Are You Even Human by Thundamoo. Really liked it, it is incomplete and may not be popular enough to tempt the author to conclude it on royal road

Pilot by will wight, incredible author, one of my favorite in fantasy today, but the book was one of his weaker entries imo

I’m surprised this is the first I’ve heard of this, are local fish hatcheries not sustainable?

I love the freedom of nihilism, our brain chemicals are the only thing making us happy or sad, they create morals, love, hate.

You know what, I guess in a way hormones are more human than the brain itself?

Like once a dang week, solicitors come out and knock asking for the owner of the place I currently rent and try to sell me some service.

One that I don’t own and drives on rails, preferably one without a driver like they have in some parts of asia.

With blackjack and hookers, no doubt

The comments about seeing a doctor for depression are coming from a caring place, but the reality of being without work for a while means it’s hard to afford seeing a doctor.

Chemical depression is not exactly something you can work yourself through, there are some people who claim magic mushrooms can help, but I’ve not seen any conclusive studies.

The man has done more than plenty without making junk up. Taking this approach just will not change minds or help anyone, if reality hasn’t done it fiction certainly won’t.

I sympathize with the perspective. We already have so much ammunition and intermixing falsehoods just reduces the overall trustworthiness of the genuine messages that need to be disseminated.

Nobody cares.

Your past posts tell a very clear story, I recall the post you deleted, the language and ideas you present are frankly pretty messed up.

You’re misattributing people’s response to your actions as general philosophies.

Some judgements are purely punitive, not intended to help anyone. From a social perspective this kind of passed judgement could hopefully prevent others from doing similar things?

My top four:

1. AOC
2. Sanders (he’s old af, otherwise he’d be first)
3. Tie: Harris (love her but she needs to be a woman of the people, no more real estate conferences and more publicity)
4. Tie: Buttigieg (best orator on the list, wish he was a bit more progressive)

Please no newsom, or even walz. I like Walz but he did specifically say he wasn’t going to run for president during his vice presidential campaign.

It’s easy to confuse friendship with deeper feelings, human connection is weird.

If you’re not romantically into him, you won’t be in a thruple, you’ll simply be sharing your partner with your friend.

Monagomy isn’t for everyone, and arguably polyamory isn’t for many people at all. I’ve seen a few of these work out but it requires very different mindsets and your mindset right now sounds like it’s on the sexual side (considering it exciting) instead of on the relationship/partnership side. Excitement is short lived, exercise caution.

Don’t ask the internet, talk frankly with all parties involved. Be aware that the relationship may already have expanded past monogamy non consensually.

I wouldn’t move to wyoming of all places, for sure, that place is hell on earth. The boston metro area is great for aging, especially as you get well into your 80s and your ability to drive flags. The lack of community infrastructure in wyoming will mean you’ll either die or have to go into a home as you age because how will you get groceries? At least in the boston area you have ready access to taxis and ubers and public transit everywhere.

Don’t forget that the politics of wyoming are vastly vastly different than the boston area, you’re going from one of the most progressive areas in the US to one of the most conservative states.

Living a rural rancher lifestyle requires hardiness and support structures. Most ranchers have generations in the same place, know their neighbors, have local community, etc. You’re coming in as a stranger and people out there hate outsiders coming in. It’s an expensive hobby and a hard job.

If you like dust, fires, wind, drought, mormons, republicans, big rig black cloud trucks, and guns you’ll probably like it.

Huh no kidding

We have one in an upstairs bedroom from midea, the window slides right between the front and back of the unit and it’s excellent. Our power consumption didn’t increase too terribly much and it’s actually decently quiet.

Not gonna put the model here but just look for U shaped window units. It has little legs that go outside.

Don’t get the inside standing units, they’re massive, loud, power hungry, and most of them are less effective than even the cheap window units.

Found the big blueberry shill

It must be so frustrating to be lower court judiciary leaders today.

I haven’t been to China in about 10 years, are you in Beijing or Shanghai? How’s the smog these days?

Are you a native speaker? If not how did you learn?

You should look closer, for example at the responses to iran bombing israel, “fafo” and the like are the most common, clearly blaming the citizens who are lamenting in the videos with the government’s actions.

To be clear I’m on the side of reduced suffering for all people, and really only advocating for my country (the US) to take responsibility for the suffering we inflict.

The funny thing is that no other country’s citizens get that benefit.

Israel? Evil for slaughtering palestinians Russia? Evil for the war on ukraine

The united states voted trump in, sure some were opposed, but the country chose the administration. Americans should be internationally reviled, we have committed an atrocity via democracy.
