The bonsai trees are my absolute favorite!! I did really adore the older lady who had the bonsai 🌳🌲trees! I would love to meet her one day & just to walk threw & see her trees would be a dream come true.
I love the printer ink one where it's just like "yeah this is overpriced and you're basically getting screwed over each time you buy it" especially in a season with bonsai trees, and specialty foods that actually require time, effort, and expertise to produce.
This series really drives home the fact that if something in the world exists, then there is a Japanese person that is dedicated to making it as an art form.
I get bags for free whenever I go to the grocery store 🤷🏻♂️.

Well, the other reason is the law. This bag has no logos or marks, simply making bag like that is counterfeit. As they mentioned, it's quite popular design in cheap bags, as it is designed to be convenient, people quite often get them for just regular bag price for daily use. Original bag is so expensive only because it is limited and made with special materials. The same way mobile phones prom Porsche Design are much more expensive than exactly the same regular phone. Just because it is limited edition with slightly improved quality (leather case etc). In overall, those original bags are so expensive not because of bag, but materials they use to make them and limit of production. It would be better to actually put things like albino crocodile skin on this list instead of bag made out of it. The same way Mercedes S class is not some rare, most expensive car on the earth. Mercedes covered with diamonds is. It still does not mean that it's Mercedes that is rare and expensive, those are diamonds. (Well, technically diamonds are worthless)
Here is the Original Semitic Text, EXACTLY what Moshe (Moses) wrote YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote in Exodus 3, when Moses asked YaH His Name HERE IT IS, IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
The handiwork may be the same, but it’s unlikely that the bootleggers would be using really superior materials. And of course, the attempt to pass those bags off as Hermes products is the real crime.
BIG Dubyuh: I would say no, they often know were to get the same quality materials & hardware & tools. I love you comment. If they get smart they can build their names in this day in age by making videos & by working in these supposedly high end exclusive companies with such amazing names. Internships are no longer what they use to be.
That's because some people buy them and keep them in a case or closet for years to build its value and keep it in perfect condition, as it can be resold for way more than they bought it for. It's wild.

K Face no. There are billions and trillions of diamonds in vast storage container farms already mined. There are maybe 200,000 Birkins around the world. If you have ever had your hands on one you’d see why they cost so much. Now what you saw was the extreme HIGH end for these bags. Note that most, the majority of the bags do not cost that much. Between $5,000 and $12,000 is normal.

You're completely right. Really it's not the qaulity of the tools that matter the most, it's how the artist utilizes it. You can still make masterpiece with crayola crayons, you may have to work harder but itll work. I'm not a painter myself but I attend an art college and I've had to paint for a class I've had and let me say I'm not a big fan on spending 40 dollars for 5 small tubes of paint
You most definitely can, it just won't last forever. Da Vinci for example used some highly experimental methods that produced wonderful paintings, but are absolute hell to preserve.
Well when you have a high population and such a low consumer market by comparison you have to create jobs out of nothing, hence the justification for low automation. That means then the individual expectations of people are very high, because in order to be successful you need to be "the best egg boiler in the state". Leaving so very many people in Japan despondent when they can't meet these expectations and that's why the suicide forest sees a new death every 2 days.
Yes but also they seek too much perfection and this reflects on how they are supposed to be themselves....a lot of Japanese young people are depressed and lonely...to me there is some kind of link...
Bonsai seems to be the only interesting thing. It's justifiably expensive, culture, art and unlike some of the other things, not really harming anyone, human or animal.
@@gawoopydawoopy758 trees litteraly are accustomed to these things, too little food? They grow in smaller sizes, something blocks their path?

A family friend owns a company that produces Manuka honey so we get a lot of it for free, and I can confirm that it tastes different but honestly I kinda prefer the taste of normal honey. I will say though, if you have a sore throat or something I definitely think that they help more then normal honey but that may just be placebo
It sounds like it has been confirmed to have anti bacterial properties, Lemon and honey drinks are great for a throat infection... But so is cough medicine
Me too. I lived in Tasmania for a while. Where they produce lovely natural hòney. But I preferred the processed supermarket honey..lol We also use Manuka honey cream/ointment for some wound care where I work.
But it *was* dead though. They went right through the spine in one fell swoop. If you broke your neck it’s instant death. What you saw afterward was just the nerves spasming. It’s a normal response to sudden death. The fish felt nothing. Source: Im a veterinarian.
I live in New Zealand. When you mentioned manuka honey I was honestly kinda surprised. There are a few bee "museums" as such nearby to me that we visit whenever we go to a batch or campground. We usually pick up a few jars for about $50 max. They have a couple of free tastings usually as well and the taste is indescribable. It's like the difference between drinking some store-bought coke and 16-year-old scotch. It's so much more filled with flavour.
What they should be required to state, right after "They are hand made" ... is how much they payed the person that did hand-made that bag ... doubt it's more than $100 ...
Not only that these bags are expensive, you can't just go and buy one even you have the money. You have to beg the store to sell you one. Marketing to rich suckers is a genius strategy.
@@nsbioy same thing ferrari and rolex does, except theyll gladly offer you their worst models. Once you buy 5 or so you get the privilege of being put on a waiting list
Manuka and Kanuka honeys of NZ native trees are fabulous and have a very distinctive flavour unlike north american honeys. Manuka is unique in flavour- caramel-ish and not sickly sweet. I have used it for 30+ years and it is my all-time favourite. We buy it on the island of Great Barrier by the kg pail. Yummmmmm!
The only thing in this season that is actually worth the money is the bonsai. At least those are understandable given the amount of time and effort they take over the decades.
Agreed, those bonsai are decades old works of art that require constant care. The waygu would be the next and the pigments the next IMO, they still take a lot of effort and limited resources to produce.
Friend of mine is a trained guy for Leather and makes everything from wallets to renewing car seats. A Wallet with something on it is like 300-800€. At the moment he is making a "Handybag" that you can put on your belt for my father without anything special thats 120€ BUT lifelong quality and he makes this stuff for over 30 years now and a customer never came back cause something broke only because they wanted another thing from him.
Important to note: Most Wagyu beef sold outside of Japan isn't from Japan. As the video said, the cows are bred from Japanese breeds, often crossed with Black Angus. If the menu doesn't say specifically that it's from a certain area of Japan, it isn't from Japan at all.
I would never wait in line for one but, Supreme clothing is higher end than most designers. Probably the nicest t-shirts being sold. They are not obnoxiously expensive like Louis Vuitton or Gucci.
Everyone knows that the materials etc are very similar and that fakes are nearly the same, you're the idiot for thinking people don't know that. I buy supreme because I like the designs and when I'm bored of it I sell it for profit. So who's stupid the guy who looked good and profits or the one whos hating on TH-cam
Not really. yes I agree even though its proven it has all those minerals, they don't do anything good for you. But it has such a distinct and nice flavour. yes salt has nice flavour, since most salts are disgusting. e.g. most salts have an overwhelming flavour of citrus or what I can only describe as (if u could turn the felling of a 9v battery on your tongue into a flavour). however the Himalayan salt has only a salty flavour which doesn't burn or overwhelm your tongue.
I had Fugu twice while I lived in Japan. Once grilled and once as Sashimi. Tastes like shit. This is definitely more a gimmick food I feel like. For the cost I was expecting something super delicious but NOPE.
Well the snobs would say, it's an acquired taste. In other words, you have to spend a lot, taste that shit multiple times, and then you can convince your brain that you like it.
from what I've heard people eat it mostly for the sake of the thrill, the excitement and adrenaline of knowing what you put in your mouth could easily kill you if someone messed up something
I use several types of salt, and I taste the diffence between them all. when they are mixed into something, the taste is going to be determined by the quantity and at what stage of cooking you put it in/on. In general salt added when something is already on a plate and served is not going to taste the same as the same amount added in the beginning of the cooking. Still, if regularly switching up your salt, you begin to notice the diffences. The same is true of water, and sugar.
Hey should do a season on why healthcare is so expensive, and how the healthcare quality varies with different prices in various countries. good to spread the knowledge since most people spend most of their life's money to prolong the the last 10% of their life in our healthcare systems.
Correction: When they’re comparing black angus cattle prices to the cattle used for wagyu beef, he’s quoting auction prices for unregistered angus cattle. A registered black angus bull sold last year (2019) for $1.51 million. It was sold by Schaff Angus Valley ranch. We used to buy from them, and the prices could get real crazy real quick. A registered, unbred (open) cow there will routinely sell for more than $40,000.00. Unregistered angus may have other breeds in their lineage, and are sold on the hoof by the pound. Wagyu cattle are all registered, with a known lineage. So it’s not the same thing at all. This program is comparing apples to oranges on this one.
PillowPie Pie I know like it’s really only a status thing like if I payed £500 for a bag there should be a guarantee for like 30 year and it should have to be great quality and look good but I would still not buy it
a perfect forgery is more skillful than the original. Rembrandt can paint thousands of paintings each one a masterpiece but he couldnt put every stroke in the same place all over again with the same pigments on the same canvas with the same aging. i find that concept fascinating. some people DO place every single brush stroke to replicate a classic.
Same and I am God AND NOT JOKING watching people making money out off my creations everything is food and natural resources it OK too utilize what nature has perfided but when too much is taking the resources become greed the more rubbish we all make the more pollution that will destroy food and water LET US ALL LIVE NATURALLY NATIVE take nature but give back nature (BALANCE) this is why there so many disasters and no one can not stop it until there no more greed it a trend we all have been manipulated in a system many corporations has created
Dude I wore supreme in high school and it wasnt this hypebeast brand. It was just another skate brand to us. Like a Quicksiler or something. I dunno how it exploded to what it is now. That's like airwalks selling for $600
Champion was a welfare brand when I was growing up and apparently it’s like supreme now - weird - I’ll never buy into clothing crap - put my favourite saying on a shirt and that’s good enough for me :P
wow i really liked the oil paints, melons, and bonsai! it actually inspired me to buy a bonsai! I'd love to learn to do something like that. SUPER COOL!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this film .. Everything was fascinating! Coney Island where I am from, has always been a Pigeon Fancier Community btw... My Dads family, and many of my friends Families raised them...
growing up my dad had a ranch and bred black angus & brangus. All I could think at the first shot of the wagyu cows was "what a healthy, pretty cow." The Japanese sure know their ranching.
I've always loved Ultramarine. Lapis is one of my favourite stones; I have some pieces that are just so stunning. Japan is full of amazing skills and talents. They are a proud but humble people with a very rich history.
Rich history of raping and pillaging the nations around them and not being held accountable for their crimes, many soldiers still proud of their actions up to their recent deaths and the general culture willingly ignorant of the horror they propagated
I've been refilling my HP Photosmart 7510 564XL ink for the past 4+ years with its Original cartridges with NO Problems! Thanx for making an awesome printer/scanner HP!
I switched years ago to Laser since way more prints before i have to exchange the cardridge and no drying out ink anymore. My father bought his first just for black in 2005 and just switched cause of driver issues with Win10 and he wanted color and he changed the cardridge only 2 times. Ink printers are a huge scam for a long time.
@@jage5256 No it's not. Scripture is bullshite lies and steals from much older fake religions. And what's wrong with materialism?? It's heathly and good for society .
I use ultra marine blue pigment in my Artisan Soap making. I use only pigments and micas. When u make soap u use powdered micas ,pigments n oxides. All in powdered form and I mix them myself with olive oil and that’s just so that it’s easier to mix them in the soap for color. When u premix them with oil they incorporate so easily like cream in coffee lol. I love them.
Teacher: "What's your goal in life?" Me: "um.. well...to buy every series 7 tube of paint shades that exists..." Teacher: "That's achievable, great!" Me: "But each tube of paint cost like a bar of gold" Teacher: ".........."

But I preferred the processed supermarket honey..lol
We also use Manuka honey cream/ointment for some wound care where I work.
It’s almost astringent or very “medicine” tasting, so not something I’d use, unless I need a tonic!
“They have an awkward habit of barking and digging.” Uh m’lady that’s a dog?
my dog doesn’t bark or dig, he’s a doberman mix. it’s definitely a breed thing.
I’ve been obsessed with this series for weeks now, it is so good wow.
Me 2 man..thought me how to value stuff
10:16
"I actually do use the bag, people think I'm crazy"
..he's used it twice ever?
The puffer fish preparation segment is a scene straight from hell man
Yes and I like the excuse when they called it brain dead, yea right. To think nothing more of another living creature.
But it *was* dead though. They went right through the spine in one fell swoop. If you broke your neck it’s instant death. What you saw afterward was just the nerves spasming. It’s a normal response to sudden death. The fish felt nothing.

I live in New Zealand. When you mentioned manuka honey I was honestly kinda surprised. There are a few bee "museums" as such nearby to me that we visit whenever we go to a batch or campground. We usually pick up a few jars for about $50 max. They have a couple of free tastings usually as well and the taste is indescribable. It's like the difference between drinking some store-bought coke and 16-year-old scotch. It's so much more filled with flavour.
What they should be required to state, right after "They are hand made" ... is how much they payed the person that did hand-made that bag ... doubt it's more than $100 ...
I was wondering the same thing... Where does the wealth go...
I bet they get paid in publicity. Oooh.
Not only that these bags are expensive, you can't just go and buy one even you have the money. You have to beg the store to sell you one. Marketing to rich suckers is a genius strategy.
@@nsbioy same thing ferrari and rolex does, except theyll gladly offer you their worst models. Once you buy 5 or so you get the privilege of being put on a waiting list
Manuka and Kanuka honeys of NZ native trees are fabulous and have a very distinctive flavour unlike north american honeys. Manuka is unique in flavour- caramel-ish and not sickly sweet. I have used it for 30+ years and it is my all-time favourite. We buy it on the island of Great Barrier by the kg pail. Yummmmmm!
The only thing in this season that is actually worth the money is the bonsai. At least those are understandable given the amount of time and effort they take over the decades.
Agreed, those bonsai are decades old works of art that require constant care. The waygu would be the next and the pigments the next IMO, they still take a lot of effort and limited resources to produce.
No not worth the moment tf
And wagyu beef
Same with the melons then.
pufferfish does deserve it as well, it takes skill to prepare
Damn that bonsai master lady is soooo awesome. I respect what she does so much.
Low-key oil paint looking kinda delicious specially the red one
I love your marathon videos ❤️❤️
breed a species just for shows, but with bad health, pain, suffering and even death...
😥
I started watching the video then came back at the part about the melons and thought you were talking about breeding the melons 😂
What?! They can die?? OHHHH THE HORROR!!! 😭😭
Breed animals with modification.....to grow to adult size in 40 days and then die if they aren't killed. They live 10 years otherwise. Chickens.
Freaking weirdos are everywhere
I watched a lot of these videos when I was sick. I fell asleep and when I woke up, I woke up 10x sicker
Watching the oil paint at work is so soothing!
I've learned that the price of expensive stuff is mostly bullshit and posing.
The reason it's expensive is because people made it so.
Stupid but looks like it works:D
Not all items of course.
Prices of other expensive items are justifiable.
Wow, I think someone is onto something here. Next you will tell us that values are just societary agreements.
@Tony Muñoz I think it's still mostly market forces.
Friend of mine is a trained guy for Leather and makes everything from wallets to renewing car seats. A Wallet with something on it is like 300-800€. At the moment he is making a "Handybag" that you can put on your belt for my father without anything special thats 120€ BUT lifelong quality and he makes this stuff for over 30 years now and a customer never came back cause something broke only because they wanted another thing from him.
Printer Ink: This product is so expensive because... commercial greed.
I didn’t know lapis was so valuable, I find it everywhere when I go mining 😉
lol
bonsai lady is literally doing probably the purest job on earth
Important to note: Most Wagyu beef sold outside of Japan isn't from Japan. As the video said, the cows are bred from Japanese breeds, often crossed with Black Angus. If the menu doesn't say specifically that it's from a certain area of Japan, it isn't from Japan at all.
Black Angus is mostly not vom argentina either. :/
I've seen that melon episode so many times and I just can't ever take it seriously 😂
supreme and himalayan salt are the epitomes of things being expensive becuase people are too stupid to realize theyre the same as any other version
I would never wait in line for one but, Supreme clothing is higher end than most designers. Probably the nicest t-shirts being sold. They are not obnoxiously expensive like Louis Vuitton or Gucci.
Everyone knows that the materials etc are very similar and that fakes are nearly the same, you're the idiot for thinking people don't know that. I buy supreme because I like the designs and when I'm bored of it I sell it for profit. So who's stupid the guy who looked good and profits or the one whos hating on TH-cam

Not really. yes I agree even though its proven it has all those minerals, they don't do anything good for you.
But it has such a distinct and nice flavour. yes salt has nice flavour, since most salts are disgusting. e.g. most salts have an overwhelming flavour of citrus or what I can only describe as (if u could turn the felling of a 9v battery on your tongue into a flavour). however the Himalayan salt has only a salty flavour which doesn't burn or overwhelm your tongue.
Since when is pink salt expensive? It's not rare, it's everywhere and cheap. There are salts much more expensive.
I had Fugu twice while I lived in Japan. Once grilled and once as Sashimi. Tastes like shit. This is definitely more a gimmick food I feel like. For the cost I was expecting something super delicious but NOPE.
Well the snobs would say, it's an acquired taste. In other words, you have to spend a lot, taste that shit multiple times, and then you can convince your brain that you like it.
Read about natto then
from what I've heard people eat it mostly for the sake of the thrill, the excitement and adrenaline of knowing what you put in your mouth could easily kill you if someone messed up something
@@etzaliYT Russian roulette is cheaper and more fun. Death would be less painful too.
Wow really; so to satisfy your selfish whim an animal had to die? Well done you.🤢🤮
I use several types of salt, and I taste the diffence between them all. when they are mixed into something, the taste is going to be determined by the quantity and at what stage of cooking you put it in/on. In general salt added when something is already on a plate and served is not going to taste the same as the same amount added in the beginning of the cooking. Still, if regularly switching up your salt, you begin to notice the diffences. The same is true of water, and sugar.
Hey should do a season on why healthcare is so expensive, and how the healthcare quality varies with different prices in various countries. good to spread the knowledge since most people spend most of their life's money to prolong the the last 10% of their life in our healthcare systems.
Not most people
Only Americans
due to overpopulation....next question please
Health Care is expensive because people are greedy!!!! That's why!!!
@@hugomikhailov3933 but I bet you make up for it in taxes. Some how, some way you make up for it. There is no such thing as "free" in this life!!!!
Correction: When they’re comparing black angus cattle prices to the cattle used for wagyu beef, he’s quoting auction prices for unregistered angus cattle. A registered black angus bull sold last year (2019) for $1.51 million. It was sold by Schaff Angus Valley ranch. We used to buy from them, and the prices could get real crazy real quick. A registered, unbred (open) cow there will routinely sell for more than $40,000.00. Unregistered angus may have other breeds in their lineage, and are sold on the hoof by the pound. Wagyu cattle are all registered, with a known lineage. So it’s not the same thing at all. This program is comparing apples to oranges on this one.
Most of these items are just ridiculously hyped.
Been watching all these videos when it already came out
And now am gonna watch it all over again
15:51 - Samoyed has some interesting habits and traits - such as barking, digging..... WTF!! ITS A DOG FOR CHRIST SAKE!!
🤣😂🤣😂
'But you can stop that at a young age' YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO ITS A DOG
They have this thing where they eat. It’s pretty insane
A perfect example of bored rich people trying to justify why they/their stuff is special.
I am so happy I discovered this channel...
why pay a million for a pigeon when you can just steal one from the street, they are free, no ones going to stop you
Yes but does it go fast
Fully going to travel to the nearest city. Bag a few, sell them to the Japanese, and just say they're "Supreme" racing pigeons
They already explain why its expensive... pay attention before you complain...
After the corona, everyone will know a lot of weird shit about things..
Go ahead Brainiac. Knock yourself out with your “prize”,
Thanks for nice content. Do we have season 1, 2 marathons?
Demand/Supply = Price, this summarizes all the videos :)
The melons part are so cute, the old man treats the melons as if they’re his kids or pets 🥺
The dude who bought that handbag is a clown. someone please confiscate his bank account 😒😧
Donny Gunnz it was Jeffree Star 😂
He's a douchebag for sure. But he's getting rich off of idiots so I can't fault him. Still want to punch him in his stupid face though.
It doesn’t even look that good
Odessa Ciella These days luxury stuff are ugly e.i LV, and Gucci it’s all about status
PillowPie Pie I know like it’s really only a status thing like if I payed £500 for a bag there should be a guarantee for like 30 year and it should have to be great quality and look good but I would still not buy it
These are beautiful and I am staggered by the cost !!
soooo much interesting information! season 1, 2 marathons please!!!
a perfect forgery is more skillful than the original.
Rembrandt can paint thousands of paintings each one a masterpiece but he couldnt put every stroke in the same place all over again with the same pigments on the same canvas with the same aging.
i find that concept fascinating. some people DO place every single brush stroke to replicate a classic.
No element of creativity in a forgery
SalticidaeFan actually there is
Art conservators have to develop this skill so they can closely match the original when conducting repairs. It's extremely impressive.
There is nothing quite like a Samoyed. They have interesting characteristics like barking and digging 🤔🤪
I only came here to see them cut the salt in the beginning😂😂
Pretty girl
@RANDOM VIDEOS please send some to me
You're valid lol
we alll did
Same and I am God AND NOT JOKING watching people making money out off my creations everything is food and natural resources it OK too utilize what nature has perfided but when too much is taking the resources become greed the more rubbish we all make the more pollution that will destroy food and water LET US ALL LIVE NATURALLY NATIVE take nature but give back nature (BALANCE) this is why there so many disasters and no one can not stop it until there no more greed it a trend we all have been manipulated in a system many corporations has created
I learned about Supreme awhile ago and now every time I see someone with that label, I just laugh
Supreme could put their logo on some dog schitt and idiots will run out and buy it.
I had never heard of Supreme before today. There will always be people with more money than sense.
Imagine spending loads of cash for a white shirt with a logo XD
Dude I wore supreme in high school and it wasnt this hypebeast brand. It was just another skate brand to us. Like a Quicksiler or something. I dunno how it exploded to what it is now. That's like airwalks selling for $600
Champion was a welfare brand when I was growing up and apparently it’s like supreme now - weird - I’ll never buy into clothing crap - put my favourite saying on a shirt and that’s good enough for me :P
Bonsais growing trees in general seems to be perfectly suited activity for Immortals...
This was absolutely fantastic. What an awesome video overall. Thank you, Business Insider!
28:20 way fewer ppl have access to Fugu compared to oysters, so comparing the death numbers of the two isn't pertinent
Idk why I watched thr whole thing. I usually fall asleep to these. But today I just watched this whole vid
wow i really liked the oil paints, melons, and bonsai!
it actually inspired me to buy a bonsai!
I'd love to learn to do something like that. SUPER COOL!!
It inspired me to paint bonsai while eating melons
I would love to meet and train with the Bonsai lady. That seems so relaxing.
i don't see it as being relaxing
@@kawaiipateu147 Ok but like do. We need you to tell us that like genuily nobody cares if you don’t see it relaxing
Thoroughly enjoyed this film ..
Everything was fascinating!
Coney Island where I am from, has always been a Pigeon Fancier Community btw...
My Dads family, and many of my friends Families raised them...
"They have some interesting habits and traits such as barking and digging" woaaaa.... like the hell im amazed why its so expensive
growing up my dad had a ranch and bred black angus & brangus. All I could think at the first shot of the wagyu cows was "what a healthy, pretty cow." The Japanese sure know their ranching.
great work on this documentary thanks :)
Half of this show is just “Why is everything in Japan an art form?”
I've always loved Ultramarine. Lapis is one of my favourite stones; I have some pieces that are just so stunning.
Japan is full of amazing skills and talents. They are a proud but humble people with a very rich history.
Rich history of raping and pillaging the nations around them and not being held accountable for their crimes, many soldiers still proud of their actions up to their recent deaths and the general culture willingly ignorant of the horror they propagated
I've been refilling my HP Photosmart 7510 564XL ink for the past 4+ years with its Original cartridges with NO Problems! Thanx for making an awesome printer/scanner HP!
I switched years ago to Laser since way more prints before i have to exchange the cardridge and no drying out ink anymore. My father bought his first just for black in 2005 and just switched cause of driver issues with Win10 and he wanted color and he changed the cardridge only 2 times. Ink printers are a huge scam for a long time.
The vet named “Cat Wood” hahahaha its crazy😂😂😂
This video almost make me believe being rich is actually bad to mental health.
It is. Scripture say "the one who believes his materialism is awesome is just a dream in his mind." Profound huh?
Lol! 🤣 How true it is! 💯%! Especially when there are People starving and dying in this World! 😭😰😡
Yes
@@jage5256 No it's not. Scripture is bullshite lies and steals from much older fake religions. And what's wrong with materialism?? It's heathly and good for society .
I use ultra marine blue pigment in my Artisan Soap making. I use only pigments and micas. When u make soap u use powdered micas ,pigments n oxides. All in powdered form and I mix them myself with olive oil and that’s just so that it’s easier to mix them in the soap for color. When u premix them with oil they incorporate so easily like cream in coffee lol. I love them.
Teacher: "What's your goal in life?"

Completely blown away at how surprised I got that once again people can be so fuckn disrespectful. Destroying a preserve d pc of history for paint. Idk if im disgusted, intrigued about the spirit after it becomes paint or just frustrated
