Conceptual

At a time when the term conceptual art is bandied about in reference to such transparently non-conceptualists as Tracey Emin, this show by nine contemporary artists reminds us of a creative genre that puts as much emphasis on often highly obscure ideas as on the apparent resolution of the finished image. ❋ Unknown (2011)

conceptual [ideas] are found everywhere. [pink floyd's] [the wall] is a conceptual album. ❋ Eazy-X (2008)

The conceptualization brought about by C++20 [concepts] demonstrates how C++ is becoming less of a "practical" language and more of a "toy" language. You literally spend most of your fucking time creating the most [contrite] complex way to represent an otherwise simple object using templates, [enums], [const], constexpr, and other stuff. It's fun and it gets you high, but you ultimately waste most of your time figuring out the most expressive possible way to write code and totally lose sight of the end goal of actually getting stuff done and making things happen. ❋ Bad C Dev (2021)

Hym "I don't give a shit if I agree with you or even like you; Anyone can catch [these (conceptual) hands]. And catch them you will. In direct response to perceived slight. Or if I get disgruntled by a thing you've said that is entirely unrelated to me. Or a thing that reminds me of something I don't like that also reminds me of you. There are 0 reasons for which I will [not slang] these (conceptual) 'thangs'. 'Thangs' meaning 'hands'. But not actual hands. Conceptual ones. It might even be over something as little as me thinking you think a thing that I don't like people to think. Blam! Conceptual hands! Just like that. [It's that easy]. It happens that fast. 'Why is that (conceptual) fist flying at me?' you'll ask. But you're asking the wrong guy. You'd better ask my therapist because even I don't." ❋ Hym Iam (2022)
