@aescling i think there are ways in which CA drama can be used as illustrative of certain ideas in theory or revolutionary thought or whatever, but the important thing is the focus yk? the focus should be on becoming better scholars and better revolutionaries, and our analysis should always be in service of that or else it is useless to us
@aescling the thing you learn when you have done it enough is that most of the important things have already been said. in that sense it doesn’t matter because you’re really not contributing to human knowledge at all; you’re restating the same things over and over without ever translating into action—except to the extent that you are honing your OWN knowledge and your OWN understanding by thinking out loud, of course
what DOES matter isn’t coming up with new analyses but connecting people to the analyses we have, things which work and are understood, and using that as a base for organizing. this very rarely comes in the shape of a take; takes are counterrevolutionary in the sense that they appear disconnected from a lineage of revolutionary thought and obstruct rather than facilitate deeper exploration and study
@aescling it also doesn't federate right?
@aescling no idea
masto is going through one today huh
unfair that i still have to use the microwave when dragons can just cook things in their mouths
if you are going to share a small fragment of writing devoid of any context, the only merits i can judge it on are technical
so pick a technically skillful piece of writing
amazon keeps trying to sell me on their serial fiction service by sharing small quotes from the stories but friends the quotes are bad?? it’s not working
@aescling depending on who you got it through and how you paid for it you might need money in your account
i play pokémon because i like raising cute creatures to be strong
the more gameplay there is for raising cute creatures to be strong, the more cumbersome things are for competitive players who just want to play with their desired teams
letting you farm experience candies with max raid battles or transfer egg moves by just putting two pokémon together in the nursery in SwSh is objectively good for competitive players but also takes all the fun out of gaining experience or pokémon breeding for me
those parts of the games went from challenges in their own right to just facilitatory mechanics in preparation for the challenge of battling
pokémon games will never be as good as no-frills battle simulators for competitive play and they should embrace that instead of trying to turn an RPG into a battle simulator but with more grinding
and also make actual battle simulators instead of trying to shut them down
honestly i don't like the QoL improvements in recent pokémon games
@alyssa honestly probably the greatest lesson i took from reading derrida in college was the importance of the concept of “worthy of critique”
derrida and the people around him (de man, etc) believed that studying critiques of a text was essential to exposing its meaning (because only in the critique of a critique are you analysing the interpretive process itself, i.e. how meaning is formed or not formed from text)
so critiques, through a kind of double negative, become a really positive force, and something you only really direct at things you really like and want to form meaning around

Instead, we argue
about what sources are most

song to play instead when your relatives ask you to put on Hamilton for the holiday: https://truellform.bandcamp.com/track/doap-2020
@witchfynder_finder me reading bbc articles about the monarchy
@alyssa if it helps i’m pretty sure derrida only criticizes people he actually at least halfway agrees with
bigoted is when you try to justify your own personal aesthetic preferences as somehow morally superior or culturally enlightened or more civilized or more universal than other possible aesthetic preferences, fool
???????you ever just see a take
@aescling i discussed it in the final section of https://www.u2764.com/NFIC/2019-06-24/pride19/
