Would giving things "star" ratings count as evaluating them separately? I've always been bothered by star ratings. If I give ItemA 5 out of 5 stars, and then later find ItemB which is even better, how do I indicate that? I ma

I'm curious if the cliques are actively rejecting you, or you're rejecting yourself by assuming they don't want you? Just because no one has invited you to sit with them doesn't mean that you'd be unwelcome.

The point is that the supply of humans doesn't track with the demand for them like it does for horses. We will find something to do with humans because we'll be forced to. Humans are exclusively more qualified for existence.
