putnam's claim is that your experience with the medium is lacking, and you are unfairly condemning an artform

moreover, he goes on to imply, your opinion lacks the weight of objectivity or the presence of any sort of argument required to be convincing

it is an opinion, to which you are certainly entitled, but with no reason in particular to agree with it and some reasons to believe it is not well-founded, it is an opinion that seems to him distasteful, and therefore it is worthy of dissent

this deciphering is not that hard man come on

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I don't give a shite about rap's subject matter, it sounds awful.
I'm sure the lyrics are terrible as well, but that's a moot point.

wow now i'm impressed

you have listened to all rap and found it lacking you must be very old
The fuck are you even on about?
Attempting to decipher your posts is getting rather tiresome.
He's saying it's freaking ridiculous to say that you know for SURE that all rap is awful, or at least the subject matter is as well as the lyrics. To say this for truth, you must've heard every single rap song ever.
I do not understand what was complicated about that post, but there.

Oh, are we still stuck on this?
The elements of rap music that cause it to be defined as "rap" (or hip-hop or whatever you prefer to call it) are the very things that make it sound bad, i.e. not good. If you took a rap song and removed the badness, it would cease to be a rap song and become something more akin to soul, funk, blues or some form of electronica.

I'm getting a strong sense of deja vu from that time you guys tried to convince me that I couldn't possibly dislike all manga/anime unless I had sampled absolutely every existing instance of the stuff. Except, of course, that this time I feel far more strongly on the subject and your arguments seem somewhat less than well-worded.

rap is not a genre

and wait you actually think that about manga

but like

i was actually going to use that as a comparison to show some measure of absurdity in your argument

but apparently you're pretty consistent on managing to dislike things that are so utterly inconsistent and broad that certain things within themselves are incomparable to each other?

Not so much as WTF, but mixed feelings:

Today I'm called to a posse comitatus for the Finnish Defence Forces. Citizen's duty and all that, but I'm not really much of a militarist.

Hey guys, I fucking hate movies. It's not really anything about the content, it's that I saw one once, and I can't stand the thought of watching actors doing things on a screen.

JoJo is pretty similar to rap, right? Swings wildly between different settings while kinda maintaining a core idea behind it and also being amazingly weird?
Right?
Right?

See, I don't really like rap but to say manga and rap are similar eclipses left field. The only similarity I can think of is that you profess not to like them. That's like saying Marilyn Manson and the color orange are similar because seeing them annoys you.

As for why I don't really like rap it is that the music and the lyrics generally aren't independent things that reinforce each other when together. The rap beat itself usually isn't engaging enough to me and I prefer my lyrics to be more heavy on the emotion than the story.

I actually meant to say, 'things categorized as anime/manga are pretty similar to each other'.
I should have worded that differently, and perhaps not chopped so much context out of that quote. >.>

Had a genuine nightmare last night. The kind of insane, multi-chapter nightmare that persists over waking up several times, where each chapter still references the other.

I tell my cousin and she goes "Oh no, you had cheese nightmares!" (We had a big fancy cheese plate for dessert last night.)

Cheese nightmares. That shit is just cruel.

Just returned from the posse. They won't take an insomniac into the army, so they told me to get my life together and return in two years. I'm not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed.
