Petition for more websites to have a policy like Wikipedia, e.g., where anyone can easily download an entire copy of the site for offline use.

It's always annoying when a work of fiction presents a "revelation" that you didn't even realize was supposed to not be known. In Jennifer Government, there's a bit where this guy is infiltrating the villainous organization having copied the identity of a member of that organization. He meets a guy whose name is the same as his cover name, and a bit later he suddenly discovers that this is the person he's disguised as! In one Ghost in the Shell episode, they're looking through the pictures taken by a murder victim -- in a world where cybernetic implants are common, and which are clearly taken from his eyes rather than a camera -- and then much much later one of these crack professional detectives realizes that there's no camera and this is the key clue he needs to blow open the case. Even if I might buy someone from our time missing that, this guy lives in a world where such things are commonplace! How does he not realize this?

Like Freud, Lacan regards hysteria as one of the two main forms of neurosis, the other being obsessional neurosis. Whereas obsessional neurosis concerns the question of the subject's existence, hysteria concerns the question of the subject's sexual position. This question may be phrased "Am I a man or a woman?" or, more precisely, "What is a woman?" Lacan thus reaffirms the ancient view that there is an intimate connection between hysteria and femininity. Indeed, most hysterics are women, just as most obsessional neurotics are men. The structure of desire, as desire of the Other, is shown more clearly in hysteria than in any other clinical structure; the hysteric is precisely someone who appropriates another's desire by identifying with them.

If we think hard and cooperate with one another, we can make Slytherin great again, but only if we try really, really hard.

way more meta than you, OP. all jobs involve a cartesian plane. all thought/philosophy is math. even waiting tables is math. mathematicians have simply formalized the domain by minting and using the appropriate symbols. qed

The cool thing about doing math professionally is that you can work anywhere - on your walks, in the shower, as you fall asleep - just by rotating problems in your head. What's not so cool is that this drives you insane

I totally understand why people don't want to live in subsidised housing, @isaacsapphire. It's for the same reason homeless people don't want to sleep in homeless shelters but under bridges. It's the same reason why suicidally depressed people don't want to be committed into a mental hospital with all the other mentally ill people.

The marginal guy from the fatter side of the tail does not want to be stuck with the guys from the far end of the distribution.
