I'm not sure what a post-modernist is in 2017. That's an old term which is now obsolete since today is modern, yet obviously after stuff that was once called post-modern.

To whatever degree postmodernism is defineable and you could call an individual a postmodernist, it's not like they've ceased to exist. In fact, I imagine that they're retired and living in Austin saying "y'all."

It does seem rather shortsighted to refer to an era or genre as postmodern.

I'm pretty sure a guy tried to commit suicide by stepping in front of my car today. I'm in the far right lane of a busy six lane road going about 40 mph. He looked at me the whole time and then took two steps into the road and squared his shoulders to my car. I was way too close to brake in time so I swerved into the next lane not even knowing for sure no one was there. Luckily there wasn't otherwise it would have been a wreck and probably still killed the guy too. I've been sick to my stomach about it ever since.

I can imagine. Sorry you had to deal with that. I ran over a little kid going 5-6 mph down the alley who stepped out from behind a dumpster. Only broke his hand but it was nearly so much worse. Only saw the tiniest glimpse of him bc I was watching his playmates across the alley. Was so close to continuing on and running over him with my rear tires. The what could have been through me for a loop for about three days.

Just imagine he was one of those damn Republicans, I am sure that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy...or pissed that you swerved... :cool:

Just kidding, hope you are doing ok.

These are the most terrifying words in the English language: "Game of Thrones-inspired improv comedy show."
