    Lefties: Who Excites or Inspires You?

    Fair enough. Have these organizations accomplished anything of note? :crylarf: Crazy thing is, I'm the most anti-conservative motherfucker you will meet this side of the pond. More for their dismissal of science and philistinism than their attitudes re: gender/racial/income inequality, but...

    Lefties: Who Excites or Inspires You?

    Just backlash against Trump's historically low poll numbers at the time. The Stormy Daniels thing was looming, Mueller was looming, Trump's attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to violation of campaign finance laws, the Cabinet became a revolving door... like a comical episode of The Apprentice...

    David Foster Wallace

    Yeah his essays on the McCain campaign trail and the late 90's porn convention are so funny and heartbreaking at the same time. I mean, all of these writers (DeLillo, Pynchon, DFW, etc.) have souls, just divided, heartbroken, long-suffering ones. Come to think of it, maintaining a balance of...

    Lefties: Who Excites or Inspires You?

    How is this thread clickbait? It's a legitimate question. You have the primaries starting in less than a year, a Mueller report that yielded nothing worth remarking on, and liberals are still fantasizing about impeachment. What does that tell you about their excitement level for 2020? I live...

    Jordan Peterson thinks it makes sense to compare humans with lobsters

    See I interpret Peterson's embrace of the paleo-tribal lifestyle and (maybe toxic) masculine archetypes as an attempt at cultural therapy for a generation of half-born men raised by television and film (Gen-X), and digital media (Millennials), and trying to force or shame them into tapping...

    David Foster Wallace

    Can't help noticing someone has recently revived threads about Don DeLillo, Thomas Pynchon, David Foster Wallace, JG Ballard, and Richard Powers. Side bets on the next canonical postmodern novelist to get a thread? My money is on Philip K. Dick. Natural progression from the...

    Craner's Top 100

    Loved that Positive K track as a kid. Not sure it has aged well in the "#MeToo era" (lmao @ "#MeToo era".... are we really living in the MeToo era? Will future history books define this period of time as the MeToo era? If so, this shit needs to stop now, and either 1) Legal actions need to be...

    Myths

    Brian Jones was a sacrificial offering. Jimi Hendrix committed suicide. Jim Morrison was murdered (thought he was snorting coke, turned out it was extremely potent heroin). All true btw. Also, not music related but: both Lee Harvey Oswald AND John F. Kennedy were on LSD when the...

    Jordan Peterson thinks it makes sense to compare humans with lobsters

    I don't see the connection between these two statements. So does it mean something else? Maybe group sex followed by human sacrifice? That's noble, romantic, and savage all at once.

    Billie Eilish

    Would be a great Billie Eilish lyric. Some variation of it. "This is where my corpses shine / Stare with me, let's go blind" (eh just keep driving it into the nerve, AN)

    Lefties: Who Excites or Inspires You?

    It feels like liberals (at least in the US) are in this undead state. All the life, energy, youth, and new ideas have drained out of them, maybe wasted on moral outrages over transgender bathroom rights and other unsubstative clickbait "issues." Everyone freaking out over Donald Sterling's...

    Jordan Peterson thinks it makes sense to compare humans with lobsters

    No kidding. Some things never change. Maybe I'm immune to the hysteria and jouissance that drives these hyperbolic debates about identity politics. It just sounds like everyone proclaiming their identity at the same time, just trying to drown out anyone who doesn't fit their prototype of what a...

    Jordan Peterson thinks it makes sense to compare humans with lobsters

    So no one else is a fan of JP's lectures on DMT and Disney films? I'm the only one?! As far as his public persona, don't you think some of it is reading/playing to the crowd? Maybe he's just assuming the father role Gen X'ers were never equal to so you millennial media consumption/porn/wank...

    Loving my new identity. Just here to feel it out for a minute. Thanks Dissensus. I needed one.

    Billie Eilish

    Anyone in Germany or France who can clear this up? I know it's 16 where I live (Atlanta), and that applies to adults. If what you are suggesting is correct, and it might be, then in states/countries where the legal limit is 18, any sex between two minors would be illegal, which.... Jesus, could...

    Billie Eilish

    Listen, that would make you the nonce, not to mention a huge douche. All I did was make a joke with an absurd hypothetical premise.

    Billie Eilish

    I should re-title this thread "Trigger Alert: Billie Eilish Editition." If she was reading this she would be laughing her ass off at the puritanical, self-righteous, paranoid responses. I know I am.
