    CT - Wakephan09 loves Jeff [Redacted] like a fat kid loves cake

    I am only joking because in actuality much of the architecture (medieval and so on and so forth) in Ljubljana is really quite stunning.

    Yes *sniff* the buzz as they say is typical Slovenian thought. And by that I mean *sniff* a resounding inability to make up one's mind so in this way it is very much like American democracy. you will love it!

    1485844333412687879 The fool is a simpleton, a court jester who is allowed to tell the truth precisely because the 'performative power' (the sociopolitical efficiency) of his speech is suspended; the knave is the cynic who openly states the truth, a crook who tries to sell the open admission of...

    CT - It's Coming Home

    The clearest concrete embodiment of this objectal status of the voice is the hypnotic voice: when the same word is repeated to us indefinitely we become disoriented, the word loses the last traces of its meaning, all that we have left is its inert presence exerting a kind of somniferous hypnotic...

    CT number: onward to KORY BOWL

    And yet it is in this wanting that Pitbull - a singer who is perpetually donning the public mask of jouissance - operates. Pitbull is the artist of desire, the artist as Lacan's object petit a - the object that promises to fufill desire and in doing so structures the lack at the heart of the...

    Official 2021-22 NBA Offseason Thread - Warriors extend Poole and Wiggins

    The humor is to be found in the way that one's distancing of the Other (in this case the anti-Slovenian remark that the PhDeac makes) is revealing of the strict hierarchy that structures one's sense of subjectivity. It is through this nationalistic act of negation that one draws the contours...

    A well-known object relations joke is the fool who thought he was a grain of corn. After some time in a mental hospital he was cured; now he knew that he was not a grain, but a man.

    You know ectually I have seen this entertainer Joe Rogan *sniff* and I think I would enjoy his company to be quite honest with you. It is as Aquinas says "hominem unius libri timeo" but instead I do not fear him because he has not read a single one!

    Chat Thread: BIFF IS STEALING THE CHAT THREAD !

    For western civilisation, a simple repression of the base/abject - burying it underground - is not enough; it must be sublimated. Read Laporte, when he writes: "If that which is expelled inevitably returns, we must trace its circuitous path: Shit comes back and takes the place of that which is...

    Chat Thread: Be better than the Gap, guys

    the "humor" in "poop jokes" is just your reaction to a threatened breakdown in meaning caused by a relaxing (or loss of) the distinction between subject and object. (defined by Kristeva as "the Abject") shit is an intrusion of the Real into our lives. just as the trauma of witnessing a human...
