Rorus Raz posted:Varvel seems fairly against the law, so I saw that as typical worship of the free market. Still not convinced of that. If it helps any, here's his (I assume it's his) caption at Indy Star: "Governor Mike Pence felt the heat over RFRA, as the LGBT took advantage of Big Business' threats of leaving the state to force a change." e: beaten. If anything these seem like "a thing happened" but there's still something telling in the way he casts the characters (the cufflinks on Big Biz for instance, and apparently Pence is a tiny pointy eared woodland sprite for some reason)

Is that a legitimate concern in America? Are your wastewater treatment plants that bad? I've heard you can't drink tap water either. So what do you scrub your churches with? Thawed ice cubes imported from the arctic ocean? Usually I like Two Bull but this seems just kind of weird. I would understand it if he told me that he has a problem with artifical snow and teraforming in general. But complaining that this water was in the treatment cycle before, seems ridiculous. And of course keeping the water in the taps is cheaper than using it to make snow, but then they wouldn't have any snow. That's such a pointless statement. "Why do you keep using this elevator? Cutting off the power would be so much cheaper." I don't actually know why this cartoon annoys me such much. I guess I expected better.  But do native American groups actually share that exact concern? I can't imagine they would prefer caught rainwater or something like that either.

Air is lava! posted:I thought as much. But I've heard that some people are really afraid of it. Tap water i usually fine. Well, unless it's burning fracking water. It's always and reliably potable, but the flavor isn't great. There is a loving huge gap between the standards for potable water and the standards for reclaimed water. No, you wouldn't drink it, but it's not dirty by any reasonable definition, either. I would absolutely wash my church with it, if given the option. More reclaimed water should be available for stuff like that, it's harmless and it'd help disperse the stuff before it re-enters the water supply instead of just pouring out of the plant.

If presenting accurate information in a bland way with some profanity is "edgy," "crazy," or "offensive," to you, I repeat my advice to go outside more, maybe read a book. There's a reason why I post so many questions, if you get angry maybe it's because you don't like your own answers.Harlan Ellison posted:“If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you.” Rorus Raz posted:

Also, sarcastically and dismissively referring to a singular wedding as "the facebook event" doesn't require you to believe the website is called "the facebook".

there wolf posted:I really want to know what Pitchforks assault on white men is but, much like when the horror movie finally shows the creepy monster, I feel like whatever it is will be a great letdown from what I'm imagining in my head. Well, they're still poo poo about it, especially towards the end where it turns into the typical bitching about SJWs and Tumblrinas. There just happens to be a bit of truth under the usual bullshit. So don't give them a click and read my summary instead. Pitchfork writer Sarah Sahim wrote a piece that pillories Belle and Sebastian founder Stuart Murdoch for not being non-white. http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/710-the-unbearable-whiteness-of-indie/ quote:As a lover of Belle and Sebastian, I was disappointed, though certainly not surprised. Belle and Sebastian’s work is steeped in Whiteness; God Help the Girl merely underscores this. The film itself is an egregious mess that romanticizes a woman’s struggles with an eating disorder for the sake of Murdoch’s self-promotion. The optimistic, happy-go-lucky and painstakingly adorable aesthetic evidenced in every character he created is founded in Whiteness. Whiteness is beauty; Whiteness is what gives the character the ability to dream of fostering a career in music; Whiteness is what enables the audience to empathize with Eve’s character. A recurring filler in the film was a fictitious radio show where two men try to decipher what “real” indie is and every band mentioned is white, enforcing the film’s aspirational Whiteness. While Belle and Sebastian aren’t the only examples of perpetuating Whiteness through indie rock, this movie serves as a microcosmic view of what is wrought by racial exclusivity that is omnipresent in indie rock. http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2015/03/26/stuart-murdoch-responds-article-racism-indie-rock-aw-fck-off

pwn posted:In a stunning upset, Pitchfork was indeed being shits and Return of Kings is on the right side of something. I feel unclean. I think I'm on Pitchfork's side with this one. The inde scene is super white, especially the parts of it that approach more mainstream music scenes, and white people in general are granted more prestige and credibility than POCs in art, even when it's a type of art that originated in a POC culture. That being said, I find this particular piece messy and a bit redundant.The author was trying to make a case for how the inde scene reinforces it's own homogenous image by excluding POC representation and devaluing POC artists, but the result is a scatter-shot collection of grievances rather than a cohesive pattern of behavior. Even if the subject matter is laudable, it's just not a good article.
