I read that article. I'm suspicious because the story is too perfect, and surely lots of people wanted to discredit the monarchy, and there are no apologists to dispute the account.
Is there any high-quality, intelligent discussion on the internet about California's ballot measure about gerrymandering, Prop 50?
What am I to conclude about your values from the fact that you're moderately dominant in bed?
You claim that:
the government is [not] somehow stopping people from working more.
but also:
the Netherlands [...] has enacted part-time-friendly policies
I'm skeptical that both of these claims are straightforwardly true. Due to the nature of labor law, a policy that is friendly to shorter work-weeks will in practice also be unfriendly to longer work-weeks.
In particular, my uninformed guess is that a Dutch employer and employee seeking to formalize a 40-hour-per-week working arrangement will encounter obstacles or costs that wouldn't arise for a <35-hour-per-week arrangement. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
I've been wondering the case of Teresa Youngblut and Felix Bauckholt. A hotel employee called the cops on them because they were "dressed in tactical clothing and protective gear, while also being armed". Does this pass the threshold of "too weird" in New England? Or maybe it was New England forbearance that let them get away with it for as long as they did? Or maybe it's possible to be weird in New England, as long as one has the right kind of vibe.
Do you have any advice for people financially exposed to capabilities progress on how not to do dumb stuff, not be targeted by political pressure, etc.?

Oh sorry, somehow I forgot what you wrote about Reginald Johnston before writing my comment! I haven't read anything else about Puyi, so my suspicion is just a hunch.
