I’m just saying that unless unfurling it would rotate it horizontally, the “kick” will remain on the right and looks like it would be meant to be viewed by those up “there,” behind the sign.

Also, unless the image is flipped, the text is meant for viewers on the opposite side from the camera.

I’m familiar with every large “delivery app” service, and none involve a situation where the driver fronts their personal money. That’s ridiculous. The app service gives the driver a credit card for situations where in-person payment is required.
Reminds me of “The Persuaders.” Great book. This comes from a Guardian review on it:
By far the most fascinating and potentially useful case study is that of Anat Shenker-Osorio, the communications strategist for progressive causes, whose tactics, pegged to the data, have exposed a lot of shortfalls in leftwing political campaigning. Shenker-Osorio points out that when people get frightened, they skew right; when they feel compassion and common cause with their fellow humans, they skew left.
Similar words, both would work. Look them up if you’re interested. Exponent connotes more of a “believer” to me, whereas the proponent is an advocate.
A person who believes in and promotes the truth or benefits of an idea or theory.
I think you’re about to cook them.
The trial, which will take place at Kyoto University Hospital from September to August 2025, will treat 30 males aged 30-64 who are missing at least one molar.
Well, an assumed connection between legality and morality is perhaps part of the disconnect.
Having sex with 16 and 17 year olds is not morally wrong *simply because they are legally considered minors and you an adult.
Having sex with 16 and 17 year olds is considered morally wrong, by some, because the state of their mental maturity is often far below that of an adult even 5 years older. Consider the biological “growth” of the human brain; having not fully developed, their behavioral maturity follows suit. This means their ability to reason, their ability to act in their own best interest, is less than your own. At a certain level of disparity, this imbalance is usually considered “taking advantage” of someone. Asking them to do things they have less an ability to understand than yourself starts to look a lot like coercion.

I think it could very well be dissolving at least a coating. I would use more dilute IPA. 👍
Believe it or not, there have been well-reasoned, aptly articulated arguments against capitalism delivered by earnest, enlightened people (and members of every class), delivered chiefly out of compassion for their fellow man, for over 200 years.
Anti-capitalism sentiment is in no way a transient sensation. It’s clear from your comments you aren’t well-read on the subject, and I don’t mean that as an insult; with some even-keeled reading of relevant works rather than knee-jerk dismissal of all criticism of capitalism as people looking for something to “blame for their woes,” you will undoubtedly have a better grasp on the world and your own position in it.
Also, I can barely eat 6 spiders in one sitting.
6 orders of spiders, maybe.
We’ve all made the embarrassing mistake of ordering 6 orders of spiders, thinking it was 6 individual spiders, and succumbing to a ego belly encumbered with as many as 36 spiders for sake of seeming ignorant of how spider restaurants work. And since it’s usually a mistake made on nascent visits in unfamiliar cultural territory, we’re already acting inured to the strangeness of eating raw spiders, so it’s often a double-whammy.
Yes! Thank you for the interesting look at Étienne de La Boétie. Deleuze wrote Spinoza: Practical Philosophy and it’s pretty cool.
The Spinoza quote? As far as I understand it, it could actually be Deleuze paraphrasing Spinoza, perhaps Tractatus Theologico-Politicus, or maybe better said as “Deleuze’ translation of Spinoza.”
Spinoza asked “why do people fight for their servitude as if it were their salvation?”
Fear, and superstition; ideology. Under certain circumstances, the masses want fascism.
When the left buys in to the game of fear, hatred, passivity, and superstition - a game turbocharged by social media - we become complicit.
"Instead of politics, we engage in chatter. And it is a sad chatter, whose prevailing form is denunciation. The practice of denunciation debases the multitude. In the place of action, it accepts hatred, which merely externalizes the sadness of passivity; in the place of agency, it accepts fear, and pleads for security; in place of the collective democratic subject, it accepts the superstitious mob.
Superstitious mobs can only serve tyrants, as Spinoza knew well. We now face a new theocracy of our own making, one which through the chatter of social media decomposes our powers and makes politics impossible."
