That’s why it’s in the negative positive quadrant. Low desire to die, high risk of dying (at least in my city)

Yes this was the point of the meme. I feel like dying in an airplane, but it is very unlikely that anything fatal will happen. I also feel like dying while driving through suburban traffic, and there the odds are much higher something could take me out.

I love biking! Hence the low desire to die. I feel so much better all day after biking.

I am also biking in Kansas City Missouri though where drivers will directly threaten to kill me.

This stemmed from me joking with a friend that it is unfortunate that flying is so safe because I always want to die when I’m on plane.

A little detail I liked was Tarima specifying something about destroying her father’s auditory cortex. It answered the question of why a telepathic species would need sign language. In humans, even when we imagine voices or use an internal voice it goes through the auditory. So, it makes sense that a telepathic species might use it’s auditory context to “hear” thoughts.

Are these people even watching the show? (probably deliberately disingenuous)

Ake sits up and also wears shoes when things are serious. It a consistent visual cue. I’d be as mad as they were if cadets were dying and she were laying back in the chair just shrugging it off, but that’s not at all what is happening. Part of her character is that she is serious only to the extent the situation requires, and I think that casual attitude makes sense for someone who has been around for hundred’s of years.

Well now I want them to release it in print.

It really felt like flipping a switch similar to when I left Catholicism. Once I started questioning borders, I very quickly got to the point of being utterly baffled that people buy into the idea of borders at all.

Coal is so stupid, expensive, and awful.

Trump should require the pentagon to use more horses and muskets.

She look stone cold and badass.

I don’t know what the conditions will be for my blue city in a red state come November. My plan is to vote early and spend election day seeking out ICE at any polling locations to film and heckle them. If they want to arrest me, my vote is already in and it will take them out of play for their role threatening voters. MN is showing us how we massively outnumber them and can stymie their tactics.

Wait…

no not that.

Fuck you coalie!

Just a looped audio track going “oh wow… really?.. that’s wild… haha…” while quacks and frauds babble.

Wherever you go, join the KC tenants union. They may also be able to recommend places that aren’t awful.

He was a fearless advocate for free speech…

…but please don’t talk about what he said.

If you are still unemployed., getting involved in mutual aid can actually be a great thing to do with your time. I started a Really Really Free Market during a tough time in my life and it has given me way more back than what I’ve invested into in terms of time energy and resources.

The engagement farming is reaching facebook levels.

Oh, but you forgot that all the problems are because the first woman ate the wrong fruit. The bible says that is why pregnancy hurts. The rest of those problems? Well creation scientists have determined that sin caused those too even though the bible didn’t specify it. They know this because they need it to be the case to keep believing in their mythology.

If these are the only satellites monitoring greenhouse gases the ESA should offer to buy control of the satellites from the US. That would keep them operating and might actually be appealing to trump.
