@StumpGuyTy Yep back when I was in grad school, pregnant, and tutoring, one of the parents I tutored for was seemingly offended that I got a new (used) car.
Very grateful for the kind words from @L0m3z. Parsifal Books exists because we believe the great books still matter and independent bookstores like ours can only endure through the support of serious readers and friends. If you’d like to help us keep building, my DMs are open.
Physicist: 31, 331, 3331, 33331, 333331, 3333331, and 33333331 are all prime, so the pattern must continue.
Mathematician: Careful, patterns can be deceptive. You need a rigorous proof for such a claim.
Data scientist: None of this is making any money

I never paid much attention to Charlie Kirk, he seemed very America focused & I am not American, & I find the "OWNED! DESTROYED!" type video titles really off-putting. I'd completely missed that he interviewed Kara Dansky & Richie Herron, a radical feminist & a gay man I admire.
Now, since his murder, I see lots of people saying he was racist, homophobic, a misogynist, & a fascist...but these seem to be people who never knew him personally, sometimes sharing tiny clips with no context.
When I look around I see:
Black people saying he treated them well, is this what a racist does?
Same sex attracted people saying he treated them well, is this what a homophobe does?
Women, with various political beliefs, saying he treated them well, is this what a misogynist does?
Am I supposed to believe that all of this was acting? A ruse? A clever masterplan, hiding his true evil bigoted face, & all these people have fallen for it?
Because that seems not only far-fetched & paranoid but rather condescending, infantilising, an act of removing agency from people of the marginalised groups you fetishise because they do not agree with you...one might say racist, homophobic, & misogynistic.
The other thing I see are videos of Charlie Kirk himself, again & again saying we have to talk to each other, respectfully, despite our differences, otherwise we foster a culture which will lead to violence...is this what a fascist does?
Because I do not think so, I think the fascists are the ones who kill their political opponents to stop them having a voice.
@Griffit15999943@annaironside@StefanMolyneux I could have written this, but it was adjacent property to her house. My son said “grandma can we live beside you?” And she said “if you have enough money.”
