I don’t know. My coworker just said that owls are a symbol of wisdom, and Athens (historically) is the center of wisdom.

Apparently “owls to Athens” is common across Europe? “Wood to the forest” is a variant in the US

Follow up, maybe someone should make a community to share the best of newspaper advices columns?

Slate has a pretty good one called Dear Prudence. I used to enjoy NYT The Ethicist but haven’t really read it frequently in years.

The interns were pulling those hours? Or just the full time hires.

Cancer didn’t exist until the very modern age. Evolution is fake, a conspiracy. Jews are basically Christians who don’t know if Jesus is the savior or not. I could keep going.

Learning basic process and facts about government is step one.

It’s a joke. It starts off cute and altruistic and then it finishes silly and kind of bad.

It’s almost like porn has been available, to varying degrees, to youth, for decades if not centuries. Even discounting all the good arguments like “small government” and “think of the kids is a dumb excuse to curtail privacy”… You have to ask, what’s the goal?

Keeping kids away from porn? Why is that an important goal for the government? Is it one the government is even capable of doing? At what age is porn OK? 16? 18? 21? Never? Did you ever look at porn when you were in high school? Do you regret it?

Is there any real research that porn is corrosive to a 16 year old? I mean we can’t even pass simple, popular gun legislation because the NRA swears up and down we don’t know “for sure” if it will save more than a couple lives. We can’t even have an EPA that enforces laws, while millions of people suffer from asthma and other stuff that kills them.
