I really like ballet and I’d like to see a Chinese ballet, but I’ve heard this is shitty.

Shirts that go Hard have put out some quality shirts, but this is their finest.

Ethically it’s on par with a normal ballet, but it’s also charging $80 for the cheapest seat while the Colorado Symphony charges like $55. Those are the lord deterring me. I shouldn’t be charged a premium for a hogwatch when I’m already not getting a good performance.

Potentially it’s just generic white people who think it’s any other ballet, but that in itself would be the baseline for fun people-watching. That’s a four page booklet where the entire last page is dedicated to anticommunism, so I’m hopeful it’s going to be motivated anticommunists of some kind even if I don’t anticipate it being a Trump rally.

I feel like I could convince him to go a second time if I stress that it’s in Wyoming. Ever since I saw a billboard for it a few years ago I’ve wondered what kind of Guy goes to it there. It’s going to be entirely new species of goobers.

only one of them?

My problem with adventurism always comes down to underpants gnome logic. Step 1: Do that thing. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Social revolution

There’s no individual thing, no great man or building or company, that holds it all together. Everyone is just as disposable as we are and that gap will be filled by things just as demonic that are empowered by shock doctrine. No individual action has such tremendous propaganda of the deed that it can make enough people do Step 2 to overcome the reaction to the original act. Nobody burned a second police station in Oregon or every police station everywhere the next day, it’s just one more spectacle. Revolution is the boring work of meetings and reading and agitating while capitalism crumbles under the weight of its own contradictions, then seizing on individual moments of rupture with the much more powerful organisations you built.

come on nitrous oxide, git sum

We need to vote for Obama in 2008 so he can close Guantanamo Bay.

Nah, I just couldn’t think of something to edit in which would match what you actually said.

I was just skimming my phone when cooking and misread your comment as “said no one ever” to which I replied “source: a book”.

mom never lets me play Introduction to Random Signals and Noise. I’ve beaten Environmental Plant Physiology so many times and even got 100% on soil pH challenge mode.

That’s a pretty generic closure. They sent similar messages during the moderator protests as they went public. Protesting subreddits were temporarily closed and the mods were swapped out for controlled ones.

Titan Invictus, Simone, Industry Americus, Malcolm, Torsten Savage and Octavian George

Shut the fuck up.

edit:

Still, the Collinses’ ideas about what will encourage people to have more babies are unconventional, even among other pronatalists.

They dismiss solutions such as more housing or more money as “unrealistic.” And just because a policy is pro-family — universal day care, for example, or extended parental leave — doesn’t necessarily mean it will encourage people to have more children, they say.

Instead, they’re pushing for deregulating the day-care industry (“We have data on this,” Malcolm said, sharing a Substack link) and removing car-seat mandates (another Substack link). Requiring parents to have car seats discourages people from having big families, because you can only fit in so many seats, he argued. “In a number of states, you need to be in a car seat until you’re, like, 16, right?”

I do know where to draw the line- those who did harm. I as a nurse would not have done this. If I did, I would be punished. I as a receptionist would not do this. If I did, I would be punished. If your name is on a form leading to this, that’s the person I’m talking about. Not the janitor or the cafeteria worker, but anyone willing to put their name on paperwork condoning a blatantly unethical violation of what healthcare means. Those people uniformly deserve the same punishment and that punishment keeps them from pretending they have a place in civil society after this historical period is over.

My point is that I don’t care if you drew this patient’s blood or signed their warrant. Culpability is culpability.

I don’t care whom, only that the goal is achieved.

Death penalty. Unlimited death penalty on those responsible for doing harm against their ethical obligation.

Also, the chord in its context with the prelude and Liebestrod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4bqRlNSQQE

The central idea of classical music to that point was that there is a core note, the tonic, and it sounds good when you resolve that tonic by playing around it and returning to it. Wagner introduces the tonic in the prelude as his Tristan Chord. It’s representing a love that can’t be fulfilled because he’s the knight of the king she’s pledged to wed. Wagner spends four hours teasing the audience with an infuriating series of notes that never register as complete music. It’s the first real modernist use of dissonance in music I can think of, using an unpleasant sound for a bigger reward.

I now want Victoria III plus period-accurate milsims.
