Wait. Is that Jubilee?

Solar panels and their components are like 99% recyclable and can just be reused for the same purpose. What are you on about?

Oh. Right. Paid shill.

Cool? Then we go for geothermal as well.

It doesn’t mean that fossil fuels are a good idea to keep perpetuating by any metric.

They are a necessary evil in some places for now, but not something to eagerly expand upon.

Also. They’re limited. The radiation from the sun isnot. Geothermal’s constant

You’re right.

Back to hunting and gathering we go.

Like I get the problem. I don’t like the way we’re doing it, either.

We haven’t figured out a better method yet but the fossil fuels are actively killing our entire biome.

B5 was the shit as was DS9

Both also had some terribly cringe moments. Don’t we all?

Thank you so much for this. Didn’t know I needed it until it made me cry.

Thank you.

Depressing they lack much in the way of critical thinking here, but these numbers check out.

1/3, so the Trump base that has been propagandized for decades still believes this bullshit they’ve been propagandized for decades?

Shocking.

Yes! I only use them when I’d rather spread out a coat that I already have the cash for, so it can sit in an account making more in interest in the meanwhile.

Always thought it was the 1800’s socially with a 1950’s aesthetic

Wait. Early 2000’s?

Thats their nostalgia? Are they aiming at 20-somethings? WTF

That’s Oz right? At that angle he looks like Tim Kaine.

Okay I’ll go read now. That just threw me.

I’m sure I’m the only one who thinks that but it’s like something in my eye.

I remember reading portrait in HS and, like, that was enough.

Amazing.

But MAN

Are you saying this is bad? These are inarguably good things to tax all hell. At least 2/3 of them.

Bahahaha… a publisher in need of MH support blocking you for conjuring magical spirits. I love it.

I mean.

Not for you. That sucks.

But as a humorous life story, that’s gold.

Writing groups I find distract me from my style and “methodology” make de second guess too much, end up on tangents, etc.

I’ve never seen much around here, as is, and I dread being the old broad encroaching on the college town community that has some artsy stuff ‘round here.

Yeah this.

So I’m doing my best to polish now. Eventually I’ll start looking for betas (I’ve beta’d my first chapter for a competition and found dif things from each perspective that helped me improve it, IMO - and some I just ignored).

After beta fixes I’ll start querying I suppose.

That’s my thing.

I assume I won’t make much in sales.

I just wanna get in libraries and maybe bookstores.

I’d kinda like my book to be banned by some red states.

May even help with marketing.

That’s the part I’m dreading but want to focus on finishing my read aloud first.

Then it’s the fun of author bsky + maybe twitter, website, … skywriting or animal sacrifice, perhaps? No idea.

Honestly I spend enough time dicking around in Bluesky I should probably get more involved in some /r’s

We have always/never been at war with Eurasia.

They’ve a growing (tho already large) Nazi and white nationalist problem.

You’re not far off. But there’s more

That is what you are seeming to claim here, lil’ buddy

We still haven’t started the second disc of Frieren season one… and considering it’s gonna be like two years possibly until a short season two is out… time to take a break for one piece. 😂

Oh what? Man. May have to resub again. Got a bunch to catch up on.

Kids?

His behavior and attitudes in a modern context would make him stridently anti GOP nowadays.

Mammonism

They worship money/greed first

Then themselves

Everything else is icing

They’re part of the same issue.

People are pretending some places are off limits due to the business being a “vice” whereas we’re all collectively cool with casinos every-fucking-where.

Why? Sex + women having autonomy over their own expression is vile.

Booze/casinos are just good ol’ boy fun.

Wine and Beer have loudly stumbled into the chat.
