Even agreement is defined by the conventions or institutions that broker the agreement and the exclusions which are assumed in order to define the community that is in agreement. Which is to say its still political. Sorry my Ranciere and Badiou is showing

I’m trans, someone who knows this and uses he/him pronouns for me is making a political choice. Same with someone who uses she/her for me. Everything is political. Yes, litterally everything including whatever petty counterexample you or whoever replies to this comment will bring up.  Learn that or stop posting

The dictionary definition DOES claim politics is inherent to human interaction, that’s kind of the point. Anyone attempting to say otherwise is effectively discounting the relatively important definition of governance and the context that most of the world does not live under kings or dictators who can single-handedly

I understand *where* he’s coming from (I feel like the point of it is that gamers are allowed a political opinion, but developers and publishers should shy away from it), just not the idea of it.

So what theoretical financial framework do you find acceptable lol? Gold, large stone circles, thoughts and prayers?

Uh, JRH’s response to you was actually pretty well-founded. The notion of “paying for” any government action through direct accounting with specific taxes is in itself a disingenuous ploy that is only expected of social programs. We never ask “how are we going to pay for wars” or “how can the Pentagon just magically

This line is repeated ad nauseum by anyone that doesn’t like Bernie... HE HAS RELEASED FIGURES, HE HAS RELEASED THE PLANS, HE HAS TALKED AT LENGTH WHAT WE CURRENTLY PAY VS WHAT IT WILL COST IN TAXES - MOST OF WHICH IS CARRIED BY THE TAXES ON THE TOP EARNERS AND NOT ON THE BOTTOM 50-99% OF CITIZENS...

yes he did..

The question was totally legit. It’s a fair question to ask when talking about the legacy of the person you are discussing to a women that was in the same profession and close to that person. Something that was a pretty big event that happened and for a time lead to totally different narrative for Bryant. You can’t

When is the appropriate time to bring up Kobe’s past? It will forever be “too soon” for some people and “old news” for some others. So where is that magic hour that people will actually want to talk about it?

That said, I can’t blame him in general for telling a heckler to STFU. 

And remember — these are the *same* people who demand that every fetus be born...into abject poverty, destitution, free from any education or future, to burden all those women who were smart enough to know they were in no position to raise a child (how dare they question society’s judgment!).

Tits are more offensive than guns.  Fuck this country.

1) Stop begging the question about racism-at-large or “does this problematic thing I enjoy make me problematic” because that ain’t what we’re talking about and you know it.

Imagine playing a modern riff of Lovecraft, thinking the idea is pretty cool, then going on to read almost any of his writing. Like, close your eyes and throw a dart at a board picking what to read.

Turns out 12 is just enough for my handle basically everywhere. Now, if only Nintendo could give me a couple extra letters.

Reread The Call of Cthulu and pay attention to his descriptions of people, you’ll notice that it’s not as separate from his writings as you think.
