Sandt nok
Jeg har også mødt en god del folk på højrefløjen som mener at man burde give meget mere direkte politisk magt til kongen. Ikke nødvendigvis enevælde, men i hvert fald over i den retning

Comic. PERSON 1 to person with white hat: I finished all the gen-ed back in 2010, and I’m up to the 400-level courses in most departments. But now one of my advisors is saying I “can’t have more than 20 majors” and “need to graduate next year.” It’s outrageous! [caption] My university is making it really hard to finish a 100% all achievements speedrun.

For the few people rich enough to ride out the hard times? Yes, at least enough for them to not care
For the rest of us? No

Got around to reading the first chapter: Rhizome
I can see some insights in this work, but the writing style is tiring, and the terminology is difficult

Reposting @helendecruz.net's "goofy Space drama" which isn't goofy at all, and one of the cooler readings on Spinoza I've encountered. One of the best things about her, among so many, is her heart-felt innocent love of Sci-fi.

May she LONG live in my heart!
