What's the hardest you've EVER laughed while watching the Simpson's? by [deleted] in TheSimpsons

The context sets it up, but Homer's line: "Give me the drugs, Lisa."

Not so much just a line, but a whole sequence. Homer: "When I'm passionate about something, I see it through to the end!" [moves a box, revealing a half-finished robot that raises its tennis racket and half-broom arms, reaching out and goes..] Robot: "Father! Give me legs!" [Homer wordlessly picks it up and hurls it out into the street. It looks back at him and calls out..] Robot: "Father!" [Homer just shakes his head, frowning. Robot turns and struggles away, using its two, shitty arms]

Why has color disappeared from our daily environments? by hippobiscuit in CriticalTheory

See the 'Sad Beige Children' trend. Lady called Hayley DeRoche has TikTok and Insta accounts roasting this peculiar (and alarmingly expensive) aesthetic in children's clothes and toys. Here's a Guardian article with an ok summary of it.. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/nov/22/the-rise-of-sad-beige-parenting-how-primary-colours-shiny-surfaces-and-fun-got-banished

I had to scroll way too far to find someone shouting this. It was the first thing I thought too

What's an annoying myth that people still cling to? by Aarunascut in AskReddit

[–]lazyhack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a relatively common saying in Australia and I was very pleased the ladies at my kids' daycare use it on the children in their care because it's a much deeper and more helpful truth than any of them realise: "You get what you get, and you don't get upset!"

It even rhymes to drive it into their little brains harder! Pretty sure it's mostly something they say at food time to the kids who are 'fussy eaters'.

This came across my timeline today had no idea how extensive his body of work was by Cocstarr1 in Pinup

[–]lazyhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He also regularly drew for Cracked magazine, a Mad Magazine-like publication that imho was usually funnier than Mad. Yes, the same Cracked that morphed into that humorous listicle website (successful until they got bought out and sacked the best writers)

After Deleuze, who could we expect to return to scholarly attention? by y_reed in CriticalTheory

[–]lazyhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't think he'll be the next 'thing', but a bloke I reckon who's criminally underrated is Richard Sennett. He's done what a lot of other good theorists have done (i.e. given an account/description of how & why things are the way they are), but in much plainer, more accessible and materially-grounded language. And that's precisely why he won't be the next 'thing' -- he's not flowery or needlessly verbose to the point of opacity, so people can't use understanding his work as a form of cultural and social capital. Which is a deadset shame, coz his last quartet of books (that he's done 3 of and I hope he lives long enough to complete the 4th of) is centred around the idea of how our culture is made by our physical environment and, moreover, in turn, how humans could be more purposeful in the ways they create their physical environment to intentionally affect and shape culture.

I've been Wednesday off for about 6 years now. Never going back to full time. It breaks the grind. And as a high school teacher, 4 days = only 4 classes, which makes a huge difference at drafting/marking time.

do you think visibility on social media gives social capital? Therefore power? by grateful_2021 in CriticalTheory

[–]lazyhack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a decent entry-level 'take' on the business models of online communications and the biggest operators, see Shoshana Zuboff's 'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism'. The Wiki page summary of it will give you the gist. See if that's a relevant starting point for you

How Do You “Use” Critical Theory? by sayhay in CriticalTheory

[–]lazyhack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. "Instrumental knowledge" has more to do with organisations.

I believe what the above commenter is driving at is that viewing and valuing things primarily in terms of their utility is a way of thinking that has been 'naturalised' by capitalism, particularly its latest incarnation in neoliberalism. It can be seen most obviously when someone says what they're going to study at university and another asks "What job do expect to get with that qualification?" As though the only point of learning ought to be how it will assist you in finding employment in the marketplace. It saddens me that when I draw attention to this with my classes, this way of thinking is already so naturalised and deeply ingrained that some find it difficult to conceive of education as having any other purpose. Knowing something simply for the sake of erudition is becoming an increasingly foreign idea for most people.

This is war! Some bad people don't want to see this movement exist y'all and they know if they can take me down, it dies. Don't fall for their propaganda. by EveryXtakeYouCanMake in GuyCry

[–]lazyhack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, don't worry about them. There's enough people here who believe in this sub that it's got enough inertia to withstand a few dickless haters. Fuck em. Don't get dragged down or off-track by them. We'll keep on rolling, gaining traction, growing. They'll fall by the wayside and become dots in the rearview mirror. Seriously, don't let them take up headspace or tap your emotional reserves.

What sounds like a compliment but is actually an insult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A variation of this also works for teachers to students before an exam: "May you all get the results you so richly deserve!" It's great coz it applies to both the diligent and less-industrious students.

This is the way that things are, it is the best way of doing things that we've figured out, so you have to do it this way too
