2022.08.27 17:40 langenoirx Is reading Simone de Beauvoir's "Le Deuxième Sexe" critical to understanding her thought in her other texts?
Through a round about confluence of reading some Camus to expand my French vocabulary and a general interest the French Revolution (the 1789 edition) of late, I've found myself at the doorstep of the Marquis de Sade, his relationship to the revolution, his interpretation of French society in general of the time, and de Beauvoir's essay "Faut-il brûler Sade?" I would like to read the de Beauvoir piece, but I'm wondering if I should (must) read "Le Deuxième Sexe" first to understand her thought before I read other works by her? I've been saving "Le Deuxième Sexe" until my language skill improves.

2021.12.10 00:38 NoretSarted Recommendations: heavy philosophical novels
Hi! I've been reading a lot of philosophical/deep/character based novels lately. I enjoy them very much. I'm looking for some new books on the mood/subject. Specially nihilism, existencialism or similar currents.
A list of authors and books I've read:.
I've read everything Camus wrote, Dostoyevski, a bunch of Kafka, also Nasuea by Sartre, Marquis De Sade. Even some Palahniuk. You get it. Any similar recommendations?
Thanks!

2021.10.29 05:15 sixtus_clegane119 Getting Back Into Reading Again
After maybe 14 years of barely reading(read the first 4 Asoiaf books in 2018/2019, before that it was Hannibal Rising when it came out and American Psycho in 2008)way too many drugs(prescribed and recreational) dampening my brain, motivation and memory I am back in the Swing of things.
Throughout the years I have wanted to read so many books, and I want to get to them now that my brain is working a bit better(hopefully they help my brain work even better)
I read God is Not Great - Christopher Hitchens(so many words I had to look up, with new ways to express things I have felt all my life), then I read Fire and Blood in anticipation for House Of The Dragon in 2022.
Now sitting here taken out of the library I have 1.A Wild Sheep Chase - Haruki Murakami (was recommended by someone because I talked about loving surrealism from David Lynch and the artwork of Salvador Dali)
2.House Of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski (most frequently recommend book in horrorliterature, looks like a confusing read)
5.The Boys omnibus 1(already read a digital version, but wanted a version that I wasn’t constantly zooming, this will be good for times where I am tired or scatterbrained)
4.The Sandman Vol 1 - Neil Gaiman
5.The Colour Of Magic - Terry Pratchett
6.The Satanic Verses - Salman Rushdie
7.Animal Farm - George Orwell
Thanks!

2020.08.21 19:06 twcsata Reddit's 200 Favorite Books, Ten Years Later.
Let me say up front, I know this is a rehash of old material, if not an actual repost. I am posting it because it’s been a few years since it last came up, and it’s very much worth repeating, and also introducing to newcomers to Reddit or the subreddit.
Some years ago when I was new to Reddit, a post came up in this subreddit which attempted to tally up “Reddit’s 200 Favorite Books.” Down the rabbit hole, I discovered that that (now lost to me) post was actually a repeat itself of an earlier post by raerth. This topic has come up a few times since then, every few years, as (I think) well it should. From what I can tell, it’s been a few years since the last refresher--but more to the point it's been ten years since the original post! So, I thought it might be a good time to bring it to your attention. So, here we go!
The original list was compiled from various recommendation and “best books” threads now more than ten years old, which you will see if you click on the above link. There have of course continued to be new such posts in the interim, and so the list as I’m going to present it will have additional selections added to the end, based on some of the newer posts. You’ll see if you look at the next two links that the original poster didn’t want the list tampered with; out of respect for that, I’ll put a divider between the original 200 and the later additions. What I have NOT done is recompiled old and new posts together to produce an updated ranking; I just tacked new selections on at the end without ranking them into the original list. You should also know that the list is also available on Goodreads in two parts, here (part one) and here (part two).
Feel free to discuss anything you like about them—your experiences with these books, what you think belongs here and what doesn’t, etc. In the intervening years, has anyone read through the list, whether partially or completely? How did that work out?
I want to point out that clearly a few entries were given as joke entries on the posts from which the list was originally sourced, but with enough frequency that they were preserved here anyway; no need to point out that those selections aren’t serious. Also, a few entries made it on as a series, not an individual book, so the total number of books here is higher than expected.
I know this list is heavily white male authors. Feel free to discuss that too, but remember that that’s more a reflection on the state of publishing over the years than a reflection on any Redditor.

If somehow this subreddit removes this post for some benign reason, catch me on trueunpopular opinion.
The right tells you to blame minorities and college students. The left tells you to blame regular working people. The TV tells you to keep following this endless perplexus of "point the finger and blame, blame, blame".
Leftist op-ed hosts and Christian conservatives are both working on the same narrative, fear. Be afraid of anyone who isn't white. Be afraid of someone who doesn't follow the failed lockdown. Be afraid of someone who walks freely. Be afraid of that family that lets there kids play outside and walk to school. Be afraid of the virus that is less harmful than flu. Be afraid of immigrants coming over and making a life for themselves peacefully. Be afraid of someone who questions why we have no voice in our government, and why our leaders are taking orders from oversees and opaque corporations like the WHO. Be afraid of the poor. Be afraid of a black man walking down to the corner store at night to get a drink and a snack. Be afraid of guns. The corporation on TV told me to stockpile X, Y, And Z.
Stop looking at things as Red Vs Blue, democrat vs republican, black vs white. Stop hating your neighbor because he's a different color, because he jumped the border, because he doesn't share exactly your same views. Stop watching CNN and fox news, both telling you to be a paranoid android. Borders and race do not exist. We as a people can unite simply through putting down the computers and talking to one another civilly. But that's too idealistic as well.
When you show sensitivity to the words of others, you are by default letting the aggressor win. Showing people you are easily controller by mere words is the first step to controlling spheres of influence in this culture of victimization and paranoia.
Endnote: "Culture of Fear" is a great read to start for anyone interested in gaining a perspective on this, albeit it is a bit biased. Obviously philosophers such as Albert Camus, Marquis De Sade, Frederich Nietzsche, and William S Burroughs are all seminal in dissecting the paranoid virus of American Exceptional virus. Also, this post is not attacking the pandemic response particularly. Just use common sense as you always have and you'll be find, not a "murderer" like Cuomo said (the same guy who forced virus-positive patients into nursing homes taking countless lives).
Removed from unpopularopinion for being... political???? Lol

2018.09.07 14:20 OlejzMaku Am I a classical liberal?
I have been doing some cataloguing of my influence. I don't claim I have read everything. It is a bundle of books and authors mostly put together form reading digests, lectures and bits and pieces I read or would want to read. It is simply a list of thinkers and works I like. Order is approximately chronological, some names are grouped according to nationality and towards the end I just couldn't be bothered. Anyway here is what I have so far.
submitted by OlejzMaku to Classical_Liberals [link] [comments]
- Plato – The Apology (The Trial of Socrates)
- I see Socrates as de facto free speech martyr that is starting this whole business
- I don’t find Plato's original ideas that interesting

2018.09.04 14:09 OlejzMaku My classical liberal reading list
So since every once and a while someone asks for book recommendations I am not sure what to recommend I have been working on a list for a while. It is an endless work so I thought I might as well share before I forget about it. It is a bundle of books and authors mostly put together form reading digests, lectures and bits and pieces I read or would want to read. It isn't meant to be objective, exhaustive or too serious list. It contains some popular literature or speeches and well as "serious" thought. It is simply a list of thinkers and works I like. Order is approximately chronological, some names are grouped according to nationality and towards the end I just couldn't be bothered. Anyway here is what I have so far.
submitted by OlejzMaku to CapitalismVSocialism [link] [comments]
- Plato – The Apology (The Trial of Socrates)
- I see Socrates as de facto free speech martyr that is starting this whole business

2018.07.17 21:29 Owlbituary Suggestions for "what the fuck...?" books.
I really enjoy books that explore characters spiraling into the dark reaches of depravity. I also enjoy books that make me put them down to go take a shower or books that make me audibly ask "what the fuck?" as I'm reading. I like to pick up books from a local secondhand bookstore, and I seem to be devouring books faster than I can replenish my supply. I would love some suggestions so I can stockpile as they come in! I'm happy with both fiction and nonfiction. Books that I've read recently include:

2017.12.03 01:26 Blinx22 (Very long with summary) Stirner as the philosophical successor of Marquis De Sade.
Stirner as Marquis De Sade’s successor.
In general, the connection between the two thinkers is noted with regard to their radical individualism and seemingly immoral ethics. Based on this, some authors such as Iwan Bloch (= Eugen Dühren) even argue that Stirner was possibly familiar with Sade’s work. In “Der Marquis de Sade und seine Zeit” he wrote:
“Already H. Ströbel has highlighted that Stirner’s theory of egoism is not new and rather reminiscent of the ideas of enlightenment philosophers Holbach, La Mettrie and Helvetius. We cannot altogether silence the thought of Stirner possibly having known the writings of the Marquis de Sade, as well. Because neither Holbach nor La Mettrie and Helvetius defend incest and murder. Those are genuinely Sadean thoughts”.
Those two aspects – individualistic ethics and crime, which already appear in Iwan Bloch’s statement quoted above, lend themselves well to analysis, as they are elements central to both thinkers’ philosophies. The Dutch neo-anarchist Roul van Duyn wrote, drawing a connection between their perceptions of crime: "(D)e Sade (...), in his passionate propaganda for crime, can be compared to only one person: the anarchist philosopher Max Stirner (...) For both, crime is the weapon in the fight against religion, morality" (van Duyn, Max Stirner en Marquis de Sade, 10).
The common basis for both thinkers is the assumption that "selfishness" is the basic constant of human action. Starting from this consideration, they reject altruism as non-existent and justify an egocentric view of the world.
In order to read crime in the Sadean sense with Stirner, it is necessary to distinguish various meanings of this term. In the works of Sade, crime does not equal crime. In his works “Les Cent vingt journées de Sodome”, “La Nouvelle Justine” and “Histoire de Juliette”, Sade repeatedly reflected on the concept of crime.
One can derive from them roughly three levels of his concept of crime: - Crime as a breach of the law The first level is found in the ordinary deeds of his Libertines – such as theft, treason, counterfeiting.
In itself, crime as such is non-existent for Sade as well as for Stirner. If the morality and law are recognized as fixed ideas by the individual, “crime” in the classical sense can no longer continue to exist. Like morality, it will then be nothing more than a chimera.
Nature is apathetic, she knows neither good nor evil – and needs things which are qualified as both “good” and “evil” in order to exist. Against this background, the existence of the notion of crime is obsolete to the libertines. Where there is no distinction between good and evil, there is also no basis upon which to define crime.
Sade explains the existence of crimes by the existence of socially created laws, which he distinguishes from the laws of nature. Without laws there would be no crime.
In addition, and in the first place, laws are an expression of the idea of a “universal”, i.e. in Stirnerian, of a craze. He calls them, equivalent to Stirner, “Chimeras”.
Laws cannot be individually aligned, but always have a universal claim to follow. They are above the individual – and cannot be removed by the individuals themselves. Thus, they are, in Stirner’s terms, holy. Stirner reflects on this in “The egoist and its own”: “Only against a sacred thing are there criminals; you against me can never be a criminal, but only an opponent”. They are, in Stirner’s terms, something "sacred".
Hence, they see in the “breach of the law” a legitimate indignation of the individual, who, in this step, defends himself against the supremacy of the universal; i.e. concretely, that the "singularity" (Stirner) or the "nature of the individual" (Sade) is limited by a super-individual instance.
The types of crimes that they take into consideration herein are irrelevant. To them, it is not about the phenomenology of the crimes, but about the concept itself.
Crime as an act is in this sense of the conflict between the interests of the individual and those of the higher instance, however inclined. Here, equivalent to Stirner, he places emphasis on “revolt” instead of “revolution”.
Just as the two thinkers relativize crime and pull the rug from under the idea of universally applicable laws, so they do with morality. In Sade, this is done at different levels. On the one hand, he relativizes any claim to the universality of morality by comparing it with the moral values of other times and on other continents (cf. Nouvelle Justine, tome I, 98, 143; Histoire de Juliette, tome I, 70, 572); on the other hand, by negating the very foundation of religion in his deconstruction of it (cf. Schuhmann, Radikale Individualität, 232-242).
Ultimately, he founded an individual ethics on the ruins of (Judaeo-Christian) morality. If he smashes the metaphysical basis, only the individual remains as the last basis.
This atomized individual is constituted, in turn, in his early work – especially in "Les Cent vingt journées de Sodome" – by considerations emanating from an absolute determination of nature reminiscent of La Mettrie, as explained by the Duc de Blangis at the beginning of Sade's novel fragment “Cent vingt journées de Sodome”: “Je ne suis dans ses mains qu'une machine qu'elle meut à son gré, il n'est pas un de mes crimes qui ne la serve”, (Sade, Cent vingt journées de Sodome, 9). Here, the aforementioned apathy of nature, which is also expressed in the confrontation of the life paths of the sisters Justine and Juliette, forms an important basis. Both sisters are in the same situation at the beginning of the story and opt for their respective life paths out of their inner nature. The negation of the distinction between “good” and “evil” also plays an essential part. In this aspect, Stirner is consistent with him. He illustrates this with the example of the Roman Emperor Nero, whom, instead of associating him with the category of evil, he merely writes off as “possessed”. “A Nero is a ‚bad’ man only in the eyes of the ‚good’; in mine he is nothing but a possessed man, as are the good too”, (Stirner, The egoist and its own, 68).
Sadean libertines share this view, because they reject this distinction as well. Sade’s libertines reflect on this, however, and, with the exception of Juliette, yet also are largely obsessed with “evil”. To them, the act of evil seems an expression of individual freedom.
If the concrete individual is the measure of all things, it does not need any such legitimizing pattern as Sade provides to justify his behaviour. The Sadean libertines follow their own nature, i.e. they act according to their “natural” installations and needs. Herein, the beginnings of his concept of individuality, based on the nature-related peculiarity of the individual, can be found.
Similar to Stirner, Sade joins this idea with the idea of egoism. The egoism is for the two thinkers the base of their philosophy which is in an opposition to the concept of morality.
The concept of nature used by Sade here may also be grasped by means of Stirner’s notion of ownness.The libertines – like Stirner's “owner” – declare themselves the measure of all things – and accept no collective instance. To both writers, the individual’s power (power in the term of potential) is sufficient legitimization for their actions (see above). Also to the owner, there is no other level of legitimization than individual power. In this, like Stirner, Sade writes off morality as a chimera (Cf. Nouvelle Justine, tome II, 109).
However, according to both thinkers, this idea is the basis for the creation of a social order that does not suppress the individual.
A major difference is also that Sade wishes to create a regulative framework where one can live in their natural state. This results in another fixed idea, or immoral morality. Sade does not take the step – taken so consequently by Stirner – of thinking the consequences of his own considerations through to the end, i.e., in this case, to an absolute annihilation of anything higher existing above the individual. Here, Sade is fully aware of the risk of this philosophy threatening to degenerate into immorality. The two libertins Ferdinand and Charlotte thematize this in their discussion of atheism.
To Stirner, this question of immorality is, however, irrelevant. He thinks through egocentrism more consistently than Sade and thus does not risk the predicament of having to worry about it. His consummate egocentrism renders any justification obsolete.
Moreover, his underlying idea of man is much less pessimistic than Sade’s, which was of course influenced by the impression of the bloodshed and the infighting during the French Revolution. For him, the feeling of love does not preclude egocentricity, provided that it is based on the selfish interests of the individual.
His considerations show a reflected individual who, in the terms of the guiding principle of the Oracle of Delphi knows itself, i.e. also limits itself. Colossal violations of the rules of society in the sense of Sade do not appear with him. Sade’s Libertines may appear in this aspect, as already noted by the German scientist Albert Eulenburg, as Baroque-style caricatures of Stirner’s “Eigner”.
The idea of the concrete individual is a problem immanent in the philosophy of the two thinkers. To Stirner, the individual is ineffable. When utilizing the religious metaphor of names not being fit to designate God, in consequence, the individual is not nameable, either. In contrast, in Sade, the individual is a mechanically active being determined by nature partially in the tradition of La Mettrie’s materialism.
The Sadean libertines express their individuality by actually performing evil. Thus, the construction of the individual also differentiates both thinkers. Stirner’s egoist, or owner, displays a “cold”, reflected personality, while the “usual” Sadean libertine possesses a rational, but still passionate character determined by nature.
With regard to Stirner most of the Sadean libertines are only possessed, because they are slaves of their pure impulses. With the depiction of Juliette, who breaks out from this pattern and whom researchers often connect to the Nietzschean concept of the superman (see for example Carter, The Sadean woman; Hermans, Das sadistische Universum), Sade already approaches to some extent that reflected individuality, as represented in Stirner in the form of the owner. Juliette is no longer subsumable under the metaphor of “l’homme machine”.
She comes closer than the other libertines to the ideal of Stirner, which is expressed in the words: “I receive with thanks what the centuries of culture have acquired for me; I am not willing to throw away and give up anything of it: I have not lived in vain. The experience that I have power over my nature, and need not be the slave of my appetites, shall not be lost to me; the experience that I can subdue the world by culture's means is too dear- bought for me to be able to forget it. But I want still more.” (Stirner, The egoist and its own, 445446).
Summary:
The overlap in the thought of both philosophers and even the obvious approach to Stirner’s concepts in the form of Juliette – which, alas, could only be hinted at this point – emphasize this essay’s opening claim that reading Sade from a Stirnerian perspective is worthwhile. The depictions of crime, immorality and a radical individualism in the works of Sade which have resulted in controversies and criticism time and again take on a new significance through a Stirnerian lens. Such a reading allows for the philosophical level that, after all, shapes the thinking of Sade; to be uncovered behind the scenes of pornographic and monstrous discourse. It opens access to his individualistic philosophy and, hence, for a serious engagement with it. Starting from a common basis in the specific individual that they construct differently, both thinkers reject any form of a communality existing above the individual. This negation happens via a redundant reflection of that and through the act of outrage, which is reflected in the crime. The crime is thus also an expression of the classic conflict between individual and collective. In the crimes, the individuals constitute themselves, defending their individuality against the idea of something higher outside of the individual. Therein, Sade’s work is characterized by its procedural nature – as already noted by Simone de Beauvoir in her essay “Faut-il brûler Sade?”, while, in his work, Stirner already proves a reflected author who has lived through this process to the end. In relation to the investigated facets, the concept of crime on its philosophical level may be grasped as an expression of the conflicted relationship of the individual to a social whole claiming a universal right, in which Sade is compliant with Stirner.
Albert Camus had already addressed this aspect in “L’homme révolté”, but in this interpretation that level can be fully considered. Crime is not only an expression of individual revolt but, more concretely, of a defense of individuality against a claim to universality, which threatens to stifle it. Confronted with Stirner’s ideas, those facets of moral critique and individualistic ethics closely related to the reflections on crime also take a new turn. The interpretation of non-specific convictions (morality, religion) and institutions (State law) as chimeras or fixed ideas is underlined here and legitimizes the action ethics of the libertines. Matched with Stirner’s philosophy, the problems that, partially, have received only vague consideration from Sade at last receive their appropriate name as fixed ideas. Hence, the unease about the limitating restriction of the individual represented by Sade’s literature may be clad in philosophical terms with the aid of Stirner.
Therefore, Sadean literature, as well, can be seen as a model, in my opinion, on the basis of which Stirner’s philosophy may be mapped. What unites both thinkers is that they represent a philosophy of radical individualism, i.e. an individualism radically thought through to the end, in a way that has not yet been surpassed. This shows the limits of the Stirnerian concept and highlights the potential dangers of an individualism that is taken to extremes.

In general, the connection between the two thinkers is noted with regard to their radical individualism and seemingly immoral ethics. Based on this, some authors such as Iwan Bloch (= Eugen Dühren) even argue that Stirner was possibly familiar with Sade’s work. In “Der Marquis de Sade und seine Zeit” he wrote:
“Already H. Ströbel has highlighted that Stirner’s theory of egoism is not new and rather reminiscent of the ideas of enlightenment philosophers Holbach, La Mettrie and Helvetius.

One can derive from them roughly three levels of his concept of crime: - Crime as a breach of the law The first level is found in the ordinary deeds of his Libertines – such as theft, treason, counterfeiting.
- Crime as sexual stimulation for the libertines A meaningful example of the second level is that passage from Juliette, where she, after having set a fire in the dwelling of a poor family, is sexually satisfied by her female companion in her totally excited state (cf. Histoire de Juliette, tome I, 396 and following). Other protagonists also connect sexual pleasure with crime.
- Crime as a metaphysical revolt The third level is marked by the revolt against social rules, which are considered a restriction of their nature by the protagonists. The pursuit of transgression is closely linked with the individual’s aspirations to freedom, herein defending his or her individuality and creating a framework for its development.
In itself, crime as such is non-existent for Sade as well as for Stirner. If the morality and law are recognized as fixed ideas by the individual, “crime” in the classical sense can no longer continue to exist. Like morality, it will then be nothing more than a chimera.

As I sit here contemplating life after TagPro, I can't help but get emotional. The bond that I've shared with this community and players, is one of the strongest ties I have ever been a part of. I can never forget the experiences and fun times that I've had over the past 2 years and 8 months. It was you, yes you reading this, who made this game and community so great for me and everyone else around. Sit back and relax, because I've always promised myself I would write this post thoroughly when I knew I was ready to leave.
Let's start with why. As some of you may know, last year I was laid off from my first engineering job out of college. I became a shadow of myself. I am forever grateful to the teams that I was on during my employment because they saved me (more on that later). I had nothing to look forward to on a daily basis. My whole life, I had always thought I did the right things. I paid attention in school, I loved math and science, and I turned that into a great engineering degree. My whole life went numb after losing the only thing that I remember meaning something. But, I had TagPro and they had me. Eventually, things did turn around after 6 months and I've sustained an amazing enginereing job that I could not be happier about. To see where I was and where I am now, I can't help but cry a little bit knowing how far I've come. Now, on a good note, I actually love this job so much that I cannot continue playing TagPro on a daily basis. There's so much more I want to do to continue to better my career, and the time to grind out competitive practices and games every day is over.
Secondarily, to change gears a bit, I'm really saddened to leave the community in the state that it is in. When I first joined competitive TagPro, I remember how engaged people were. I first signed onto Mumble and t0p introduced me to pugs and told me to "trust him" on the button on Colors. Ohhhh man, I was hooked. Then, I found competitive TagPro and I realized I can do anything I wanted to to help the community. I could write previews, stream games, participate in trash talk, find new ways to play maps, make the Big Board, captain a team, stream a Super Ball ... there were endless possibilities. Every season I always tried to do something different to enhance my experience in the community. This brings me to my secondary reasons for leaving this game. The community isn't what it used to be. The boundless apathy and cringing sarcasm that plagues our community now has ruined a lot of the fun that I once loved. The activity levels are diminutive compared to seasons past, which has taken most of the fun out of the competition. Agree or disagree - it doesn't matter, but I am sorry that I couldn't do more to help leave the community in a better place.
Here's the section where I need to properly say goodbye. I've been blessed to be around incredible individuals on every team that I was on. Let's take a look back in time...(if I miss anyone, I apologize in advance)...
NLTP S2: Oh my - The Unbelievaballs. I started off without a captain who was then replaced by Cheesus42 who was replaced by noname. Phew lads. We had quite a team. From OJdude, papi, and Peter Pan, we really were onto something that season. If it wasn't for crippling lag, we would have beaten RR3D. I'm still bitter.
Speaking of OJdude (Mr. Dorito himself), the Nightly PUG crew was the best thing to happen in the summer of 2014. Every night, you logged on and just played TagPro all night with anyone and everyone. That was how we learned. I really wish that still existed because it was a bonding experience in game and out of game. Ballymandias and ludifisk, among others (and OJdude), you made those nights special to participate in. Thank you for being awesome.
MLTP S6: Back on track with The Capquistadors. What an introduction to minors I had with a last second winning cap. Chills. Special shoutouts to dywz for your shitty mic and being a chill captain, Nqoba for letting me play a decent amount, Arbybear for being a quiet stealth return machine, hola for being my favorite offense partner ever, Pithy for being one of my best friends in this game, Mace for becoming one of my other best friends in this game and Gub Bless. If it wasn't for those pesky FSBallers, we would have dominated the playoffs.
MLTP S7: PI RATS!! Let me name everyone first and get back to what I wanted to say: nlfn, Trane, CC, Trendygrub, F2P, Manbear, Maurice, demman32, lu, and Kitten Panda. I was truly lucky this season to be on a team with a group of loving teammates. Like I mentioned earlier, this team saved me from myself. I had nothing and they were the best teammates and people I could have asked for. Thank you. I love you guys.
NLTP S4: Ahhh the Bad News Balls are back in TagPro and I was captaining. This was the other team that helped me and man, they were a team. From the three-headed monster on defense of Brake, TheAprilFool, and nipplefart to Grill_Gamer, danisk, Moonghost, and mste on Offense, you guys almost pulled off the unthinkable. You made me laugh every night teaching you guys, especially Sir Cle Jerk and cbtexan04. Thanks for the memories.
MLTP S8: Some dummies decided to make me a majors captain for Bad News Balls. Who would have thought that would ever happen. You know the story: we were bad, we won a thrilling game, and my minors team nearly won the Muper Ball. Fun times - truly that was my favorite season to participate in. I have to have a few special words for Spiller, because whether he likes it or not, we had a special bond that season. Truly, he is one of the good guys and I'd be lucky to get to know him in real life. Class act. The rest of my team: Marquis, Marz, lu, Brake, InTents, TheAprilFool, Common, demman32, and Chrisball - y'all were a blast to have around last summer. It was really special watching you guys nearly win the title. You know how much you mean to me and I hope we continue to stay in touch on GroupMe and such.
NLTP S6 and NLTP S7: I'm getting pretty tried of writing this, so I'm combining my last two seasons together. Thanks to the ThunderCaps for letting me switch to defense and realize my true calling. SpaceTiger (the potato), Garg (the drunk), A-A-ron, #SelfySyntax, The DOT, Atrazine, Nilus, Hat Tricks, and Boethius. We were a crazy, cancerous group. Never again but still lots of love. Then to Bad News Balls to captain one last time. I feel bad because I did a terrible job drafting an active team, but most of you stuck it out with me. Migos, Tonto, #SelfySyntax, PIMP, Dingus, Pseudo, lumberjack, KahnMan, Garry, Camus, DOOM, and hugh - thanks for letting me teach you guys and I'm glad we had some fun along the way. Return for tonto!
I realize this post has gotten quite long, but I had a lot to get off my chest. Let me wrap it up now. I know I wasn't a great player and I never won a playoff game (where my fam at?), but I loved the challenge that this competitive atmosphere brought. At the end of the day, it was just fun for me. Sometimes, that's all there needs to be when you need a break from your hectic schedule. I met some truly wonderful people and got to participate in their lives shortly while they impacted mine. To anyone I might have wronged, I am sorry and I hope that we can both learn from that experience. Thank you everyone for being there and making our community a better environment. If anyone wants to stay in touch IRL, just send me a private message. I am going to miss playing competitive TagPro but I will never forget it.
Love,
honeybear

Secondarily, to change gears a bit, I'm really saddened to leave the community in the state that it is in. When I first joined competitive TagPro, I remember how engaged people were. I first signed onto Mumble and t0p introduced me to pugs and told me to "trust him" on the button on Colors. Ohhhh man, I was hooked. Then, I found competitive TagPro and I realized I can do anything I wanted to to help the community. I could write previews, stream games, participate in trash talk, find new ways to play maps, make the Big Board, captain a team, stream a Super Ball ... there were endless possibilities. Every season I always tried to do something different to enhance my experience in the community. This brings me to my secondary reasons for leaving this game. The community isn't what it used to be. The boundless apathy and cringing sarcasm that plagues our community now has ruined a lot of the fun that I once loved. The activity levels are diminutive compared to seasons past, which has taken most of the fun out of the competition. Agree or disagree - it doesn't matter, but I am sorry that I couldn't do more to help leave the community in a better place.
Here's the section where I need to properly say goodbye. I've been blessed to be around incredible individuals on every team that I was on. Let's take a look back in time...(if I miss anyone, I apologize in advance)...
NLTP S2: Oh my - The Unbelievaballs. I started off without a captain who was then replaced by Cheesus42 who was replaced by noname. Phew lads. We had quite a team. From OJdude, papi, and Peter Pan, we really were onto something that season. If it wasn't for crippling lag, we would have beaten RR3D. I'm still bitter.
Speaking of OJdude (Mr. Dorito himself), the Nightly PUG crew was the best thing to happen in the summer of 2014. Every night, you logged on and just played TagPro all night with anyone and everyone. That was how we learned. I really wish that still existed because it was a bonding experience in game and out of game. Ballymandias and ludifisk, among others (and OJdude), you made those nights special to participate in. Thank you for being awesome.
MLTP S6: Back on track with The Capquistadors. What an introduction to minors I had with a last second winning cap. Chills. Special shoutouts to dywz for your shitty mic and being a chill captain, Nqoba for letting me play a decent amount, Arbybear for being a quiet stealth return machine, hola for being my favorite offense partner ever, Pithy for being one of my best friends in this game, Mace for becoming one of my other best friends in this game and Gub Bless. If it wasn't for those pesky FSBallers, we would have dominated the playoffs.
MLTP S7: PI RATS!! Let me name everyone first and get back to what I wanted to say: nlfn, Trane, CC, Trendygrub, F2P, Manbear, Maurice, demman32, lu, and Kitten Panda. I was truly lucky this season to be on a team with a group of loving teammates. Like I mentioned earlier, this team saved me from myself. I had nothing and they were the best teammates and people I could have asked for. Thank you. I love you guys.
NLTP S4: Ahhh the Bad News Balls are back in TagPro and I was captaining. This was the other team that helped me and man, they were a team. From the three-headed monster on defense of Brake, TheAprilFool, and nipplefart to Grill_Gamer, danisk, Moonghost, and mste on Offense, you guys almost pulled off the unthinkable. You made me laugh every night teaching you guys, especially Sir Cle Jerk and cbtexan04. Thanks for the memories.
MLTP S8: Some dummies decided to make me a majors captain for Bad News Balls. Who would have thought that would ever happen. You know the story: we were bad, we won a thrilling game, and my minors team nearly won the Muper Ball. Fun times - truly that was my favorite season to participate in. I have to have a few special words for Spiller, because whether he likes it or not, we had a special bond that season. Truly, he is one of the good guys and I'd be lucky to get to know him in real life. Class act. The rest of my team: Marquis, Marz, lu, Brake, InTents, TheAprilFool, Common, demman32, and Chrisball - y'all were a blast to have around last summer. It was really special watching you guys nearly win the title. You know how much you mean to me and I hope we continue to stay in touch on GroupMe and such.
NLTP S6 and NLTP S7: I'm getting pretty tried of writing this, so I'm combining my last two seasons together. Thanks to the ThunderCaps for letting me switch to defense and realize my true calling. SpaceTiger (the potato), Garg (the drunk), A-A-ron, #SelfySyntax, The DOT, Atrazine, Nilus, Hat Tricks, and Boethius. We were a crazy, cancerous group. Never again but still lots of love. Then to Bad News Balls to captain one last time. I feel bad because I did a terrible job drafting an active team, but most of you stuck it out with me. Migos, Tonto, #SelfySyntax, PIMP, Dingus, Pseudo, lumberjack, KahnMan, Garry, Camus, DOOM, and hugh - thanks for letting me teach you guys and I'm glad we had some fun along the way. Return for tonto!

2014.11.14 18:03 Restelly-Quist Authors, philosophers, books, and poets in 'An Unnecessary Woman'
As I was reading An Unnecessary Woman, I realized that she was providing me a reading list like I might never see again. So I went back through and wrote it all down and wanted to share it with y'all!
In the book, the main character translates a book a year into Arabic. She never translates works originally written in French or English because she feels they've already been done better than she could.
She mentions authors from around the world, many of whom I had never even heard of. I hope you enjoy the list as much as I do!

2012.03.28 00:45 shakha Any atheists actually fascinated by the idea of a christian hell?
As an Atheist, I don't believe in a hell, obviously. However, sometimes, I think that if it turned that there was an extremist Christian god, I would be glad to go hell. A lot of the greatest people throughout history would be in hell. So, if there is a hell:
-You could watch the latest films from Luis Bunuel -You could read the latest works by Albert Camus -You could watch performances from ALL the greatest musicians -You could go to gallery shows by Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp -and frankly, I would love to read a piece by the Marquis de Sade in hell
Honestly, the only downside would be the heat (especially if you're a masochist!)

2012.01.17 22:04 aceist Am I still an atheist if I believe I am God?
First and foremost I'd like to say that I've been an atheist for all my life. Unlike many of you, I was not raised in a catholic school, or abused by conservative parents..etc etc.. My parents were professed atheists and didn't want me to be religious. As a lad, I was encouraged to read books. I grew to love french philosophers, like Diderot, Marquis de Sade, and Albert Camus. The latter became my idol; I remember once when I had a fight with my dad, I angrily yelled "YOU ARE NOT MY DAD! MY REAL DAD IS CAMUS". My dad was proud.
Unfortunately, my parents got divorced 3 years later. I was devastated. I started hanging out with some bad crowd. And it was at that point when I started experimenting with psychedelics: LSD, shrooms, DMT, salvia, peyote, morning glory, you name it.
The things I saw in my "trips" were eye-opening to say the least. I learned in that period (about the world, about energy, about life..etc) more than I learned from all the books and all the philosophies I read throughout my life.
I learned that with the help of these illustrious chemicals I can control 'reality'. I can shape anything to whatever I wanted. My imagination was the only limit.
I became God
