GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL: Here I am, ready to donate millions of dollars to the worthy cause of disease research.

NIHILIST POSTMODERNIST FRENCHMAN: Everything is subjective! The body is just a text! You can feel better if you think hard enough!

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL: Oh, well I guess I'll just donate to anti-abortion groups.

    I am probably being too generous and assuming they're worried about science that saves lives, instead of just being worried Luce Irigay will stomp on their new iPhone.

    'Luce Irigaray stomping on technology made by SCIENCE' is actually a niche porn genre popular with the French postmodernist community

    stomping on new iphones is always fun though

    linux isn't actually that hard
  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey

    Android is Linux, at least to the extent that it uses the Linux kernel, but it doesn't have much in common with the GNU/Linux systems you usually use on PCs

    I'm sure you already knew that

    Postmodernism is weird. #understatement I'm sure
  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    also, clarification

    i do not endorse literally stomping on physical iphones

    metaphorically stomping on them, by bad-mouthing them, though, is fun and harmless

    That doesn't sound nearly as fun. Where's the shattered glass and cracked motherboards?
