Ask RM a Question

[spike]

I’m no fisherman, but I caught and ate a few rainbow trout at a dude ranch where we used to vacation. And growing up in Wisconsin, I’ve had my share of deer jerky from friends who hunted.

Don't fillet and tell

Have you ever eaten something you personally hunted, caught, or otherwise procured yourself? Fishing counts, obviously, but I’m also curious if we’ve got any wild-game folks in RM

A few deer and several partridge. I didn’t enjoy hunting. I never felt bad - always ate what I culled - but the act of hunting did nothing for me. I prefer grocery shopping.

Plenty of fish but crabs are more fun. I've used drop pots for both blue swimmers and mud crabs but the most fun is going hooking for muddies in the mangroves or rocks at low tide. It's a buzz. And they are so damn tasty!

Mangroves? You're not crabbing where there's crocs are ya?

Gotta ride the lightning to get the good shit my man!

But very very carefully. No desire to end up in a crocs lair waiting to be eaten.

That's metal as fuck.

In all truth I've seen like 3 crocs in the wild total. Try to avoid them at all costs. Malcolm Douglas I ain't.

"If you have sex with a female robot, but the robot is controlled by a man, is that gay?"

[LoathedVermin72]

I don't think having sex with any kind of robot would be gay or straight or anything else because, you know, they're not people

[BurtReynolds]

you're a known robot hatemonger, though.

[LoathedVermin72]

it's true. destroy all clankers

[BurtReynolds]

Death to clankers, but maybe we can also have sex with them.

[LoathedVermin72]

you can do whatever you want to them

If you admire a person’s insights about art, but then encounter their own work and find it catastrophically bad, does that undermine your trust in their analysis?

Or maybe a writer. You value their opinion about what works and what doesn't in the work of other authors. But then you read their own work and it is just next-level horrible. Does that change how you view them? Might even be a subconscious thing.

Or is critiquing and creating different enough that the disconnect doesn’t matter

[VinylGuy]

its a different thing, thats why most critics are boring assholes.

fuuuck you catalina dlugi!!

[bodysnatcher]

Those who can't, critique.

[Jorge]

I don't even mean professional critics, necessarily. Just generally sharing opinions and analysis about art

Which we all enjoy doing here on theskyiscrap dot com

[doug rr]

I remember rolling stone critics hating on every zeppelin album in the 70s

[Jorge]

And where are they now? All of them, dead

[BurtReynolds]

It used to, but it seems so common that critics are bad at art that it doesn't bother me anymore.

I'd say they are different skillsets, but then again I find that usually great artists are also good at critique.
