well, congress passes the budget. the president then implements it. the president can do a lot by executive order unless congress passes a law against it or the Supreme Court finds it unconstitutional. it's not a vague relationship really, it's quite combative.

um--I like favoring posts as a way of saying, "Saw this, I appreciate you posting it". It's about communication. I never lived on Twitter, so the idea that favoring a post is exhibitionism is not how I think.

Yeah, gender is definitely a dynamic process over a lifetime, not a "set it and forget it" option.

Finishing up the first season of #Psycho-Pass I think I missed some dialogue because I was pondering this statement by the main character--"The law does not protect humans. Humans protect the law." There is SO much to unpack from that it's like a freakin' random forest machine... The main character was talking quite deeply about humans' desire for a better world, and how the law that humans create reflects their desire for a better world, which is so fragile. But my mind of course went to the abuses of the law, broadly speaking, and the horrible things we do to each other in the name of the law. It was slightly dizzying to remember that humans have always wanted a better world, and the law is one expression of that, as flawed as it is, and even though what "a better world" means is so different from one person to another. It did give me pause, and also some hope.#anime

I'm just starting in on it--I miss Kogami but I'm interested in how the dynamics of the changed relationships are playing out... 😉

Well, it depends... Generally, I don't care. But pictures of naked people suffering--starving, maimed, with nasty diseases, etc.--I would prefer not to have those go by without a CW. Happy folks consensually naked (over the age of 21)? No problem!

Y'know I read that as boomers, and I was wondering why you were commenting on divorce rates in 70 year olds... 😉 But zoomers, got it...

#japanese today I learned how to say "All your base are belong to us" in Japanese--thank you, Duolingo!! 🤣 It's actually something quite grammatical originally, but it's still darned funny to run into it.

Did they go back to Twitter? My sweetie was saying that they came over with a lot of people from Twitter who all found over time that they couldn't find people here, didn't get the engagement, didn't find the conversations here that they had there, and have dropped off. Sadly, going back to Twitter isn't a solution, because Twitter no longer provides that either.

A Japan trip, for long enough (not sure how long that is, but they won't let me retire there)...

I log in to try to update a post and now I'm completely derailed... It IS sad that strategies like that need to be common knowledge. And maddening.

Huh. I thought questions like "what time is it on the sun" is what makes philosophy playful, while introducing people to the idea that concepts like "what time is it" are not as clear cut as they think they are. Delving into what it means to ask what time it is in another framework leads to understanding different perspectives and how to disentangle these ideas. Why tradition has value or evaluating the cost of tolerance is a much more threatening application of the same approach. (But I'm not a philosopher.)

We've started leaving it out on the counter and surprisingly have not had any trouble with it going rancid, which I thought for sure it would do.

I always ask it because I tend to think I'm being clear when I'm not, and I have to give people a chance to say, "Say that again?"
