    1. @merrytiffmas You haven't graduated to "Bee Movie" so there's still hope

      Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:00:00 UTC from web
      1. @noelnarwhal there is no hope

        Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:00:15 UTC from web
        1. @merrytiffmas I want to have hope

          Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:00:31 UTC from web
          1. @noelnarwhal me too but that would be stupid

            Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:01:31 UTC from web
            1. @merrytiffmas Would it be though? Would active disengagement with an issue actually be the intelligent response to it?

              1. @noelnarwhal let's find out

                Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:03:10 UTC from web
                1. @merrytiffmas The answer, of course, is no. "Active disengagement" is an ornate way of phrasing "willful ignorance", which tends to be a knee-jerk reaction to conflict outside of a strict moral binary.

                  1. @noelnarwhal that's me

                    Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:10:09 UTC from web
                    1. @merrytiffmas It's not you, it's a behaviour that can be exhibited by anyone (and this umbrella of course happens to include you). People aren't the problem so much as ideas and ways of thinking are, so that's why we have to responsibly unpack them to the best of our ability.

                      1. @noelnarwhal oh okay

                        Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:13:43 UTC from web
                        1. @merrytiffmas So, uh, yeah. Self-criticism is important!

                          Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:15:05 UTC from web
                          1. @noelnarwhal I'm certainly on that ball

                            Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:15:18 UTC from web
                            1. @merrytiffmas Self-deprecation and self-criticism are different things

                              Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:15:42 UTC from web
                              1. @noelnarwhal I'm on a ball then

                                Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:15:58 UTC from web
                                1. @merrytiffmas A proverbial ball that you won't be on for the rest of your life, you know

                                  Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:16:48 UTC from web
                                  1. @noelnarwhal watch me

                                    Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:17:22 UTC from web
                                    1. @merrytiffmas I have been for some time, actually

                                      Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:20:34 UTC from web
                                      1. @noelnarwhal itsnotcreepy.gif

                                        1. @scribus Well when you put it like that

                                          Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:21:51 UTC from web
                                          1. @noelnarwhal http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/830057

                                            1. @scribus the moving picture box makes a convincing argument

                                              Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 05:10:24 UTC from web
                                      2. @noelnarwhal sounds disappointing

                                        Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:21:06 UTC from web
                                        1. @merrytiffmas More concerning, to be honest

                                          Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:21:35 UTC from web
                                          1. @noelnarwhal that is me

                                            Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:22:03 UTC from web
                                            1. @merrytiffmas It's also how I feel about the situation, as a result of me wanting to engage with it, and how I feel specifically isn't necessarily a projection of your sense of self (though it may take influence from it, but these are different concepts ipso facto).

                                              1. @noelnarwhal I see

                                                Tuesday, 08-Dec-15 02:25:27 UTC from web
                      2. @noelnarwhal Ideas and ways of thinking are the problem? Like how Tyler Durden has become a self-sustaining and perpetuating meme / psychic monster?

                        1. @scribus The character of Tyler Durden became the embodiment of everything he thought he was fighting against- his actions weren't necessarily harmful in strictly empirical terms and were more so on a scale of societal impact, which can be seen in the microcosmic faux-bureaucracy he instills within his Project Mayhem.
