Muttering and grumbling

“The only way to comprehend what mathematicians mean by Infinity is to contemplate the extent of human stupidity.”

 - Voltaire


I'm easily irritated by lack of intelligence and common sense. More so than usual these days, thanks to this no smoking crap. Wandering about the intertubes, I see so much stupidity and I can't bear it, and I want to snark the shit out of it, preferably in a community of some sort, but I left stupid_free and sf_drama because I couldn't stand one more minute of the intensely annoying US-centrism.

mock_the_stupid is simply out of the question. It's got opalcat, for crying out loud. There's more stupidity among the members than in what they mock.

In other words, I'm sorely tempted to set up a non-US-centric community for the pointing and laughing at stupid fuckwits.

By the by, as far as I can tell, it seems almost safe to pay for LJ again. The Russians haven't done anything that's annoyed me in quite a while. And I so miss my icons and my edit option.

I think our new Russian overlords are OK. And LJ paid accounts are so cheap. I say go for it.

of the intensely annoying US-centrism.

It can get a bit wearying. Especially the assumption that things of interest to those in the US must also be of absorbing interest to everyone else on the planet.

I hear there will be a permanent account sale in December. I might as well go for that and be done with the wibbling.

What really gets to me is the assumption that the definition of racism which is so popular in the US (at least among Americans on LJ) overrules all non-sociologic definitions. Since I'm of the opinion that racism=power+prejudice is an intensely racist definition in and of itself, I'm often in for a good big fit of irritation.

Do you know how much they will cost?

Haven't heard. I think it was 150 USD the last time, but I could easily be mistaken.
