I like American music. Do you like American music? I like American music, too.
Other versions of me:

buttermilk biscuit cut in half with butter and a slice of spinach & onion omelet
alternately when in season, a thin slice of toasted multigrain with thick slices of heirloom tomato and two eggs fried over hard, optionally fresh torn basil
but a PB&J on wheat is also a fine breakfast


I like punk for chopping, rock and pop for sautéing, and folk for baking, but it’s a lot of a lot of different things. As long as it matches the tempo of what I’m doing with my hands it’s all good.

A task / to do organizer that:
intelligently populates a “do today” list while handling dependancies and scheduling
is editable and viewable by multiple people, has individual tasks for each user, and also pulls from a list of shared tasks
keeps a record of when and by who previous tasks were completed
is capable of but does not require integration with calendar, fitness tracker, and messaging


Donathan Montgomery Augustus Dickle, what did you DO?

It’s less “women are too weak” and more “the point if war is to kill off excess young men so there’s more young women available for powerful older men”

I’d say a centralist is someone who wants things centralized.
But yes, some people describe themselves as centrist when they mean “I don’t view my positions as extreme but neither do I care to justify them”.
And some people describe themselves as centrist when they’re politically apathetic.
And some people describe themselves as centrist when they have a grab bag of views and don’t feel they fit neatly in the right or left wing.
And some people describe themselves as centrist because they’re contrary and can’t bring themselves to agree with anybody.
And, very rarely, there are people who describe themselves as centrist because they are in the process of changing their mind.


I feel like you learned something about the use of language from the replies to the first draft of this post, but I notice you did not retain my correction re: “net” positive.


Okay, three things, least important first:
Using “net” positive already refers to comparing it against the negative. If you want just the positive before comparison, use “gross”.
Second, there is no positive to eugenics. There are hypothetical gains to make but they are unrealizable. This is because the mechanisms to decide who gets to reproduce will immediately be corrupted. Immediately. Every time.
And finally, the negatives are huge. Personal anguish, public unrest, widespread violation of civil rights depending on how draconian you make your regime, the downsides are huge and certain.
So unrealizable and uncertain gains at the a huge and certain price: No. No eugenics.
If you want to personally have lots of children with smart, beautiful, talented people, well, get in line.
It’s a meme from before the Internet. I learned it from my parents, who knows where they got it.

No, if anything I sound warmer, because most of what I know is social niceties.

Not all of us, though. Science can be an end unto itself.
