    are you getting it delivered from an organic delivery guy that rides a shade grown fixie that was made in amaerica

    I'm no expert on the lingo, but would that be a free range delivery guy?

    you would think

    but that would be a meat product

    hipsters are vegan

    i feel like that is mostly true of the west coast hipster genus

    say hipstus portlandica

    the east coast gena, like hipstus williamsbergia or hipstus somervillia are grass-fed free-range farmers-market omnivores

    I don't know if this is still a thing but when I was younger a lot of my internet friends in New York, people who would be called hipsters now but who back then were just "art guys" or "theater guys" or whatever, were kind of aggressively contrarian about stuff like this?

    like they were culturally-savvy New York dudes who were politically liberal and did off-off-Broadway avant-garde theater but they called themselves "libertarian" or "independent" because they chain-smoked and ate steaks

    yeah i think you are basically right

    i think that sort of the art/ lit/ post-punk/ intellectual east coast subculture you saw in cambridge and brooklyn and so forth kind of got rolled into the "hipster" classification and only eventually started to conform to the same sorts of things that characterized the west coasties. i don't think that veganism or fixies or flannel were ever so much a thing on this coast.

    i mean eventually there has been enough migration that there is a lot of overlap now, but i think they kind of came from distinct subcultures.

    Because I've been told that Labor Theory is pretty shit wrong, but it wasn't sufficiently explained to me why.

    Oh that one is easy! We don't even need to batsignal econodog.

    But I will use him as an example.

    Consider how much time you spend making posts on the forums. Consider the example of a lawyer who writes briefs. Let's say Lawyerdog spends as much time writing briefs for clients as Econodog spends making posts.

    For the sake of argument, let's also say that Econodog and Lawyerdog have the same amount of schooling. Probably a bad example for Econodog, but we do have real lawyers and other postgraduate professionals on the forums, so it's not hard to imagine.

    Does an Econodog post have the same value as a Lawyerdog legal brief, assuming they spent the same amount of time writing them?

    No, of course not, that would be fucking retarded.

    There are LVT counterarguments to this sort of thought experiment, but they usually render LVT unworkable in the real world (by positing some other type of value that is invisible and immeasurable, for instance). It really did not take long after Marx for LVT to fall by the wayside.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    one thing I really loathe is people who ask for help without trying something first

    at work this happens a fair amount

    --hey, can you help me do X?

    well there are instructions for how to do X here

    or you could try it and probably figure it out

    --oh but I haven't been trained

    okay so I figured this out myself, but rather than spend any time of your own learning how to do it you'd rather waste both of our time

    on the other hand, it drives me fucking bonkers when people try something first and then ask me for help once everything has gone to shit

    this can be true but there are also times where its very simple but completely unintuitive

    so either one person can spend an hour figuring it out or two people can spend 5 minutes

    in other words DON'T MAKE ME ANXIOUS TO ASK FOR HELP EVER :(

    Women may well be educated, but they are not made for the higher sciences, for philosophy and certain artistic productions which require a universal element. Women may have insights taste, and delicacy, but they do not posses the ideal. The difference between man and woman is the different between animal and plant; the animal is closer in character to man, the plant to woman, for the latter is a more peaceful unfolding whos principle is the more indeterminate unity of feeling. When women are in charge of government, the sate is in danger, for their actions are based not on the demands of universality but on the contingent inclination and opinion. The education of women takes place imperceptibly, as if through the atmosphere of representation thought, more through living than through the acquisition of knowledge, whereas man attains his position only through the attainment of thought and numerous technical exertions.

    I know that sexism isn't gone, even sexism like this, but I find old timey sexism to be mystifying. Like old timey racism. Maybe it's just a measure of how I was raised, but to even come close to believing this, is very strange to me.

    Also how weirdly not hateful it is. Like, I can get a person who just hates women, but the intellectual sexism baffles me.

    Also I think that it's weird that women are the ones who learn things from the streets, apparently.

    If you ever get the chance, everyone should read On the Subjection of Women by JS Mill. He goes through all the sexist arguments of his time, dismantling them one by one. Mill was a huge agitator for women's rights, specifically the right to vote. The lady that teaches a lot of the feminist stuff in my department considers him to be the sole "father" of feminism. Which I guess is a fairly common view among the feminist intelligencia.

    "We believe in the people and their 'wisdom' as if there was some special secret entrance to knowledge that barred to anyone who had ever learned anything." - Friedrich Nietzsche
