Vincent Van Who?
  • So question, I understand the whole using art as a money laundering/asset/what have you with the freeports etc. But as an artist, could I just team up with a crew of friendly millionaires and just have them buy my art at exorbitant prices to drive up it's perceived market value, and just slip the initial investors a majority of their payment back?

  • The Miku-21 isn't real and can't hurt you
  • I always dream of the one day where I'm in a situation where I'd have to operate one for some dire reason, and I can just glide through the operations.

    Until physics kick in and suddenly I'm nosediving no matter how many switches I press

  • Mysterious seismic event that shook the earth for 9 days was triggered by a 650-foot tsunami in Greenland, researchers say
  • Not surprised by the tsunami. Was watching the Forcast model of the world wind currents during hurricane Francine a few days ago and saw right after it dissipated, a hurricane like 10x larger formed right in the middle of the Atlantic.

    Was surprised how large it can get when not interrupted by landmass.

  • A classic prank
  • My uncle's senior prank at my high school in the 80's was they disassembled and reassembled the principals car on the roof as he would leave it parked overnight in the teachers lot. Never asked but I assume they also left out the engine block.

  • Would a surgical puncture to the skull relieve a pressure headache?

    So obviously I know that this isn't the solution, but would a hole in the head equalize the pressure and relieve pain? Or are pressure headaches within the bloodstream or something internal?

    Really wish I had a tire valve on the back of my neck to balance out.

    Why cant I just shoot my shot?

    Hey lemmos, and lemmettes. Just got off jury duty for a 3 day civil trial. First time juror, had a BLAST despite my expectations, really enjoyable to see a functioning justice system in person, and I also met cute gal also early 20s who was on the jury.

    Now some context, I have not had a date since my ex cheated back around the begining of COVID so ive basically lost any sembelece of self-confidence when it comes to flirting. I'm confident in myself as a person, I'm pretty rad if I'm not being modest, but when it comes to chatting up the ladies, I mentally only can visualize rejection.

    Now I was planning on asking her out for dinner or drinks this weekend following the case, but on the way out she was caught behind walking and talking with some other peeps. I got caught up in my anxious brain and just ended up bailing. Sent a FB messenger pm on the metra ride home but the profile is inactive so I think I missed my chance at a genuine connection.

    Why is my monke brain like this. Why cant I let myself be happy. **All I want is to give somebody the love I can no longer seem to give myself. **

    UPDATE: Connected over linkedin and gave it a shot. In a relationship :( . Still, glad that I tried, and thank you to all the commenters who helped settle my anxiety.

    Why cant the Middle East just chill out?

    I didn't used to understand foreign involvement in wars, like the whole America-Vietnam shenanigans. But I can see why after watching this Israeli Palestine Conflict since birth.

    But now it's like watching two children fighting over who's sandcastles can be built in the sandbox. And what do we do if children can't learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.

    So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?
