You do realize that the very name “objectivism” is a feeble attempt to tack rationality onto the basic tenants of a philosophy that has nothing to do with being rational, right? There’s no intrinsic relationship between the independence of reality from consciousness and the rejection of altruism. There’s nothing more…

They have disrupted other candidates, well they tried to disrupt Hillary but her security was too tight. Also they disrupted Jeb and others.

And the editors had to add the figurative part in. Her original didn’t include it. http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/Katrina-Chicag…

I absolutely love this album but there a couple song messages that ring sour for me. On ‘Alright’ and ‘How Much a Dollar Cost’ the overriding message seems to be, “Faith in God is the only thing that’ll get you through.”

When someone says “Trump’s just telling it like it is” or “he says what we’re all thinking” or “he’s a straight shooter,” what they are actually telling you is “hi I’m a huge racist and am tired of politicians just pandering to me with dogwhistles, I would prefer regular whistles so we can all hear it.”

“White Americans in the majority think themselves good peeople and not actively racist.

Except that simply having that stereotype around can lead to these people thinking they have to live up to that stereotype to be accepted.

“Deadspin only played an excerpt which made me sound racist. If you listen to the full thing you’d know I’m incredibly dumb AND racist.” - Colin Cowherd

This whole situation is perplexing. Cowherd is usually so rational and composed.

Cowherd thinks his musings are comparable to a sloppy Hulk Hogan fuck tape, and I’m not sure who should feel insulted.

He sings songs and really wants to date Taylor Swift, but she sees him more like a little sister

I like this version better:

The real problem is not that they changed Stormgren from a Scandinavian UN diplomat to an American farmer. The problem is that Stormgren is a secondary character in the book, only playing a role in the first few chapters. The actual lead character of the novel is Jan Rodricks, an Afro-British college student. The book…

FOr those who are still clearly not going to get the point of this. there are a flood of materials out there that intelligently describe the many and varied experiences of minorities living in America. Read them, more than one of them, and break out of your little bubble to see what someone else might be going…

Only tourists appreciate this. Because it’s so colorful. The rest of us just want some god damn peace and quiet. The only thing worse than the singers are the preachers. They are dreadful, and they always seem to ONLY preach from the Bronx and stop just when we get to Manhattan, thus THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF MY COMMUTE.

DO NOT SING ON THE SUBWAY! I don’t care HOW famous you are, we’re all just trying to get to work and just want to ignore everyone around us so we can read a book or listen to a podcast. We are trying to have a goddamn civilization here! People in a train are the very definition of a captive audience since they CAN’T…

Any time I see these posts I have to remind myself that these people are enjoying themselves in a safe space they like. I just find it all fucking creepy and weird to me.

“I shop with a white friend who poses as me so I can see the same places.”

You could always do what my mom did: house/apartment hunt through phone calls, then send your white friend in to check the place. Once you have all of the paper work squared away, then you show them that you’re really a spooky darkie, but it’s too late for them to do anything about it since you signed a lease.

At that speed? Nah, the microwave background would get blue shifted to the visible spectrum and all you’d see is just
