Darth Walrus posted:That, at least, is perfectly explicable, forum user Ugly In The Morning. The question relates to names like "dark (x)" or "evil (y)" etc. They all appear to have a common origin, whatever that might be; adolescent attempts to quickly impress upon total strangers?

Ron Paul Atreides posted:Yeah gonna second needing the details, not because I doubt it but it's always useful to have more proof the Elites of society are human filth As an aside from the sources above, but almost all evidence is conveniently locked away behind official secret dossiers and threats of libel from the wealthiest, not to mention the global legal protection of the monarchy (and those associated). The aforementioned Jimmy Savile was good friends with all sorts of establishment figures (including former PM Maggie Thatcher), despite being one of the most horrific paedophiles who ever existed. EDIT: The most recent example of this sort of thing ([Buckingham] Palace [...] deny Prince Andrew underage sex claims) Chocolate Teapot has a new favorite as of 12:18 on Jan 27, 2015 |

Jack of Hearts posted:Who was the guy, I think maybe he was a game designer, who laid out his "philosophy" at great length in shameless, incompetent imitation of Nietzsche's writing style? It may not have been mentioned in this thread, but it was amazing. His real name is Alex K., (can't remember what the K stood for), but his username was usually icycalm and website was something like insomni.ac

Curvature of Earth posted:People who don't have philosophy or English degrees generally interpret "death of the author" to mean that the text means whatever you can contort it into meaning. This is what most people who've heard of death of the author take it to mean. There is no point in quibbling over the academic definition of the term when that's not how the wider populace understands it. Like most of postmodernism, it's been extremely poorly communicated to non-academics and has consequently been taken to mean that words have no meaning beyond what you personally want them to mean. Death of the author is a good thing because it can essentially rob authoritative figures of their supposed power, and for the reader to call out ugly language or ideologies for what they are trying to hide or obscure.

The dog dick fanfic does not ruin good forms of the concept, just like a few terrible pages on tumblr does not rule the whole site as a worthless element that old people hate on.

Nessus posted:Man, Thatcher sure did a grody on the UK's cultural landscape. There was still an overriding anti-establishment nature to all sorts of stuff right up until everything went about face following the whole 9/11 disaster, at which point everything had to be serious and supportive of government (which itself was a fetid continuation of Thatcher's poo poo). The mid-to-late 90s were really good for things like Cannon Fodder (a really funny and poignant satire of the military at the time), Red Dwarf, and even children's comics like The Beano or Sonic the Comic (written and drawn by 2000AD staff (Judge Dredd)) had subtle anti-establishment factors in them. In sharp contrast to the general bombast of American media (then and now), there was always a very mundane normality to these stories that went by the wayside when everything had to be packaged into neat boxes and made more quaint for "international" audiences. So basically what I mean is yes, she did.

GIANT OUIJA BOARD posted:Now post the follow up one about how the guy ranting about nerds is just a spiteful rear end in a top hat. Because that's kind of important too. The last page is the non-ghost guy angry with the ghost because he smashed his tablet, it's ultimately just storyline stuff; it's irrelevant to the point

Munin posted:Talking about transhumanism, AI etc; does anyone have any idea who in the BBC news room it is who has a bee in their bonnet about AI? I've been seeing more and more articles about AI and automation on BBC News recently. It might also be a case of confirmation bias though... Probably the same execs who saw Second Life as a thing they should pump a bunch of money into back in the day.
