I have been hating this anime for decades. It has been a rough couple of decades for being a hater.

My sober and levelheaded take is that it would be good for the profession if we who compose the profession stopped being habitually and publicly fascinated by the stupidest shit ever.
Don’t let decision theorists push you around. Oh my preferences are intransitive? Too bad nerds, I’m paying you to come up with a model where I’m rational, not to complain
Sternly, to my four year old: “This is a strong Kleene household. We’ve no room for weakness, Kleene or otherwise.”

Fatal flaw in my argument? Beyond the scope of this paper. Crushing objection? Beyond the scope of this paper. Large swaths of the literature I haven’t read? Beyond the scope of this paper. Dialectical Gerrymandering stays winning.
Once again at O'hare, my favorite airport. The cannabis amnesty receptacles outnumber the lactation pods 2-1 by my count. People do not walk on the right side of the walkways and instead crash into each other likes waves of death at a Cannibal Corpse concert. They never put their phones down.
