Since that is precisely their end goal, I would rather not wish them good luck with it.

Oh man, my cousin had a classmate that was shocked and confused when she learned that not everyone had, or could afford, a yacht. To her, that was just something everyone had, because they weren’t that expensive.

No, but their preachers all talk Prosperity Gospel at them. And a preacher wouldn’t lie about the word of God!

It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.

Man, the people at sh.itjust.works are really trying to compete with the .ml folks for the most garbage takes lately it seems

Well, very few people like to be told they’re the villain…

The problem is mathematically it just doesn’t work. Humans are too good at reproducing. We’d be back in force before too long.

No, the only way is more death note style, taking out billionaires and some of their bootlicking buddies, and those who put profit over the planet’s health. It’s perfectly possible for the rest of us to patch things up—we almost did it with the ozone. (Until guess who decided they wanted to throw money around to force us to stop.)

Even when not grown as a crop, alders, willows, and birches tend to have a more ‘human’ lifespan, around a century or so.

Then on the other end of the spectrum, there are trees like yews, sequoias, and bristlecone pines, which live for millennia.

Longer than that

Men who are inferior to their fellow men, are always most anxious to establish their superiority over women.

JFC even Michael’s (which is a crafting store) doesn’t have their Christmas stuff out yet! And if you’re hand-crafting Christmas gifts for the whole family, sooner is better than later to start lol

Editorial Page editor Adam O ‘Neal testified that he doesn’t have a Bluesky account, and doesn’t regularly check social media in the mornings. But he did receive messages from various individuals about my posts. Individuals whose names and identities he then could suddenly not remember.

Sounds like Bezos got butthurt that not everyone was mourning his darling little Charlie lol

 

For fun, pair with something always happening to make you leave just a little later than you needed to in order to get to wherever you’re going on time.
