Oh, it’s not the concern that’s funny, if they had that selfawareness it would be admirable. Instead, you have people pat themselves on the back for how aware they are every time they encounter a validating piece of propaganda they, of course, fall for. Big “I know a messiah when I see one, I’ve followed quite a few!” energy.

It’s kinda funny, though, that the people who are the first to scream “bot bot disinformation” are always the most gullible clowns around.

I’d sooner guess “ban evader”.

I believe “gnosticism” is the term, though I’ve heard them also called “dualistic” heresies.

Welcome to post-structuralism, enjoy the ennui. And the cognac.

I meant that the money donated isn’t that much, compared to the existing endowment. I think it was Adam Tooze’s argument, that IIRC Columbia could basically afford to lose most if not all donation streams and just fund itself from the stock market. And his interpretation as to why they reacted so violently is either fully ideological on behalf of the admin, or because Colombia is actually underperforming as asset management, a panicking reasserting of who runs the place, which is in a way also ideological.

It’s not unaware. It’s a policy that allows protest as an abstract idea, as long as nobody actually ever does it. It’s reminiscent of Zizeks visiting grandma joke.

From what I understand it’s not even that much money. The logic seems to be that the idea of democratic money management must be stomped out regardless of the cause it’s advocated for.

Nah, those were made by the Yokosuka arsenal.

Man, if only Germany didn’t gift them those subs…

I mean, there’s practically no way to avoid hearing about your elections, might as well make it slightly more bearable.

For example, you could note that “only human being to beat Trump in an election” is a really small sample size. It’s equally true to note that so far, Hillary is the only Democrat to lose to Trump in an election. The performance post-switch would indicate Trump is not a uniquely dangerous and persuasive candidate, but that his opposition was uniquely weak so far.

Yeah, but the move there is to sear the bun insides while making the patty.

And hold back sea level rise!

Nah, CoD2 switched to health regen and dumped the health bar before them. It was partially to adapt to the console gameplay pioneered by, IIRC, Bungee with Halo.

Also true.

Sure, but then you’re trusting the server not to just lie about the totals.

This. Otherwise op-eds get a free pass to launder opinions the paper wants to publish, but can’t.

Yeah, this just smells of “capital gains aren’t income”.
