  • Nah it’d be cheaper to commission the artist for a dozen or so pictures for 45 bucks:

    First you need to blow some ungodly amount of money on breaking the time/space barrier… Then travel back to the 1920s and find a starving artist. Then pitch him 45 bucks for some art. Easy! 45 bucks to them is like 800 of our today dollars.

    Sarcasm aside- it seems people really are disconnected on how much a commission or art costs. Sure you can buy prints reasonably priced but any commission that isn’t a speedy doodle is going to clock in a helluva lot higher.












  • Most of them have part time jobs by that point… have quit their clubs to make time for cram school, and need to provide choices for not only their followup education but their desired trade. So they’re isolated during a time of extreme stress… and are exhausted.

    Oh and their population is cratering and the economy is headed for hyperinflation… which means more work for ‘less’ pay in a country that has people literally die of overwork.

    Honestly? It’s astounding how much those kids can absorb and keep on going.


  • I think it’s actually funny / great that everyone is ignoring the misogyny and taking the wife’s side without comment, just assuming the guy is a little bit dim.

    It definitely can be interpreted a number of ways- but it was funny regardless. It could easily be taken as “I’m painting over white with white…” and the wife was purely contextual for the story.

    The discussions are just making it that much more amusing.
