I switched to Linux mint. No ragrets. It takes a bit of fiddling and a teensie bit of a learning curve. But it’s way easier than Microsofts endless deluge of shit.

King of the hill

I’m excited at your dearth of excitement! Enjoy the off time!

My brother is coming tomorrow! We’re gonna hang for a day then go north and hang with the rest of the fam. So exited, haven’t seen him for a year!

I have a new religion!

Prometheus didn’t gift us fire and cognition. Lies. We are Prometheus’s curse on the universe. Nothing more than a plague on the gods creation, concocted for some slight we can never understand. The sum of us, brought into being, then tossed into the void and forgotten. To spread like an oil stain across creation.

I think that’s what a lot of people miss is the trade/political aspect of schism. While I’m sure millions held genuine beliefs, it’s hard to understate the economic reality of the church in those days. Huge land holdings, an ancient web of power and obligations reaching into every life, every transaction, every political appointment. When it became conceivable to break with this system, it was broken. This breaking was Consequential. Hence the centuries of warfare and strife. It’s all about that money honey.

I see those all over the place! I love them, no two red spots the same. I’ll occasionally see one mixed in with a group of pigeons, just chilling.

Do you know if anyone ever plays those defence games? I remember playing a bunch of really fun custom scenario games multiplayer.

It’s a theft thing. Middle managers are concerned about employees purposely making accidents so that they may then eat. It’s all about that money honey

Most of our houses have to stand up to the cold too (at least presently). Idk how much this affects what kind of designs are possible, but some brain roughage for ya.

I grew up in northern Minnesota. Fuck whatever your saying. You absolutely can pop to the grocery. It’s disingenuous AF to say this place is inhospitable without automobiles. The Anishinaabe have managed it. I managed it. Litteral millons do.

What you meant to say is “surviving in a place like Minnesota requires planning and community” I’m MN born and raised. I haven’t owned an automobile for 15years. It’s very possible.

And seeing how there’s ten billion souls on this planet, rapidly fucking it up, it would behoove us to live with less resource expenditures. Any way you stack it up, from leaded gasoline to the sleekest EV, the personal automobile is a gluttonous, selfish act. We can live without them, your very existence is proof. Ride the bus, snow shoe, ski, walk bus, fuck.

Burn the witch!
