This Is Your Bloody Valentine isn't a full length album, though. It's a mini-LP.

I guess I've always seen it more as a "be careful what you wish for" type deal. Society may suck, but it's better than the alternative.

Modest empirical argument being "hey you might be enslaved by a warlord, but you can buy phones on unregulated black markets so ca-ching". I'm packing my bags and leaving my first world mixed-market economy right now!

The Somalia thing is even better because there are actual libertarians that extol Somalia is a paradise. Or at least proof that anarchy is the best form of government.

Killing the guy off camera is just like in real life, where everything happens off camera.

It's pretty obvious why Jim Parsons won over Louis CK.

I'm getting pretty tired of everyone not namechecking the Shangri-Las more.

FDR!

It's someone else doing the talking, they just put peanut butter at the roof of his mouth, so it just looks like he's talking.

The it not making sense is the joke.

If it's unneccessary and it's part of something that leads to a general trend of increased sexism, then yes, they should be criticised. However, purposefully created titilation for the sake of titilation isn't something that just could be perceived as objectifying by the beholder, it is objectification, the beholder…

The password is OORRRRRRGGYYYYYY.

Well, yes people's interpretations of images can be different in the way that we're all unique little flowers and aren't always going to react the same, but increased objectification leads to general trends of affecting how both men and women view the role of women.

Sure, the difference between harmless or natural titilation and objectification is that one occurs naturally and one has reduced a person or gender to a sexual object expressly for the goal of titilation. And yeah, there's all sorts of history and gender context to be considered in there, but on a base level, I don't…

With the titilation or with your disingenuity?

It's a little disingenuous to compare Game of Thrones' use of nudity to the aesthetic pleasure of a sun set. While there has been art that does intend to capture the same sort aesthetic beauty, Game of Thrones' isn't part of that group. Its goal is to titilate.

Don't even get me started about the illdefined robot sexes.

I always interpereted it as Vonnegut satirising Fatalism and its resignation to just accepting great tragedy as unavoidable.

I think it's interesting that most of the entries are noted for their unsubtleness. We generally give greater credit unsubtlelty/understatedness, but when it comes to passion, subtlety doesn't really cut it.
