So, sore winner?

Okay. I want this polished to the point I can see my face in it. This is a game that should never be rushed to meet a deadline, take all the time in the world Rockstar. A sequel to a game of a generation doesn’t come along all that often after all.

I think your problem is the same one people have when first listening to ambient or experimental music. They’re used to songs with hooks and choruses and bridges, so hearing a song without those elements can be alienating and weird. You can’t judge that kind of music with the same framework that you use to judge more…

Until this happens, because it didn’t, here’s a nice picture of a non autonomous truck slamming into a row of parked cars.

Being disrespectful to individual, underpaid, overworked teachers is so hip.

Is it just me, but I feel bad about the colossus. He was just minding his own business then this jack-off came around, riled him up and then commenced to murdering him for no reason. This thing was like a giant cow, why the hostility?

It’s problematic because the implication that “you’d like sucking a fat cock” is negative was clear in the nature of the insult.

I mean, I’m a straight dude, and I wouldn’t be terribly insulted by someone telling me to “go suck a fat cock,” because that’s not something I do in my daily life, and can therefore brush…

I can’t be the only one laughing about the irony of a car that sounds like it wants to murder younglings..... driven by someone sporting a Buddha on their helmet....

...Well fuck, that’s what the boom was. FML.

I think the most interesting thing is how it re-wires my sense of place. There are lots of places that were less accessible when I was driving (because of the parking and/or drinking problem) that are suddenly more accessible when I don’t drive. Places that I hated driving to that are transit-accessible are now a lot…

I’ve always said that commuting is not driving. Most of the time it’s just sitting in traffic trying to not get hit by some moron and stressing about whether you’re going to get someplace on time.

A couple of things:

1.) I actually make a strong effort to keep my personal politics out of my teaching, as I thought I made clear in several of my posts. It’s not for me to push my students in one direction or another—only to give them the tools to grapple with the concerns they’ll run into outside of my classroom.

But,…

So when it’s time to sell, and your realtor tells you just how much that lawn sculpture next door is negatively impacting your expected sales price, you won’t be pissed as hell.

I’m sorry, are you suggesting that if someone were holding up a Swastika sign at a sporting event you would find it difficult to denounce that?

It’s the circllllllle of retaaaaaaaaailllllll...

I’ve only seen this happen once, but we should probably ban all coffee tables... for the children...

I have several of those life changes, like a toddler running around, and I feel like my coffee table is even more useful now. Not getting rid of it anyway, but now I feel like I’m going to keep it out of spite.

Counterpoint: No.

Bros before backhoes.

Eh. As I said earlier in the thread, I teach; I’m a professor of Rhet/Comp, and teaching logical argument semester after semester is both the most Sisyphean task I’ve ever engaged in, and the most rewarding.

It’s trying because each semester, I’m faced with a new crop of, “But I have a right to my OPINION, even if it’s…
