I'm sure there must be a cockandballs sculpture somewhere which is considered a great work of art.

Fun fact about Black Square: it was originally named “Negroes battling in a cave”, and was, most likely, a reference to another picture by a French artist, named "Negroes fighting in a cellar at night".

I'm not making this up.

Looking in more detail apparently the winning cheetos are specifically shaped (as in not random) and are specially marked.  An example given is one that looks like the statue of liberty. 

Still it's a cheeto though, and the example cheeto still has the proportions you'd expect from a cheeto so it still doesn't seem easy to spot.  How closely do they think we examine our cheetoes when eating them?

Malevich said art depicting nature “resembles something alive as much as skirts resemble a woman.”

Fuck off, dead guy.

How closely do they think we examine our cheetoes when eating them?

Very closely, with your tongue and your teeth, of course.

[Neonivek]

In all fairness when the paintings were made "Negro" was yet to be considered an offensive term.

I've yet to find one that tastes like a work of art, though.

And it was not just "not offensive", it was widely considered to be an actual progressive and scientific term from the race theory, which undeniably proved that there were "lesser races", and that stupid backwards unscientific religion was dumb for trying to treat them as equals to the White Anglo-saxons.

I'm not exactly sure on the last one, but I'm, like, almost certain that there was at least one person who used racism to bash Christianity for trying to treat converted Africans just like any other human beings who were Christian.

In terms of global Christianity you could use examples to make it sound progressive on race or horrible on race.  It all depends on location or denomination or even what the local priest/pastor thinks.

Yeah.  There are modern examples, even.

Woah, what? How the hell do they pull that off?

They run several instances of game at the same time, plus an overarching engine to fit them together.

The multiplayer game strategy is quite borked, though. It mostly revolves around who manages to teleport units so far back in time that the enemy is unable to respond to a horde of units destroying their base. Most of the time, whoever does that wins.

Also, oh god the pathfinding is really atrocious. It's like, Warcraft 2 level of bad.

I'm so glad I saw this post. now I have a new fun game to play.... once download is complete.

Good luck with the pathfinding!

On the one hand, got flirted with by someone who was cute, adorkable, and even more socially awkward than me. On the other hand, she was a pathological liar who kept aping senpai-pls-notice-me mannerisms. Let's hear it for cognitive dissonance.

Careful, she might be a yandere.
