This explains why Amma and her friends were always so flippant about the murders Amma was the one who pulled out both girls' teeth for the "ivory" floor in her dollhouse, and the book notes that little girls' teeth are actually much easier to pull out than an adults' (or a pig).

With the drawing of the hermaphrodite deity "Agdistis" (21795–21779) and his cross-dressed "Self-Portrait" (21915), he also dabbled in impish images of pan-sexuality and tranvestism: a turn that gives his works a flippant and immodest, yet obsessive quality very different from the depersonalized detachment of his older arch-rivals.

Glantz, for his part, has often criticized Rodu and his counterparts for receiving financial support from the tobacco industry to conduct his research—though Rodu asserts that all of his findings are objective and independent, and that Glantz's retort is a flippant response meant to detract from the actual issue at hand.

One is also curious to know where Dean stands on Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem," a 1963 meditation on war crimes that was incendiary because of its problematic phrase "the banality of evil," and a tone so cold that Arendt's friend the Jewish historian Gershom Scholem thought it flippant (some used the word cruel).

And that's only counting the deaths we actually see, too: there are many, many more — like the almost brutally flippant deaths of Tonks and Lupin — that happen off-page, acting as nasty little post-battle surprises that only add to your sinking sense of hopelessness at just how harsh the magical world truly is.

Mr. Haggard was probably best known for his controversial hit "Okie From Muskogee," a flippant broadside, released in 1969, that defended conservative heartland values against the hippie counterculture: We don't smoke marijuana in MuskogeeWe don't take our trips on LSDWe don't burn our draft cards down on Main StreetWe like living right and being free.

We are exhausted by the prospect of having to stand up on a pedestal and grant absolution to those who are too arrogant to even demand absolution to begin with, as Weinstein made it abundantly clear he was in his flippant apology to The New York Times, which weirdly name-dropped both Jay-Z and NRA president Wayne LaPierre.

And while not every AI language model using these new techniques is named after a Muppet (OpenAI's well-traveled GPT-2 is one exception, though "Snuffleupagus, or Snuffy for short" was considered as a name before being rejected as too flippant), it's a pretty sure thing that if you see a Muppetware model you know what approaches it's using.

The context of Tillerson's insult wasn't a small thing, either: According to NBC News, it came after a situation-room meeting in which the president was said to be so flippant, about such serious geopolitical issues, that one anonymous adviser told a reporter, "Maybe we need to slow down a little and explain the whole world" — to the president of the United States.

Prior versions of Facebook's advertising API allowed apps to access extensive information on the friends of people who used them without their consent; Cambridge Analytica's decision to partner with Kogan to gather data for their own purposes may have technically been a violation of Facebook policy, but at the end of the day both firms took a flippant approach to user privacy that left millions angry.

"I think his work is extremely emotional, subjective, very tied up with his own personal fears — his fear of death is very strong — and I find his pieces moving and not at all flippant," Bowie said, adding that Hirst once invited him to make one of those rainbow works, a process that involved Bowie dressing up like an alien before throwing paint on a canvas.

But the broader point though, I think is that when it comes to the question of interest, investment in London, security in London with the FBI and CIA liaison offices there who do an incredible amount of work to support the British counterterrorism effort, no London mayor who seriously values the service of his city or her city, or the country, would come out with these flippant lines against the president.

Not to be flippant about what I'm sure was a difficult personal experience, but from the outside, reading about how she brushed off the defense attorney's sexist and victim blame-y questions like they were a bothersome flea she was deigning to deal with ("The only person who would have a direct eye line is someone laying underneath my skirt and we didn't have anyone positioned there") felt empowering and raw.

It sounds flippant to say that now, and it is, but there's truth to it, too; through all the late nights, inside jokes, booming amplifiers, big crowds and small ones, treacherous snowy roads, scorching desert drives, fights pitting Wendy's against Arby's, truck stop shenanigans, backyard barbeques, and hours of sleep snatched on couches, floors, and, eventually, hotel rooms, we always had fun, and that fun almost always started with a shot or a chug.

After all, if you understand why using the anniversary of 9/11 to sell mattresses in a commercial with mock collapsing Twin Towers was inappropriately flippant about the loss of human life that occurred with the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, you should be able to understand why using a twist on Black Lives Matter or marketing a product to express an unrelated opinion or make a joke is similarly disgusting.

But in addition to a whole host of noise performers wrangling pedals and electronics, a surprising amount of performers also picked up traditional instruments, slinging the sort of hazy but very recognizably rock riffs that Black Dice would soon release on L.I.E.S.. When John Olson—saxophonist and electronics torturer for Wolf Eyes—coined the genre Trip Metal in a 2014 interview, it seemed a flippant joke (especially since he's now favoring the term Psychojazz on Twitter).

A quote from the show 13 Reasons Why, where the central character sets up the narrative about her suicide, was memed into oblivion, but in these videos it comes across as more flippant than homage: Musers pissed off the ever-level headed Rick and Morty fandom with their cosplay videos, and while they're not exactly the height of cosplay-as-art, they're just kids having fun with something they like: That meme made it onto Rick and Morty as a meta-joke, where Morty threatens to kill himself over Musical.

In a more flippant attack on idiotic innovation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has taken it upon itself to bestow a new idea with a 'Stupid Patent of the Month Award' since 22015, to highlight the urgent need for patent reform in the US. So without further ado, here are the EFF's nominations for the 212 stupidest patents of 27: JANUARY: Updating Grass in Video Games This patent is for a "Method and System for Increased Realism in Video Games," which its owner, a patent troll called White Knuckle, has used to file a lawsuit against Electronic Arts for infringing on its invention in January.
