Little rant.

Thu Dec 4, 2008, 2:55 AM
Just a few things I want to rant about.

1. Use of the word "decadent" to describe chocolate desserts, etc. LISTEN, THE DESSERT IS NOT DECADENT.

Definition:

1. Being in a state of decline or decay.
2. Marked by or providing unrestrained gratification; self-indulgent.

Can cake be indulgent? Yes. Is it self-indulgent? No. Does it provide some gratification? Sure. Unrestrained gratification? NO.

People hear it used and assume it means delightfully delicious. I'm sorry, eating a chocolate cake is not decadent. STOP USING THE DAMN WORD. GOOD LORD.

2. Don't post artwork on your DA page if it isn't yours. I don't care if you saw it on google and it gave you the lulz. It's not your artwork. It's not yours to submit. Put a link to it in your journal and be on your damn way.

ARGH.

ok.

That's all.

Warte noch ein Weilchen, warte noch ein Weilchen,

Mit dem Hackebeilchen, mit dem Hackebeilchen,
macht er Leberwurst aus dir
