Two things that are necessary are both necessary. That doesn’t mean one collapses into the other.

> Melanoheliophobia Tangential, but this being a nearly word-for-word translation of “black hole fear” made me realize how odd it is that we insist on latinizing these things.

Information wasn’t what those voters lacked.

50%? No, that’s for high wages . And previous taxation is irrelevant: we as a society get to choose what is taxed, and there’s no inherent reason why only a single tax should apply…

Of course it’s not a given as to any particular person, but regardless, it’s the right presumption. And yes, of course there are things outside your control. Is that really “equall…

For what it’s worth, I don’t think there’s much about Gleam’s design that is specific to “the functional patterns the BEAM was built for.” If you’re getting stuck in abstraction he…
