I’ve seen this more than I cared for/needed to. Why is this a thing?

Don't worry people, capitalism is working as intended.

It would be more interesting as art if they continued displaying it as broken shards.

My point is that a balloon animal remains a balloon animal, regardless of its noted monetary value or location in a museum. It's a dick move to vandalize things, it's also no great loss to the world that this balloon animal popped.

Both of those things are true.

Curators are not hoping shit gets fucked up, that’s ludicrous.

Capital gains may come into play, but I'm not an accountant.

Being a garden variety gay isn’t enough for people to care about any more so this dude has decided to become gay 2.0. He still gets to indulge in all the privileges that come with outwardly being a rich white male, but also gets the oppression points of being able to correct people when they say that he is a man.

You cannot dictate how those machines will learn, only what kind of data they can learn from. The moment you let internet provide the learning data, you have lost

Now that you mention it you may be right. I buy a painting for $1million, value goes to $20 million. I loan it out and someone lights it on fire. I collect $20 million, but since it is insurance payment for damages it is not taxable. Am I right?

Isn't pretty common to blow up beaver dams? Especially if they cause problems by flooding. Of course only if it's necessary and with proper permits but it's reasonable common and necessary to do

My understanding is that it's one of the most realistic reality shows out there. They're not truly alone but other than providing medical care and evacuation should they tap out the crew pretty much doesn't intervene. (And if they do it's things like one guy who didn't give a hoot about the nudity and they asked him to be a bit more discreet because it was making things so hard on the camera crew to get stuff that could be aired.)

Coulda been worse.

It coulda been a burnin' "ring of fire"

Yeah, sunburn strikes me as a serious issue in many of the places they put the contestants. Forest is one thing but when they're in the open...

Yeah, I was trying to understand how you could get a burn without waking up first, but a flying bit could do it.

I hope they replace it for him. $12 is $12.

Also: Name a $42,000 small, portable, fragile object that you'd put on display where anyone can just touch it or knock it over.

Same for all those paintings worth millions that are just hung on a wall. It's an insurance scam. They're hoping they would be damaged.

And you can still enjoy them perfectly well if they were in a display cabinet or behind a sheet of perspex.

Key West is really unique in its own old people touristy kinda way. It is HOT AS FUCK, but feels like it's own country. The history is fascinating to seek out if you go looking for it. For some reason, beyond the pie, the iguana infestation is what most sticks in my memory from the visit though. They are absolutely everywhere all over the key. Roadkill lizards blanketing the roads. I'm pretty sure our tour guide said it was open season to exterminate them.

Who in the hell was in charge of the debate? Why in the world would they not prepare for this candidate. People are unfucking real & look at the 2 dumb asses watching.

Naked and afraid and roasted now

With respect there have been quite a number of Chinese balloons on the loose lately and people are on edge. Jeff Koons entire portfolio may be at heightened risk from fearful 2nd Amendment enthusiasts.

Now they'll have to save up their Rockstar bucks to buy a new one at the Diamond Casino.
