It’s not an exact match to plagiarizing in all cases, but it’s close. A closer match would be “this is mine/ours now.” As in, Buddhists are not free from having to explain their use of the swastika in at least some contexts. Or Urban Outfitters and other such companies directly profiting off of Native American…
Not ownership, context. Things typically have their meanings because of context. That doesn’t mean they can’t gain meaning given different context, or that they’re guaranteed to lose it without it. Santorum. Rick Santorum. Frothy santorum. North Carolina BBQ. Texas BBQ. Korean BBQ. New York style pizza. …
No, not exactly as such. Erasure of cultural context and history is its concern. It’s “stealing” in the way that traditional plagiarism, or re-posting/re-uploading without attribution is. So it’s a complicated issue for some.
You can just stop right there, erase the “but” and leave the sentence as is.
FEMA administrator Brock Long “has really become very famous on television over the last couple of days,”
Well that’s unfortunate. Maybe his small screen daughters can break through to him, unlikely though that option may be.
Darned Kinja not easily marking threads... my post was meant to ask about the previous poster’s co-worker, not Trump. Sorry about the lack of clarity.
I mean, Dean Cain... he’s right there. He’s even been recently on a vaguely related topical show...
That’s fine, there may still be opportunistic passers-by. Just ask Dick Cheney.
Did he have any comment when Obama visited NJ after Sandy, and making a public point not to visit during to avoid causing interruptions in relief efforts, which he had approved about as soon as it became clear which scenario, and which areas it was going to hit?
Ambiguous, sure, since “for the ratings” could apply to either “during a hurricane”, which is what he said, or “pardoned Arpaio”, which isn’t. It’s defensible, though, to have that sort of headline. Not ideal, but defensible.
Came here for comments on shooting stance and grip, was not disappointed. Maybe he quietly idolizes those 90s ganstas...
Then it goes into surplus police auctions, right?
I’m not convinced that the response will be a failure on the level of Katrina, especially given that 1) Texas has, generally, a better reputation of taking care of itself, 2) the admin is pre-seeding a “this is bigger than FEMA can handle” just in case, and 3) the functioning head of FEMA isn’t a new admin appointee,…
Sure, but picking Scientology as the subject was intentional, for effect. You picked it for a reason, presumably that Scientology is accepted by some countries and groups to be pretty destructive to some/most of its members, and reportedly a scam devised by Hubbard more or less with that intent. I don’t know if Jung…
It may as well be initially posited as a framing device, as Madeline notes that Barnham wrote, that it’s immaterial whether or not the audience chooses to believe in the literal version that it happened to a previous version of me. That’s probably the sticking point for some, that the label on the box is that this is…
... and that it “worked”, inasmuch as they won, though their process of putting the actual ideological discussions waaay before the primaries got them hooked to container ship full of canned surstromming.
Going severely OT, but... I kind of wonder if there are actual back channels for communication with Russia now, under fairly solid cover, via Syria cooperation. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-syria-military-idUSKCN1B32SU
Yeah, although the quality of Gina Carano’s movies varies...
