I think we are supposed to think about Gatsby the same way the narrator, Nick, thinks about Gatsby.

A great man, a true romantic, but not one suited to this corrupt, fallible world. His relationship to Daisy was a bit more complex than just stalking, she did love him, she just wasn’t capable of leaving Tom.

“No— Gatsby turned out all right at the end. It is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men”

If you look at all the traits animals and plants have, there are correlations and patterns unrelated to the environment, consistent only with a pattern of descent with modification.

For example, all the animals that produce milk also have fur, while all the animals with beaks and hollow bones also have feathers.

These groups of correlated organisms are found regardless of their environment, so penguins have all the bird traits even though they live in the ocean, seals have all the mammal traits even though they live in the ocean.

This pattern only has one consistent explanation: life on earth is a result of descent with modification: evolution.

Probably a good idea to let him know how you are being treated.

My partner and I deal with toxic family by cutting them out of our lives. Only got time for kind people.

Assuming she doesn’t take such a large dose that she can’t deal with a knocked over candle.

Also, one partner can stay relatively sober to manage reality.

Makes me wonder if they are making contingencies for a Trump victory.

The US government could force Google to reveal if people are accessing abortions or contraception, or participating in protests.

Literally the biggest religion on earth, influencing the most powerful nations on earth.
