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

I mean, that’s what we’re all hoping for, surely?

Doesn’t seem like a problem to me.

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’d like it if there were little indications about whether post OP upvoted or downvoted a comment, and whether the author of a comment I’m replying to upvoted or downvoted my reply.

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.

Isn’t it Ionic? Don’t you think?

Same as every year since 2017: Stand up to racism whenever I see it.

How’d it go? There’s a lot of racism out there, but I think I did okay.

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

Shucks, I was hoping this would be about architecture.

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

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

No. We change how we present but that doesn’t make those presentations “false” or what we don’t share more “true”.

The issues are twofold:

A) you’re making it so commentors are split between answering your question and addressing your answer, and

2] you’re setting up a “correct” answer and making it seem the reason you asked the question was to promote your own views.
