I’m increasingly seeing neighborhoods where there’s only a sidewalk on one side of the street…and then it terminates for no reason…and then it starts again…
It’s so bizarre.

True! It was then technically named after a meme…which the coin named itself after, as it was supposed to be a “meme coin”.
Still stands though.
“Government agency named after meme. Such dumb. So chaos. Woooooow.” Lol

Oh my gosh that’s so much closer, you’re right. Bet you could totally make a nature-oriented specialization too. :D

I really appreciate this. I’m stuck awake and exhausted too. My house all voted and did what we could, here in NV, but I hate that nagging feeling that it wasn’t enough.
I’m praying to maintain that fervor, that raging fire to believe in good and fortify against coming evil… But it’s one crisis out of our hands to the next, and I’m just so tired. :(
I find myself returning more and more often to
Ephesians 6:12-17
Eph 6:12-18 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Sending hopeful feelings for you to wherever else in the country you are.
You too, friend. We’re still here. We’ll get through this one day at a time.

I would totally take you up on that hug there, mein bruder. This feels pretty damn awful. :(
I’m still holding out some kinda vague hope for the “final numbers” but…right now I’m not alone in feeling a little lost and confused at what we’re about to go through and what the heck life will look like in the near future.
A lot of previous elections felt like empty hype and doomsaying but this one feels like we’re gonna feel it immediately.
God help us all.

Also I don’t want more Americans moving here.
I have a sad feeling the rest of the world feels the same way.
I’m at the point where I want to leave these borders. I want to go somewhere relatively quiet and developed that has worker’s rights and isn’t some major player in the game of global domination.
I’d respect my new home and integrate and do my best to get along with my new neighbors.
But I’m pretty sure we’re stuck here to endure this madness.
The rich have already departed though. So you’ll probably end up with less humble American refugees and more pompous real-estate moguls. And for that, I’m sorry.

Why’s this feel like a car-dealership special: Where you negotiate and negotiate and FINALLY they seem to relent…
…but it’s still in their favor and they simply shifted the numbers to different variables so you feel like you’re getting a fair deal…

Probably because in many cases we can’t afford to freakin’ move and resettle in our own country, so it becomes trivia knowledge instead of practical know lol.

So basically as long as they SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS… They just keep going. Lol
- Comment on Mushrooms 2 weeks ago:
Reminds me: In the roguelike game Cataclysm DDA, there’s fungus monsters. Basically once they’re on the map, the best strategy was to just run and keep running until they were out of the game’s “simulation bubble.”
They would spread fungal colonies uncontrollably, creating fungal towers, spawning more spores, and fungal versions of monsters, which would spread more spores…
You could hack away at them or burn them sure, but all of them? Unlikely. They’d rapidly take over the entire game basically lol … Dunno if that’s been nerfed now.
Spores are freaky. Really freaky…

Guys am I autistic?
Haha might be? But I’m the same way and I’m pretty sure I’m not autistic…(ADHD though)
I think when you fill that spot between ((“knowledgable”) AND (“good-natured”)), you just like to share what you know if the poster’s sarcasm isn’t painfully apparent.
Never hurts to be kindly helpful. It reminds me of something my sister told me she tells her kids:
“Try to learn something new every day, and even if you don’t, teach something.” :)

- Comment on The original Facebook was something we’ll never get back 4 weeks ago:
I’ve actually considered starting a Friendica or other instance exclusively for friends and family to share pictures and communicate, invite only…
… But even if I managed the insane technical aspects and convinced people to try it, I only fear the mainstream social media giants have already trained them to be their worst selves at this point. I can see the bickering drama threads now, eating up my gigabytes…
I just hate how fragmented and walled the most connected Internet ever is…I felt more connection when I had everyone between Yahoo and MSN Messengers, or took the time to check out friends’ MySpace pages.

I get the caution about unintended consequences but damnit of all the crazy planetary issues we’re dealing with right now, I’d rank
“oops, got rid of West Nile and Malaria as well as annoying little red bumps from wandering too far from big cities”
As a win, the consequences of which we can probably figure out how to deal with when we come to it.
I know it doesn’t work that way but I’d trade all the world’s mosquitoes to keep the polar bears or pangolins or something any day.
