Further spiraling down the rabbit hole into uselessness (following their recent FUBARs in changes to donation levels and generally crappy customer service), Humble Bundle offered up this gem:
Humble Book Bundle: Bikes by Microcosm
Now, if one were to judge a bundle by its title, one might assume that this is a batch of small-press books on bicycles and the cycling lifestyle.
Not a chance in hell. It features such wonderful titles as:
-
Bikes in Space: Feminist Bicycle Science Fiction
-
Taking The Lane - a series of Feminist and Trans 'zines about dealing with misogyny and the like in bicycling culture in Portland
-
Bikes Not Rockets: Intersectional Feminist Bicycle Science Fiction Stories
-
Trans-Galactic Bike Ride: Feminist Bicycle Science Fiction Stories of Transgender and Nonbinary Adventurers
I couldn't make these up if I tried. Out of the whole bundle it looks like there are maybe three or four books that might have something real to read about cycling culture. The rest are in the same vein as the above-listed feminist and trans rhetoric.
I have but one thing to say: We needed this bundle like a fish needs a bicycle.
What are the implications of consent to a low offer?
They become low cost whores.
Exactly. Whore in terms of consenting to a false authority of those who offer, and low cost based on ignoring ones own sole authority over self (free will of choice) being able to freely evaluate all offered.
If you do a transaction...do it a) within reality and b) always haggle to find balance aka adhere to the senses adapting to each others choices of evaluation.
This person's comments always make me feel a mix of confusion and frustration.
I feel like they deliberately put their point across in the most convoluted and overly academic manner possible.
I can enjoy some esoteric rhetoric, but it's over the edge for what I can handle. Having unique local posters is neat, but this style is overboard in autism.
My best good faith interpretation is that the intention is to encourage careful analysis of word choice and the search for meaning where most wouldn't bother. I'd ask them directly, but then I'd be responsible for reading their reply and trying to make sense of it.
