Somebody threaded Punkās Not Dead. Itās not that punk is dead. Itās that itās no longer allowed online. Like prayer in school or something. Anyone who says anything that might offend anyone anywhere is being āedgyā and can just be reported and silenced.
People deploy it like itāll never blow back and then dialogue sucks a little more for everyone. Which is great if youāre an authoritarian trying to minimize your own risk and any seditious dialogue. Itās like the universities full of people who live in a āsafe spaceā and never actually have to contend with being made to confront uncomfortable feelings and ideas. It has to be someone elseās Fault if they have those, and someone elseās to deal with. So, thereās no dialogue. Because thereās none that will offend no one anywhere. Thereās not even men approaching women in the physical world anymore. They donāt want to be sued or posted online or one swipe right out of three apps worth of gamified options. So weāre just corporately socially engineered camps of increasingly polarized idealogues willing to sacrifice one another to The Cause they say serves the people theyāre willing to trample. Because thatās whatās left when contentious dialogue is off the table. Thatās whatās left when peaceful resolution is against the Terms of Service and thereās someone to step in dictate the Appropriate Conclusions.
Then weāre left with people saying bullshit like āItās clear we just canāt reason or get along with Opposing Tribe! They donāt support The Cause and so donāt even care about The Issueā¢ā
like weāre not all crowding on to the same city busses, sharing the same spaces, joining where our purposes overlap, and diverging where they separate with collission being the rare exception in that flow. If that isnāt coexistence, I donāt know what is.
No, it all happens. Itās all possible. What works flourishes. But then people who want to say how it should go smash their iron thumbs into the flow of spontaneous order. Like cops who arrest people for feeding the homeless so the state can keep saying, āSeeee? If we didnāt take your money for this, no one would do it.ā Bullshit. Every solution not BANNED emerges of its own accord. When its allowed to.
So, oh yes, itās out there. The spirit of resistance is alive. The Bladerunners of the UK can tell you that. No, youāre just not allowed to hear about it. They donāt want us talking real shit. Thatās why posts like this donāt last.
Anyway, awesome skyline
I remember my first trip
If you want to approach a woman in real life I suggest the highly strategic tactic of saying āHi.ā
Remember to smile! You look better when you smile @Foreigner .
Well Iām not very good at a welcoming smile but I do have a pretty good evil grin.
That one works differently.
I found it depends on how the woman is dressed. Casual dressers respond more positively to causal introductions. That said, thereās nothing wrong with moving up in society. (I made a conscious decision long ago to remain low on societyās scale, even though all of Mrs. motaās class is high and mine is low.)
If the woman is clearly outta your league, I suggest the more formal āhello.ā Matched with an evil grin, this may astound her to the degree she actually responds in kind, and once sheās done that, all thatās left to do is reel her in.
Is that how itās done. @Foreigner married his childhood friend.
Mine farted loudly and her aerosol ass-biscuits flooded the room killing all butt me which is exactly when I knew she was the one for me.
That is a good sign. Initiating the classic ādutch ovenā is also a really good sign.
When they respond, āOh thatās a good oneā
True fact: I used to be a big slut.
Look at you now. Grew up to be a hash slut. I have to go pick up my trim buddy. Duty calls.
Me too bud, me tooā¦
Hey man got any hash? Iāll do despicable things.
Speaking of suckā¦
