Patrick did a good job highlighting the immediate, urgent, tangible threat from the ocean while Albert did a good job diving into the nihilistic void that is our infinite prison of inevitable entropy. Happy friday

That’s great stuff, and I would never presume to comment on the internal politics of another country, but since you’ve presumed to comment on ours, calling it “criminal”, I’ll just say here that I don’t care about your mom, and I’d rather keep my tax money while watching her die and feeling nothing.
