My only goal is that when I die relationships are ruined fighting over my trinkets.
It’s petty but I have some dope trinkets

What nonsense. How could they spend their hard-earned money on that?
Luckily I made much better choices, so my kids will some day inherit quite the impressive Star Wars Armada spaceship collection.
Unfortunately those kids will have misplaced nostalgia for flowery tea seats, but their kids will love the spaceship collection!
Balkan parents share a lot with Midwestern american parents.
No no we can't use those plates! Those are your inheritance!
As someone who haunts estate auctions, for the voyuerism as well as the opportunity for cheap goods, this looks very much like a standard staple on auction in an effort to clean out the item of real value: the house.
We have four sets of fine china in our basement, from various grandparents passing. We also got one for our wedding. One day I'm going to pass them all to my kids.
I'm hoping that one day society collapses under the burden of guilt ridden plates.
I started using one of the sets I inherited as day to day plates. So far nothing's broke, and I feel classy AF eating a bologna sandie off fine china.
Love that. I always found it mildly annoying when people have all these sets but never use them. Why. Why not. What's the point of having them in a drawer
She has those guns.
Of course she does, she carries the weight of civilization.
"The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. Studies have shown that an ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother."

One of my friends family had one of those filled with so many plates that one of the shelves buckled and fell breaking all of them.
Holy slop picture Batman
Picture dates back to 2017, though not from the Balkans
Thanks for finding the source. Not a single raikja glass? Looked sus AF being "Balkan."
i think the picture in the post might have been run through some ai filter. the plates, cups, etc. have those characteristic ai "smudges" on them, and i can't say that the hand looks any more correct. i'm just wondering why would somebody bother putting this through such filter, unless that was done automatically by some random software
That does seem quite possible, I was suspicious of the smearing as well which is why I went looking for a source. As to why it would get put through a filter, hard to say, but it's becoming far too common which further blurs the line between real and AI.
I appreciate the sauce and admit they are largely the same picture. It looks like someone downloaded a 360p jpeg of that picture then upscaled it with AI or something, or somehow managed to prompt the picture out wholesale. The most egregious part IMO is here:
The color desaturation is sus and the difference between teacup and cream? pot designs screams slop at me. The hand holding the cup&saucer, other saucers and the crystal glasses all look wrong too.
That doesn’t even look slightly USA.
What makes you think it's slop? Yes, she has an abnormally large bicep, but apart from that? Honest question.
Frankly the bicep is one of the more believable aspects of the picture. See my other reply in the chain for my reasoning
Zoom in. It becomes a bit more obvious then.
