Ambivalent is the best word for me.

I'm finding that I will eventually resent anything I am compelled to do under threat of poverty, no matter how much I may otherwise enjoy it. Knowing that my life can be uprooted without warning if some grumpy asshole doesn't like my work certainly doesn't help.

All that being said, I have to admit I am more fortunate than many others with my career. At least I can do it in my pajamas with a cat on my lap. Little to no risk of permanent damage to my body from my line of work. And my salary is pretty good compared to the abysmal median pay in the US.

Right? Like in my ideal world, guns would be a hobby for weird nerds in the same way fencing is today. The one or two times I have felt like there's even a small chance I may need to use a gun in self defense were terrifying and stressful.

Wow! Thanks for the link. You've brightened my evening a bit.

Exactly! They want to call elected officials pushing for single payer healthcare radical. Folks like Luigi remind them what actually radical looks like.

I hope at least a sizeable chunk of Trump voters regret voting for him. It breaks my heart to know that there are legitimately people who have paid attention to all his lies and already broken promises and still want the guy to lead the country. I don't know how to salvage someone like that.

Let me know when he doesn't get back up.

Nice shooting!

I'd rather not set a precedent for it being means-gated. Some people who don't need it getting free money is an acceptable tradeoff to ensure that everyone who needs it does get it.

He takes the full value, and gives some fraction of it back.

This is a great explanation:

Truth. We will be better off as a society when/if we stop giving a shit what they think.

I think the algorithm just compares the distance between the center and your first point to the distance between the center and each subsequent point. So, for example, drawing an imperfect but centered circle will get you more points than drawing a perfect circle that's really off center.

Fun toy!
