  • "Until the end of time / I'll truly adore you..." -Prince.

  • Chicken? That's basically health food.

  • That's a great definition of science! Look at something in the world and take it way too seriously.

  • That's very interesting... because in these memes, anything can be absurd except for the Saddam-9/11 link; in this way they tacitly propagate the lie that Saddam was connected to 9/11.

    Over the past 24 hours I've seen memes about the absurdity of saying that immigrants are eating pets in Ohio. But if conservatives wanted to counteract that, they'd adopt the Saddam-9/11-meme approach: propagate memes that similarly involve absurdities but that tacitly assume that immigrants do eat pets in Ohio.

    Maybe I'm thinking too much like a scientist. There's probably already a principle something like: To spread a harmful lie, hide it in a harmless lie.

    (edit: I don't mean this as a criticism of you in particular, @fossilesque@mander.xyz ; on the contrary thank you for keeping us all up-to-date on the latest memes.)

  • so... I'm familiar with the meme, but connecting Saddam with 9/11 was a conservative take used to rush us into an unnecessary war, so... the intent of these memes is a little hard to interpret.

  • "Thoughts?"

  • That's a great idea, I'ma try that from now on.

  • A lot of times the problem I had was that I didn't sufficiently understand something from a week or two ago. So to clear up my confusion, the teacher would have had to stop the class and let me work through a couple examples of previous work till I understood it. (yes I'd study between classes too.)

  • Is this how mermaids are conceived?

  • Froakie is unable to battle!

  • The last couple journals I published in let you put the post-print PDF on your web page after an "embargo period". I've never personally seen a journal forbid you from submitting articles whose preprints had been posted in sites like arxiv.org.

    But I think scientific publishing isn't "weird", more like "predatory", "exploitative", or at least "antiquated."

  • You may be thinking of 'Pataphysics:

    the science of that which is superinduced upon metaphysics, whether within or beyond the latter's limitations, extending as far beyond metaphysics as the latter extends beyond physics

  • Surrealism is always antifascist.

    I dunno. Doublethink is pretty surreal, but it supports fascism. If you're just talking about art, I think you could make the case that the Italian Futurists were at least Surrealist-adjacent, and some of them supported fascism.

  • You're the perfect audience for their paper. Let them know what parts weren't clear or convincing. There's always something.

  • Proof that the Akira slide is not learned, but a skill from birth.

  • Yeah if you read the rest of that section, Wilhelm was hoping the Nazis would restore one of his family as Kaiser, but Hitler blamed him for losing WW1.
