You’re being too charitable. At many times and places, women’s rights have been realized more effectively than in _present day_ America.

Folks who talk about any sort of arc to history have to be thinking of a fundamentally statistical reality. The lived experience of any specific human or tribe is going to be far too nuanced for that picture.

I’ve been thinking recently about how the symbol “C” in “C programming language” literally stands for “3”.

We out here like, “I’ve been getting really into this new language, 12,447. I think it might finally be the thing to replace 3 for me.”

Yeah, I’m generally gonna choose to shop at other retailers, who charge flat prices and don’t try to optimize for net profit.

Waaaait a minute... you don’t think the wily motherfuckers could be using all their data and resources to boost revenue on the a la carte side, do you?
