effectiveness is a bit anecdotal but yeah pretty much!

internet piracy is one of the most unambiguously beneficial technologies in human history

we’re fundamentally not real people to them. people deserve rights. we’re a game of pretend they get bonus points for humoring

"did you cum?"

my dear...is a song beautiful only at the end? do we watch a sunset to see the darkness? is a story only valuable because of the climax?

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

the autistic plight of quizzes never quite holding enough nuance for context/interpretation (tho this one did cover for a lot of that by making each question twofold)

i bet there are better answers than my thoughts, but i think a lot of that valid pressure is alleviated by navigating where to go in pre-talk. there's also a possible amount of elbow room in simply allowing a subject to savor/magnify their depth.
