i srsly <3 the duchess.

<3 <3 <3

[starku]

without her

we wouldn't laugh whenever anyone said

'obviously i was joking'

[Zod]

the duchess has the best transhumanist rants

[starku]

the real joke for me was that she used to be one of the greats

one of the giants looming over sdn

an intelelctual and political leader wiht hard answers to tough questions



and not y'know a lunatic lashing out at a world that abused her

[adr-admin]

meh i still like her

[timmy]

Yeah, I should note no ill-will, but my view coincides with the one Stark just roadmapped; I started posting on TEO at a point where she was something of a dominant and influential force. To see a strong persona systematically destroyed by your own gradually maturing perceptions is always something of an invigorating experience. Two Cents!

[timmy]

what

Just for you I had to wade through the thread to find it, but here we go, fully contextualised:

It's an easy thing to say what others should do when it's their lives on the line and not our own. We may proudly state we'd walk into a near-certain deathtrap, nobly upholding our high-minded morals without hesitation, bravely sacrificing ourselves for a greater good, but until we actually face the moment, words are meaningless. The idea that anyone here is offended because these workers evacuated (after being told to do so by their government, no less) after risking their health and quite probably their lives is grotesque.

They volunteered to go into that nightmare, and now we are bothered because they decided that they can endure no more after enduring so much? Why not, we ask? They are probably dead anyway, so why shouldn't they finish the job? What have they got to lose, right?

The idea that traumatic experience is special to people in these situations is utterly moronic. We're all human beings. Did I say I would nobly uphold high-minded morals, you shitwit? No. I said I'd flog myself into it, overcoming terror and fear by imagining a six year old girl dying in a hospital bed of leukemia because I didn't. You're damned right, high minded shits frequently run like hell. Fathers and mothers, on the other hand, and people with parental instincts in general, however, have plenty of biological impulses that can be manipulated to do the right thing. I have been through plenty in my life and have some idea of my limits. Anguish is a better motivator than idealism, and I'm withdrawing from this thread because my hatred for your shitty little nattering is indescribable. INNOCENT PEOPLE WILL DIE if they don't go in. That isn't idealism, that's a little girl's body destroying her from the inside out. I HATE YOU.

[zhaktronz]

Hanah oh man that's fucking hilarious!

I HATE YOUNAND AM TAKING MY TOYS HOME!

[Aaron]

It's always funny to see people proudly proclaim "I would do it!"

Fight, flight or freeze doesn't work like that.

[Veef]

oh mang

clone army is graet because they can show up and smash a bunch of useless robots (who have tanks unlike teh clones)

never change painrack

[Phantasee]

Hey what's that thing where you're more likely to agree with someone on various unrelated issues because you actually agree with them on some other issue? Is it some kind of bias?

[Agent Bert Macklin]

Holy shit this is priceless.

Kanastrous: People obsessed with football may remember, just as people obsessed with badminton can probably tell you all about the great badminton players of 1911. So what? Will that save a life, create a product, open a field of science, lift a kilogram of anything to orbit, or achieve anything of the slightest practical value at all?

He's a set designer...

[adr-admin]

but it does create a product (football) and might save lives (lots of people talk to their coaches about shit and learn from them etc)......

[Aaron]

Sports medicine has contributed a fair amount as well.

[Civil War Man]

Just when you think the OWS thread couldn't get any worse...

Unresisting Berkley students being beaten by police = Occupy protesters are violent

So far SVPD and KS haven't weighed in on it, but I can see even them being critical of what the police did in the video.

[Zod]

has anyone mentioned rupert murdoch's rags are deliberately lying about ows protesters?

that should be good for laughs

So? It's still a shitload more productive and valuable than knowing fucking sports trivia.

[uraniun235]

alternately, he may even know he's not exactly a life-saver himself


doesn't mean he can't sling shit at sports knowers

[artemas]

rioting because you're so invested in a sport or team that any defeat is considered personal is weird as it is

rioting because your sports hero has been fired for covering up child rape?

maybe you should step back and reconsider your world view.

according to a female friend of mine who went to penn state, they're rather bad about dealing with anything sex related

female student gets attacked in dorms over the summer? wait until the start of fall semester to warn anyone about it instead of announcing it immediately so they could "reach more students"

and then act baffled when the students were outraged over taking so long

[Phantasee]

What about rioting when you're winning?

[starku]

all resistance is violent

so it's totally ok whatever the authorities do

a rich white person told me this

[adr-admin]

meh if i was going to riot i'd steal some motherfucking tanks first

pwned

then you're french
