If you really believe this, then let it go. Continuing to belabor your right to have your “mindless enjoyment” is dominating the conversation of those who want to engage with fiction in different ways.
To @Elusis and @Marilove, (and others) I offer a different version of Let It Go.
Oh wow. Seriously? You’re the one who brought up your “female friends”. No, this is not 3rd grade. That was my point. The irony in all of your comments is astounding. Lack of self-awareness, much?
Do you ever leave Reddit and Twitter and talk to people in the real world?
That begs the question:
What is this, third grade?
Christ. I am commenting on the internet, JUST LIKE YOU! I must not have a life at all! Just like you? And talk about an ad hominem attack. You’re making yourself look like a damn fool. It’s pretty entertaining.
(Actually, most of you all would probably like me in real life just fine. I’m pretty chill and I’ve done some really cool shit (and some not so cool shit, like most people). And, you know, I’ve personally pissed off John McCain and nearly got arrested for it during my involvement with repealing DADT. Yes, I’m bragging. My life is pretty fucking great. I have personally pissed off John McCain. I don’t really need your approval. That is approval enough of how bad ass I am, quite frankly! What have YOU done that’s so awesome and cool that makes you such an utter delight “in the real world”?)
BTW, I don’t reddit. I only occasionally Tweet but I find that it all moves too fast for my tastes.
ETA: I hang out in bbs.boingboing WAY more than I do anywhere else.
I don’t think I can never top that moment and I am perfectly okay with that.
Actually… that time I saw Dave Chappelle live, third row, right when he was becoming known/popular, comes pretty damn close.
ETA, ohhhh, @Jehovazilla said “women”, as if I don’t know any women. I totally missed that! No, I’m not a chill girl who has no female friends. I have an identical twin sister who loves Jesus (I’m an atheist), for Pete’s sake (and two other sisters, as well as a few ex-girlfriends), along with plenty of female and male friends. I used to date a Republican lady and her hubby (that was weird lol).
Again, the question that begs: Are you in third grade?
Btw, I don’t question that you know women. I’m sure you do. That doesn’t mean you understand what women experience. Like, at all.
…sometimes I wonder how the political scene would look if McCain was in the next fighter during that USS Forrestal mishap, and the other pilot survived instead…
Some braggings are well-deserved. This is in such class.
I also worked on Paul Penzone’s campaigned in 2012 in an attempt to kick out Sheriff Joe Racist Asshole of Maricopa County, AZ, and we failed and I cried and cried (and cried some more), but I did walk away with THIS:
Sorry, @Jehovazilla, I’ve done some cool shit. Have you done some cool shit? This is no snark, I’d really like to know.
What cool political awesomeness have y’all BoingBoingers done? If someone wants to make a new thread about cool political shit we’ve all done, I’d be down. I’m probably not the best person to make a new thread, to be honest.
This may have something to do the topic at hand. Though we could create a thread on how to create great works of art without making the opposing side as dull and flat as possible.
