Research isn’t advice, either—it can provide the data to make an informed decision, but you still need to figure out what information is relevant to your particular case and how it applies.
In particular, you shouldn’t read a random study or research paper and take it as an actionable recommendation—you need to be familiar with other similar studies, and how they fit into the current state of the rest of their field.
Most of the underlying concepts are left wing, but the people using the label aren’t.
(The main example I can think of is Foldvary, who I’d hesitate to call either left- or right-wing).
It’s basically a version of Georgism, rebranded to avoid Georgism’s left-wing association.
Is [contingency] something that may be contingent on other things that may take time to verify?
Lots of actors never get into drugs, and lots of other people do anyway. We’re just more aware of the actors because they’re living under a spotlight. (They probably also get more attention because they contradict the stereotype of drug users being poor and unsuccessful.)
Also, plenty of actors do volunteering, charity, and activism too.
I guess it’ll be when the majority of the working population is Gen Z or younger.
It was a ritual of social inversion (a fool was crowned king, the ruling class was mocked and identities were concealed, religious and social rules were relaxed, etc.)
There are differing views, but one theory is that it served as a reminder to both lords and commoners that the social order could be overthrown if the lords became too oppressive.
Carnival.

Malamud called for increased awareness that Westlaw was a commercial broker of the United States Federal Reporter, Federal Supplement, and Federal Appendix.

New Year’s is celebrated by everyone
More so than Christmas, perhaps—but you still have people with different calendars (Chinese, Jewish, Muslim, etc.).
Water Chestnuts are a fantastic substitute if you like the crunch.
Your opinion of celery vs water chestnuts is apparently the exact reverse of mine.
In the sense that the original organic material has been replaced by minerals? I guess that’s a version of the old Ship of Theseus question.
We could use one, and assume we’re operating in the field of complex numbers:
1 N = North
i N = West
i2 N = South
i3 N = East.
And we could use the complex modulus to indicate distance or speed… or we could map the Riemann sphere onto the surface of the earth and use a single complex number to indicate location.
Many of the people electing the pope have hopes of becoming pope one day themselves, so they elect someone they expect to outlive.
Once we get good, universal real-time translation, we might start to see a new proliferation of local languages. And of small groups inventing their own cryptolects for privacy, trying to evolve them faster than AI can keep up.
Saag paneer.
I ate the last one yesterday.
Did you really expect me to resist?
Convincing people to dismiss their crimes as “white collar crap” is the most insidious trick of successful criminals.
