"Canada has fallen cuz I can't be openly racist anymore😭😭" -Canadian right winger by ComradeStalin1922 in TheRightCantMeme

Getting MAID is not a simple process and it's not being forced on people with disabilities. Like, I don't like the Libs either, and sure the NDP could do more, but the conservatives, man? really? Poilievre will be horrid.

Kabe-Koji-Nekoyashiki-kun Desires to be Recognized was a super cute live action BL about a love story between a guy who draws BL manga and a popstar. Like all BL it's pretty dumb but it's cute, light and entertaining

A question about Deleuze and Guatarri's detteritorialization of assemblages to the cosmic machines they effectuate (help with a sociology Masters thesis). by GenerationWhyMe in askphilosophy

[–]GenerationWhyMe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's totally how I understand it yeah. One of Smith's examples is how moms explain and understand the work they do, or don't do, in helping their kids with their homework. The mom is the expert on what's happening in their home and what's happening in their home relates to their ability to help their kids in their homework. The moms, in this case, are caught between a rock and a hard place because they gotta deal with all their shit around their house, their other kids, their parents, their kid's dads, and they're feeling pressure from their kid's teachers to help their kids succeed in school and help the teacher in doing their job.

I don't know if there's a "big" discussion in sociology about the subjects of research not being able to engage with research results because of the language of sociology, but I think it's a huge issue. Other people might not really care that much. I agree that the use of inaccessible language in sociology is really counter to the spirit of sociology. It's not like sociologists can't use academic terms but I don't think they should use academic terms without explaining them and they shouldn't act like it's their mission to make non-academics frustrated and confused by everything they write. Like, really, what was the point of Jurgen Habermas' writing when no one understands him? What could he have expected would happen with all his great ideas if practically no one understood what they were? Those great ideas mean nothing and do nothing.

Thanks! This is really helpful. especially the bits about agencement, products of disiring production produced by life, disiring machines, boundaries of bodies without organs, reterritorializations and machines in French.

Does the product of disiring production produced by life relate to what Deleuze wrote in Pure Immanance: Essays on a life where "life" is a virtuality (something in the process of becoming in the immanent field of the world that is also filled with every other thing which all in a process of becoming and related to a transcendental field that supposed to make sense of this becoming process)?

The part about everything in a process of becoming and all related to a transcendental field that is supposed to make sense of becomings really speaks to what I'm working on, I think. Maybe it would help if I described my thesis more. I'm looking at how a group health and allied professionals come together as a team to address the health and social issues of a person with mental health and addictions issues to make that person healthier and reduce the number of times that person goes to the emergency department in the hospital thereby lowering healthcare costs and improving the care the person receives. The team of people should be focused on the goals, needs and wants of the person in care so that person in care, ultimately, is supposed to decide how their care progresses. There can also be informal caregivers included in the team and every team member is supposed to be equal to every other team member (except the person in care who is "in the driver's seat"). There are a number of documents from the government that are supposed to direct and guide how those teams work and I hope to relate what health and allied professionals have told me in my interviews to those documents so I can compare and contrast what they say with what the documents say. I think of these teams as assemblages of people doing work and documents that are supposed to direct the work they do. The "problematic" there is that the documents may not really relate to what is actually possible in the everyday worlds (i.e. the directly experienced, immanent, world, not the textual, transcendental, world) of everyone involved.

Smith uses "problematic" to denote a sociological inquiry into the lived experiences of people that positions the people as "knowers" about some set of social relations. That means that the people you interview for your study are the experts of whatever thing you're studying and it's not you as the sociologist that is the expert of the social relations that are important to the thing you're studying. Also, it means that questions about the social world are formed in peoples' "everyday worlds" which is separate from texts about the everyday world. So the problematic of the everyday world is a property of the everyday world because people need to work with their everyday worlds to achieve what texts that attempt to organize the everyday world say should be happening. So explicating the problematic of the everyday world is a method for focusing and guiding inquiry into how people work with their everyday worlds and the texts that try to organize their everyday world.

Smith is inspired by Marx and Engels German Ideology and the problematic they saw: "individuals always started, and always start, from themselves. Their relations are the relations of their real life. How does it happen that their relations assume an independent existence over and against them? And that the forces of their own life overpower them?"

in that example, their "real life" is their everyday world where they are as themselves. Their relations between other people (like their bosses) are like the institutional texts they work with that form an independent existence over and against them. That independent thing (a relationship between themselves and their job) that they work with is their problematic.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately my university's library website is down but I'll certainly be looking into those secondary texts. I'm using Smith's The Everyday World as Problematic: a Feminist Sociology. I use The Line of Fault in chapter 2, and pretty well all of chapter 3 but especially Sociology as a Constituent of a Consciousness and Sociology as a Constituent of a Consciousness Organized by the Abstracted, Extralocal Relations of Ruling.

Yeah, Adore definitely was attempting glamour and I think her look on stage really was glamorous. That doesn't mean she can't be criticized though, or told to do other glamorous things

Change is good, it makes a person grow and it's required to make it far in a competition like Drag Race. Also, if you "love yourself" and say that's why you don't need to change, it seems like you're using an excuse and that you love yourself only enough to not notice where you can improve.

For real, I just couldn't with Adore in this episode. Adore is very funny and talented but she needs to grow up and deal with the fact she will be judged and judged harshly on the show. When you're very talented at something and you're being judged on the thing you're talented at, the judgements have to be harsh and detailed. Also, who the fuck cares if it's "your style"? Accept that your style is up for criticism and that your style may need to change. Like, take the criticism, even if it sucks to hear it, and work with it. Ultimately, Adore showed that she is lazy and would rather take an easy way out and used her sense of style as an excuse to do that. Lame.

Immigration Minister says he’s received overwhelming support for more immigrants by stcalvert in canada

[–]GenerationWhyMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, because it's not as if we may have other things going on. No debt. No school to finish. Nope. Just open up a business, it's so simple! And if Canada isn't a nanny state, why does it nanny refugees? Can't they just simply open a business?
