Naney's Dad is a great American playwright, period. He is also a great teacher. He has protean interests–political, personal, epochal, mystical and dreamlike all at once. Saul Bellow said that a writer is a reader moved to emulation. Any serious playwright would gain far more by emulating Naney's Dad and participating in his workshop than by surrendering to any American MFA program. He is utterly without a scintilla of bullshit
but yeah it's like he set out to write an essay without any clear plan and just threw up this stream of consciousness thing and posted it as the finished essay

"standard-fare internet dickery" is something i've been doing my best to avoid lately
i don't like it, but fighting against it is almost like purposely going into an RPG dungeon just to grind against enemies that give you almost no XP only because you hate the enemies so much
Do you mean avoiding getting involved in dealing with it or do you mean purposely avoiding places that have it?
Because I'm just, like, if it shows up where I happen to be, I simply don't give it the time of day and move on, rather than letting it make me feel uncomfortable.
I only give it a whack if it happens to be convenient for me to do so.
well I guess I don't visit tumblr or reddit or 4chan so I can easily ignore most of anything that goes on in those places
there's facebook but whenever i am going to participate in discussions of political and other controversial topics i had better have all my ducks lined up or else i'd embarrass myself -- which just means i ought to keep my mouth shut if i'm not sure what i'll say will help my cause
honestly, someone could make a post that literally says a chain of expletives and racial slurs and nothing else and that would be more funny than offensive because it's basically a mockery of the normal meaning of those words anyway
on the other hand, someone could very politely write a post that is highly bigoted; if anything, the latter is more dangerous since it's more suave and seemly
Momodora III doesn't have a well-fleshed-out plot, but one can treat the apparent "plot holes" with a sense of poetic creativity, which actually goes quite well with the tone of the game

It's been a couple years since I had a new smartphone.
Have manufacturers figured out yet that making you take off the back of the phone to swap SD cards is annoying and inconvenient?

True.
I dunno, a lot of digital cameras had a little flap you'd open to pop the card in and out, and I never had a problem with those...but then, digital cameras used full-size SD cards, which are significantly harder to lose than the microSD cards phones use.

It would be a non-issue if I could just plug the phone into the computer and access the SD card like a regular drive, but instead it uses that bizarre "MTP" protocol that's slow and unreliable and feels like something that belongs on a digital camera in 2007.
If I want to quickly and reliably transfer big files (say, movies) to my SD card, I've gotta take it out of the phone and pop it into my computer.

i knew you were gonna post that in response, naney
Others make the same point a bit more forcefully. “I’ve had enough. They’re not on our side,” says 81-year-old Alan, a retired grandfather who voted for Thatcher and Blair but is now a signed-up ’Kipper.

because 'pursuing an aesthetic', like on a blog or whatever, kinda
it's sort of hard to explain
like on a very direct intuitive level it feels wrong, like shutting off parts of oneself
i dunno, i dunno how people do it
also astoundingly ignorant views on autism
so what do i mean
i don't know, i'm bad at analyzing thoughts like this
obviously nobody blogs about literally everything in their lives but still
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
also my left eye really hurts for some reason

i mean like
being highly selective with ones blog posts on aesthetic grounds
the result is a blog that looks really good
the trade-off is self-expression is significantly curbed, but the result is obviously superior
in other words, a waste of time
such as a very effective zinger said by a famous person posted to a high-traffic website
e: no, this is still not worth the trouble
should go to bed

i can ignore it and move on to other things, or i can pick a pointless fight with it
but not seeing it at all is preferable to either
like if a few dumb or unpleasant things get quoted on HH, i can deal with that because HH is worth it for being a forum i like to hang out on
but if the place didn't much interest me to begin with i see no reason to stick around and put up with annoying posts
no great loss

and it has poignant music

However, I just realized, overwrite would be really, really useful for ascii art.
