It’s so much better to offer a demonstration.

Seize his stores then. The city can run them for the people.

Good friend of mine once DM’d a D&D session with like 5 women he had dated. It was accidental and they were the ones who pointed it out to him. They gave him a little hell for it, but everyone said it was great fun.

I have people who love me.

Exactly why I stopped so using it so quickly.

There are rumors that the deaf are able to make good use of text based technologies.

Oh spare me your judgement. My plate is full, and none of it is wasted. I described a thing I would like to do if I had the resources that some rich Lambo owning prick has. I get a bunch of suggestions which are not that thing, none of which I requested, and some of which leave me dubious. I do not trust charities not to enable rich pricks to hoard Lambos. I’m weaning myself off the internet, not seeking new ways to engage with it. I wasn’t soliciting for piddly little ways I could sit on my ass to be a better liberal. I was lamenting the sociopathy of those who have such resources, despite zero hard work, yet waste them.

I’m already doing all I can for the environment. What I normally go do is break my body daily in the field in one of the few trades where fighting climate change is central. That’s where most of my time and energy go right now. That’s why I chose this career. Considering the way this world is going, I don’t expect to live long enough to make the difference I intended.

Look, I know you mean well. Thanks for suggesting an eco-friendly search engine. Hopefully they take data security and anonymity with the seriousness we all need these days. Hopefully it’s not just another slush fund for some billionaire’s spoiled brat. But regardless, your suggestion probably doesn’t fit my wants and needs.

Are they gonna give the land back to the native people? When can I find the time?

Or I could do the work myself. Donating to charity is just throwing money at the rich.

It’s cheaper if I do the work myself, which is the only kind of work worthy of respect.

If I had that kind of money, I’d buy ruined, exploited land just to restore it; regrow a clearcut forest for instance. Then just give it back to the native tribe who lived there centuries ago. I have always wished I could do that.

Yep. My dad believes you can cure a venomous snake bite, ANY species, by giving yourself an electric shock, preferably from a spark plug. Works equally effectively (it doesn’t work, don’t bother) for literally any insect bite. He also believes witches are eating babies in the forest nearby. Needless to say, he doesn’t understand evolution either. He falls for scams left and right, always has.

Really sweet guy though.

Well obviously more slices = more pizza.

Thanks, I needed that.

Oh goodness no. We had the War on Terror for 15 years after 2001. Global civilization took a serious crash dive after that. The terrorists won.

Lots of people are having their stuff repaired instead of disposing and buying new. Those tailors custom fit your clothes, do embroidery and patching, in addition to repairs. Shoe repair shops will restore leather, resole boots, and give them all a good shine. I’ve never had a vacuum repaired, but they’re pricey enough that I’d definitely try repair before buying a new one. Check out your local repair shops. They probably do good work, because they get a lot more practice than you might think.

The one on the left is probably bigger. That’s not a photo of a great white, but an artist rendition of a megalodon.

Would it win though? I have doubts. Especially in light of the macroraptorial sperm whales like Livyatan. But I’d never bet against a pod of orcas vs almost anything.

Soon. Soon.

I actually plan to buy the latest print encyclopedia I can find. Just in case. Fuck them trying to kill everything good on the internet.

Heroin OD on some remote overlook in Yellowstone. I know it might be rough on somebody eventually, but that would be the place.
