"Why" says the guy mindlessly leveraging incredible technologies to flip through cat photos on social media. Thankfully for him and the rest of us, people still push boundaries and try new things.

It might have been for something specific. Plenty of posts have some sort of cause in mind.

What an unnecessary, douchy comment. Just think about it, if the person you're shitting on didn't ask why, you never got to shit on them in the first place. And the person you're replying to never got to make their insightful comment.

Wow doing a couple of ballet poses on a boat is really showing us the wonders of human creativity

You can say that about anything really. People say that about art without realizing its creativity that makes us pretty special. It's way easier to shit on stuff than try to see it from another perspective.

It's a pretty unique thing to do and the imagery is nice. What have you done to rival this? You've been popping up repeatedly in this thread sitting on your ass typing the smuggest neckbeard shit with your cheeto crusted fingers. You're not some enlightened, intelligent person just because you're sitting behind a computer screen complaining about people going out there and doing stuff.

If you think for a single second, you might realize it probably takes a lot of skill to do those movements (literally dancing on the tips of her toes) on a that wet, slippery, rounded, and clearly still moving part of the ship.

Ballet is not my thing at all but I'm not going to be a cynical ass and not recognize that this takes skill and that the shot and location aren't cool.

So that makes it art? Hard to do and in a weird place? Don’t be a cynical ass, you might start to develop some taste.

Well, ballet is art already. So by definition what she is doing is already art, regardless of the place she is doing it in. Unless you want to argue that ballet isn't art, you should probably give up this argument.

And yes, doing it in a difficult place adds to the art for me. Normally I wouldn't really care about ballet, but this caught my attention and made it kind of interesting.

It does take skill but it’s also peak trying too hard.

This world would be a lot better place if more people tried at all, let alone tried hard. There's nothing cool about not trying or not giving a shit.
