maybe it's just the people I know/the circles I travel in but all the polyamorous people I've ever come into contact with were self-absorbed assholes/never saw any "open" relationship that lasted more than a few months and/or didn't end with someone feeling deeply resentful/mistreated

You know, I haven't seen/heard ANY '20th anniversary of No Need to Argue' pieces anywhere this year, and I have to assume that was entirely intentional.

The problem lately has been that ISIS was not fighting Assad, but opportunistically rolling up territory in Iraq instead, where the Iraqi army presented quite a bit less resistance than Assad's army did. Consequently, the price for giving ISIS a free rein was to risk letting them conquer a shockingly weak Iraq and control its massive oil reserves. Which could stimulate Iran to come in and make a grab for Iraq, too.

Take the oil out of the equation and we could let them play grabass all they want, without a second thought. But the world economy still runs on oil, so we can't play "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" there.

What about people who say: "I don't own a television, because I always watch tv programs on my computer, or occasionally my phone, so there's no real point in my owing yet another screen, unless it's so I can say I own a television, so as to avoid annoying all you thin-skinned folks who find this mere fact of my television non-ownership irritating."

my talent for feeding straight lines to others is unsurpassed today

And they have the nerve to call you "Aimless"...

dunno why she didn't just go the (plausible) "trying to subvert white supremacy in the name of art" route though that would've possibly gone down better to a song with less basic lyrics

haha is there literally anything Nicki does that isn't subverting something? like does she wake up in the morning and subvert her bowl of cereal?

[...]
sometimes i just think the thing that's so corrosive and terrible about ~thinkpieces~, & which makes tilding them mandatory, & which separates them from a history of writing responsive to culture, is just the fucking tone, man, like jesus christ does everybody have to sound so annoying, & like they were just about to surfboard in & do the same thing but better were it not for the inadequate example at hand usurping them so shittily. like if somebody could write from a slightly less oppositional angle than the arbiter of all amateur culture, dispatching their joaquin-phoenix-in-gladiator-thumbs-down verdict, positing every shortcoming as a stupid oversight & subject to simple correction - It's bullshit; It's shitty journalism - i feel like it would be easier to deal with them. there's such value to reading something & feeling it instantly broaden your parameters or awareness of what somebody was saying or wasn't, whether their priorities were shortsighted or subject to biases. but Let Me Tell You Why Serial Is Doing It Wrong is so hard to take i think.

truth bomb imo

I feel like there's been a building backlash against that sort of internet commentary, which I see as a positive development, like a lot of people seem to simultaneously be saying "ugh, I can't take this anymore"

i'm just about ready to do a 180 on the issue and really start pushing privtalk hard

"Ugh, so tired of all these *growing backlash against thinkpieces* articles"

oh is this the current excelsior thread? maybe that should have gone on whichever 'trenchant' is active, ah fuck it

lol

oh you were trench-ing that?

damn
