Did Banksy draw or write this? What’s the connection?
EDIT: Here’s an explanation from the artist who drew the comic:
This quote was taken from Banksy’s 2004 book Cut It Out. Some of the passage was inspired/appropriated from an essay by artist Sean Tejaratchi. I rearranged the last couple of sentences for this comic.
I can see the headlines now. “This just in! Global advertising halted because of some shitty vandalism! World saved from crushing depressive corporatocracy!”
If you’re “tired of fighting” it still costs you little to nothing to support those fighting, or at least not speak condescendingly about the fight they are fighting. Something about your comment tells me you weren’t fighting much in the first place.
B-but according to lots of people we’re denying the content creators their revenue if we don’t stare at their ads like pathetic little sheep. Won’t somebody think of the advertisers???
I think some are more exploitative than most. I work in a field that isn’t directly exploitative but effectively facilitates exploitation by others. Fields like advertising directly exploit others.
Exactly! Whip cracking isn’t what anyone could call a transferrable skill! They went to school for years to learn how to use it, it’s all they know! If we get rid of slavery, their degrees go to waste!
Honestly, this makes me feel good about my habit for peeling off / throwing away those little ad stickers and cards whenever I see them somewhere and people aren’t looking.
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.
Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.
It’s strange. I’ll write a pretty tight email, looks concise on my computer screen. Send it, walk away, read the replies on my phone and it looks like the prologue on a food blog recipe.
TBH if this is real Margot I wouldn’t be surprised one bit. Because we already had Taylor Swift as a 4chan user. Having Margot Robbie as a Lemmy user is not far fetched.
I think they’re objecting to you calling it “dressing” instead of stuffing, even though it’s usually recommended to cook it outside the bird and thus “dressing” is actually the more correct term making you right.
Soda. I’m cool with “soda pop” for a little personality and flair, but if you’re calling soda either just “pop” or god-forbid “coke” then I assume you’re the kind of person who watches NCIS
Other than the safety of undercooking it due to increased cook times: It dries out the turkey which is already a rather dry bird. If you actually want edible breast meat, don’t stuff the bird.
I haven’t consumed every piece of media on the planet so I can’t speak to the reference you’re making, but no, no it is not.
It is recommended to not stuff the bird because a turkey is large enough that stuffing will significantly increase cooking time and without care it is very easy to undercook the now solid interior, which can then soak bacteria-ladden juices into the stuffing which has not reached sufficient temperatures to kill said offending bacteria.
Stuff your small birds like chickens; dress your big birds like turkey.
The best recommendation of all in my book is to just use a thermometer. Never cook meat by time, always do it by temperature, it’s the only way to know what is actually happening in there.
It’s probably still a good idea to not stuff the things, but if you do it by temp you at least wont poison yourself with raw bird juices.
I kinda agree with some of the sentiment here, but if you hate the city, is it necessary to live there? I think it’s usually even more expensive than outside the city so you cannot explain it with money.
Yes, if you like living with people. Why is it OK for cities to be plastered with ads? It’s been shown they are not necessary.
And it’s not like TV or Youtube where ads are subsidising my experience. Outdoor ads are very rarely subsidising the thing you are experiencing. Sure, maybe ads on buses and bus stops help lower bus costs. But most ads are on buildings and billboards where the city doesn’t benefit from them. And you can’t opt out from riding a bus plastered with ads that cover even the windows making you even more depressed. There’s no bus premium subscription.
