What was exceptional about the US was its ability to integrate so many different cultures into a single civic identity, which allowed it to grow to a size utterly unrivaled by the imperial *cores* of any European power (even Russia). This does not erase the horrific abuses Blacks faced.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

if you notice quasisymmetric behavior in your mirror, your first priority is to remain calm. do not acknowledge the aberration in the presence of the mirror. do not allow your eyes to linger on the aberration. navigate to a mirror-free room before calling the hotline.

dead grandma AI is technically a ghost and the valid uses of ghosts were fully enumerated by shakespeare. if your first reaction to a ghost isn't 'spare me dear ghost' you are not ghosting right imo
(would also accept dickens 'fix your hearts or die' type ghosts)
no 90s casper though

America's safety net is gossamer thin, but I know that had I been born elsewhere, I would be dead by now. We are being led by a cadre of spoiled, ignorant Darwinists who do not realize that they have not survived because they are special or hardier, but because of wealth handed down to them.

tech "gift from a mobster" it is
the "tech debt" metaphor primes people for bad intuitions
debts have a strict lending schedule, and refinancing if you're in a pinch
debtors don't wake up Tuesday at 3am and set part of your business afire unless you pay them off
the only part that really fits is the carrying cost
