Press F5
God I Love her
So.... she's not guilty?
she can't tell
If she was, we'd have heard about it already, no?
maybe
And would she care about telling people if she was guilty?
The truth is harassment. Haha, fuckin world we live in.
All you need to know is Lindsays farts smell like Roses and if I was younger man I'd fly to Canada to try and Marry her
so I think I might be biased
It would admit that her reputation was flasely accused
whoโs this Lindsey
My Waifu
cute. eat her ass.
It's a LONG story
I'd prefer you hear it from her own mouth
but the keywords are there
Short form version
Where would I find a group of *actual Nazis*
I feel like fucking with neo nazis for some reason.
I think it could be amusing.
Neonazis are wanna be nazis
no idea
I think legit Nazis are pretty good with their OPSEC these days. Good luck sneaking in some where to cause havoc
You know a porkchop is good, when it tastes like a really good, savory breakfast sausage
The Democrats are going to take a hit now

Bahahahaha
The Democrats are gonna take a fucking massive dip now
thats indefensible

I can see the red wave a coming
Not even from Republican turnout

I mean are any of use even sorta surprised

As a European thatโs making think but then I realise we are in America again so
I'm very happy to hear this
WELL SHIT
I think we all should be
this calls for a celebration can we get the champagne out now is that after the red waves arrival
OH YEAH
OH YEAH FUCKER
NOBODY WOULD DO IT IF IT WERENT TRUE
Oh yes they would
At this point the hit of an accusation is enough to get people in serious shit
"Because \*I* find it morally reprehensible, I can't possibly imagine someone who would falsely accuse someone of sexual harassment for political gains."
```The calendars do not disprove Dr. Blaseyโs allegations, Judge Kavanaughโs team acknowledged. He could have attended a party that he did not list. But his team will argue to the senators that the calendars provide no corroboration for her account of a small gathering at a house where he allegedly pinned her to a bed and tried to remove her clothing.
The calendar pages from June, July and August 1982, which were examined by The New York Times, show that Judge Kavanaugh was out of town much of the summer at the beach or away with his parents. When he was at home, the calendars list his basketball games, movie outings, football workouts and college interviews. A few parties are mentioned but include names of friends other than those identified by Dr. Blasey.
The challenge for senators trying to confirm or refute the accusation against Judge Kavanaugh is that Dr. Blasey has said she does not recall the specific date or location of the house where the alleged incident occurred. She has said she believes it was during the summer of 1982, and she remembers wearing a bathing suit with other clothing on top of it, suggesting the party might have taken place after a swim outing at a local country club.```
"it's possible I didn't list this one party, but my younger self listed basically fucking everything I did go to so"
"your call?"
that's what I'm getting out of this
I say give this guy the nomination. I mean, what other high school kid maintains a *fucking calendar??*
@Fitzydog anyone with a serious employment which requires a constant amount of order needs a serious calendar thatโs it
She does
@starrfoxx123 Serious employment. In high school. *Orderly.*
k
Well you never know
Ball is life
My theory is: If you need a calendar for stuff *outside* of work, you've got too much shit on your plate.
I've got like 1 thing on my calendar in my phone, and that's a doctors appointment next month.
sI'm just impressed he has calanders from that far back still
That too
@Fitzydog your also not a law student/lawyer/judge
Yeah, but he wasn't any of those in high school
calanders are useful for busy people. When I was going through my med board, my calander became my bible.
But its just odd because most just dispose of them the next year or two.
<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
holy shit
Dude Kavanaugh is going to hold a massive grudge against the Dema
Dems*
I bet you
He's too principled
He might, but I don't see him letting it get involved with the job
^
The Dems are fucking done
They can't win the midterms
People that say the calendars are fake evidence are brainlets
Yeah, a fucking Judge is going to commit perjury
Great call
hyper autism
lol A judge will commit purgery, but you know a nonsensical DR from nowhere would NEVER lie.
ofc not
believe ALL women
True
If they did, they would've talked about the allegation the moment they got it
and not waited two months
till' the 11th hour
Or Hillary who made millions while denying and destroying the alligations against her husband
or never talking about the woman that Bill Clinton raped
Women*
Girls*
I think the only one she semi-accepted in public was his aid.
Because she couldn't squelch it
did I ever tell you guys that my cousin met Stormy Daniels like a week ago
Why was your cousin at a strip club?
Bill is in his 70s now
no she was on a movie set (not a porno) and she happened to walk on stage
my uncle asked my cousin to snatch a pair of her panties (jokingly)
Have you seen Bill pre and post presidency? Same with Bush and Obama. The presidency ages you greatly
Trump oddly looks healthier now than when he was running
Imagine Trump by the end of it
Like he has less stress as President than he did before
nah I'd say he looks about the same
He used to be more crouched over all the time, and slower walking. Now he's always up straight and energetic and such. But he also lost most of the 'orange' he was known for.

@M4Gunner Well, maybe there will still be a market for garbageware for PewDiePie or whoever to screech at. Or maybe you could be the one to do the screeching! Just don't make jokes that are too edgy.
Eyyyy, here's some good news. https://www.dailywire.com/news/36217/flames-michael-moores-new-anti-trump-movie-joseph-curl
Did better than *Michael Moore in Trumpland,* though. That made only about $150,00 TOTAL if I understand correctly.
I haven't seen his latest nonsense since going to see that in a theater is as inviting as watching 2 hours of Democratic Party campaign commercials, but I wonder what about this film isn't totally redundant compared to Moore in Trumpland.
How does one argue against the absurdity of the intent fallacy
@Shurik As in, someone saying "you're wrong because you just want us to do this"?
Literature. Authorial intent
I think the intent fallacy is rather emotionally driven, so you could try to make the debate as objective as possible. Maybe go for something among the lines of "My intent is irrelevant to the discussion, and even if it was, you're best off addressing my points in order to foil my intent, instead of the other way around."
Like on one hand you have to give the devil his due and say yea the authors intent dosen't matter. On the other hand reading the back and forth between Asimov and Heinlein is something else. The amount of points and counter points they throw at each other with each consecutive book makes the books all that more meaningful
I don't want to break down the argument into the extreme and say when Shakespeare wrote gay he mentioned happy and not homosexual. But I feel like it's the kind of absurdity I would have to break down to.
Oh, in that case, I do like to know intent. I was thinking in a n argument between two people and one trying to discredit the other, not bringing an authority source into the matter.
I was specifically talking about interpretations of literature
Another good example would be the 2nd Amendment having Thomas Jefferson say that the right of the people to keep and bear arms should not be infringed (will source if needed). I'm all for intent as context.
Like the authors intent isn't the end all and be all of interpretation of a text. It should at least be an interpretertation of the text.
I prefer to look at execution over intent in terms of works of art, but intent is absolutely helpful in terms of theory or philosophy or what have you, because intent isn't just a goal in those cases, it's essential context.
Execution should be like 50-60% of the interpretation of the literature, the rest is context. Historical, literatrary.
Well, execution in terms of narrative, anyway. Intent is a lot more helpful for works of nonfiction.
Like when one reads something like the Gulag Archipelago. You can't say that the authors intent wasn't to destroy the idea of sociallism and communism.
Oh yeah, Alex (can't spell his name right in full) totally intended that. And I think the execution speaks for itself, but intent is good there, too.
As far as what I mean with execution being more important than intent with works of fiction, I mean bad works that may been cool in concept. Or, hey, maybe even good works that could be accidentally better than intended. There's tons of little foreboding details in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (a painting of a swamp in the protagonist's office and other foreboding details hinting at her fate) that many people debate were intended or just the result of others looking into it really deeply, but either way, those details enhance the movie. Something like a political message, however, is best to be investigated as much as possible, because a misinterpretation there could cause harm or confusion.
Like the perfect example of good concept, bad execution is Ready Player One. It tries to do social criticism using vr and videogames but utterly fails at it.
A book similar to it that actually makes it work is Snow Crash.
Haven't heard of Snow crash, but if it pulls off that idea well, I should check it out. Thanks!
Usually.
They are long thou
I'm always interested by works with a certain intent that end up backfiring, like how the Soviets screened The Grapes of Wrath to besmirch the US but ended up achieving the opposite effect since everyone there was amazed we even had cars here.
I've read 3, Snow Crash, The Cryptonomicon, and The SevenEves.
I still think snow crash is his best book of the 3
I'll check it out. A lot of his books are deep and with a shitton of research.
Thou I love his deconstruction of feminist thought in Cryptonomicon. Written in the late 90's
Before feminism became as toxic as fememism.
It's one of my favorite passages from all his books
It's not a memorable book, it's good but it'll never be a classic
I think it's too early to make that call. I think it stands the test of time but not Asimov or Heinlein.
Sorry to interrupt, but back on the topic of authorial intent, my conscience gets a bit troubled when I see an amazing film like, say *Come and See,* which is a Russian film about a young boy who tries to ride out WW2 and ends up fighting for the Motherland to protect his countrymen from the Nazis. The execution of that film is apolitical, but is it moral to like a film that may be indirectly promoting communism?
I don't even consider it cypunk.
I think snow crash is cypunk and is actually going to be a classic. Cryptonomicon not so much.
I think it's best classification is historical fiction. Cryptonomicon.
I would also add in SevenEves but that's because it's his most recent work.
Just because a film or piece of literature is made in a time period and promotes certian ideas doesn't make it any better or worse. One of my favorite things about Soviet films is how they still speak to the human condition dispute them being propoganda
The premise of 7eves is the boom blows up and the atmosphere is going to be in fire. How is humanity going to survive.
It's not bad. The problem of the book is it's first half is like The Martian on steroids, and the second half is unfinished.
I'm glad to hear someone else feels the same way; this is the movie I referred to, by the way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDq9fL--Avw
I'm reading Dostoyevsky slowly but surely in Russian.
It's super rough
Which one?
Crime and Punnishment is first up
Next is the Brothers, after that it'll probably be either notes from. Underground or the idiot
I think that's an exaggeration, but I'll see.
It may be bad Dostoyevsky. But it's still Dostoyevsky.
I've heard that most consider The Idiot his weakest, but that it's still very good. Although I haven't heard anything about Notes.
I'm only familair with C & P and Brothers, myself, and it's been too long.
It's also classic Russian literature.
That shit is always at minimum 500 pages
I'm much more familiar with Russian film than literature, myself, but I'd like to start. Have you read any Chekov?
Bits and pieces.
I've read cherry tree? Or is it cherry orchard
Good play.
I read a bit of Uncle Vanya, but life sidetracked me.
I've recently discovered Peter Hamilton.
And by God does he know how to write.
If you have the time to read check out Pandora's Star.

Wrote on my to-do list, thanks! I used to do a lot of reading, but I've gotten behind due to school. Recently I've started making reviews for games and films on HonestGamers and Letterboxd, respectively, and since learning more about each medium heightens my appreciation for the other, I'm hoping the same will prove true for books I need to read.
He's like a better Kim Stanley Robenson. Or maybe a sci-fi George R. R. Martin.
Try out audio books at 1.5 to 2.5x speed. They make reading a lot more accessible
Good idea! I'm a quick reader, but I need to multitask.
