“menstruation is punishment for original sin” is a fairly common doctrine (altho in my experience it’s usually more implicit than just baldly stated like that)
anyway this implies that of all the animal kingdom, humans are not UNIQUE in sinning, but are joined by bats, the elephant shrew, and the spiny mouse species Acomys cahirinus. (according to my 5 seconds on wikipedia at least)
Small artists you need to understand that when you see an artist who you think has ‘made it’ tells you not to worry about the numbers and to not fret about getting more likes than reblogs they are not telling you it because they think you are stupid for caring or because they dont need to network to survive they are very likely telling you that because they have witnessed first hand the way the numbers game tears people to shreds in terms of mental health and motivation
Beginner artist: It’s easy for you to say not to worry about the numbers because you don’t have to do it anymore.
Advanced artist, shaking them by the shoulders: DON’T DO THIS, it’s a never-ending loop of trying to satisfy the nameless statistical tables that make you think your worth is measured by the number of people you can entertain.
The American Dream Mall is having a great deal of trouble paying back their debts. The equity partners will lose their money. If the situation continues to degrade, everyone else will likely get theirs back once the assets are stripped and auctioned off.
It’s massive. Entering it feels like driving into an airport except the airport has a water slide sticking out of its side and a Ferris wheel protruding from the roof. The vast majority of stores were closed. I visited with the business boyfriend and he exhibited increasing panic as we progressed through the mall. Why aren’t they open? This is peak shopping time. Look, no one is carrying bags. Very little of this is revenue generating. It’s a five billion dollar public park.
The sound of the American Dream Mall is a gaggle of children on a rotating coaster car screaming above your head while the sound system plays Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em. We had to repeatedly dodge people driving around on motorized pandas.
The thing I found interesting was the interior design. We both agreed it was fairly well done. Why is it so shroomy? I liked the mirrored bull and the haunting empty hall culminating in an Angry Bird elevated above the shoppers like a god. I saw the longest couch I’ve seen in my life which was cool.
I found it profoundly disorienting. I’d think it’s disorienting on purpose to make you shop except almost all the stores were closed. Why are they closed? The business boyfriend says it’ll be half dark within a year but I’ve learned never to trust any prediction a businessman makes with great confidence.
The Giant will certainly solve the American Dream Mall’s financial problems
Oh I’ve been to this mall, it’s whack. Some of my favorite fun facts include:
- They had to shut down the mall for a couple days because a hanging helicopter decoration fell into the pool and injured somebody
- It contains the only physical location for Mr. Beast Burger
- It’s extremely easy to get into the back rooms because a good chunk of the third floor just has no stores. Prime spot for taking creepy photos
- There was supposed to be a fourth floor but it’s either not done or has been abandoned, resulting in this amazing staircase/escalator to nowhere
I can’t say I recommend going, it’s a hassle to get to and the parking is, as mentioned, like an airport. But it sure can be fun to fuck around in there
