I just had to transfer every picture and video off my phone to scrounge up enough space to update the game, it's getting to be quite the chunky app. ANYWAYS the season ends in 34 hours with the 1.5x XP bonus going too, so I will presumably pop the pooh and wacky gifts tomorrow.

ITN: Former President Carter (no longer) in Hospice Care
Raptorpat replied to Master-Debater131's topic in Current Events
I turned on the Rosalynn Carter funeral and Jimmy does not look great (obviously). Basically in a mobile hospital bed in the front row with a suit jacket and blanket on, head tilted back back/mouth open. -

I remember when my sister was born, which I was a few months away from turning three, and seeing my great grandmother in the hospital around the same time. I can also remember my great grandmother's parlor, which I would only have been prior to that. Hard to really pin a date to anything else.

2024 Presidential Elections: the schadenfreude commences
Raptorpat replied to NewBluntsworth's topic in Current Events
From what I've seen, it's even worse in the states like MI and AZ where the maga wing completely took over the state party infrastructures. They're basically bankrupt. -
I don't really want anything HOWEVER It's the first Christmas where the babbs is old enough to understand everything that's going on and to really anticipate something out of it - but what the heck do you get a toddler who already has a house full of toys and books we can't seem to phase out fast enough, without just adding to the pile? I'm thinking her gift-unwrapping number gets padded out with clothes and snacks, but she's gonna have to get more toys and books.

UFOs: Not just for Tinfoil Hats anymore
Raptorpat replied to Master-Debater131's topic in Current Events
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

UFOs: Not just for Tinfoil Hats anymore
Raptorpat replied to Master-Debater131's topic in Current Events
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.
