Urgh, this is what I hate about PD.com, it is the only site in existence where a perfectly good spam thread can be misused for high quality discussions.  I hate you all.

I think the most idiotic thing about the sjw which hunts going on right now is that the propoganda to fuel their hate is based off straw men created by their side.
Too many times have I seen someone post a picture about a sjw then to discover that it's actually someone from /pol/ strawmanning it up.

NEVER AGAIN THE BURNING TIMES, FUCKSTICK.

I'm stealing from my own tweet here, but we're nearing the point where Social Justice Warrior as a term is at "hipster" levels of oversaturation. Pretty soon the only people using it will be the ones who end every facebook post with "smh"

Can I quote you? I seriously need to quote you.

Yeah, it's an interesting pattern when people are willing to distort the truth in order to support their side. You get people taking a side based on their opinions, who exaggerate and turn people to their side based on their bullshit, and those people in turn exaggerate the generation before, and several generations in the entire movement is unrecognizable in its extremism, full of people running on sheer delusion and knowingly making up further bullshit in the name of their cause, all the while too devoid of self-awareness to realize that their own methods, used by others, fed into their own erroneous beliefs. Then somebody else, influenced by their bullshit, independently produces their own bullshit, which, in turn, influences the earlier influencers. I wonder how many repetitions of the cycle it takes for a single founding individual to become totally disconnected from reality.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

My reluctance to write this goddamn paper is resulting in some world-class procrastination that is totally unlike any level of procrastination I have heretofore experienced.

Time to go out into the world and get shit done. Maybe after some vigorous bicycle riding I will be ready to sit down and write this thing.

I'm, for once, not having that problem.  I'm at chapter 16/15000 words in the new book, and am taking a day off to decide where the story needs to go from here.

I am having absolutely the hardest time even getting started writing this fucking paper. I can't do it. I have to do it.

IT ISN'T EVEN A PAPER THAT MATTERS.

That's probably why I can't do it. It doesn't fucking matter.

Yep, that's what I need to do, alright. I need to churn out a bad first draft. Even a shitty outline of sorts.

That actually does sound about right.

Good job, Meunster. You made a useful contribution.
