@PerBylund It's *a* definition (see any and every dictionary). And most definitions conflate money with currency and wealth. Plus it doesn't actually explain anything.

[the other Tom @uberbaud]

@PerBylund ... kind of. Not at all from yours. Trying to explain what money is and why it works requires some wording that comes with caveats.

[the other Tom @uberbaud]

@PerBylund ... I must wait to get the thing I prefer. My willingness to wait and my belief that I can eventually get what I want is what money is. Is that a "claim to resources"? Not exactly but kind of. When I trade you my money for your resources is that a redemption? From my perspective—

@Reed_Coverdale A distinction without a difference.

@thephatic @gabrielmalor When the blooms start to fall, grab someone you enjoy and go sit under a cherry tree. It's more beautiful than snow.

@SteveStuWill It would, I think, depend on the ability of their predators to see color. Plus the ability of birds to travel significant distances makes camouflage less an option as they don't have only a single habitat to which they need conform.

@justinamash Don't be silly. The "leaders" didn't craft it. And they don't know what's in it either. Each only knows that they're getting approximately what they wanted.

@AlecStapp *says they think. Many people will "rally 'round" when they feel the group is threatened regardless of their personal inclinations.

@jenna_payne This is the absolute truth.

@JSONbourne_ All of the above. In quick succession. Usually but not always in that order. Sometimes one or more will repeat.

@pmarca Excuse me, but Cosmos were invented by gay men for gay men. You're just lucky we share.

@gabrielmalor Or ¿better?, take control of your life by learning stoicism. We can't control what happens to us but we can control how we respond to it. Finding peace in ourselves is much more powerful than searching for it in our surroundings.

@runarorama @unisonweb I'm guessing that Text is a string of Chars, but it is unclear what a Char is. Is it
1) a single Unicode Codepoint,
2) a Codepoint and any Combining Characters, or
3) all the Codepoints which together form a single glyph (possibly multiple #2 interleaved with zero-width joiners)?
