They tend to be more authoritarian. That means they're more likely to prioritize in-group above all else.

There's a book about authoritarian personalities I was reading a while ago. It talks about an experiment where they did like a model UN, but secretly sorted all the authoritarian types into one game and everyone else into the other.

The authoritarians ruined the world. Like, nuclear war. When they got a do-over, they still fucked it up.

The other group basically cooperated and solved world hunger.

Authoritarians probably shouldn't be allowed in positions of power. The GOP attracts a lot of them.

I would also accept a "pay what you want" system. Wasting money on enforcement of $3 fares is idiotic.

Every night he jumps onto the computer keyboard until it beeps. I tried turning the computer off and he turned it on somehow.

I don't know why. It's after I've fed him. I always pick him up and bring him to the bedroom after.

This is bad. I'm so tired of people doing bad things. Stop undermining public education you donkeys.

Meanwhile, one of the 3 guys at work is working nights and weekends for free. He's salary. I keep telling him to go outside and live life. Stop giving everything away to the owners. He doesn't listen. He thinks he's going to save the company. I'm like buddy if those extra hours are all that's between success and failure, the company's fucked. That's flu away from disaster. He doesn't listen.

Unknown Armies is a tabletop RPG that has a school of magic predicated on a. Being drunk all the time and b. Drinking out of really cool cups.

Post reminded me of that. Good game (though I only know 2nd edition)

New Jersey is fine. A lot of north jersey is overshadowed by NYC being right there. One of my friends moved here from florida, and one of her friends was like "Why don't you move to jersey city? it's cheaper" and she went "I didn't move to new york to live in new jersey". But even if you do live just outside the city and none of your friends want to visit, you're still a short train ride away from it.

I don't know as much about south jersey, but, like, it's fine. And unlike, I don't know, Iowa, you can usually get on a train to a world class city.

I also cannot recommend her novels The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed.

I hope you meant you can recommend them. They're both very good.

I liked the dispossessed a lot

I don't think you can eat deep dish pizza with one hand while riding the subway quite so easily.

I imagine it's because the Republican party is "absolutely evil turds" and the Democratic party is "everyone else". Unfortunately, "everyone else" includes some farts and sharts, too.

Holy shit. I had no idea.
