I almost included octopi in there but it didn't really fit the narrative I was selling on body type. They are super intelligence with problem solving skills and the ability to use tools. Their problem is that they have extremely short lifespans disproportionate to their intelligence. Each generation resets at square 1. But there might also be something to be said about marine life versus land-based life, and we don't have any land-based tentacle monsters to compare to. Which probably reverts back to the "we don't know what we don't know" rationale.

loooooooool I had to bust out the calculator tonight to figure out my shit and I still accrue $785 in interest per month

OK OK OK so hear me out: Yes, it's true that in the vastness of the universe, life probably develops in all sorts of ways we don't know to comprehend. BUT! To the extent that the 3D reality our senses perceive is the extent of what there is (so no fourth-dimensional shenanigans etc.), it seems like there are three fundamental components necessary for a race to achieve advancement necessary to travel the stars: intelligence/logic communication to transmit/retain information the physical ability to finely manipulate the environment So here's the thought. We all know dolphins are real smart, right? Check off box one. And we know they are very social and can communicate, yeah? Ok, check box two. Here's where they fall flat, they've got no fuckin hands. They can manipulate the environment with their faces, or their bodies, at best. They simply cannot make complex tools necessary to develop a civilization, not even getting to the spacefaring part. All the intelligence in the world doesn't make up for the fact that they don't have fuckin hands. Maybe - just maybe - the basic body structure with hands/digits is just like a biological minimum threshold to ever have the possibility of developing a civilization that can explore the stars.

@wacky1980 it is level-up time when we are both available.

Here is the official announcement: https://www.cartercenter.org/news/pr/2023/statement-rosalynn-carter-111923.html

happy Thanksgiving ghostrek

@Rogue_Alphonse is really getting into the spirit

The editor of a regional paper wrote an opinion piece on why he's officially stopped using Twitter. Buried behind all the personal reasons for quitting was this line, which I think reflects a critical pivot in the death spiral: As institutional users realize there's no traffic/financial benefit to sharing content, they will stop investing in sharing content. Now factor that in with the current twitter shitshow - Elon is actively threatening to sue Media Matters for their below report causing advertisers to drop the platform: https://twitter.com/mmfa/status/1725566933213294860 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1725771191644758037 If there is no reputable benefit to posting content or posting ads, reputable content and ads will stop being posted and the site will burn out from both ends.

happy birthday @JeNewBee

Does each Santa hat variant come with it's own unique powers? What does traffic cone Santa get to do?

I am out but let me see if I can replicate the problem when I'm at my PC

The GOP ethics chair plans to move to expel so there's a fair chance at this point.
