Topic | I thought this was an interesting political discussion. |
Antifar 05/31/23 12:50:24 PM #143 | joe40001 posted... Idk, I want it to be overblown. It is possible, but every so often I'll hear some stories about a young kid coming home after a diversity class and asking something like "why can't I be friends with (their black friend)" because apparently the teacher like separated kids based on race and the kids didn't get the point, or research grants in math/sciences fields that are getting rejected for inadequate DEI statements, or just second hand stories from people I trust who are talking about dozens of people who talk to them in confidence about the chilling effects on their campuses.Even treating these now third-hand anecdotes of vague unease as an issue, it seems to me that the problem they pose is miniscule in comparison to the impact of state efforts to wipe entire subjects of study https://www.npr.org/2023/01/27/1151725129/florida-advanced-placement-african-american-studies-backlash Or censor professors https://reason.com/2023/03/15/a-florida-bill-to-censor-professors-just-got-even-worse/ https://www.npr.org/2023/03/18/1164530319/florida-professor-fired-racial-justice-woke https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/sep/14/black-us-teachers-critical-race-theory-silenced What happens when you treat politics as a test for your theoretical muscles is that you can end up fixated on the inner workings of some individual storm while unaware of the tidal wave of real effects on people. The media focus on these campus culture stories has not just overshadowed but abetted the legislative push by Republicans to remake the ideology of college institutions by any means necessary. --- Please don't be weird in my topics |

So often these "good faith discussions" take the form of rehashing long-settled topics. Dead and discredited ideas - climate change denial, bigotry, trickle-down economics - get propped up Weekend at Bernie's style in our discourse. That's not so we might sharpen our rhetorical blades against them, but to stifle our ability to move on to new subjects and make concrete progress on issues. Additionally, to people for whom politics is a matter of life and death (trans people, pregnant people, those at risk from climate change) and for those whom politics makes material difference in their lives - the working class - it becomes incredibly tiresome to see the matter treated as an intellectual exercise, where policy outcomes are rendered secondary to mental masturbation. --- Please don't be weird in my topics |

Antifar 05/31/23 8:16:36 AM #1 | https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/31/politics/chris-christie-2024/index.html Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie plans to announce his candidacy in the 2024 race on Tuesday, according to three sources familiar with his plans. Now, you may be wondering: who is the constituency for a guy with zero sugar versions of Trumps politics and temperament, who has already floundered against Trump in the past? Who would give the money required to launch an effort that is so obviously doomed, while at the same time offering no benefits if it succeeds? nd the answer is at least one multi-billionaire Mets owner: https://twitter.com/ChrisRyan603/status/1659296578157309957 I fucking hate remakes. --- Please don't be weird in my topics |

Topic | Games you don't understand their popularity |
Antifar 05/30/23 8:13:37 PM #63 | To speak in BotW's defense: I put 100+ hours into AC Odyssey; I've played through multiple Watch Dogs games. I respect and enjoy the Ubisoft formula. But those games rarely ask you to think for yourself. The next stop on a mission or sidequest is typically gonna be a blinking dot on your map or your hud. You go to it, you do the task you're told to do, you move on. AC offers very little that could be called a puzzle, and Watch Dogs is only a little better in that department. BotW respects players' ability to figure shit out. The clues are cryptic, and sometimes there might not be any clues at all. You're enticed to far corners not because there's an icon to tick off, but because it looks interesting, because it looks like something you haven't encountered before. I've seen people belittle the puzzle-solving element of the game by noting that the reward is often trivial, or the same as other puzzles. But the reward for solving a puzzle is sometimes the satisfaction of having solved a puzzle. The crossword puzzle doesn't give you rare loot, Wordle doesn't entice you with epic armor. You do them because figuring shit out is fun in its own right. --- Please don't be weird in my topics |
