Yep, nothing to do with oil prices... And a low Canadian dollar is neither bad nor good for our economy, but don’t let economics get in the way of your HDS.
I voted for him, but for fuck’s sake can this infantile gush-fest for our new PM just stop? It’s at the point where he could drop a deuce on stage and everyone would praise its rose-like smell and creamy texture (not like that evil Harper whose shit smells like.... well, shit.)
Sorry, being a highschool math teacher doesn’t require (nor indicate) an understanding of quantum mechanics, and engineering is a large field in which quantum computing is a very small part. It’s possible to believe that these were mostly talking points but that he is also intelligent enough to understand said points.
It wasn’t laziness, it was technological limitation: there would never have been enough time to upload a decent pic from the probe before it lost contact. You would need to float something in the atmosphere to get a good image.
The war on drugs (read minorities and non-conformists) started long before the Nixon and his Republican administration (hint: FDR) Also note that the irrational mania against drug use has extended far beyond the U.S. with virtually every modern nation state hopping on board during the 20th Century at some point, even…
Actually the Brits are currently just as insano regarding race relations, but at least they’re consistent across all races/cultures in applying this insanity: Motorist prosecuted for calling traffic warden ‘English’
No, because censorship means the author has no say in it. Self-censorship is entirely by the author, meaning that they decided to do it.
Self-censorship is simply editing. It doesn’t matter if it has it’s own Wikipedia page. It’s still called editing.
Out comes the ad-hominem... check mate. And yes, self-censorship is a “thing”:
“I don’t feel artists or writers should edit their work.” Whoops, when you put it like that, it sounds stupid. Which it is.
I find your reasoning about Sansa’s rape... quite reprehensible.
I understand you fine, I’m just disagreeing with you, there’s a difference. My point is that the Sansa rape scene was too tame and lacking in explicit visual imagery to be titillating (by your definition) to even those who get off on such things. I say visual because male sexuality is primarily stimulated via imagery…
As I said before the only thing I found shocking about this scene was how tame it was compared to what the online uproar had me anticipating; I was actually getting ready to skip forward, but then it ended without actually showing much of anything except Theon’s face. So yes its main effect on me was to make me loathe…
We’re clearly arguing semantics. While titillate often implies sexual arousal it is by no means limited to just that form of stimulation; more often than not it simply indicates a general stimulation or arousal. Online definitions are about 50/50 on whether they even include a sexual component: titillate.
You are using two words which, in the context you use them, mean essentially the same thing: to say someone enjoys being horrified is to say they are being titillated by that horror (i.e. they find it stimulating on some level, conscious or otherwise.) Our post modern age is good at camouflaging the fact that we enjoy…
Are you kidding? Violence for titillation is the premise behind every action/horror movie ever made.
Nor do I have a strong grasp of this, but in my layman’s opinion I don’t think some kind of signal is being sent either, but that the 2 particles are in some sense merging into one particle (or composite) that manifests in 2 places simultaneously.
Tamper proof encryption, instantaneous transmission of information, processors that would make a current next-gen CPU look like an abacus in comparison, and probably countless others that we have not even thought of.
