Taciturn Tactician posted:Enjoy your "thou"s and "ye"s then I guess, but I'm not sure how much of a market there is for a book that doesn't allow you to tell what someone actually means when they use a word like "computer", "monitor", or "mouse". That's new words that have been invented, not new contradictory meanings for old words. I don't like losing useful words by meaning drifting- what word can I use if I want to indicate "this is exactly what happened without exaggeration?" Apparently I can't use "literally" any more. TheBigAristotle posted:I love the idea that alt-righters are convinced George Soros is this singular liberal shadowy billionaire, yet ignore the countless shadowy billionaires behind most political issues. It seems to me that the right-wing's mythical George Soros has reached Bruce Wayne's level of wealth. Sure, they're billionaires, but the amount of poo poo they supposedly can do is probably more than even the richest person on Earth could afford. Ranter posted:I thought religion and communism weren't really compatible. Only for historical reasons. There are plenty of Christian socialists. Maybe Christianity doesn't work with full Marxism since it's a materialist philosophy, but I've long thought setting up his philosophy in opposition to the church was Marx's biggest mistake.

you can take some ideas from a philosophy without adopting every single thing the author says. Bound to be a few duds in a 2,500 page + tome like Capital. Even really good philosophers can't knock it out of the park with every swing you know

I was actually surprised so many politicians came out to say anything nice about Castro. Given the current political climate, I expected thorough denouncement of his life or very tepid "He certainly is dead." at best.

They aren't new words, all of those were words before the tech version existed, although to be fair I don't know that anyone ever used "computer" to mean "one who computes" even if it was in the language.

I'm sure somebody's gone to his website before, but just to remind everyone what Kirschen thinks he's accomplishing:quote:We are passing the torch to the next generation. We are bringing Dry Bones, the lessons learned, and the techniques developed over more than four decades of cartooning to the youngsters who now face the challenge of continuity and survival. what techniques, I'm fairly sure Dry Bones has gotten worse over the years if anything

Hillary called Trump personally to concede and congratulate him on winning, and Trump himself was very gracious and complimentary about that call. Hillary is also not the one asking for the recount, and the people asking for the recount do not believe it will change the outcome of the election. But the facts have nothing to do with the truth and Garrison just really doesn't want to stop drawing Mean Ol' Hillary yet.

Garrison's just desperately grateful for anything that keeps him from confronting Trump's backpedaling.

It absolutely was used in that sense. For many years after the invention of electronic computing, it was cheaper and much more efficient to just get a team of mathematicians if you needed a lot of data processed, and they often were called "computers." My old-rear end X-ray crystallography professor would tell stories about the three young women computers he had working in his lab back in the day.

Kirschen appears to be suggesting intimidation as a means to push back against the boycott of Israel, which he seems to believe is anti-Semitic in nature. So does Kirschen just believe that people are no longer able to listen to reason? That their views are just being powered by hate? Does he have a reason to think otherwise? His madness is driving my own. E:. Also holy hell that stuff about Hamilton. Good on them. War Wizard fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Nov 29, 2016 |

Hillary doesn't have anything to lose, isn't paying for it, and probably got prodding from a lot of people to kind of sort of jump on the train. I feel like a lot of Hillary supporters want the recount. Plus it pissed off Trump and made him make an rear end of himself again so yeah.
