An interesting perspective on it thank you for writing it up for me. I haven’t read McCarthys other works so I don’t know the about his views. I do think that the book is highly critical of lawfuless and civilization. The kid goes out into the Mexican desert as a scalp hunter a pseudo legal profession and quickly the gang goes from killing indians to killing Mexicans to killing whomever. I think this shows how thin the veneer of civilization really is.

The kid is a kid and is easily mislead into a life of violence first by the army guy and later by the gang and the judge we never hear his inner monologue so we don’t really know how he feels about what he does. We do know that his heart contains some mercy for the victims of the gang the judge explicitly hunts him down for that mercy.

I see the book a critique/satire of the western genre. I agree it explores and questions the nature evil. But I don’t think it says much about how to tame it.

I really like the description of blood meridian as reading someone’s dreams. I am curious how you get men are bad by nature out of it?

I think the cheese coast border works pretty well

A Use at your own risk disclaimer leads to a significant increase in support tickets or negative customer perceptions. Being able to use ES6/ESnext features in your javascript codebase is really nice.

I’m not a fan of this being the current reality but much prefer this putting up this type of disclaimer over having to support internet explorer or safari.

In an ideal world there would be no need for any of this but consumers consistently choose for whatever is easiest for them in the moment and it leads to negative outcomes for al of us.

Who is the top right woman on the left side? I don’t recognize her

No longer a NEET but when I was I had very few bills. My parents paid for most of my living expenses and other things I funded by boosting other players in videogames mostly league of legends and RuneScape. I didn’t have a lot of autonomy but I also didn’t really want anything so it was never a real issue. Looking back on it it was very bleak but at the time I was happy enough playing video games and coding little projects. I rarely left the house maybe once a month. I don’t think the term is offensive.

Qobuz wouldn’t allow me to sign up with a proton alias. I also tried deezer but they wouldn’t stop sending spam. Out of the two I’d recommend deezer.
