Book Challenge (2017)

I remember there being a thread like this on Old Guild. You put at the top of the post how many books you intend to read in a year, as well as your start date and how many you've read so far. Then you put a list of books underneath. Underline books as you read them then cross them out when you've finished. See if you can reach or beat your target. You can use my list below as a sample:

Started: 1/1/2017
Target: 30
How many read: 4

Books:
1. Assassination Vacation: Sarah Vowell - 255
2. Down and Out in Paris and London: George Orwell - 230
3. The Bloody Chamber: Angela Carter
4. Hystories: Elaine Showalter
5. The Secret History of the Mongol Queens: Jack Weatherford
6. New York Burning: Jill Lepore
7. Under the Banner of Heaven: Jon Krakauer
8. Snuff: Chuck Palahniuk

In a huge publicity stunt by your favorite video game company, you find out that your favorite character, the avatar above, is gay. How do you react?

Launching a DoS attack on the company's website would be the only proportionate course of action, duh

Stefan Karl Steffanson is a cultural treasure for all humanity

He looks like the lovechild of Johnny Cash and Peter Dinklage. Something good had to come out of Iceland eventually, I guess.

One weird trick that will win you any argument.

Also, when all else fails you can focus on minor grammar mistakes

One weird trick that will win you any argument.

<Snipped quote by ArenaSnow>
To be honest with you, labelling the other side as 'insane' has pretty much been one of the number one strategies throughout human history for getting rid of any sort of opposition. In terms of 'party-goers' though, are you talking about actual parties like hang-outs and such, or something else?

@Shoryu Magami

Not that it didn't happen before, but this is a phenomenon that's very much accelerated in the modern era. As scientific categorisation developed faster the Victorians started attributing everything, from homeless to women disobeying their husbands, to forms of madness. I'd guess it's no coincidence one of the kings most remembered as mad ruled England at the beginning of the nineteenth century, but I havent read ebough Foucault to be sure.

Oh wait. We were going for a less serious thread?

I'm extremely inexperienced and could use some relationship advice

@UnknownScarlet4 a lot of things may have happened actually

@Clirkus

Oh no. You definitely took Doivid's advice :/
