be. Something I believe any true artist aligns with somehow.

 

Like it? Great. I usually got a bunch of stuff, retarded to serious, all of which I don't hold back in the creation of, investing oneself in one's art is an express way to quality content and success isn't my aim so I say "Fuck it." to appealing to the bitter - improving the quality of my content and myself as an artist is my priority.

 

Don't like it? Well, fuck you, too! Very amply much! I won't provide the anal cream for your sore arse after you swallowed the pill through both your face holes.

 

What's there to say?

 

Spoiler

Take KMFDM for instance, of what I gathered they were shunned because of the columbine killings and more specifically since one shooter kid (or was it more than one kick-pumper?) admitted to listening to them thus the world which at the time was rather narrow minded as well did their best to undermine KMFDM simply because a kid, if again I remember correctly, had taken their musical Art content as a form of call to arms which admittedly is a recurring theme in their music - but that's all it is. A theme.

Not every word necessarily holds its literal, explicit sense, especially in music where lyrics often make use of word play, metaphors (in this case according to themes of rebellion and resilience) and more which overall tend to be meant not to be taken as the raw meaning.

 

Does an artist want to film or take photographs of dicks painted in stripes with an orange wig on top? Let there be dicks! With the colours! And the fuzz!

 

Does an artist want to show genocide - regardless of the moral aspect, implications or people implied in the content or even just to emphasize something of a view or lack thereof they have? Let the bodies hit the floor!

 

Does an artist want to paint rape to express whatever it is that their perception is, which they deem non-consensual intercourse a suitable metaphor for what they aim to express? Bore these holes through, mate!

 

Art should be the definition of passively explicit freedom, which I here mean to mean that people have to grow up and come to the revelation that whatever it is any given artistic content expresses shouldn't be controlled.

 

Art, in my opinion, should be able to act as the hushered voices from behind the scenes whilst the world itself, its people, are or at least should be smart enough to understand whatever incident(s) occur from any given piece due to the piece swaying the heart, mind, views or otherwise of an individual are not and cannot be attributed to the artist because, after all...

 

Art is ultimately subjective to the individual regardless of who, what, when, where or why.

Located in the center of Germany, Göttingen will become the first city to allow women to swim topless in public pools.

[..]

The sports committee of the city in Lower Saxony has recommended that all swimmers at indoor and outdoor pools should be allowed to swim topless at weekends starting May 1, a spokesman for the local authorities said.

What is in my mind right now? 

 

 

Anyone even tryed to merge the sexlab mods into a one huge fomod installer? 

 

Keep installing all sexlab mods like Framework, D&D, CD, SD+, Defeat, and many others 1 at time, take a lot of time, bugs cause of load order, and some times version problems. If someone just made a single fomod installer with option to enable or not each mod inside, many problems would be solved, and he don't need to keep it updated every time one of the mods get an update, unless it is something game breakable, he can even wait a few months before update everything together.

The irony is that fanatics also want the spotlight to spout their moral code and that hasn't changed in the last 20 years and I don't think has changed in the last hundred either. An idea of what makes good art should help distributers decide what is worth distributing and what is not. Why should it matter? Dumb shit that's why.  I'd say fiction gets a pass but non-fiction needs a thorough fact check. Right now what is moral is survival of the fittest which is why Disney is our new overlord

 

yay~

 

It used to be the church that abolished arts but that is gone now and that is good. Now it comes down to common sense and consumerism.

"Kanst du Sprecht English?" or "Sprechen Sie English?" (Can you speak English)  as well as "Dankeshein" (Thank you) and "Bitte" (Please) helps out.   By that time, they will switch to English, especially if you say "Kanst du Sprechen English", as that is grammatically wrong (I think).

 

Also, download Duolingo, as it is free and can help out.

You just gave me an idea!

 

Could I spur you into writing a few different sentences and their translations?

 

With various words of various sorts to serve as sample for wording structure.
