Own the libs. That's the whole thing.

Bentham developed hedonistic calculus. The foundation is a multivariate ethical vector space. He rationalized hedonism to the extreme. The passions are explicitly tempered for a calculated greater good.

What I read is his friends identified him as economically leftist, but took issue with identity politics

Huh, just noticed that.

I'd wager the "Delay, deny, depose" part had less to do with her arrest than the "You people are next" part.

Yeah, the one good part of it

I dabble in comics and manga too, so I prefer the full screen to an e-ink display. It's also nice for videos.

I just got a foldable. The increase in functionality of reading on my phone is substantial, and that's such a big fraction of my phone use that I consider it worthwhile. I wouldn't be as productive if I had to carry a bulky e-reader with me all the time, it's incredibly convenient to be able to fold it up and put it in my pocket.

It's a bit heavier, but I got used to it quickly. My old phone feels suspiciously light now, like a toy. The expense is certainly a factor, but for me the utility is worth it in the long run. It's not for everyone, but there are people it makes sense for.

I think they interviewed people in his circles, and I think a friend flippantly noticed it was kinda ironic that they played Among Us with someone who went on to actually assassinate someone, and now the media is twisting that into the standard "video games cause violence" bugbear.

The tipped minimum wage in the US is far less than 96% of non-tipped. Federally it's more like 70% of standard minimum wage, in my state it's about 75%.

If your justification for a behavior is that it's fine because all the people who don't behave that way will compensate, your behavior is unjustified.
