I mean… maybe we’re depressed because of the crushing weight of the real world impacts of what’s being reported on. I absolutely believe that consuming dour media can affect your mood. Plenty of evidence. I’ve also had two friends die of poverty due to their incapability to afford medical expenses.

Then where do I come from? I hope you’re misinterpreting my sentiment, because I feel like we’re on the same page.

It might feel pretty dire, but all of this information is critical to understanding and empathizing with the people you might meet in your own society. You can opt out of forums (and should if it’s causing you distress). I wouldn’t suffer a buffer from the negative information if it meant a lack of information in general.

Give me $5K and a case of beer and I’ll make you a dog suit that breathes fire.

You always get a better bang for your buck investing in furries.

$7.5K if you want safety standards, though.

Yeah, and it’s awesome! Same with Lemon Chicken. I want to experiment with a peach sauce.

I’m pretty confident any joke I could come up with would be off color, so I’m going to make the rare choice of sitting this one out.

I’m not sure I’ve Δ’d my opinion on that.

It remains to be seen if global temperature will eventually max out (likely after a major population decline) or if we’re headed in the direction of Venus, where the planet just gets turbo-fucked beyond the ability to retain any life.

I think people usually use the term “Greenhouse Gasses” because it’s an umbrella term for the other compounds like methane that do the same thing (except it doesn’t taste as good when dissolved in your soda).

I hope your source is on this train of thought and not something about secret Nazi’s melting the ice caps to establish a base and awaken Mega-Hitler from his slumber.

“SO HOW ABOUT THAT ISRAELI - PALLESTINIAN CONFLICT?”

As a furry, this breaks my (OC) generic neon green wolf’s heart (don’t steal).

It’s like a necktie for your butt! I’d take it over flat-butt.

Agreed, he is, but not from internet rhetoric.

He’d best have a good security detail. If anything goes awry, a bunch of Leftists are going to be peacefully asking him pointed questions that might make him uncomfortable.

If you’re assuaged to believe that winning means everything, I can’t speak for you. It assumes that you start and stay on the same side of any moral argument and you have to fight for it to the end regardless of if new evidence nullifies your opinion.

That’s not how humans understand each-other. Humans garner nuance and discern things in new and meaningful ways over time and social interaction. We understand others - people that we can identify with in profound ways even if they don’t necessarily share our point of view.

I would give him a moment of our time - maybe 30 seconds if he doesn’t state one of the over-used vitriolic statements on the Bingo cards that I will be handing out now.

I personally think it was part of the “Bone a Drone” movement that was used to collect samples of human DNA in order to synthesize fake human beings that would potentially make it into statures of power in order to create a new world order.

I don’t really, but that’s a much more compelling story than, “late stage Capitalism sucks for almost everyone involved”.

It was a good sustained 15 to 20 seconds, and the lumen it projected didn’t really fluctuate. It was more in the yellow than white spectrum as well. Makes sense for my initial description, but it doesn’t make sense for the Willamette Valley, the color, and pattern of movement. Not that I have a better explanation, but I’ve spent my whole professional life as a food QA auditor and lab tech, so I’m used to just reporting things I’ve seen and not reading into them.

Probably an attempt at a viral marketing campaign. Everything seems to turn out disappointing these days.

Atheist and skeptic, so I can’t jump to conclusions, but I watched a sphere of light move alongside me in my car while I was driving next to the Willamette river in West Salem, Oregon. It moved and stopped with more precision than I’ve ever seen from a drone and stayed about 50-some feet in the air above the river. I moved my head around consistently to ensure it wasn’t a reflection on my windshield. My friend had told me about his “alien experience” that sounded shockingly the same, also in West Salem, but a good year before this. He claims to have seen multiple and was just standing outside for a cigarette.

I’m literally losing friends by nature of death. It’s been humbling and horrifying, and I don’t know how to make sense of it. I’m terrified and there’s no getting out of this roller coaster.
