"I'm used to this type of code switch when I go home and talk to the right wingers in my family. But if Trump wins I expect I'll have to do it up here too."
An elaboration of my metaphor would be that some of the tactics run in an interpreter (D) and some are compiled (H). The interpreter (pretending) is fine if it infrequent autopilot like holidays, but too much overhead for daily head-to-head with competing agents that have affinity for D worlds. Having to recompile for the D is doable, but it feels like a cage and uses up time (life) in a way I find useless. But I've done such things before. I can tell it makes me not a nice person even when I'm doing it. I guess I can say to myself, "Look what you made me do." I've also benefited from Affordable Health Care Act patient protections, e.g. a property of the H world. That these protections could just go away will decrease my productivity and could well reduce the total taxes I pay over my working life.
