At this point, isn't that a sophistic argument since we don't have the means to ban specific people from owning specific breeds?

I think you literally just described to secret to a content and fulfilled life.

In the plus side, the older people got a lot of stuff sorted out in advance, worth appreciating if only to keep a clear perspective

Yeah, I feel like he took something like paladin as a prestige class

The irony of this headline. She has a name!

I did not know until this moment that this was a thing for enbys or how true it is. I immediately want to go buy pirate clothes.

Middle mouse click on the folder will also open all bookmarks in that folder. It's how I begin each working day

Also, it's not a cube.

We are being lied to.

I saw this film. They all get eaten by giant worms.

Yes it is. Evidence is against you on this point when we're talking about population level behaviours, individuals vary of course which includes you

Not that experienced people are less able to consider other opinions, simply that when we're younger we depend more on volatile social acceptance metrics combined with having had less time to firmly establish our own preferences.

I think the only reason to respect someone is for what they do.

What better measure is there, even if job is only part of that? better to form my opinion of people for what they do rather than the traditional historical measures.

As a freelancer, I charge a high daily rate, even more complex measurements!

Nope. That's a young person's game

Or cheers was a place for LARPers to meet and play at being Starfleet officers

Yeah, it does seem to be going to extremes in some places, especially with the extremists in the USA

Conservatism may look irrational, outdated and destructive. In fact I'm fairly confident it is all those things *right now * in many places.

Look bigger though, imagine why it exists.

It is the natural end point of any push for change. Any system that manifests in the world will inevitably be challenged by further future. Each revolution is faced with the next one.

It is inevitable that when a system comes to dominance there are those who wish to preserve and conserve it, all the energy that was put into change is focused on conserving the system.

The problem is the context keeps changing and the revolution never fits reality for long.

First chance I get. Probably on a lazy afternoon.

Waffles are a treat, great with sweet things like fruit and cream and syrup!

French toast is amazing, ketchup, sausage, tasty!

Pancakes, I want to like them but I feel a bit sickly after them...

A lot of that specific brand of conservatism is very American. While everywhere has conservatives, and I totally agree they're build on a foundation of personal fear, they have very different presentations in different places!
