I don't agree. Instead of being between two people, think of the transaction as being between a person and society. Since society offers a lot of different things, you can sell your pigs to society for a token which you can later use t

I agree that he’s not particularly trustworthy but what would be his motivation for lying here? I can’t come up with any.

Is old.reddit.com very unstable for everyone else in safari or just me? On my past 3 iphones through multiple iOS versions I can't browse for more than 10 minutes without eventually hanging/crashing safari. It seems to happen most
