my life is not affected at all by whether or not someone knows that the name of the monster in Frankenstein is actually not Frankenstein but is rather "Frankenstein's Monster".
I mean sure, point it out I guess, I don't think most people would actually be mad if you corrected them on it, but most people are going to forget, because it's not important to 95% of people.
also "knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein isn't the monster, wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster" etc.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

I get what you're saying but I can't understand why anyone would knowingly continue to call the Creature "Frankenstein" and then get all exasperated when people repeatedly say "actually Frankenstein was the scientist"
Like, if you know you're saying the wrong thing, what right do you have to get pissy with people for being pedantic about it?

because pedantry with no actual use behind it is annoying
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
The creature as a wronged being has every right to the name Frankenstein as his creator, Viktor does. And people in a family are designated as such by the carrying of a family name.
That's why it isn't "wrong." There are grounds for Frankenstein's name to be what it is.

Country music is all fucking posturing. It's purely a dick measuring contest at this point.
you can say this about any genre
like seriously, pick one.
Hip-hop? Well duh. Rock? Obviously. fucking Baroque? You betcha, Sarah Palin.
Have you listened to country music recently
You're seriously misreading Todd if you get that out of him.
He loves country music. That's a huge part of why it bugs him that those kinds of songs that you dislike are the only ones that get played on the radio nowadays.

I am speaking from personal experience with the genre. I was referring to modern country music, and while that kind of broad sweeping judgement on an era of a genre usually bugs me, in the past three years I have heard exactly two modern country songs I didn't dislike, and one of them was fucking Red Solo Cup.
In the Symposium, Aristophanes says that gay men make the best politicians, because they aren't worried about conceiving or building a family.
Weird as it was, Aristophanes had the best speech so far. Phaedrus is an amateur, Pausanias and Eryximachus are both somewhat irritating sophists, but Aristophanes is smarter than he seems to be.

It used to be really obvious, but they've remodeled enough that it's barely noticeable anymore
