Between the Buried and Me, a progressive metal band that is considered legendary, is philosophically political in so much as that most of their albums are about the inevitable decline of humanity and the destruction of everything due to capitalism, greed, regressive ideologies etc. If you’ve never listened to them you should start with the Great Misdirect. Spotify has a live version I think and it is phenomenal.
I couldn’t have said it better myself, as a fellow dumb American.
There is a primate that washes their fruit off and it is a learned behavior. They have taught all the other in the species to do the same thing.
Very well said. Is it even possible to quantify intelligence? I mean, you can obviously measures brain size, which they did, and that was lacking, then they measured amount of gray matter, which matters a lot more, conclusively, but there is also the fact that even losing pieces of the brain cannot stop a person from being fully functioning due to neuroplasticity, and then you have concepts like IQ tests which are verifiable steeped in white exceptionalism aka racist as hell.
It seems like the issue is more nuanced than all that.
Not to mention grades are about doing the work and having the discipline and organizational skills. There are plenty of people who are very intelligent, but lack both of those. US testing metrics (is that the right word?) are heavily flawed. This isn’t even bringing up the racist aspect of most institutions, including educational being headed up and formulated by white people.
Hackers are revving up their fingers
That’s a complicated question with an even more complicated answer. The two words I will use are geopolitical advantage.
May we stop living in interesting times…
ITT: Really good story prompts…
Is this an original ? If so, do you write because I want more. You had me wanting to look up the book to buy it lol. Good shit
It took this post and recent bio classes to realize that this line refers to the hydrophilic nature of water molecules, so the reason it is a question if he gets wet underwater, is because a water molecule can’t get wet, as it’s water, and even if he isn’t a water molecule, they’re attracted to all particles including other water molecules, so the water would definitely get him.
There is no cheese.
Man is gonna fuck around and get ass-assinated.
EDIT: That means he is doing a bang up job for those not paying attention
Would get this in a heartbeat if it had couch co-op. What a shame. My wife would love to play it with me and we only have one Switch and also wouldn’t buy the game twice anyway.
Agreed and well said. It reminds me of when someone lauds Thomas Jefferson as being brilliant and having great political ideas for America, but then someone clutches their pearls because he was a slave owner. Yes, being a slave owner is abhorrent, BUT it doesn’t negate the positive contributions. That isn’t how reality works. You can condemn the bad and accept the good when it comes to the effects of people and organizations and concepts.
Quit inhaling your own farts.
Well. I never really gathered much direct information on what type of person Kissinger was, but considering the characters of both Anthony Bourdain and Sanders, I think I’ll put him in the burn in hell camp.
It’s much worse than that. Trump can’t be president again because he will quite possibly be the last president thr US will ever have, at least until he dies of cheeseburger overdose.
