Hey I asked this a while ago elsewhere but can't find the reply. Does anyone know when our target closes? It's a holiday here.

My unasked for opinion on the word "normies" - there are some real weirdies out there that got wires crossed and they sure don't revel in their undesired uniqueness. People who can't sleep for more than 5 minutes spans (she exists), folks sexually attracted to shoe horns, bros who can't feel pain and burn their hands touching the stove. Be happy most everything ended up where it should and working reasonably well - it's not a badge of honor to be an anamoulos fringe anything. I imagine it is painful and assume very lonely. Also there is nothing more fucking pedestrian than feeling uniquely misunderstood and alone. THAT is some normie shit.

Thank you, I feel very good about my chances this go around. I'm sober because I'm a better person when I don't drink. Up until now, I also very purposefully surrounded myself with high risk drinkers, so I knew I would not have any friends going on this journey with me.

Drinking, finally for good I hope! I'm 3.8 years in. I first blacked out at 12 and was drinking liquor regularly by 14 so booze was my way of life. I can't socialize very well as I am naturally super awkward then never honed my "don't be super weird" skills, but I'm finally free to live my life how I want!

If everyday anomalies and unanswered questions don't drive you a little batty, your willful ignorance will start to become annoying.

But all the pages are 72. And your whole experience is also being described in real time on another page 72 elsewhere. 72s all the way down friend.

Ooh what about pretopia and it can go either way? Regardless I hear you.

YES THIS! I've been saying over and over since 2016 - I read almost exclusively dystopic sci-fi and many books have a point where the reader thinks "run this is getting too bad it is the time to go". I'm thinking specifically when June has no money in her bank account (yes it's a tinge too late even then). So I've been trying to figure out when that point in our story will be and last year decided it is id Trump is elected again. We are a lost country and evil has won at that point.

When my angel of a tee totaling mother who would cry from the stress of working unpaid OT, making every family member custom holiday sweatshirts, or hosting other little girl's birthday parties at their lazy mother's request, died rather quickly from a brain tumor after her quack therapist ignored her months of aphasia. Selflessness guarantees nothing.

It was an abrasive statement, but as a vegetarian who still loves cheese and eggs, there is a lot of truth in it. Much US large-scale farming harms the animals, workers, and environment. The animal feed land could be used for crops. Eating primarily meat and little else is not nutritionally complete. Large swaths of the rainforest are cut down to raise beef cattle. End of the day you are unnecessarily killing an innocent creature because it tastes good. People don't want to hear these things, they want a bacon double double. They want waygu. That's the cognitive dissonance that makes people mad. Again, I eat eggs that aren't always ethically sourced and who knows about my delicious cheese, but I'm not getting up in arms trying to claim I'm still a great person when I'm wrist deep in queso.

Wtf is with humanity? We have a couple weird visionaries saying decades to centuries prior "heyo maybe this could lead to that and be world ending" then a handful of rich powerful folks are like yesss thank you for this blueprint.
