Better fire management of national parks. Time to start doing controlled burns.

In my country there was like 10 wonderful years when almost nobody smoked.

In the last 5-10 years all that got reversed by vaping, it’s everywhere now. Not as bad as smoking though.

I want to buy an old police cruiser (crown Vic) and chop it up into a rally car, and do the gambler 500.

Why do they think it’s necessary to fill every area with music

It should be ok for places to be quiet. If employees want music they should wear headphones. That way they could listen to what they want too.

Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.

I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.

I have a setting and characters but no story. And I have stuff that could be part of a story, but I don’t know how to put it together. Like an arranged marriage, and jealousy between someone born to power and someone who fought to earn it. I just don’t know how to make a story that fits all of them in there.

When I retire I want to hike and camp, cook really nice meals, grow a garden, and make hot rods.

It took about a decade to undo the conditioning I gained in college and grad school to wake up every day at noon. Now, ten years later in my early 40s, I’m able to wake up at 10 am.

I got banned for suggesting that Hamas doesn’t care about Palestinian people, in the same comment where I said that Israel is committing genocide.

Some kind of purity test bullshit.

No I think Colorado USA is maybe the best place in the world to live as long as a certain asshole isn’t elected president.

All my friends live here and so does my family and I have no intention of leaving them, they are too important to me.

You know they’d still be shooting people, right?

People are posting all kinds of ridiculous solutions that they know are impossible. Legalize drugs. Use less drugs. The cartels run more than just drugs! They run fucking avocados!! And electronics!! They have diversified. Never mind that it’s politically impossible to do anything like that. It can’t happen.

Invading Mexico and shooting the cartels CAN happen. It gives money to the defense industry, which itself is enough reason that it could happen. It’s probably even in the USA’s best interest to try and de-corrupt Mexico (never mind that this would be a bloody mess with huge loss of life). My point isn’t that it’s a good idea, it’s that it’s a solution that could actually happen in real life.

Moving in with my parents, saving, buying real estate and then renting it out.

It’s because we live in an age where people use the tactic of “well I just like this one thing he said” as a gateway to awful shit.

Pre-9/11 airport travel

Every time I’m at the airport, I’m haunted by the memory of how it it was. We really fucked up. For something as important as public transportation, we really screwed up by sacrificing privacy for the fake feeling of security.

I think it’s exactly why they do it

Many people, including myself, are too dumb to understand that other people don’t value the same thing in us that we value in others.

You see them try and become what they like, in order to try to appeal to others. “Well I wish I got more attention, so I’m going to give tons and tons of attention to others”. “I wish someone would make a grand romantic gesture to me, so I’m going to do that to someone else”. That kind of thing.

This is sometimes called “fundamental attribution error” although I think that concept covers a bit more ground.

Playing magic cards. I just print them all off at the library

Going skiing and visiting hot springs in Japan

Starting to restore a 1964 corvette

Maybe learning to paint pottery
