There's also conflation with the number of "chunks" we can hold in mind at a time, which is often estimated at about seven things. But that doesn't mean we don't comprehend what eight is.

Numbers are DEEP. You can't just know things about a number, you have to discover them empirically, experimentally. Every number has essentially infinite properties and you can't know everything about a number, but you get a familiarity with them. Still, even the simplest numbers have the capacity to surprise in the right context.

That is not a meaningful difference. Copyright law doesn't grant fair use exceptions if you're not trying to piss anyone off. Think about it like a grown up for a moment. They are both unauthorized uses that erode Watterson's control of his property.

Ahh, so white men are finally developing some social awareness. That's excellent news, thank you for sharing, Fox.

The farmer commits atrocity on their cattle, this seems more than fair.

Back in the day, employers built housing and street cars to connect them to work.

It's an investment for you but it's an expense for your clients. It's an investment for you because if you sell it, you're not homeless. You can realize the return on investment. I'm a poor person who is fortunate enough to own my home. It doesn't make sense for me to think of my home as an investment because I can never realize the return.

If I need to buy a pacemaker or an artificial heart for however many hundreds of thousands of dollars, you would call that an investment. That's absurd.

Ok. People are already dying. The market is being artificially held high to keep Boomer's investment portfolio in the black. People are going to keep dying until real estate turns over to the next generation and the market crashes. Let's just cut to the chase.
