Naw man, stop trying to take the paradox out of Nietzsche. I mean, if you think he’s outright contradicted himself, keep working on your interpretation – he’s definitely not a freewheeling deconstructionist who’s given up on coherence and truth – but he’s less interesting without the tension and ambivalence and the critiques that are also aimed at himself.

(I switched from watching “Buffy” to reading secondary literature. I have a paper I need to be writing…)

I reblog this every time I see it. I just cant

THIS IS WHERE THE MEME CAME FROM

Seriously, though, the French LOVED Edgar Allan Poe,
thanks in particular to Jules Verne.

He even wrote a sequel to Poe’s only novel,
and numerous essays about how great an author Poe was.

By all accounts, Poe (who lived a penniless life in the US)
really *was* baffled by all of this.

Reblogging because I never saw that part before!

i think you meant JULES VERNE WROTE E-A-POE FANFICTION

I find it rather suspect that they claim they don’t want anti-Ragnarok people interacting with their posts, but don’t block the ones who they know are liable to do that. You know this person engages in a behavior that you claim you don’t appreciate, but you don’t do the one simple thing you could to ensure it never happens again? Seems more likely they want those people to engage just so they can advertise to their echo chamber who disagrees with them.

Yeah, I really don’t know why they wouldn’t just hit the Block button – surely that’s less trouble than going through and making/saving screenshots of someone’s comments? But, some people just seem to thrive on and invite fandom drama, I guess. It’s like Willy Wonka watching a disaster unfolding and saying, completely monotone, “Stop, don’t.” They must know that they’re inviting the possibility of disagreement when they post publicly on Tumblr, they’d just rather have an indignant rage aneurysm when someone finally does disagree rather than avoid the whole thing completely. Idk, man. And the reason I mention that it’s hilarious that I’m not even an anti-Ragnarok person is because it’s like, look, I am not calling you out because I have any problem with Ragnarok, I am calling you out because your behavior fucking sucks. But, yknow, whatever. 

This is another thing straight out of the anti playbook. They insist that it’s the pro-shippers’ responsibility to block them; it’s like they feel like they’ve “lost” if they block first.

PSA to everyone on Tumblr: Comments on posts are public, and other blogs may respond to your comments. If you want to have private conversations with your friends, use the messaging feature on Tumblr. The internet isn’t like the real world where we all have an understanding that you don’t insert yourself into conversations. On the internet, everyone’s having those “private” conversations with loudspeakers and printed transcripts passed out to every passerby. They’re never really private, never really exclusive, unless you use the features that are specifically designed to keep your conversations one-on-one. I’ll never write anything in posts, reblogs, tags, or comments that I’m uncomfortable with someone responding to and/or debating me on, because the internet doesn’t follow the same rules as the real world. It just doesn’t. And if someone’s response really bothers you, block them.

This has suddenly become very topical.
