I just see the kid crawling out of the crib, across the beds, and then rolling around the barrels like one of those roller conveyer belts. You wake up at night to a steady *babby noises, thump, babby noises, thump* sound.

There's an inherent sort of hubris to that sentiment I think... the general belief that somehow what we do or the spaces we make is apart from nature, like the house or city is somehow fundamentally different in nature from the dam or burrow or mound.

Scope and effect, probably, but it's a very human arrogance to look at what we do and claim that we're apart from nature just because you're inside a high rise or something, as if that distinctly cleaves you from atmosphere pressures or tectonics or grasping roots or every tiny ecosystem, like walls magically stop pigeons from roosting on them or bugs from finding their way through life in the crawl ways. The city is nature just as much as the forest, just with different specifics.

... more self destructive than most forests, probably, but it's not like those don't have their equilibriums break down without our influence, too. For all we accelerate a great pile of things, fundamentally most of what we do just... isn't special, in the grand scheme of things.

It's kinda weird how English doesn't differentiate between singular and plural "you".

"You" and "Y'all"

wrongly implying y'all isn't used as a singular you, I see

So apparently abaddon had to ban discussion of the Jaggahog on the KSBD discord. Comic's going places!

I mean, you can get anyone to claim that if you're sufficiently motivated. All you need as an aid is something able to non-fatally remove nipples.

Other people's blood bothers me a fair bit, for whatever reason. Not fond of it on TV, on animals, people, meat... much of anything. Photorealistic/real life gore in general is just a sort of "Y'know, I'd just rather not, thanks."

My own blood doesn't have nearly as much effect, though. At one point I was bleeding basically constantly for about six months straight (surgery that was found to be bungled after a few months, necessitating a second surgery and recovery -- don't listen when they say you're good to be sewn back up right after the surgery, folks), and by the time that got wrapped up I think I was pretty much used to it.

I mean, just from that post, I'm sorry LB but in the US you'd be a dirty leftist, just due to your position on green energy, climate change, and conspiracy theories, never mind the vaccine stance. Claiming to be republican would just get RINO labels slathered over you, these days
