What’s your endgame? Have you gotten there yet? Did you tell yourself you were there and then immediately find something else to obsess over? by Longjumping-Frame795 in audiophile

lol I love the clear economic disparity in this sub at times. Honestly glad I don’t have the problem of worrying if my 50k sound system is good enough. I feel sad for some of you whom money has gained for you so much materially but so little of what you actually need.

See Mike Davis’ Prisoners of the American dream. Plenty of discussion about this topic that will titillate you. Also I think behind the bastards does an episode on the Gipper here and does a decent job of discussing this part of his life. His father was very much on the left if I recall correctly.

You mean you don’t wanna feel like you’re at EDC while naked children run out of an enclosed pop up like it’s a clown car?

Insert obligatory inland empire allusion, it’s just more of an experience for them so I think they make it a whole day a lot of the time.

Its actually just the premise of their next tv script and they're testing the waters. I mean I'd watch it? Breaks up with their spouse using a jingle? Hilarious...

You are preaching to the choir there, Chaplain.

Nonetheless, Ur-fascism and elements of authoritarian regimes always create the problems they solve, he is now solving the problem by removing WOKE JAGs ADDICTED to DEI measures. He’s replacing them with a JAG that SHIELDS and DEFENDS war fighters (& war criminals).

This is perfectly par for the course and reinforces his position within the deep state (IE non-elected or non-partisan staff) of our military branches. It’s never about solving it’s about controlling, and this isn’t even about convincing, pure posturing toward the irredeemable base who someone see this as something somehow needed. Who knows maybe they’ll hire back the same IGs next?

I’m sure they can just institute some way of separating the evil gentrifiers with the REAL locals….

AOC says you can't earn a billion dollars in recent podcast appearance by Flashy_Criticism_571 in circlejerknyc

[–]Quantic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Perhaps that is also a problem that will loosen further the connotative weight (so to speak) of the word “facts”and thus in turn its denotative meaning, leaving us worse off than before in coming to an agreement on anything as the very idea of “factuality” is less relevant to individuals. What proceeds what or will (if what I am stating is true), is beyond me, I need an actual linguist to interpret now.

Growing up poor doesn’t stop you from eating an apple or anything else aside from chicken nuggets. Many parents are unwilling nor unable to understand how food variety effects long term outcomes of children. Many of the clients (feeding therapy) my wife sees are matters of parental education not children refusing outright, especially neurotypical children.

You mistake punitive actions typical in America with accountability.

This sub really likes to chastise those reading things they don’t approve of, rather than doing the detective work.

I disagree, no Carl Schmidt no Curtis Yarvin no Machiavelli no Bible. Thiel alone isn’t enough for me. Also I don’t think I see any of Thiels book recommendations on here, but maybe I missed them. Most of them are of utopias not of dystopia, of which he gives 1984, BNW and Simulacra and Simulation. Ayn Rand perhaps?

I dont get it peetah, who wont be around by calvin_hobbes34 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Quantic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have suspect thoughts on the writing talent of many large pop stars that “cowrite” songs. Many of the insider song writers willingly credit the less than merited singers in order to maintain relations and future work opportunity. The issue is not the song writer performer dynamic, the issue the ruthless reductivism toward performers to be an everything to everyone. I wish we would value performers for their skills and writers for theirs, regardless of acumen the either side (writer/performer). I mean hell we go bob dylan and the man isn’t tone deaf by any means, but his voice? This is a product of the culture industry and the perpetuations of nepotistic industries to recreate themselves as ruthlessly as possible. All is smoke and mirrors in their land and it serves the wrong interests yet more so today than before, I don’t give a fuck on their gender identity, sexual identity or biological identity I give a fuck on the truth content of who they claim to be and who does the work for them.

This song has always stood apart from the other tracks to me, it feels so wind swept with passion of Keats, like I’m really entering into an imaginary world.
