I remember Ubuntu was like this in 2009, now it ironically might be the better option for anyone whose PC isn't Dell factory settings

I wonder what could so attract people to write about well-dressed and well-read young men who lounge around in fancy dorms and drawing rooms associating with a religion known simultaneously for its decadence and strict repression

Regency social media, where you are not permitted to speak to someone unless introduced deliberately by someone else, and that's assuming you were even invited to the party at all

okay but in 1816 the guy who had just written The Nurcracker also wrote a short story about a man who falls in love with a robot—in this case because he can ramble to it and all it says in response is "uh huh" (so same difference?)

what about the band budget, the sound guy, the lightshow guy, putting on a NOTAFLOF donations-appreciated free show every week? that counts as charity, right?

she does, though not so often as you might think

"moocher" is used three times in this character's speech, "parasite" just the once
Ayn Rand quote:

"Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth–the man who would make his own fortune no matter where he started. If an heir is equal to his money, it serves him; if not, it destroys him. But you look on and you cry that money corrupted him. Did it? Or did he corrupt his money? Do not envy a worthless heir; his wealth is not yours and you would have done no better with it. Do not think that it should have been distributed among you; loading the world with fifty parasites instead of one, would not bring back the dead virtue which was the fortune. Money is a living power that dies without its root. Money will not serve the mind that cannot match it. Is this the reason why you call it evil?"
