-it can get kind of annoying, actually
probably related to the general lack of quality, ive unfollowed ~half the #artbot accounts already
its just too much, and several of them have context that i dont get, which is too much effort to try and understand for every tweet
several of them were at the general quality level of a college art student
im not even talking about the modern art stuff, some of the sketches and portraits were just bad
we live in a world where internet randos are often better artists than the professionals
some thoughts on this choice, two days in:
-its shocking just how bad a lot of high art is
like, theres a lot of really good art just floating around on the internet, and i have taken the typical quality of this stuff completely for granted

also, any Discourse that happens is going to be stripped of any private or difficult to understand context
this also means that if you want to make money from Discourse, its best to focus on things that barely affect many people instead of whatever you actually, deeply care about
this was a lot closer than i was expecting, tbh

@imhinesmi Carbon-14 is produced continuously in the atmosphere from cosmic rays hitting nitrogen, so the amount of C-14 tells you how long since that carbon was captured from the atmosphere (e.g. by a plant, or an animal eating a plant)
