...Looks like? Well, old British sci-fi is made of cardboard? And when it had a truly huge budget, polystyrene?
British TV does actually seem to have better cinematography these days than American TV. Or at least, when it comes to public UK TV vs public American TV
unless I've been deceived all these years and BBC/Channel 4/et al are not public in which case fuck da police
ITV and Channel 4 have been attempting to reduce their PSB obligations due to digital telly.
is that a yes, no, maybe, or what
It's disorienting when everything looks like tgat
^^ It's a "they're officially PSB, but whining that they shouldn't have to be in the current market."
Icalasari: Lay off the cat drugs.
It also makes for quite a number very interesting points. I even kind of pity that I didn't know enough of it back in the day.
I'm inclined to guess that it would never cross the mind of your typical anarchist, that these societies were often lawful to the extreme - the Somalis have a common law called Xeer, of which they say, "you can change your religion, but not the Law", and keep in mind this religion is Islam, which is known for being hard on apostasy - and their fierce collectivism was at times quite at odds with an individual's liberties - all decisions were unilateral, so if you disagreed, you were beaten until you did.
But at least, we have to admit Heathen guy was pretty consistent, he was pretty overt that his idea of anarchist law enforcement was pretty much good old clan feud.
That's also keeping in mind these societies didn't exactly have to be paragons of Tumblr-level social justice, either. For example, the Longobard law assigned women the same status as the underage. Not to mention how most anarchists would probably see a problem in having a tribal king. The final sentence can be read in two ways, actually: "...returning society to its primitive form, free of inequalities and oppressive relations" (implying the primitive form was better) or "...to its primitive form, BUT/AS WELL AS free of inequalities and oppressive relations".
I read this as
I've been reading too about the Arab Spring protests and military actions.
Yo, people. Get in on the Jukebox and have an online movie party with us.
Sorry, I'm busy with some stuff right now.
I just downloaded Tiny Plumbers tho.
I should not have downloaded Tiny Plumbers.
^^^^ How do I use that without letting any of y'all see my Google or Twitter handle?
Plug.dj doesn't show your handle to anyone else. It shows your name as some generic alphanumeric string until you go and change it to something else.
ITV and Channel 4 are commercial entities.
The only big public broadcaster in the U.S. is PBS; the largest over-the-air networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and The CW) are all commercial entities owned by large media companies.
^ referring to...?
A new meme wherein a room is first videotaped involving people going about their business except for one person acting very oddly, and then the same room is subsequently videotaped showing everyone in the room acting oddly.
Acting oddly may occasionally include sexually-suggestive actions.
However, they are still considered public service broadcasters.
So that's the Harlem Shake, huh? I was under the impression it was some sort of new dance/exercise craze like Zumba. Kinda disappointing, really.
^^^ I meant where is this everyone he's referring to.
The Harlem Shake is a dance.
It's also a song and corresponding meme, that have nothing to do with the dance. Baauer (the man who created the song) has actually been seriously accused of cultural appropriation, because the actual dance called The Harlem Shake used to be a pretty big thing in, well, Harlem.
But I got lots of comments on my mohawk.
Your turnout operation was insufficient?
True, but when talking about equality in primitive society the usually cited model are the most primitive of the primitive - pre-agricultural hunter-gatherer societies. The patriarchy, for example, came with agriculture - earlier, women would go and hunt or gather plants alongside men, but due to agriculture being much more physically intensive, they ended up staying at home and forced to abide to their gender role, which gradually led to their worse position. The origins of monogamy also come with men attempting to make women their property, and forcing them to stay at home at make sammiches (at the dawn of monogamy, adultery was punishable for women but not for men).
So what exactly is the point here? I was under an impression that only anarcho-primitivists wish for humanity to return to hunter-gatherer phase, and you don't seem to belong to them. And by the way, I wouldn't be so quick painting hunter-gatherers as harmless and polite noble savages.
The point is to, more or less, recreate the social structure that existed in hunter-gatherer societies. While deviations were indeed caused by civilizational advances, anarcho-primitivists are the only ones who believe it can be done only by the complete destruction of everything we call civilization, while everybody else is against that.
There is actually an anarcho-primtivist cell in Belgrade (called blok45), and they're kinda creepy from what I've seen of them.
