i love that it's feeling insecure about whether it's okay to eat lahpet that's finally exposed ∞ for the secret trump voter that he is

lol

what does this even mean? they're literally randomly stringed sentences based on nothing i've said

i never said anything about whether it's okay to eat or not eat lahpet

but anyone should eat whatever they want

i n f i n i t y (∞), Friday, 26 May 2017 18:03 (nine years ago)

∞ endorses cannibalism, clearly and obviously a trump voter

Cyborg Kickboxer (rushomancy), Friday, 26 May 2017 18:16 (nine years ago)

trump ran on a campaign that promised all americans the right to eat whatever they wanted, including humans, including babies

it's a fundamental american right

i n f i n i t y (∞), Friday, 26 May 2017 18:20 (nine years ago)

unsurprising he started the presidency with executive orders telling us exactly what to eat

Yeah, living in portland among the businesses attacked(that Kooks burrito joint was weekend-renting a taco truck across the street from my library) has been REAL fun this week

Bio-Digital Jezza (kingfish), Saturday, 27 May 2017 05:26 (nine years ago)

And it's made me want to linkspam Mark Fisher's essay everywhere

And reminded of the comment I heard a few years back that so much of social media now is white people accusing other white people of being white

Bio-Digital Jezza (kingfish), Saturday, 27 May 2017 05:29 (nine years ago)

which essay?

mh, Saturday, 27 May 2017 16:10 (nine years ago)

still more afraid of getting stabbed to death by a trump supporter on the train than i am of being accused of "cultural appropriation" by the portland left

Cyborg Kickboxer (rushomancy), Saturday, 27 May 2017 16:18 (nine years ago)

portland is goofy. i've seen that show.

scott seward, Saturday, 27 May 2017 16:35 (nine years ago)

i think you should know- goofy is black.

Cyborg Kickboxer (rushomancy), Saturday, 27 May 2017 17:58 (nine years ago)

MH this is the essay: Exiting the Vampire Castle

He wrote it back in late 2013 and got no end of shit for it, but was quite prescient in a lot of ways

Bio-Digital Jezza (kingfish), Saturday, 27 May 2017 20:00 (nine years ago)

leftists are morons who get worked up over trivial things while attempting to demonstrate their superiority... wow, i never knew

sleepingbag, Saturday, 27 May 2017 20:23 (nine years ago)

As opposed those who attempt to demonstrate their superiority by calling others morons?

A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 27 May 2017 20:26 (nine years ago)

ah yeah I was wondering which in particular you meant, some of his eulogies on the web addressed how the reaction was over the top

mh, Saturday, 27 May 2017 20:28 (nine years ago)

go protest a sandwich xp

sleepingbag, Saturday, 27 May 2017 20:30 (nine years ago)

imo debating over small points isn't getting worked up necessarily but not everyone is really capable of reasoning through something, coming up with their opinion on the matter, and then walking off understanding that their opinion isn't universal and might not be worth chastising others over

idk if labeling people who get cranked up instead of being reasonable as morons is an indicator you're capable of chill, either

mh, Saturday, 27 May 2017 20:32 (nine years ago)

hey sleepingbag I hope you have a really good sandwich sometime and maybe reconsider

mh, Saturday, 27 May 2017 20:33 (nine years ago)

trump ran on a campaign that promised all americans the right to eat whatever they wanted, including humans, including babies

American babies, preferably, foreign babies will be subject to a new import tax

I feel like dudes like Baylee's should outsource their counter arguments or stay silent because it's kind of a bad look to do this

mh, Thursday, 1 June 2017 05:53 (nine years ago)

Bayless

mh, Thursday, 1 June 2017 05:53 (nine years ago)

this is garbage and personal, but i'm really glad that this thread has turned into a more critical look at the relationship between food/race/gentrification/tortillas/foodtrucks/white portlandian girls/etc. though bayless in that article pulled the reverse racism card, which is a non-starter. i also think his reverence for mexican food has almost certainly helped mexican/mexican-american purveyors of such.

on a personal, unrelatable and unempathetic note i'd like to say in regard to this comment re me: "stop posting and go back into whatever lurker hole you crawled out of" fuck you dayo.

new york has been one hell of a place for food to trend, die, exist, be authentic, not be authentic. shit. i've sat in the basement of flushing malls watching pudgy white guys photograph DUMPLINGS!. so all that's there. and after this whole thread, what i don't get, is:

what's your beef?

lion in winter, Thursday, 1 June 2017 06:02 (nine years ago)

I will tell you the truth: I am not a person who looks at people through “race” eyes. I’d rather focus on the beauty that people all over the world are creating every day. Which means I’ve honestly never sat around wondering if I have gotten where I am because I’m white, wondering if I should feel angst-ridden guilt because I was born white. Honestly, what would that accomplish?

for the first time, Rick seems like a bigger asshole than his brother

El Tuomasbot (milo z), Thursday, 1 June 2017 06:07 (nine years ago)

^^^ it sometimes seems like, in lieu of an overlord editor that will rephrase statements like the above you all want a revolution carried out by people who won't slip on discursive ice.

what an asshole. i can't fucking believe when trump is president that rick bayless wishes he hadn't handicapped his success by determining he couldn't do what he wanted to do before he did it.

who is possibly served by criticizing him?

lion in winter, Thursday, 1 June 2017 06:34 (nine years ago)

usually when you corner someone and say hey: you're wrong, but there's no way out of your guilt because your wrongness predates my accusation than people have a problem. rb didn't do so bad for an old guy.

lion in winter, Thursday, 1 June 2017 06:38 (nine years ago)

"I don't see race" is pig ignorance.

-_- (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 1 June 2017 06:40 (nine years ago)

And the sheer lack of thought it must take to live to middle-age and never think about how your white race has advantaged you is pretty breathtaking

-_- (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 1 June 2017 06:43 (nine years ago)

Yeah I wrote that: "though bayless in that article pulled the reverse racism card"

I'm not saying it's good I'm saying the fight in small. Like this isn't by evidence a guy who trampled all over Mexico.

lion in winter, Thursday, 1 June 2017 06:47 (nine years ago)

All this is pointless. It's so easy to take on people whose responses are in good faith and wrong and determine them assholes or whatever. I'm interested when a guy like him does answer that question.

lion in winter, Thursday, 1 June 2017 06:50 (nine years ago)

Put differently: show me pre tv bayless defending cultural appropriation. I like the question now, I have very little time for the pile in that had already assumed its unanswerability.

lion in winter, Thursday, 1 June 2017 06:53 (nine years ago)

And the sheer lack of thought it must take to live to middle-age and never think about how your white race has advantaged you is pretty breathtaking

Reminds me of when I heard Jon Krakauer on the radio saying that before he decided to write a book about sexual assault, he hadn't thought about it as a big deal. Like it was bad and something that shouldn't happen, but he hadn't considered it different than other types of assault. Bayless is embarrassing himself pretty badly with this one.

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 1 June 2017 12:38 (nine years ago)

lol lion in winter you're a little shit is all.

shit. i've sat in the basement of flushing malls watching pudgy white guys photograph DUMPLINGS!!. so all that's there.

what are you trying to prove with this? why do you come back to to this thread when it's clear it's only giving you heartburn?

^^^ it sometimes seems like, in lieu of an overlord editor that will rephrase statements like the above you all want a revolution carried out by people who won't slip on discursive ice.

"I don't see race" and "it's never concerned me whether or not being white was an advantage" are a bit more than "slipping on discursive ice" - that's an entire fucking worldview.

El Tuomasbot (milo z), Thursday, 1 June 2017 20:59 (nine years ago)

El Tomboto, Thursday, 1 June 2017 21:14 (nine years ago)

It's possibly more that wite yanks are too far immersed in the wite yank gloop to sufficiently recognise the fairly unsubtle characteristics of other discrete wite cultures, possibly allied with a racially-indiscriminate yank trait of assuming the wider world is just so many milder flavours of yankism tbh.

Only possibly, mind. And I've not watched the video yet tbfttwy

D'mnuchin returns (darraghmac), Thursday, 1 June 2017 22:15 (nine years ago)

Who is lion in winter and why are they being such a dick?
