You probably would be better off shot, rather than stabbed.

Actually warming up to the idea that you'll need to pass some sort of personality test if you want to play competitively online.

Teenagers, in groups, shouldn't be allowed in movie theaters. At all.
Popcorn should be banned as well, the worst possible snack to watch a movie with.
Don't bother going to a cinema if it won't allow you to bring your own beer.
Whipping out a phone should in the middle of a film should be grounds for banning.

Not sure if that really changed anything, to be honest. He quickly grew to hate Wagner, and wrote articles basically calling him a shit.

Still guilt by association big or small likely factored in.

It would be a very tenous one though. You cannot talk about Nietzche's relationship with Wagner without reference to Nietzsche contra Wagner. The more sober charges you could lay at the feet of his sister and his brother-in-law, as well as the Nazis.

Nietzsche's association with Wagner was basically that a glorified grocery boy, not that it matters, I doubt most people offended by either even knows that the two ever met.

One thing often missed about philosophers, is that people tend to ignore who their intended audiences originally were. Nietzsche wrote largely for his close circle of friends and associates. And almost no one else. He wrote in a deliberately jokey not-too-serious manner to get a rise out of his friends. This it makes it easy for people to shape his words to support almost anything.

Nietzsche was used as proproganda much before the 1930s/40s, portions of his books were distributed in the German trenches during WW1, as some sort of morale booster. I imagine that is how the people who would become the Nazis were first introduced to him.

Nietzsche's rehabilitation came after WWII with translations by Walter Kauffman. They were actually very problematic, but it was a start.

His association with wagner at the start (despite the falling out) didnt exactly help his post war image either.

Theres alot of purpouseful missinformation about him do to his sisters poltical afiliations in the early 30s/40s germany for obvious reasons so its understandable they would have that misconception.

He had a mental collapse (likely due to a brain tumor) towards the end and his sister put him in a shrine of sorts...its actually really sad.

I wish humans had redundant organs. Pretty shitty that we have a organs like hearts and brains without backup.

Or also a mod for FRC.

Yes.
Although I like milk chocolate, too.

White chocolate isn't chocolate.

I like them all, including white "chocolate", I just don't pretend it is chocolate.

I'd like it more if it wasn't so bitter, but I think it's supposed to have health benefits in moderation?

Dark Chocolate isn't as bitter as you think it is, you're just addicted to fucking sugar.

If you drink soda on the regular, everything tastes worse unless it's chock full of preservatives and sugar.

^This.

If you think you don't like dark chocolate, eat the quality stuff slowly and in tiny pieces, take time to enjoy the flavour. Don't munch it down like a bar of milk chocolate.
