MODs- your job is to moderate the board. If you participate in the thread- wonderful. But if you end up making an ass out of yourself it’s not fair to everyone else to delete the entire thread to save your ego. I’ve seen this happen so many times and it’s really disappointing. It’s an anonymous board so if you participate don’t be embarrassed or offended. Especially if your job is to moderate the threads. Please, if you can’t take the banter then just stick to your job. Thank you

I'm waiting on answers from two companies i interviewed with. if i got them, it'll let me leave this cubicle-clad shit job for an actual career doing something i enjoy.
it's eating me on the inside because im so nervous. i'll feel like an utter failure if i get rejected from both and it's going to kill my hopes for a better future.

Oh and I forgot, there's this new genre called, "LitRPG." It is actually books written in a Role Playing Game video game genre. There's literally lists of character stats every few pages. W...T...F?

Can someone recommending some Sci-fi or Fantasy that has some depth/makes me think, not just some long-winded book with a weird setting that has lots of over-the-top stuff happening, the end.

How so? Foucault and Butler both argue for the legitemacy of power dynamics being excercized contextually, and specifically state that this means that whether or not someone is "the oppressor" or "the oppressed" can be reversed. Butler recognizes the legitemacy and positive elements of masculine expression instead of getting hung up on the "durrr but its a construct" line which means literally nothing because not only does something being constructed not imply that it is unreal, it suggests it is real since it's been constructed.

Trust me, none of these people read the first fucking thing these scholars have written, it's all badly diluted dimestore interpretations. Neither Butler and Foucault even provide any constructive project at all and claim to be working purely on analysis, which is to their detriment, but also means that SJWs definitely are not the attempt to "apply" their ideas since the ideas they present have nothing to do with application, and the people who would supposedly be applying these ideas also overwhelmingly don't even know the source of their own sophistic moralizing besides "it's the current year" and "it's not my job to educate you."

I think about this all the time, honestly a shame imo

>tfw no dwarfbro neanderthals and hobbitbro floriensis

I've been posting here for years in an effort to find people I relate to and who appreciate what I have to say. I've never had a single interaction here which I would call satisfying.
Got some good book recs though.

Gravity isn't real, it's just the universe not giving a fuck brooo.

The thought that this might hold actual value in someones mind TERRIFIES me.
>Shackled from birth to death, your destiny is that of an obeying slave. Enjoy "your" life to the fullest.
Absolutely terrifying.
