- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 5 days ago:
What would be a good one is, “what does Quixote’s horse symbolize?” Or even, “what do you think about his horse?”. Both would get the student thinking rather than trying to just pull up a word that’s arbitrary.
That is a great point.
Significantly better questions; than a name.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 5 days ago:
I would say Rocinante helps early in the story, with understanding the depth of Quixote’s delusion.
Whilst in reality Rocinante is an old workhorse; in the delusion of Don Quixote, Rocinante is a grand charger fit for a knight of the highest order.
Helping to illustrate the core of the story; Don Quixote is applying a veneer of importance and significance over the top of reality. Rocinante is a reflection of the Don himself.

Sancho Panza rode the donkey, Dapple. Though Don Quixote does “ride” the donkey a few times. Rocinante is his usual mount.

Pies are nice and all; but have you considered a dildo to the face?
It has a certain style after all.
- Comment on Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing. 2 weeks ago:
This is exactly the point.
They live in a controlled information environment; much like the Russian people who think Ukraine is full to the brim with Nazis.
They have been force fed hate and bigotry for decades at this point. They are not blameless, but also they don’t deserve all the hate that is projected at them.
As pointed out, the education system is gutted, thus they are not curious and checking their biases; it is normalized for them to be hateful toward “others”; their whole world is small and full of fear.
I pity them their small pathetic lives, and dislike them for their shitty views. The only thing I hate is that the stupid bigotry seems to be spreading around the world.

We can’t keep tying healthcare to employment
You can; and you will.
I unfortunately don’t see structural reform in your short to medium term future.

I looked at the picture and was initially wondering why the front car is in the wrong…took a moment to realize that this is probably from a country where they drive on the wrong side of the road.

I’m in NZ, of there is a naive blackberry, I’ve never heard of it. But we have a lot of blackberry in this country, it all sucks.
- Comment on Mint 3 months ago:
They are spreading seeds… That is the point of the berries.
Nothing eats the plant.
Even goats, which famously will eat blackberry, will eat anything else first.
- Comment on Mint 3 months ago:
Blackberry is evil.
If it is not native to your country don’t plant it! Nothing eats it, grows extremely quickly and is very hard to get rid of.
