Reading paper books.

So, in this hypothetical we have a time machine, and can see not just if Dems lose but also what the consequences of that loss are. Further GOP court-packing? Loss of human rights for other vulnerable groups? Or maybe just a continuation of the status quo? With the time machine, we would know. Because the Dems winning or losing is not a good or evil in itself, but the consequences could be.

But, real word time now, we can't know all the consequences of our actions. We should always try to achieve the best results we can, of course, but you can't do something you know is wrong (like stay silent on trans rights) in the hopes that an evil now will lead to a greater good later, or prevent a greater evil. That's my take, but what else can you expect from a virtue ethicist?

Definitely not normal in the US, either.

That's what I thought!

Best Coast is very fun.

Sounds great! I'll keep adding tracks as I think of them. Liked that Astropol track, BTW.

Jenny Lewis — "Head Underwater"

Cordelia's Dad — "Little Speckled Egg"

Cracker — "Guarded by Monkeys"

Freelance Whales — "Generator ^ First Floor"

Minus the Bear — "Let's Play Guitar in a Five Guitar Band"

You're gonna share the playlist when you're done, right?

This one might be too mainstream, but:

Iron & Wine — "Woman King"

Thanks for the pointers! I appreciate you taking the time.

It needs something to provide crunch, as a textural counterpoint to the warm softness of the bun and patty. Lettuce, raw onion, potato chips each work, just pick ONE.

It needs acidic elements to cut the fatty richness. Mustard, pickles, fresh tomato, these you can double up on.

It needs a patty that holds together. I love a blackbean burger but most of them fall apart, might as well call it a blackbean sloppy joe.

It needs to fit in my mouth without squirting condiments out the other side.

It needs catsup, independent of all other requirements. You cannot leave off or replace the catsup.

caves, walls, shadows

Was it ever?

It's still making sound, you just can't hear it over the roar of the air pump
