Identity concept

If all toasties are Raiden-compliant but not all Raiden-compliant… breads are toasties and some of them are former Sub Zero but Sub Zero covers three stages so only some it is Raiden-compliant, then how do you define Raiden-compliance since the toasties seem to be developing a premium on the term? And that’s before I even get into defining what should probably just be termed propaganda, fancy rhetoric aside or considering the Raiden-compliant breads that probably should be toastie, all things considered. I’m leaving Scorpion out of this though or it’ll all get far too complicated.

Points to anyone who can figure out what I’m really talking about too.


Also, my new revelation for today is that I seem to do some of my best thinking with a cup of tea clutched to my chest and Switchblade Symphony on at ear-shattering volumes.

In a general sort of generalness

Re-membering the Love Song: Ambivalence and Cohen’s “Take this Waltz”
Though I’m still not all that convinced that it isn’t some strange sort of reference to Dumas Fils’ Camille, my copy of which is second-hand and contained a rather cryptic message scrawled in pencil on the inside front cover:
"10 moments
7 choices
5 people
one way before [word I can’t read] diff afterwards"
Interestingly enough my copy has several black & while photographs in the middle, of various stage and screen renditions of the story, of which the image of Norma Talmadge as Camille reclining with a camellia in hand is particularly lovely.

Author Link on the other hand is just fun, though leading theory or otherwise I can’t quite take De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats seriously with descriptors like that.
And having worn myself out over this today, I shall end with a quote I’ve been saving for a little while now, which makes my latest demotivational poster even more amusing as far as I’m concerned:

"Protecting “native rights” from “native” oppressors, and protecting universal rights of property and settlement from local transgressions, introduced especially liberal motives for imperial rule."
