@Schnuckster bookstores use BISAC subject headings (in North America, anyway). I think probably it's easier for shelving—not all books are published with DDC already done, plus bookstores want to move books around to draw attention, and allegedly BISAC is less biased toward Western culture...

EH Lupton (pretensesoup@romancelandia.club)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Jan-2024 18:02:11 JST EH Lupton Narrator of this book is asked if a deed can be good if it also benefits the do-er. Pretty weak sauce as questions go, but his answer is the worst.

I just...do you even philosophy, bruh?

Matching by number, gender, AND case is a little silly. And a lot of times, the forms kind of run together and you wind up with the same ending and what, exactly, is the point of that? I would decline to decline.
