Once again, Bored Panda reached out to Hassan Hassnaoui to learn more about "Stupid Art". We were curious about how the artist came up with the idea to add modern text messages to paintings. "It [the idea] originated from my love for art," Hassnaoui shared. "When I look at paintings, I see their gestures and it feels like they're engaging in a conversation. That's what inspired me to put captions on various well-known paintings, expressing what I perceive in them—their emotions, stories, and the dialogue they might be having if they were part of our modern world with texting and messaging."
I use a different version of my personality for everyone I know so they'll like me this is compltely normal and healthy I'm sure
Hassnaoui finds inspiration in everyday events that he believes his fans will connect with. "The toughest part is choosing the right painting that captures the message I have in mind. Even the smallest details, like gestures or facial expressions, can help people understand what I meant."
Yes! Let’s reverse the whole thing—-2 consecutive days working no more than 8 hours per day, and 5 whole consecutive days off. We are not going to put up with that b******t of split days off. No F*****g Way! It would also create more jobs, BUT we should ALL still be paid a full week’s salary. So much more would be accomplished and finished if we could have long stretches of downtime to recover every single week.
I appreciate how basically any legitimate study of productivity shows people are only useful for like 2-4 hours a day. After that it goes WAY down.

Hassnaoui's captions often touch on everyday life and small problems. He shared that he views his art as a vehicle for social commentary. "I aim to consistently communicate reportable messages and observations about the everyday challenges we face. This approach allows my audience to feel a deeper connection both to me and to the essence of my work."
I still have to pay to sleep. I blame the people who can fall asleep at the drop of a hat.
Since buying a memory foam mattress and topper the only thing that wakes me is my bladder. My bed is heaven!
Saying goodbye to yourself? DON'T DO IT!!! YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!!!!

My sign is..Mind your own damn business bro also why did that remind me of that song "No"?
As soon as I get home from work, the hoodie goes on

This should be taught to every person before high-school graduation to women especially.
So glad I'm married. Do not want to play these games. I would probably be a serial man beater.
Class. Decorum. Appropriate behavior, volume, and language. Time and place. Yes. Do it right, and your manner of speaking actually CAN add to your attractiveness. Do it wrong, and it WILL take away ALL your attractiveness. In. An. Instant.
Good luck not easy by any means. It's true but a lot of work to learn. Step one: stop speaking of things that would embarras your mother.
That way takes a hell of a lot of will to do. Can't control it but now they have drugs that helps. Now I'm sad for Ophelia. I hope she found peace.
Different POV. Photographer not in painting. Ophelia: Ugh. Take the shot already!!!
this could be a picture from a movie, and a line of that same movie :)
Because some people’s definition of “being real” coincides with being rude and nasty, instead of thoughtful and genuine.
I hate the fact that Billy Joel, the greatest songwriter of a generation, is slipping into history. "HaaaahnestY is such a lonely word, everyone seems so untrue..." (And its Billy JoeL. Not the guy from Green Day.)
Is that a literal mask, as in COVID, or a metaphorical mask, as in hiding one's feelings?
I can be brutally honest with myself, and I will own my mistakes. My flaws and faults too. I will try to work on them and be better, but as a human being, I cannot achieve perfection. Nor would I even want to, as perfection is boring. However, that won’t stop me from continuing to work on being a better human being.
Looking can be scary for most people. Not to mention if they notice they don't usually don't want to fix the problem. Sadly people believe that you should learn to accept all their flaws. Luck to you who do look.
And that is a true purpose of religion. If your god agrees with what you're comfortable with, that ain't the true God.
Agree/ disagree and be drawn into a conversation that could potentially become…dramatic.
Because we all choose our reactions. Therefore we choose the consequences of our reactions. Whether we’re conscious of that choosing or not, we still choose whether to go without first irrational knee-jerk reaction, or choose to first take a breath and think before reacting more rationally. The appropriate consequences for our choices will inevitably follow.
But also remember that quality people's priorities change sometimes too
And the friends we have simply grown away from, especially the ones who try to drag you down out of jealousy over your success. Misery loves company and, if it can’t find any, it tries to create some.

Too humid here. At least if you don't want to have a heat stroke. LOL.

I've got a closet full of bunnyhugs that get worn regularly year round. There is no specific season for them 😁
It is much more fun than reality. Have you seen reality lately it is a total c**p storm.
A lot of these are old ads from say the 1920s or the like, in case you were wondering...if you weren't good on ye mate
I accept myself better now that I am "less" beautiful than when I was young and I was "more" beautiful... : D (makeuping was easier on a smooth skin :D)
I'm confused about the mirror/table setup she has going on. It looks like it's mostly makeup-related, apart from the Pepsi, grapes and plums (are they plums?) but then there is a small pin cushion, which is usually sewing-related. What do sewing pins have to do with makeup? Also, are those candle holders on either side of the mirror?
The pin cushion holds the pins that go in the hair (think bun decoration) or hat. And, yes, that might be candleholders on the side.

Alone is a choice, and one you can embrace, enjoy, and be really happy with. Lonely is not a choice, and feels more like a sentence you’re serving in isolation. When you’re lonely, if you had a choice, you would overwhelmingly choose to be around other people, or at least one other person, rather than by yourself.
Absolute truth. You can be lonely in a crowd.
Load More Replies...I like the line from “A Streetcar Named Desire”; “Physical beauty is passing. A transitory possession. But the beauty of the mind and the richness of the spirit and tenderness of the heart- and I have all of those things- aren’t taken away but grow!” Truer words were never spoken. Long after any of us are considered “beautiful” by the pop culture definition, which has a very short shelf life (and I am including men in this too), or start only being considered attractive “for our age” on the outside (also including men here), we can still be incredibly, stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful INSIDE. Your intrinsic beauty will see you through your entire life, while physical beauty will abandon you long before you’re ready. Therefore, your inner beauty is what you should be focused on, not your outer appearance. If more people followed that principle, we wouldn’t have so many desperate looking older people trying to chase youth with fake “wrinkle erasing” creams, fillers, hair replacements, and surgeries, long LONG after it abandoned them. We would, however, have people taking better care of themselves their entire lives, then embracing their ages and growing old gracefully. They would genuinely be so much MORE beautiful for it, too—-to the point where the tables would turn, the young and beautiful would envy the old and beautiful, and do their best to emulate them as they too grow old.
If not monetized. Please read my sarcasm, not trying to get ripped apart here
She don't like him and i don't blame her he looks like he says that to all the girls
The great benefit to now, is that all the previous stuff is available. Just because modern dresses look a certain way, the old patterns are still makeable.
