My bathroom keeps getting rearranged for some reason. Is there a toothbrush gremlin or some shit like that hiding in there?

I don't care about having decorations in my bathroom, but my mom seems to disagree. Can't have my toothbrush on the counter. Or any of my other hygiene stuff. Just decorations. If I leave anything on the counter, including my soap dispenser, it gets put into the cupboard under the sink and replaced with more decorations.

Because God forbid I leave my stuff out where others can see it. They might think I'm some sort of dirty freak that actually has to practice hygiene.

When you move out for good, you should glue a toothbrush to the countertop as a farewell.

Please don't actually do this, such pranks are more fun to think about than they ever are in execution

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Baug's tinytext is right. You shouldn't glue the toothbrush to the countertop.

I recommend finishing nails, nailed in nice and hard, then maybe a good daub of caulking to make sure the bugger's not going anywhere. Little quick drying cement, maybe?

If you're going to make a point, at least make one that's not easy to remove and maybe does a little structural damage in the process.

I am wondering guys.

What is the best way to prevent yourself from being demoralized/demotivated?

I notice I get into that state very easily and while I am overly sensitive... this isn't good.
Stop giving value in thought to what demoralizes you (as in, note that it doesn't matter but still learn from it).
Keep moving forward, don't attribute pitfalls where there are none.

Modern Art counts as Art? 0_o
Modern art is someone walking on the beach, picking up a stick and thinking 'I can sell this for a few thousand...'
"Hey posh tosser, I bet all your country club will think you're proper smart if you buy this wonderful piece of art here."


Yes that is what all modern artists sound like. Shut up I already know I'm right no room for disagreement.

Hey, the right stick, in the right place. Can be a thing of beauty.

Or a mugging.

Either way, cash.

I'm pretty sure Hitler hates all art, at least secretly.

Wasn't he an artist before he got kicked out of art school?

If you want to get Freudian Hitler's hatred of postmodernists could be traced back to when he, as a realist painter, got rejected in favour of postmodernist students

Wasn't hitler rejected because he was just kinda' terrible? Insofar as art goes, that is. I don't think I've ever heard someone actually praising what work he did.

I guess it's still being rejected in favor of postmodernists when you just suck and would have been refused anyway, but...

Just got out of the shower. My hair is spiked in different directions in a fashion that is normally reserved for anime protagonists.


...I think I may need a haircut.

It's okay. Buildings mostly, no people. It's the sort of art you would see hanging on the walls of hotel rooms. Boring and inoffensive.

"One modern art critic was asked to review some of his paintings without being told who painted them and judged them "quite good". The different style in which he drew human figures, however, the critic said, represented a profound disinterest in people."
Dohoho, that choice of words. Yeah nah, if you look at his stuff it isn't terrible, it's just definitely not what they were looking for.
Hitler painted stuff like this:
