I upvote if I want to see the answers regardless.

My first crush did a stint in rehab and now is a cat lady on an industrial scale, park rangering at a wildlife animal rescue preserve.

Just Sinners. And, uh, Heathers. Not that different, really.

you’re speaking my love language

Avcados need salt and acid to be good. Next time try in a salad with a sharp dressing; or just cubed with lime juice, chili powder, and salt. It’s amazing added to a bowl (but not the pot!) of chicken soup.

Should I know what a “photocard” is?

She is just as cute as a button. I love hearing her laugh… or sneeze! It’s so cute like a baby kitten would sneeze. She’s also so incredibly compassionate that it’s almost distressing. And of course, she’s an amazing cook. All in all, I’m a lucky dude, and I know it.

Yes, that’s a normal way to feel about surviving injuries and hardship. Not the only normal way, but a normal way.

It’s only funny if they’re in on the joke.

those who truly value great service tend to tip more than average, and everyone else adjusts upward to match them

That is to say, there are a few people who we can clearly recognize as acting more thoughtful, respectful, and considerate and we ape them in hope of gaining some of the same social status, resetting the social norm over time.

You’ve got a bit of circular reasoning going on there: Homeschool is inferior because it leads to lower income averages but then income matters so much that an education that doesn’t increase it as much must be inferior.

Look, I’m not a homeschooling stan. I just don’t like bad logic or incentivizing antisocial behaviors. We probably agree on, like, 99% of this and my nitpick about half a sentence is a blip comparatively.

It was the tour for Earth vs. the Pipettes

Both have a somewhat idealized view of human nature, specifically vis-a-vis power vacuums.

But there are in fact both right- and left-libertatians. Right-libertarians more-or-less see people as a kind of business and think the government shouldn’t get in the way of businesses unless they’re engaged in unfair anti-competitive practices, because competition is the highest good. Left-libertatians see corporations as more-or-less hostile but useful entities that should be yoked to human interests, and that this kind of regulation is the role of government while leaving human individual behavior completely unregulated, because human liberty is the highest good.

Whereas anarchism is pretty much orthogonal to any economic axis. Ideally, there’s no entity to regulate economic forces and there’s no central currency, so who gets regulated and for what reason is an absent question. Corporations can’t exist under anarchism because they’re so clearly a predatory hierarchy that frankly I’m surprised we even allow them in regular society.

So, uh, teal dear long-story-short, no, they’re incompatible world views because libertarianism presupposes power structures abhorrent to anarchism.

Edited to fix a typo that significantly changed the meaning of a sentence.

Being poor sucks. But above fairly low baseline, income level signifies antisocial tendencies more than hard work, education, or intelligence.

pierogi, duh

fine

wasn’t much of a breakup but then it wasn’t much of a relationship

They headlined a show my wife’s favorite local band was opening. I’d definitely see them again if they did another stateside tour.

I have to object to using income level as metric of success.

It’s a tool parents have to improve their child’s education, but it can also be abused to damage the child’s education. The state has an interest in regulating it and making sure children receiving it are still meeting educational benchmarks.

I think it works best in tandem with public schooling rather than as a replacement, but I know most people talk about it strictly as an opposing option.
