I don’t have an opinion.

I’m not sure what “strict” means in this sentence, but I make my money with my mouth, yeah.

I’d rather say something clever than accurate or useful… and often do.

I just mean I don’t have musicians already ranked by that quality, since it’s not something I seek out.

It won’t be fun. It will be work. I was saying that from the beginning. It’s a task without end, but still worthwhile.

Taj Mahal, I guess, or Raffi… but I don’t listen to music to feel safe

Some heirarchies (my personal opinion now) are both natural and desirable: parent and child, teacher and student.

Many are harmful, and should be removed, no matter how “natural”.

I wouldn’t say “hardwired to create heirarchies” so much as there’s a tendency, in any case.

It’s so frustrating. Neoliberalism is explicitly a postliberal ideology.

Of those two? Christian Democrats, I guess. But there are ideologies far to the right of anarchocapitalists (eg. neomonarchists) and far to the left of libertarian socialists (eg. communists), and anyway political ideologies don’t map well to a single- or even dual-axis graph. You need axes for economic model, rights vs. authority, and stability vs. innovation at a minimum.

There’s a natural tendency towards heirarchies, but “natural” doesn’t mean “necessary” and it definitely doesn’t mean “desirable”. To create and maintain a better world takes work, and part of that is dismantling “natural”, but harmful, heirarchies (eg. the physically strong dominating the physically weak).

I’ve had a personal blog since the previous millennium. My primary subs on reddit were “Ask” communities, two of which I was so active in I went on to mod them. I post under my real name. I am not shy.

I don’t put anything online I wouldn’t say out loud in real life, though. That’s my limit.

Similarly eating at work, but my workplace provides a hot meal (though not necessarily time to eat it while it’s still hot).

Quality goes downhill. We’re far above mere adequacy right now.

I wash them after three uses and use them until they fall apart.

I teach English and Math and do manual labor on the side.

some indie publishers sell PDFs of comics, or include them free when you buy the physical copy

In general, buying straight from the publisher or artist gets the best results for all media.

Not safe, but a lot less unsafe than acetaminophen.

do I have to

Not at all! But tacos de lengua are basically the perfect hangover food.

In my life, I usually bounce them out of the bar and tell them not to come back.

For you, give him some ibuprofen (NOT acetaminophen) and lots of water and put him to bed. Serve him a breakfast of braise beef tongue and hope for the best.

That sounds pretty upper-class anywhere, I would think.
