How can I use a term as a slur, if it's also the term you use to describe yourself? Is there a different term that liberals would prefer I use to describe them? Democrat? Capitalist? Are you saying liberals can use the term liberals, but leftists shouldn't? I find the OP's point confusing.

Enforced or not someone this applies to simply won't be President, even if they get inaugurated, and people pretend they are President for a while. And the petson we're pretending is VP will actually be president. And he might eventually have a cause to point this out.

I think there's a lot of evidence of coordination between UK anti-trans political operatives and US ones, including Singal.

He hounded a bunch of UK trans people too, and plenty of them signed onto the petition to kick him off. I blocked him and then found he got through anyway (he deleted his Bluesky account and started another one to get past the first wave of blocks). So I had to block him again ...

Wait are you saying a fan artist changed the gender/race/ or style of a character they liked? Perish the thought. (They weren't trying to be an asshole about it were they?)

Come to think of it several of our friends were ethnomusicologists, maybe ethnomusicologists think about music theory differently from music majors, hmm ...

Oh is it literally called those 4 letters, rather than them standing for something? For me it was the original Urusei Yatsura and other Rumiko Takahasi stuff, so more than I gen ago Im afraid. Thanks.

I binged the anime this weekend and loved it. Someone said the Dandadan fandom on twitter was getting into lots of racism stuff. Do you folks know why? Are they taking Momo's tanned gyaru friend as blackface or something? I really dig the intro song too.

breemorton.bsky.social @breemorton.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Because he focused on pre-classical stuff, and I mostly on 20th century. There was no sense that 18th century European stuff was somehow best, much less all that really counts as music. He'd point to 14th century stuff, and Id point to industrial, and we'd both say jazz was too hard for us.

110

breemorton.bsky.social @breemorton.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Yeah, that makes sense. I only know bits and pieces of music theory, but every time I talked about it with my roommate we were very aware of their being lots and lots of history, and theory varying a lot from century to century and culture to culture.

breemorton.bsky.social @breemorton.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

I thought there were lots of Arabic and Indian and Chinese and African and Native American music theories before we even get to classical music, much less Jazz or more modern stuff. Do those just not count as music theory, or is the point that music theory education is often colonialist AF?

Different cultures have different takes on how many continents there are. Are N. and S. America one land mass or two? Do we get to count the Zealandia plate as a continent. How big of an Island/plate counts as a continent. Should we count each tectonic plate seperately?

Yup, that do seem to be how human concepts work!

But apparently that's not the modern Jewish way of understanding the relation between the council of elohim and the president of that council.

breemorton.bsky.social @breemorton.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Right! But suits our purposes is the key. Sometimes we do it by countries, or climes, or ecosystems, or continents, or even very local things like counties or townships. To my Pagan ass, the Divine is like that, and monotheism and polytheism are very much "suits our purposes" issues.

Well there's a literal line in some places, especially up near Patagonia, apparently it's a different story down by Antarctica. Even at the line there is some mixing. Is it two oceans tho? Depends a lot on exactly why you care this time. You can goose the answer either way, a lot.

100

breemorton.bsky.social @breemorton.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Is there one ocean, or several? Seven seas, or one vast salty tehom? Singular and plural are more ways of talking than absolute facts in a lot of cases. English even uses mass nouns to split the difference. But I don't have as much invested in monolatry or monotheism as lots of other folks.

breemorton.bsky.social @breemorton.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Well if it makes you feel better you can say that the presiding god and the council members are not-two (advaita), or you can call them aeons, or sephirot, or faces, or the names of God, or any of the many other term people have used to try to make this more palatable. Many faiths struggle here.

The drones are tools of an autonomous AI, and parts of the govt are still trying to get it back under control quietly before it goes full Skynet. Conspiracy theories are fun! If you keep grading you can have a little more conspiracy theory after dinner as a treat.

Habit? Regulation? To undermine the very distinction between lies and truth? Because you have so many different lies going that you've actually forgotten what the truth is? There are lots of reasons for liars to keep lying even when no one is buying it ...

I guess Battlefield Earth and Darkest Dungeons already fill those theological roles, and I haven't actually seen God is Not Dead so I could be giving it too much benefit of the doubt.

breemorton.bsky.social @breemorton.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Or God finds it to be the Sharknado of theology. The Plan 9 from Outer Space. The Santa Claus defeats the Martians. All evidence suggests God has a very dark sense of humor, and a deep love of beetles.

When I was trying to be a man, I had no idea what would make me feel happy or not. All dating was experiment. I don't really think men know how to date towards happiness and choose not to. I think they like women struggle to figure out how to be happy.

breemorton.bsky.social @breemorton.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

I always figured the reason there were so few (or no) women witchers in the books, was because most of the witchers were sold to the witcher orders as kids and girl children were more lucratively sold to other organizations, or sacrificed to the crones. That setting is dark.

There were plenty of Greek statues of transwomen too. Eunuchs garden harems later on, but played lots of roles in Greek and Middle Eastern cultures earlier, (including dream interpretation). Greeks made distinctions between many kinds of Eunuchs too.
