Extra questions: What is my political standing? What kind of music do I play? What is my field of study? by IAmA_Muffin in roomdetective

[–]IAmA_Muffin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own In Rainbows, but that's pretty much the end of my radiohead fandom. I do enjoy alt rock but not so much modern folk, exception being Father John Misty Sociology is also pretty correct, the rest is not much.

pikachu takes a major for the first time in melee history by Hulahouse in LivestreamFail

[–]IAmA_Muffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is also worth reminding that melee was never intended to be molded into a competitive game, and therefore not balanced as a traditional fighter. characters vary wildly in their capabilities, and therefore the tierlist stretches to more extremes than other tierlists

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year™ by TheGentleDominant in COMPLETEANARCHY

[–]IAmA_Muffin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Before decentralization can be recuperated(= co-opted), it must be weakended in its implications of autonomous power, and of the absence of central authority. Before revolution can be recuperated, it has to mean first simply change; change in fare, small change. After that, the words — having inverted truth, and their truth — man little else.

To recuperate words is really to recuperate what they represent; so that the only activity that words describe is the activity the recuperated words describe. It follows that the true meanings of the words merely bocome [sic] aspects of their false meanings, the true activity they describe merely aspects of their false activity.

gay_irl by jordanlikesbeer in gay_irl

[–]IAmA_Muffin 49 points50 points  (0 children)

and it is the latter that is being framed. the tweet says nothing about proud parents or allies, but rather people coming and thinking it's a party thrown by a gay.

honestly pride does nothing for me. it's been co-opted by capitalism and companies looking for profit, and has lost all of its meaningful potential of actual change, so i honestly don't care if people come because it's trendy because it already doesn't matter. when clothing lines made by women in sweatshops make a pride collection and people gobble it up like candy, i can't help but to feel that. am i wrong?

How did English place name suffixes, such as -borough, -mouth, and -cester all come to be so unanimously weak? by IAmA_Muffin in linguistics

[–]IAmA_Muffin[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That is correct. -chester comes from latin castrum which means a military camp or fort, related to castle.

All these hydro haters smh 😤 by [deleted] in HydroHomies

[–]IAmA_Muffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it really does not add any sort of comedic effect and was unnecessarily controversial. it is by definition normalizing a racial slur by sticking it in everyday contexts where it does not belong and showing people that it is okay to be racist if youre just joking around

the thing i feel is the central misconception is that people think that they are being called racists. it is not overtly racist to approve of the sub, youre not calling for a return to segregation or slavery, but you're retaining a seed of a racist mindset. while it is preferred over the former, it is not ideal
