That is always the foundation. The axiomatic ground.

How do you control the spin of an electron?

The best language is complete, succinct, orderly and clear. And never adds a single goddamn thing ever.

Rural IL here. Full of conservatives.

Nobody here cares if you are trans. Couldn’t care less.

Never met a school church shooter either.

The center of the bell curve. The most popular of popular media. The true fast food. Probably not.

Because being rich frees you from many of the stresses and concerns that define the populace. Your tastes are different then.

The edger case? Sure. Good art is good art, no matter how rich you are.

You can’t make better people and better cattle at the same time.

Imagine you were a billionaire. Which do you want?

Disney World.

Yes, that’s bad.

I think you’re wrong there. I think that the glands make aggression and that we’d be less aggressive without them. Not to mention various related obsessions.

You can’t think of a way to enjoy the benefits without suffering that liability?

It’s called “genderful appropriation”. I just invented it. All the cool people will be getting offended by it really soon.

I build fences. 3 out of 4 words is fuck.

Ugh. Too emotional. Too rhetorical.

Language evolves with every generation, yes. But I offered something different from that.

We talk less about reality now. We talk more about talking.

I don’t care about the details. I just want an out-group to hate on.

I just recently heard it used that way. To describe “conservatives”. Much like “yikes” I guess. They assign a new meaning to it and thus it is so.

Words are different these days. Like, words used to have a secondhand association with reality. But now it’s thirdhand.
