@OldM8 Almost, although I think Ayn Rand would rise back from the dead and smack you if you claimed her ideology was anarchist in nature somehow, she was goofy like that. -

@OldM8 Maybe, at this point I would genuinely not be too surprised if I had some kinda Truman show situation going, but that's neither here nor there.
I don't know what I "am" anymore, I'm me. I have Stirner-y learnings on some stuff, but I don't call myself an Egoist because I don't feel like it properly represents me, especially the stuff about property rights.
I just go with "civil libertarian" now because it basically fits, "bleeding heart libertarian" works too. -

@OldM8 Well, my logic on property; as well as my conclusion of Capitalism, while being intrinsically flawed, is the best thing we got; comes from the following "logic formula:"
:gib: "I want thing!"
:sadge: "I don't have thing..."
I have (effectively) three options to obtain thing:
:minecraft_pickaxe: Make thing
:blobcatburglar: Steal thing
:nook_money: Trade for thing
For those without the ability/resources for option 1, that leaves 2 & 3.
Property rights, therefore, are necessary to preserve peace and co-existence between people. If property rights aren't mutually understood to be respected, then option 2 is more likely to be picked because it's potentially the least amount of effort with the highest reward.
You could argue that isn't *necessarily* a natural right, you wouldn't exactly be wrong, but I think we're better off overall assuming it to be one.
I like what Stirner has to say about concepts like God, Nation, or Law being spooks, and I think he was right, but property to me is the keystone piece of the puzzle that keeps the rest together.
And I think I already am a combination of a bunch of ideas/philosophies, I find it more freeing and less self-limiting that way. -

@OldM8 Of course there are nuances, I think legislation being pushed by corops with connection to government is one of the biggest obstacles for people who otherwise *would* have the ability/resources to "Make thing."
I agree completely in regards to housing development, etc. People are obsessed with always having more, because that's the image of "success" they're pushed.
I think the "protestants work ethic," or "grindset," as it's been secularly rebranded does a lot of harm for people who might otherwise find joy and/or fulfillment out of personal enlightenment.
A lot of people want to pin that on Capitalism, but I think that stems more from a culture of excess and greed baked into modern society; which as long as we're talking about Rand still is something she specifically called out (that's that character of Peter Keating in The Fountainhead was supposed to represent, he got everything he wanted, but he was empty because he had no passion for it).
There's um... another writer who I think had a lot of good things to say about this too, but uh... I don't exactly endorse his *methods*... :tedk: -

@OldM8 I agree, although I do still kinda like the aesthetic of soviet architecture.
Sorry, cool is cool. :lenin: -

@MaleGoddess @morgthorak @torvalds I agree wholeheartedly. That's part of why I no longer consider myself a part of the modern "left" either.
A Lockheed Martin logo with a pride flag on it should be a universally agreed upon evil (especially if you're gay/trans/whatever). -

@torvalds @morgthorak > "card-carrying atheist"
Atheists get cards now? :wat:
Do Agnostics get cards too? Can I have one? :gib:
Anyway, I'm a Civil Libertarian and agree with about half of this (not the gun stuff of course, I want my AR-15 Vending Machines, damnit), and I find it's far more productive to find common ground with right-wingers then try (in vain) to make a reply post like this treating them like sub-humans.
A lot of them are anti-war, anti-corpo, anti-big pharma, etc., many of them are actually former liberals were disenfranchised from the left because of the post-Obama left going soft on those things, in their opinion, so they started gravitating toward the other side.
Others are just pro-free speech and feel like the modern left doesn't stand up for that properly anymore.
Talk with some of these guys and you might come to learn that.
Egg them on and dehumanize them (for agreeing with you, I might add), and you welcome the *warm* reaction that Poast has undoubtedly already given you. -

Time for today's episode of Indigo's record collecting chronicles.
This time I found a sealed 2020 re-issue of John Parish and PJ Harvey's 1996 album "Dance Hall at Louse Point."
Great album, very underrated in my opinion.
PJ Harvey is quoted in saying that it's the records she's most proud of the song writing on, and was always very disappointed that both fans and critics at the time passed it over as a side project.
It is the awkward middle child between "To Bring You My Love" and "Is This Desire?" which are fairly definitively considered her best work, but it's a very interesting art rock album, and I think it's worth the listen.

@matrix Roger Waters gets a pass on this because he's been principled in his Anti-War and Anti-Zionism views since the 70's, and for his unflinching support of Julian Assange.
They've been trying to smear him as an anti-Semite for decades for it.

@xianc78 I'd tell you I'm not a bot, but that's exactly what a bot would say, so I'll just leave that determination up to you.

@xianc78 In an abstract, yeah maybe; but in an immediate sense I don't know.
I always have been, and remain in, support of both; abortion rights because I believe the state has no right to dictate what an individual does with their body (and I don't consider a fetus a detached entity, I consider it part of the mother), and Trans rights for much the same reasons with the additional reasoning that I do believe that transgenderism is a real medical thing, and transitioning is the right thing for (most) trans people.
Now, both those perspectives come with an asterisk. I don't think abortion should be used as a method of birth control, I think it should be a last resort for situations like rape, incest, the life of the mother being in danger, or for mothers who are simply not ready for a child yet; and I think children transitioning too early could have drastic implications for them later on, the de-transitioner movement does exist for a reason.
I do see where you're coming from, pushing them as *THE* issue definitely serves those interests, but claiming they're both intrinsically linked to those interests seems somewhat like throwing the baby out with the bath water.
...Okay poor choice of words, but you get the idea. -

@coolboymew @BlinkRape @rhyse I remember that article, it was bad.
I actually used to follow Bob back in the day when I was younger and more cringe, and he had a very strange worldview.
He seemed to have a paradoxical hatred of so-called "geek culture" whilst embodying all the worst aspects of it, and seemed to have zero self-awareness.
His movie reviews themselves weren't even too bad if I remember correctly, if he just stuck to those and kept his mouth shut he may have been a semi-successful film critic, but instead he became a Lolcow. -

@BlinkRape @rhyse I've heard this argument before. I think I remember Moviebob saying almost exactly that in a video like 10 or so years ago. -

So today's Record Store Day, and for the first time since I first learned about it over a decade ago (with the exception of 2020 because of :coronachan: and one year where I was working on it) I don't think I'm going to bother going.
There's several shops in my area that still participate but it's just not what it used to be. There used to be free shit given out, sometimes free records, some places would have local bands playing, and it was niche enough that if you knew, you knew; maybe you found something exciting or new you weren't expecting, maybe you found nothing at all but had a nice experience regardless.
Now it's so dull, the last few years (again, with the exception of :coronachan1:) nobody seems to do any of the fun/event stuff anymore, it's just another day where everything is significantly more crowded than normal. Between the scalpers and the hipsters everything is picked through by the time casual vinyl collectors show up, and you end up leaving bored and depressed.
It used to be something I looked forward to for months, sometimes all year, but I just can't be fucked this year.
Maybe I've just gotten old.

@waltercool I don't know, I don't like that they're using "think of the children" as their justification to ban something, and it's working; it sets a bad precedent.
I'm pretty much fine with the death penalty for actual pedophilia, but drag performances, even when they're sexual in nature, shouldn't be anywhere in that same conversation, even if it is around children. -

@waltercool I mean, if it's explicitly sexual in nature and in a public setting (EG: Not a private environment, 18+ venue, etc..) then yeah, fair.
It just starts getting iffy when we get into semantics: What's "sexually explicit?" What's "Drag?" What parameters are we using, who is defining those parameters, and how literally would we apply them?
Plus I feel like that's a responsibility of the parents, not the government, but that's another topic.
I just worry that when they start doing this to drag they could just as easily start extending it to other stuff. -

@netdoll @zemichi @coolboymew I mean, fair; I would support a PC port because I'm against the idea of exclusives on principle. A ReMaster, sure, I could see fans people coughing up for that, but I think the idea of a remake that's still locked up in Playstation hardware jail would be a fools errand (same reason I don't care about the Demon's Souls remake, especially since they *didn't* re-add the cut giant's archstone, read: the only angle where a remake would have some purpose). -

@netdoll @zemichi @coolboymew
Bloodborne *remake*?
Is there demand for that?
Why would they remake a game that's not even ten years old, still looks/plays fine, is easy to obtain, and runs natively on current gen hardware?
I mean, I know the real answer is "Money," but what would be the point, why not commission Fromsoft to make a sequel or a new PS exclusive game or something?
