So what are the people who do try supposed to do about the people who don't? I can't think of much you could do short of stealing everything from them.

Critter was pretty big on murdering people that acted like that (and great swaths of uninvolved innocents, o'course) and janking their stuff, though. Maybe that's what it wants to happen. The plagues and unfettered rapine orgies will come when the proletariat rise up en masse and start fervently killing the scions of Gomorrah.

Then again, that kinda' doesn't make the most sense, either. Critter was noted to personally get up and shitkick folks that did that, no jewish impetus needed. Not the most consistent subject, I guess.

... I didn't even know you could fill up the junk bag in the avernum remakes. I... now I know. I guess I should stop looting this bandit fort and go sell stuff...

... though, re: flashy miracles, it did just occur to me that the bible wasn't very big on flashy positive ones. I can't recall many towns being cured en masse or anything like that -- jesus tended to do pretty small scale stuff, and he was about the only thing worth a shit in the text insofar as that kind of thing went. It was mostly mass slaughters and curses and plagues and whatnot when divine intervention occurred. Lotta' nasty stuff, but about the largest scale nice thing I can recall of note was the ark, and that was less god doing anything (except maybe fitting all that stuff in the box) and more it warning a few people who actually did all the work. Plus it was alongside what was purported by the text as global scale genocide. Most of the other vaguely nice acts were also accomplished/accompanied by mass infanticide, murder, rape, etc., etc., etc. There's maybe a promised mass resurrection, but it's again alongside great horrors inflicted for roughly no apparent reason but to be a colossal jackass.

Maybe the biblical god can't help people out in regards to healing and whatnot to any substantial degree, which could be why prayers to help people just don't really seem to work. It would kinda' seem to follow the available evidence...

That's not a very specific designation, though. "Oh my god my own body is trying to kill me." describes a lot of things that isn't lupus...

You should ask Dr. ..

I should talk to a doctor period, heh, but that's not really on the table at the moment. Don't have enough income to get help getting health insurance (Fuck you, florida, and your ACA contrarian shitheels~), don't have the income to get health insurance, don't have the money to afford doctor trips. Might be improving in the near-ish future, but for the time being I mostly just try to avoid making things worse. S'just... sometimes not really an option, which means pain, ha.

Will keep it in mind, though. Relatively sure it'd be less of an issue if the shoes I'm wearing weren't about five years old (maybe more) with soles to match. They're a bit... worn. Still. Something to ask about.

how did so much fit in such a small building

we're not even done, but

today, i hauled out all the filled garbage bags to the pickup point

Two 33 gallon contractor bags, seven smaller normal-ish sized, and a full sized outdoors garbage can

there's still broken/trashable shit left in that building

much less, but goddamn

Not full on holy-shit-call-a-psychologist-and-maybe-a-priest hoarding, really, but definitely what you see as a precursor to it. S'just... no, grandparent. If it's been sitting buried under something since '94, you're not actually going to use it for anything. This holds true for '04, too! And a lot of other years, 'cause most of this shit hadn't seen the light of day in the better chunk of a decade. Yes, it could conceivably be repaired/repurposed/whatever (well, probably not, because if you use parts that eroded whatever you do with them is just going to goddamn break), but you're not going to at this point. Please stop saying you will. Actually, saying you will isn't an option now because it's in the garbage and soon to be gone, but still! And yes, before someone asks, the conversation has been had with the actual people involved. Doesn't stick.

Worst part is there's still like four or five buildings, fortunately mostly smaller, in about the same state. Just... starting from the beginning. Taking the time, et al. Maybe conveniently forgetting the other ones exist for a year or three, I'unno.
