“Colors become bad when they’re displayed on a screen” is some conspiracy shit, not sorry. The only known effect screens and colors have on health is when blue light is disrupting your circadian rhythm. You have failed to provide any evidence of the harm of bright colors coming from a screen on people’s psychological state beyond “trust me bro it just makes sense.”

Surely chewing blends them more or less as much? Has any study shown that fiber from blended foods acts differently in the gut biome or with blood sugar, etc?

According to modern sensibilities of taste in some countries. That hasn’t always been the case. Would you call a torii dull? Was the stained glass in medieval churches less colorful than today? Have you seen how vibrant basically all of nature is? You’re conflating everything bad about advertisements with color itself.

They are thousands of years old and have faded; look at recreations and tell me you’ve been to any neighborhood with half as much color. My neighborhood (all beiges and whites), most urban neighborhoods, and virtually all suburban neighborhoods are significantly desaturated and colorless compared to ancient Rome.

The Washington Examiner is a right wing magazine that regularly fails fact checks. If you can’t find it at a credible source it’s probably not true.

The other article you linked is to an article in an Indian psychiatry publication that does not have any experimental data or methods in it, and concludes:

Notwithstanding the fallacies which emerge with the advent of the new-age mRNA vaccines, the hope it provides in overcoming a seemingly insurmountable and lethal pandemic largely eclipses most doubts about its credibility. All efforts should be made undertaken to vaccinate maximum number of people at the earliest.

Can you provide evidence of who “buried” test data?

Don’t you think it’s weird that you can’t explain what mRNA is but are so convinced it’s dangerous?

I live in LA and I don’t see 200" screens unless I go downtown. I can’t think of anywhere people step outside their homes and see that, unless they live in Times Square.

People have always made bright colors, both for art and for their clothing and homes. If anything our cities are dull compared to garish taste of the Romans, who slapped color on absolutely everything they could.

What does that mean? What’s dangerous about it?

Can you explain what mRNA is?

Throw fruit in water, blend, agua fresca baby!

This kind of reads like “people in the past lived covered in mud and without color,” which is very far from the truth. There is plenty to be said about misleading advertisements and advertisement saturation into our daily lives, but the bad thing about that isn’t seeing bright colors.

Can you explain what makes mRNA dangerous?

“I do not care what reality is, I simply assume that there is a vast conspiracy of people lying to me about contemporary art” is the kind of anti-intellectual bullshit that drove me off reddit. Thank god there’s not much of it here, present company excluded. You have so much disdain for something your AI “art” literally can’t exist without, and will cease to exist without real artists continuing to make new art for the talentless shit machine to chew up and spit out.

Literally anyone who makes any piece of physical art has done more than AI “artists” figuring out the best way to add and remove noise from a noise generating machine trained on the work of actual artists, lmao.

So you could make millions but it’s just beneath you?

“Expensive abstract paintings are just money laundering” is intellectually lazy and conspiratorial. The entire art world and the IRS aren’t working together to let some people get away with money laundering, but only as long as they use art to do it.

A lot of contemporary art is not for mass consumption the way that high fashion is not for street wear. Everything does not have to have mass appeal, and that doesn’t make it unimportant or simple to do. I guarantee if you go to an art museum’s daily tour they will be able to tell you a lot about how these ‘simple’ paintings were made that shows how they weren’t simple at all, and what movement they are in response to/part of that adds much more significance to them.

If you’re going to nitpick about whether they’re really worth $x million, what makes any painting worth more than the canvas it’s on and the paint that makes it up? History? Mass appeal? Appeal to other artists? Appeal to rich people? Artistic self expression? Effort/length of time to make it? Originality?

So if it’s easy, why haven’t you done it?

Rule #1 of contemporary (not modern) art: any time someone says it’s just splashes of paint on a canvas, it’s almost never just splashes of paint on a canvas. Even something that looks ‘simple’ like Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, And Blue III by Barnett Newman, often has an artistic process that goes into it that is so detailed that attempts at restoration that do not reflect how intricate the process is can ruin them.

Also if it’s so easy to make paintings that toddlers could make and get them into museums and sell for big bucks, you should do it. Seriously, if it’s so easy why aren’t you doing it?

I have asthma and the one time I caught COVID was the worst I’ve ever felt for the longest I’ve ever felt it without ending up in a hospital. I don’t plan on repeating it. I wear an N95 every time I’m indoors with strangers, or outside in a crowd.

I grew up with a dad that regularly worked nights, and I worked nights for a few years when I first moved out. It will definitely mess with family plans, especially if you have young kids. Holidays and get togethers often mean getting less sleep so you can get up and travel or cook on a day shift schedule. Invest in a white noise machine or app if you aren’t a deep sleeper, and get a sleeping mask or blackout curtains.

Depending on what time you get off anything before early afternoon is now in the middle of the night for you. All your errands have to be run within the first hour or two after waking up, unless you want to try doing it at ass o’clock in the morning after working all night.

Despite the problems I honestly did enjoy working night shift, I’m a night owl anyway and night shifts are usually quieter. It also helps if you live in a large city with more 24 hour stores.
