    That is the standard of the love triangle. The two love rivals have to be friends with, or at least know, each other or else there is no tension between them for their love of the 2nd party. Or else every person talking to multiple people on dating apps is in a love n-gon. And love should never intersext with n-gons.

    “Investing in increasing earning potential” takes forms other than throwing money, including going to school, hiring trainers, or managing your physical and/or mental wellbeing. All things that would be precluded by the assumption of indolence UBI detractors try to stir up a panic about.




  • The be/amusement is at the appropriation some teens (unwittingly) do. Presenting something well-observed and well-documented as a novel thought is laughable. If an acquaintance walked up to you and said “I’ve just figured out fire is dangerous and people not liking you back makes you sad” you’d either laugh or worry they’d taken brain damage.

    But, in fairness, you don’t and shouldn’t have to cram citations into every social media post. And we also could probably do better about giving kids the mindset and the resources to research things that interest them so they don’t have badly reinvent the wheel every adolescence.

    Huh? Yeah, he’s unpopular but voter turnout is such arse, that there is rarely a blowout capable of preventing electors from playing silly buggers with counts.

    If he’s dead, who inherits his mantle and has a likely shot at getting enough popular votes that US fascists can pretend they won but were narrowly cheated?


  • You have to agree that there are at least two types of active, “militant” vegan: the ecological vegan, who focuses on the many global issues arising from the international meat industry, and the meat moralists, who are focused more on the immorality of meat consumption at all.

    One of those is leaning toward control.
