Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

In a way it's perfect.
Ambulatory boobs playing ambulatory boob characters.
Didn't you know that was what Oppenheimer really meant with his 'detroiter of worlds' quote.
I knew someone was going to post that when I made my post.
My god, skips.
The scales have fallen off my eyes! Hail Reagan, full of jellybeans our tax cuts are with thee.
debate and discourse 2050 overrun by smarter, more pedantic posters
If anything arts spending is helping keep Detroit
"I'm bored. IN SPACE! WOOH!"
it would not be miserable.
I thought they already made one of those with Scarlet Blade.
Then years ago they changed it to "Strong enough for a woman."
Which I can see what they were going for, since "Strong enough for a man" implied women were weaker and didn't really need deodorant that strong.
But in the context of the previous commercials just sounded like Secret watered down their formula because women were weaker and didn't really need deodorant that strong.
This is the kind of stuff my brain brings up in the shower. I need a better file indexer or something.
This is insensitive. Handicapped people can like giant boobs too, you know.
Look out the window and see stars everywhere.
Maybe make some coffee while looking at that really shiny one on the left.
Governments have supported the arts since before governments were a thing.
So...

I interpret it as them saying women are really damn smelly or something.
no you're just weak.
I guess I just don't see these two things as mutually exclusive
If it's a stepping stone to fucking alien girls,
Yes if people weren't people then people wouldn't do people things.
That's an edgy position there.
supporting the arts isn't about making artists not starve
Hell, it's in the constitution.
Neither do I.
But one is made redundant by the other.
Like CCGs? Check my CCG's Thread in CF and help me playtest it!
that would take up a lot of my day
the rest of my day would be spent looking down at earth, and space fucking
Governments today might rely on art less for that purpose beyond the shitty ones like NK doing socialist realism propaganda, but it's still a thing.
For me it's less of a thing because when people think video games and developing them, like I want to do with my art, they can see them as art, but not really the kind of art that would help legitimate a government or support it's policies. But maybe that will change one day, for better or worse.
Municipal and provincial/state government, though.
The best way to do it is through festivals and programs connected to those festivals or events that help artists develop and then attract tourists and patrons who spend money on tickets, snacks, merchandise, etc.
The most obscure, esoteric gobbledygook can still generate a lot of interest and foot traffic
Why is "supporting the arts" in anyway made redundant by a strong social safety net?
I'm not sure this isn't a false dichotomy.
I always took it the opposite way. Like "well men totally smell gross, and this shit is strong enough for them so it should totally work on your lady BO, too"
Special pleading, bro.
Why is it okay for you to say "people should be inspired by manned space travel!" when clearly some people are not inspired by it
but when I say "we should be inspired by fighting poverty" when some people are not inspired by it
I'm the one facing an intractable trait of human nature?
He's not saying they're mutually exclusive. He's saying supporting the arts is a subset of supporting everyone, and we should be supporting everyone.
It seems to rely on the fact that there are a non-zero amount of artists who will be able to support themselves through their art
Feral seems to wish there was a stronger social safety net for artists, and I guess for me when I read that I find the assumption that either all artists need it (which is untrue) or some non-zero amount of artists will be able to make a living off of their art.
Which to me seems to be saying "we should take care of our artists, even if they can't support themselves through their art"
But then that makes art into a commercial product, which I think is maybe not the point of art?
Maybe I don't get the arguments though
I think the government should support the arts for the same reason it should fund city beautification projects such as parks, green spaces, etc
My artist great uncle got money that way when he was still alive. There's a tiny little art center in town, and he'd get his works on display there fairly frequently.
That and he'd make the anti-Nazi propaganda piece for the government, but I think he got out of that game a long time ago.
300 Hoovber dams would ruin the world's landscape what kind of environmentalist are you.
