I don't like spiders- they have always creeped me out. But there's one that has taken up residence over the bush by our door. It's huge and orange and sleeps(?) under a leaf when it rains. It would be cute if it wasn't so horrifying, and I watch it grow with curiosity and despair.

I'm in a d&d game where you pay for every session (worth it our DM is great), and one of our players consistently just ... Not paying attention or participating. Buddy you're paying to not play! It's very irritating because our DM has to keep prompting him to pay attention.

It's not really a paradox, but;
- they came and went before we were able to detect it and left no trace
- they left a trace but it was destroyed
- they're observing us from so far away that they didn't see any life
- they came and replaced us all, we are the aliens, it's 3/15/2032
- they came and went before we were able to detect it and left no trace

The Fermi paradox asks why we've yet to find evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. The odds are we should!
A NASA scientist suggests that "alien societies might plateau at modest technological levels and even grow bored with exploration."

Generational wealth should be limited, and a historical rebalancing of those books is necessary for progress.
Children should be taught bodily autonomy EARLY, and as a society we should support and enforce their decisions. Forcing kids into unwanted physical contact is evil.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Just talked with a professor from France who informed me that they just don’t do evictions in the winter where he’s from and that that’s extremely normal. It would be a BATTLE to get a policy like that in Portland.
