Re: A Long Hot Summer begins (a dumpster fire chat)
Facebook has been depressing today. I have so many friends who are fucking idiots. If I see the phrase "All lives matter" once more...

Unfortunately, yes. I don't think these people are racist, just stupid.

Re: A Long Hot Summer begins (a dumpster fire chat)
The accreditation process has made the whole thing a joke. There are people who hate the state that can't even get into the mentorship program and start the journeyman process, so they turn to primitivism and minarchism just to participate somehow, even tho it's amateur.

I was gonna say you gotta work your way up thru the amateur ranks first. If you're lucky some cell might sign you to one of their semi-pro groups first If you show enough promise there's a few years in the farm cells before you might get a chance in the show that's where the real money is.

Re: A Long Hot Summer begins (a dumpster fire chat)
The fucking reserve clause screws all but the top anarchists. You're working your ass off blowing up banks in Turdville County, OH, and without your permission they can send you to Lickspittle, AR, gathering rocks for the star rioters. That's why they're losing more promising troublemakers to the Klan.revbob wrote: ↑04 Jun 2020, 6:37amI was gonna say you gotta work your way up thru the amateur ranks first.

Yeah either way, while well versed in theory, I don't think Flex has the arm strength to be a top notch rock or bottle thrower. But he's scrappy and has some of those intangibles that can't be measured with today's modern metrics. I think he needs more time in the amateur ranks so we can better judge what position would allow the best use of his stronger skills and perhaps develop some of his weaker ones that could certainly use some improvement.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑04 Jun 2020, 7:11amThe fucking reserve clause screws all but the top anarchists.

It was Bill Jamesovski who came up with the acronym TINSTAAAP—there is no such thing as an anarchist prospect. The flame-out rate is daunting. The kid who sabotages the school photo or flattens the local cop's tires may be hot shit in Shitkicker, WY, and may even wow the scouts, but you have no idea how they'll do against the Idaho national guard. Flex's support for DMB should be a red flag, which is why he was passed over by a lot of the big city groups.revbob wrote: ↑04 Jun 2020, 8:26amYeah either way, while well versed in theory, I don't think Flex has the arm strength to be a top notch rock or bottle thrower.

That's unfortunate. I thought "all lives matter" was an American phenomenon.Heston wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020, 9:51pmUnfortunately, yes. I don't think these people are racist, just stupid.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Conservative arseholery used to have a particular national character as late as 2015 but I'd say online had smoothed those distinctions away. Your traditional grey tory voter has been replaced by someone who loathes and wants to own snowflakes.revbob wrote: ↑04 Jun 2020, 1:10pmThat's so damn disappointing.Silent Majority wrote: ↑04 Jun 2020, 10:32amThe UK and Australian right are hoovering up any shit the modern American right are throwing out in the ether now.
