  1. So far I personally cant think of a single thing because even something as great as the hadron collider which discovered "the God particle" can be explained, but huge stones in a desert cant?

    edit: nevermind i read your question wrong

    why cant we delete posts anymore

  2. done that. found some stuff they posted on a couple of special interest forums.

    I know there's more because of an exerpt of a text I have (got emailed to me by accident in a reply all clusterfuck) they published online or posted on a forum in the last year. It's pretty explicit and disturbing, and they probably would not have used their regular internet handle for that. So I don't have the website, don't have the username, just the piece of text. Tried googling it but no hits.....

    I might be getting a little too obsessed over this...

    is it xenox101?

  3. related: http://www.scribd.co...an-Suicide-Note

    a suicide "note" that is 1,905 pages long written by a guy who shot himself in front of a church at Harvard (he didn't go to Harvard)

    ugh, i gave that clunker a once-over

    my own issues with it:

    - not peer reviewed

    - sociobiology is already a tenuous method, using it for political analysis is a larger leap of faith. add to that historical politics, dang.

    - he uses historical data, but isn't a historian by training (ie: he might trust his sources too much)

    - his hypothesis about it being censored or repressed has not come true

    bringing evolution to the humanities has been trendy lately, much to my personal dismay. a lot of the junk that gets turned out of fields like evolutionary psychology rely on entirely speculative or hypothetical thought exercises. there's also been a strand of evolutionary thought that interprets darwin in a dangerous way, which is herbert spencer's "survival of the fittest". it would be more accurate to say "survival of the fit enough".

    this should probably go to the philosophy thread though my bad for everyone who came here to hear embarassing stories

    i confess that i actually enjoy jim jarmusch's movies

    edit: wow just revisted a few chapters and there's a lot of crypto-fascism and racist stuff in there. this guy really didn't understand his topics

  4. currently hating on all these larvae wriggling around on the figurative supershopper floor saying

    tres bien shop codes?

    tres bien shop codes?

    t r e s b i e n s h o p c o d e s ?

    goddamn, just buy something from the store or call the desk

  5. gottamn cruel summer pop off so hard :D

    i'm not sure exactly what that means, you should understand that my busy lifestyle precludes me from 'keeping it real' and as such, i lack a certain familiarity with the language of the 'streets' as it were.

    that said, i have been playing songs from 'cruel summer' very often in the last couple weeks, and i find it highly enjoyable

    i think we are in agreement

  6. re: rand

    from what i've read, rand also seems to simply be a poor reading/interpretation of nietzsche

    just go to the source, nietzsche is more deeply thought, nuanced, and less prescriptive. thus spoke zarathustra is also better written, IMHO. avoid the translation by thomas common, he has made serious errors like conflating "bad" and "evil". also, lest you just read zarathustra for personal, quotey inspiration, look up heidegger's interpretation, which will bring you closer to an understanding of the philosophy embedded in the poetry of zarathustra

  7. So I'm at a birthday party for a classmate of my 4 year old. Here now still. It's ridiculously lavish and extremely suburban, and Disney Princess themed. It's super over the top, and you can tell the parents went apeshit planning and executing this thing. It's actually been decent enough, even tho I don't know anyone here and the inside of the house is painted with "Christ is Our Savior" quotes, but still...for the kids, fun enough. So they bring everyone inside for a magic show, and the "magician/clown" at this party ends up being a paid chic fil a employee, and stopped the show to do a cfa commercial telling the kids how awesome it is and why they should eat there, then did the rest of the show with cfa props. Shit was mad awkward and bizarre, and a handful of the parents start clapping and chanting "Chic-Fil-A Chic-Fil-A!" and trying to get the kids to go along with it. My kid looks up at me with this confused look and I'm just like "oh hell nah". He has no idea what's going on, but he didn't participate and I'm way proud. What the fuck man, where am I? Hahahahaa this shit is weird.

    i looked at some of the facebook comments on chick fil a's page awhile ago and there is some pretty crazy stuff on there. a lot of people in the US think that there is a "homosexual agenda" designed to subvert the christianity and the US (the two are one in the same, of course), and now some people think chick fil a's success is due to "god's grace" and so whenever they eat there they are like imagining they are supporting god in the greater struggle against gays and liberals (read: socialist)

    really, look this shit up on conservapedia if you don't believe me, this is top priority in a lot of people's minds

    i mean wow
