That Guy James

Critics say it’s a “crane kick of comedy you’ll wax on about!”

My hottest music take is that OK Computer sounds like U2 went to art school.

Not to mention the role of the silk trade in laying the foundation for European imperialism and colonization in the coming centuries. This illuminates Spain’s place within that system. Having silk and producing garments/upholstery speaks to other nations, and to other people within Spain.

I’m mad, Andrew.

Like just off the top of my head, silk consumption speaks to trade relations/economics, social developments, class dynamics, where power lies, how power/money is displayed to others, Spain’s place within the economic milieu of the time (thus laying the foundation for their place in today’s milieu)

Barthes didn’t write entire books on fashion semiotics for some snide fuck to call research he doesn’t personally understand meaningless.

The development of fashion is, in fact, a worthwhile research endeavor as it can be revealing of the development of cultural production, hierarchical foundations, and even governmental development of a given society.

We use the grapefruit spoons we have for some reason.

Oh shit they’re doing Barry White now.

Which I mean. Isn’t NOT how I roll at the pancake house.

This pancake house is absolutely BUMPING “In Da Club”

Fuck yeah I hope everyone but the first 2,000,000 leaves and we can get back to calling posts skeets and fucking beans, like a proper site.

Yeah he’s been going batshit for at least a decade or 15 years now. I took an American Theater class and got sucked into a research hole after we read Glengarry Glen Ross and dude has straight up lost his mind. He writes weird conservative “think piece” books now that are incoherent as fuck.

I mean I knew it would be but fuck me, it hurts.

Children of Men is even more harrowing now than it was (sigh) 20 years ago.

“Bro stop standing on my testicles” and other conversations with cats.

Just racking a shotgun will probably make most people reconsider what they’re doing.

Wife was stalked/harassed by her ex. Took like 8 police reports over almost a year before anyone looked at anything and did something about it. Paper trail was nice, but if he’d decided to trip we had nothing. Gun safety course and some first aid courses? We would’ve felt a lot better a lot sooner.

That hit on Roenick was nasty I for real watch that at least a million times a year.

1. “Ether”

Anderson gives us a new term, related to but distinct from “emotional labor” and more useful in parsing what we might call the micropolitics of dating: She calls the work women do to interpret mystifying male cues “hermeneutic labor,” and she posits it as a form of “gendered exploitation in intimate relationships.” The guy dating my friend may have been too busy lawyering to confirm his plans with her, but meanwhile, Anderson might say, my friend was working two jobs: one to earn her living, the other as sole manager of an emotional entanglement that was also his. Heterofatalism is partly just burnout.

how can men get laid?

STOP BEING LIKE THIS how's that, this is extremely clear and specific, just don't be like this!

oh you wanted tips on how to get laid WITHOUT first acquiring any socio-emotional, introspective, or even sexual skills? hmm I can see why you go to the manosphere for that

Yes i would obviously and absolutely redesign the entire academic endeavour of undergraduate higher education to have humanities and social sciences be a disciplinary requirement of all majors, if i could, but let's start with the STEM and computer-toucher stuff

You don’t want to be where it’s 86° at 11:07pm???

I don’t know why they tried to make Ninja Gaiden a 3D thing. This thing’s the most fun I’ve had in a while. Or I’m just 43 and kids need to get the fuck up off my lawn.

And for the love of fuck, learn to clean your asscrack.

Sex is better in your 30s and 40s than whatever your smol little 26 year old brain can fathom, so spend your 20s developing a personality and rudimentary social skills and eventually it’s gonna be okay.

Personally, I believe that every het male should have at least one 2-5 year period of not getting any sexual attention as a character builder. The only “crisis” of not getting laid is usually a crisis of character anyway. Reflect and grow, motherfucker. Maybe then you’ll become fuckable.
