holy shit. Thanks for the depressing info.

when you mention it being illegal to xeriscape, are you talking about HOAs (bad enough) or... actual criminal laws?

“ (After all, unlike doggy style, we don’t call face-to-face human sex “porcupine style.”)“

I could write a whole book about the depth of my contempt for Derrick fucking Jensen and it still wouldn’t feel like I’d gotten it all out.

Good old NB, the banana republic of Canada.

I’m not saying there’s a connection between Britney being freed and Kinja finally letting me log in again after actual years, but it’s kind of an interesting coincidence, don’t you think?

CCP can’t force the big alliances to break up, because they can’t control what people do outside the game. Making nullsec self-sufficiency harder is one of the ways they can create a more hostile environment for the blocs.

Better give him some of your money to make up for his hurt feelings, I guess.

She was the best candidate! Perhaps the problem is less that meritocracy is a bad idea and more that it has never been tried.

Wanting to make money off of Woody Allen’s memoir makes one an asshole. Why do you want to censor people pointing that out?

No, species have no goals, no telos. Even describing individual survival and reproduction as a ‘goal’ is a little bit mistaken, though it gets as pass as a ‘lies for children’ version.

It seems like they got the point okay?

I don’t really care if humanity lasts forever. I obviously would prefer we don’t go extinct over the next few hundred or thousand years, but I don’t really understand the idea that we must become immortal at any cost. Everything ends, friendo. Being a bit sore about this is natural. But getting too wrapped up in…
