    We can do anything if we do it together.
    As someone who has to wake up at 8:30 AM to do their final presentation this week, I say "yes".

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    There is a huge difference between ritual violence and ritualized violence.

    Marjorie Liu Interview said:

    I read in another interview how you were talking about this pre-WWII China as being a setting that has fascinated you and influenced this story. I really like that idea because I feel like Chinese popular culture right now is constantly going back to that period. You know, 1920s Shanghai…

    It’s like that idyllic period before it all went to hell.

    Yeah. Because to me, the prime example has always been how men at that time would choose between wearing the cheongsam or wearing a suit to be “Western.” But after that period, it’s Mao suits; it’s Communism.

    Exactly.

    The West is this thing that’s capitalist and evil, so you wouldn’t do that anymore. So there’s this kind of question: “What would modern China look like today if the feelings of 1920s had continued on?”

    If there hadn’t been World War II…

    Yeah.

    It’s something I think about a lot because Shanghai of the 1920s was like the Paris of the East. There were artists, bohemians, business men. That was the place. And it’s really interesting because the influences of Asia still were really vast and unexpected. For example, there was this exhibit at the Boston Museum of Fine Art, at least a month ago, showing Asian influences within Western fashion and architecture and art and furniture design even. Little things like embroidery…
    Shit, I guess I have to read Monstress now.

    Rest of China, sure, but Shanghai was swinging. Although admittedly often in bad ways.

    Okay with the embargo on the new Star Wars lifted I'm gonna take a cue from one of my IRL friends and just sorta withdraw from the Internet entirely until I see it

    Not because of spoilers just because... idk I just really want to be able to form my own opinion on this one.

    the frustrating thing about metafiction is that i'm pretty sure barthes's Life-Story basically finished the whole thing but we keep writing it anyway

    it's cool, seriously, we can go back to writing books about gorilla people

    I’m halfway tempted to do this myself but I’m still not sure if I want to see it.

    I'm leaning towards "yes" right now.

    It's basically the ending of that episode of Clerks: The Animated Series then.

    I can get behind that.

    I need to know if the original ads are included. And if they add to the effect.
  • Imipolex GImipolex G
    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    they are indeed included
  • Obā-sanObā-san

    the ads are replaced with the original head on commercial, the whole thing is muted with The Rippingtons improvising over the whole thing

    Okay so, ritual violence and ritualized violence: which one is hurting a symbol and only a symbol and which one is you attacking another human being?

    Like, there's a thing in occult practice where you hurt a symbolic representation of a thing. And then there is violence that has become a ritual, like boxing or something.

    Which term applies to which?
