@Aleums justified! honestly i have drifted so far from the pulse of the mainstream that i didn't realize people still think that particular "joke" is funny. punchline from an episode of Friends or something.

@Aleums i have some nice acqauintances on there but in general the vibes are of a certain Reddit vintage that matches up with that.

also did that post get boosted or did that guy randomly dig up a 4 year old post to be obnoxious to??

everyone's asleep, found the good vape, just put on @Aleums 's Reality Machine for the first time, alone time engage

@Aleums one of these jerks? their "stink" can be kinda grassy or even in the neighborhood of cilantro or bell pepper

Seconding Ascension, it's similar to Dominion if you've ever encountered that one. I'd also throw in Valley of the Kings and Race for the Galaxy as great 2p deckbuilding options.

Another fun one with deckbuilding as an element is Clank! but i think it's at its best with 3-4 players. Maybe less true for the new iteration (Catacombs) but i haven't gotten to play that one yet.

Thinking again about the mind-boggling mass of wood that's being moved and disposed of across western NC after the storm. There's so much, and it's heavy, and unwieldy, and dangerous at times. Much of it resists easy stacking. It's obviously impractical to dispose of, in the modern solid waste sense. But the demands of our harsh God, The Economy, insist that it must be removed and discarded anyway, with all reasonable speed, to minimize disruptions to profit.

And I think about how much of the living energy of the mountains for a hundred years or more is bound up in that wood. If we had the time and the tools and the skills, we could put so much of it to so many uses. Or we could leave it be, rearrange paths and roads and plans to accommodate the needs of the soil.

But instead, the bulk of it will be (as far as I can tell) shredded, burned, or just dumped, far from where it grew.

It was the worst of times, it was the New York Times

Would you like to enable fascism?

Some things people mean when they say the world is ending:

- the literal ecological collapse unfolding
- the slow crumbling of the westphalian order
- my worldview has been inarguably refuted, but i must cling to it
- my (illusion of) safety is being threatened and i'm not used to this

Who called them magic mushrooms and not sporecery!?
