Honestly none of them seem particularly appetizing. God knows what they've been consuming, so we'll probably need to finish them on apples and corn for about a month to flush out any off flavors. Plus most of them are men so they'll have boar taint if we don't also castrate them before we start limiting their diet.

(I raised pigs and, biologically, pigs are a lot like humans.)

I'm telling you if we eat just one billionaire the rest will fall in line

I really love being alone so it worked great for me. I hardly left my property and had so much upkeep to perform that I got in great shape.

But if you're a person who likes people and needs human interaction I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you really like Zoom calls.

When I lived in the boonies I had a house like that. It was on a windy mountain road that was rarely traveled except on Sundays when people would drive their classic cars around. I could sit there with a beer after mowing my lawn and have my own private parade, and walk the couple miles into town no problem.

For work I just had to walk down the hall because shipping my brain through meatspace to push buttons in a different place is stupid.

A few years ago I moved from the mountains to the suburbs and I hate it and can't wait to get back.

I miss the stars...

My kids live within easy walking distance of most of their friends, but they don't hang out nearly as much as they want to because there's a stroad between them.

If black people had gone back to traditional religions after emancipation I imagine the Reconstruction would have been even more filled with racist violence. Assimilating into the dominant culture is a survival strategy.

This reminds me of the shift in the car market when Japanese cars entered the market after the Oil Crisis. American auto makers, used to building unreliable land yachts, couldn't adapt fast enough. Now we have American car makers building electric land yachts that people can't afford, and are threatened by cheaper foreign cars.

I'd love to see a citation on that because then I'd feel more comfortable repeating it, as it's a pretty good fact if true

But would we remember between quicksaves? Would other people? If my boss quicksaves before our meetings and then I quicksave and honestly tell him what I think about this job, whose quicksave would take precedence?

I heard somewhere that the reason people want flying cars is the same reason they wanted flying horses.
