Yes, I know. That doesn't make an assertion about the "pitfalls" of `self` less muddy. It's literally a variable. It's a code smell too, but that's another conversation. Are we calling out variables in JS now? Maybe we should just hold ourselves to bootcamp standards, copy and paste StackOverflow or something like that. Programming is hard, etc.

Your kids might learn to spell an un-American name like Kwame if you raised them around those scary poor people.

As an antimarzipanner I was hoping to learn that its production harms the oceans or something along those lines.

As user I dislike AMP because it adds a JavaScript requirement to read articles that don't have any JavaScript. There, I said it.
