Did you hit it?

By conceptual art I mean art where the art itself is really unimpressive, but what matters is the idea of the thing.

For example, in 1977, Walter De Maria had a one-kilometer long brass rod buried vertically in Kassel. If you visit today to see this artwork, it looks like almost nothing, a little brass token someone dropped on the ground:

For some reason, I think this is a really cool and impressive work of art, maybe because it took specialized oil industry equipment and months of drilling to create. Seeing it in person, it makes you think of everything hidden in the world that we experience only the tiniest surface impression of.

They could have just stuck a 1-meter rod in the ground and said "oh, use your imagination for the rest," but that would have been crap imho. I respect the hustle, I suppose.

In contrast, I have no time for shit like Duchamp's Fountain - like, "oh it's a urinal -- but in an ART GALLERY?! -- oh my god how will those squares handle it?"

What do other RSP folks think? Conceptual art, based or cringe?

Or what else is going on with you? I have a cold and I'm resisting the temptation to take a bunch of meds because I want to be able to drink later.

feel like that moment has well and truly passed, everyone I know has increased their meat consumption and takes collagen peptides now

If suddenly in the past decade huge swathes of society need meth to function, doesn't that imply it's not "ADHD" doing it?

Post your favorite tracks, shit on each other and prove your tastes supreme.

Fornäs reformulates these types slightly to suit his own purposes. The first he terms "social authenticity, since it uses criteria taken from the level of collective group interaction" and the second he calls "subjective authenticity, since it focuses on the relation between an individual performer and/or listener and her own mind and body, as a state of presence." Both, he points out "stress either source or reception authenticity, with textual authenticity as a silent presumption."

"The third form," he writes, "could be defined as cultural or meta-authenticity, since it moves within (and derives legitimacy from) the level of the symbolic expressions ('texts') themselves." Unlike the first two types, meta-­authenticity deals with the authenticity of texts themselves rather than that of their producers or audiences.

I identify as a...

First, it is simply false to say that treasury payments do not have a "payment categorization code". It is notable, by the way, that he uses this completely invented phrase rather than the actual phrase "Treasury Account Symbol" (TAS). Indeed, it's impossible to find another use of this phrase using an internet search engine in any context, let alone the Treasury context. The far more limited "deficiency" pointed out by the Government Accountability Office report Krause referenced is that information about individual government transactions were recorded in multiple different account entries separately by some government agencies and thus individual transactions could not be readily traced through to all the accounting ledgers they effected.

No chud, the government doesn't need to note where it's spending your money and it was definitely working on a system to fix that by 2028 possibly

On to Musk's next claim: the need for "rationales". The idea of putting a "rationale" for each and every individual payment (or payment file) makes little sense in the context of how the system works. Think of this in your own life: do you fill out a little form that provides your "rationale" for purchasing an item every time you swipe your credit card? If you were required to do so, you would react very negatively for the same reason you should react very negatively here: if you had to put a rationale then someone could reject your spending requests on the basis of providing the "wrong" rationale.

Imagine the right wing uproar when the possibility emerged of restricting purchases of meat through such a "rationale for transaction" system. This should be seen as no different. The "Treasury Account Symbol" (TAS) provides the only rationale that should matter which is that congress appropriated the spending. Of course, if you want to abrogate congressional spending then that is obviously not sufficient and, in fact, counterproductive.

No chud, the government doesn't need to note why it's spending your money

Imagine if the government were buying some groceries and the government's credit card was rejected at the checkout, chud, that would be terrible. What if the government imposed fascist restrictions on you, chud, how would you feel?

This all goes back to Musk's tendency to think that there is, can be or should be a "button" that determines all of this and its corrupt, inefficient bureaucrats preventing this from happening. He simply doesn't understand how complex these systems are or why they are the way they are. Take the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) for instance. It is a Bureau of the Fiscal Service system for collecting delinquent federal or state debts. One former Bureau of the Fiscal Service employee explained to me that there are rules that determine:

Actually, chud, the bureaucratic tumour is a good thing and hasn't metastasized enough

To include my own editorial comment for a moment, this is why it's so alarming to see him talk about updating this list "weekly, or even daily". This strongly suggests to me that he is talking about arbitrarily and rapidly expanding the list of people and entities on lists such as the Office of Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC) list without any due process to block them from government payments. As I discussed the Wednesday before last, the apparatuses for capriciously destroying the financial life of disfavored entities and people has been constructed over multiple decades with active Democratic participation and support. Now they are in the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Thus, again, Musk's comments hide a desire for unchecked power over others under a false narrative about governmental "inefficiency".

My sources are also very skeptical that any career Treasury employee told Elon Musk that half of the expenditures that constituted "entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN" were "unequivocal and obvious fraud". It's hard to say more without knowing the context. This is the difficult thing with government by the pronouncement of Elon Musk. He can say stuff without any corroboration much faster than anyone else can check facts or correct falsehoods.

There's no fraud chud, my sources are 'skeptical'

In the meantime, it is exhausting how much effort is required to deconstruct one Elon Musk tweet. He can lie about very complex and technical systems much faster than he can be answered, but nevertheless it's important to periodically critically assess what the richest man in the world is saying as he continually tries to justify chopping the government up and selling it for parts like this is a private equity takeover.

Actually Musk is just lying, chud

The mods removed the post, but I have the body text saved and the comments are still up.

It all started when we both got fired from our jobs and I opened up a bookstore with my bestie (22F). My boyfriend would drive me to and from work because I was having car troubles. This story starts last week when he kept going to the city which we live two hours away from. This was really weird because he never goes to the city without me because he knows I enjoy going. It also was a red flag to me because he had been talking about this other girl (21F) that he had went to high school with. Later before he picked me up from work (which he was late for) he texted me and said he was with his uncle and his grandpa but he didn't mention that he had went to the city. I know he was there because we have each others location.

The next day I was going through his phone (he is fine with me doing that because he knows I have trust issues) and I found that he had went with his uncle but I also found that they were talking bad about me saying that I was breaking his car by relying on him to take me to work and pick me up even though he is currently unemployed and I'm the only one bringing any income in. I also checked his Facebook and saw that he was looking other girls up and they were all dressed "sexy". I didn't bring any of this up to him because I didn't want to start a fight over something that I thought wasn't too important even though it hurt my feelings.

Two days later I had a gut feeling and I looked through his phone again and I was looking through his google search history and found the worst possible thing imaginable… snuff porn. Tons of it. So then I told my bestie and she said "LEAVE HIM NOW, BRING THE CATS AND MOVE IN WITH ME." I was in the bedroom crying and he heard me so he came in and I started yelling at him. A lot. He told me he has been watching since he was 13 years old. He also told me he didn't watch it to see the women but the murder and that it has always been a dark fantasy of his but that's all.

After we stopped arguing I went through his phone again and found regular porn therefore proving that he was interested in seeing some women. I also looked at his google and found a Reddit post of talking about someone being unattracted to his girlfriend. Which was a couple days after he was watching the regular porn. I went over to my besties house for the night just to give us some space and the next day we talked about it some more. He agreed to go to therapy for it and that's when I mentioned the other porn and the Reddit post to him.

He said the reason why he looked up the Reddit post was because I was SA'd before we even knew each other and he thought he was taking advantage of me. My bestie is worried and I will admit it is very scary to think about and I do feel betrayed. But on the other hand I do want to help him. Please give me advice.
