Hey thanks! You just saved me some googling. I was like “I wonder if this is the dude with the crazy voice I heard on NPR yesterday? ... Hedonism bot you say? Yup. This is him”

I will not stop posting until The Slot acknowledges that Gorka sounds exactly like Hedonism-bot. I don’t know if it’s the condescending tone or the fact that he seems to luxuriate in $5 words but he absolutely sounds like he’d have himself covered in exotic oils as he watched shoplifters get beheaded.

Aight, I get you guys hate Jill Stein around here, and third parties in general. You’re loyal and it’s great.

Yeah, rule #6 should really be #1, but it is often the one that you have no control over and can do nothing about after the fact.

I was actually going to ask for an article on collaborating with 4 wonderful people, 2 rotten examples of humanity, and 1 nice but clueless person. Now that would be an article!

I see this a lot - especially in younger fans of slash. Male characters in many forms of media tend to be better developed, and I think we are always harsher on characters that are supposedly reflective of our selves, racially/sexually/age-wise/gender especially in the case where we are under-represented and forced

That Russian guy was just the fucking best.

I don't know. I'm getting a huge whiff of '"Philosophy, with a focus on periods prior to contemporary times, when the discipline was ruined by identity politics."

So I think it'd be something like that. I'm not sure exactly where the "not only" is supposed to be attached but I think it goes off the dense. I also took opheeling's advice and put a glass jar where the subject and verb would be in an actual sentence. Soo... about my money.

This doesn't shock me one bit.

So basically, women have more realistic expectations, thus their expectations are more frequently realized.

So here's the catch? Do we think that just because certain people will get in wrong, we should stay away from celebrating more diverse events and influences? I say, let em fuck up, be awkwardly shamed for appropriation and talk about how cool it is that eastern influence in western fashion is being examined with a

It's infuriating to see such a muddled argument pretending to be some sort of expert statement while showing such deep ignorance of the words and references that are supposedly supporting the argument. Well, either ignorance or the arrogant assumption that those reading the argument won't have the knowledge or

It seems a bit weird to suggest that we should "propagate the best that is known and thought in the world" and then be stuck at a Victorian philosopher, ignoring all the work on philosophy of knowledge, philosophy of science and critical thinking that has been published in the 20th century.

When they show up, start pouring out pitchers of lemonade to keep on hand? That way you're not trying to fill 15 at once on one machine's volume. I have no idea if that would work with your set up but it's what popped into mind.

Was it this or the Daily Show last night that made light of only getting candidates from known "brands"? I was half asleep.

loins do not respect the subtleties of history

FUN FACT: Sekhmet, the ancient Egyptian lion-goddess of vengeance and war, was also the goddess of menstruation.

Didn't Laura Ingalls and Almanzo do this circa 1890?

I once had the opposite experience — a professor had us all take a personality test, and then he handed out the results and had us say how accurate we thought they were. Once we'd all agreed they were accurate to extremely accurate, he got somebody to read hers out loud.

Maybe that was just her little way of trying to prepare you guys for your inevitable futures of administering and teaching for idiotic standardized tests.
