Victory!

I still have work to do, but the bones of my decorations are coming together. Edison bulbs Tube amp Fresh cut flowers and herbs A bowel of figs, basil, and orchids (not pictured) Modern Japanese tea pot Drapes All laundry and dry cleaning is done. I talked to my mother for 33 minutes. I wrote two letters. I’m fuckin’ house broken, and proud of it. [image] I dare you to ask me to name every flower I picked.

(Seems like lounge topics wouldn’t really be applicable since likes there don’t apply to badges and whatnot. Plus the whole “don’t talk about fight club” thing.)

[dave_b]

Okey dokey.

[Melizmatic]

@dave_b

Do we get extra points on this for tipping over comments actually on this thread?

Nope.

And I wasn’t aware that lounge posts don’t count; I could have sworn that I’ve gotten badges from lounge comments

Weird.

But if you’re looking for higher point bumps, I know that I personally have a few comments just shy of 25 and 50 likes.

I found a locked safe hidden at the back of a closet in my new house

Wait, maybe Godzilla is the size of me and those movies were actually about a tiny little Japan filled with tiny people and that’s the real tragedy here. It’s a commentary on how people of all sizes should be treated equally in culture. [image]

A beginner's guide to the Redpill Right

While they call themselves gender critical, they take positions that seem gender essentialist.

I think we call that “Socialist.” I do so as a complement. Others… not so much.

I don’t think you’ll find all that much agreement with this, as it relates to this story, or as a universal truth, around these parts.

The naked hypocrisy of Game Of Thrones’ nudity

That’s the crux of the matter, isn’t it? The show is very definitely depicting the objectification of women, but is it doing so to reinforce the sense of a grimly unjust and patriarchal world, or is it celebrating objectification as a desirable fantasy? i.e. is the viewer intended to feel comfortable or uncomfortable with the objectification? It’s an impossible question to resolve, because it’s so damn subjective. One feminist can look at a nude scene and see male gaze pandering, where anot…

Nope, men and women aren’t equally sexualized in comics

In other news…Female Thor is outselling the old Thor by 30 percent.

Nope, men and women aren’t equally sexualized in comics

Oh, no see… us wimmins should just shut up, sit down, and hope that some man comes along and validating us by finding us attractive as they find these half-clad female superheroes… it’s a blessing when a guy ogles us, you see, because that is the only way we have value in this world… duh!

Jazz and rock flutes are an abomination. The Hurdy-gurdy is pretty cool, but most practitioners are not unlike the bag of a bagpipe.

A beginner's guide to the Redpill Right

Basically what these guys are is a revival of mid 20th century fascism, but in our present time of crisis. I am not using fascist here as a term of abuse, but in the descriptive sense. They resurrect a lot of fascist ideas (anti-egalitarianism, racism, anti-liberalism/socialism/communism, anti-democracy, pro-capitalism, religiousity, reactionary traditionalism, etc.), but thanks to fascists starting the largest war in human history, this “Redpill Right” tends to be a bit more circumspect about u…

On the bright side, they didn’t shoot or beat him to a pulp, so… progress, right? anyone? (crickets, very angry crickets)

Armed domestic terrorists take over federal building, but it's OK, they're white

Well, to be fair, if they took over a mall like Black Lives, I’m sure the cops would at least ask them to leave. Politely, at a distance. You get a different response if you mess with almighty commerce (and a very different response if you’re not white, of course). I think this lack of reaction is because there’s a real effort to avoid replicating Waco or Ruby Ridge, in the same way, I was reading, that the IRS is basically not enforcing tax codes to avoid repeating the fallout from over-exam…

Good to see the #notallwhitepeople task force has been alerted to this post.

For a simple 250. Now I need to get back to work.

I haven’t found a way to hunt out 9 / 24 / 49 point posts for a user … but if I had, I was looking to bump all of yours for reasons.

Damn you’re straight killin’ it, up in here.

I have come here to chew bubblegun and spread LIKES. And I’m all out of Bubble Gum

[OtherMichael]

I’ve been stocking up, if you want some, chum.

[anon26304152]

If anyone should be out of bubble gum, I’d think it would be you.

Or can you chew gum and like at the same time?

I prefer the Harpo Marxists, if only because they don't talk your ear off about political ideology.

HONK!

Perhaps he was confused by this bearded guy popping up in BB on a relatively regular basis: [image] I don't recall seeing Marx impersonator on his resume (just writer, wizard, mall santa, rasputin impersonator)

I mostly just want to be notoriously hard to kill.

Remember the good old days when opium was the opiate of the masses? Now we have to settle for these chemicals our own bodies produce in response to self-stimulation? Ugh.

Oh man, I’ve been doing this for a few weeks on my own… sorry to be a spoiler. I’ll stop now. It is @Melizmatic’s fault though, she gave me the idea in one of the Great Like Wars threads on how do you use likes.

[Melizmatic]

Oh man, I’ve been doing this for a few weeks on my own.

Actually, I got the idea initially when you first asked How Do You Like Your Likes?

And many people replied they that enjoy ‘tipping comments over’ to 10, 25 & 50…

But I didn’t decide to implement my idea until after the all the annoying melodrama had happened.
