if you think it's all likely to fall apart soon, file asap if you're expecting to get money back, but put it off as long as possible if you're gonna have to pay them more. if the government is going down, might as well get your piece of it while you can.
haven't seen it, but this gave me an idea for an even more impractical design that i wanna make now. ya'll ever hear of the Christ the Redeemer statue?
i mean, i guess i'd feel safe, but probably not super comfortable, given that they are all three very dead.
graphics and UI-wise, it definitely gives me runescape vibes, even if the gameplay is totally different.
that is just an oft-repeated myth that capitalism uses to perpetuate itself.
to cite one example, just last night i happened to watch the episode "I Second That Emotion". in this, bender is so upset that others are paying attention to nibbler instead of him at nibbler's birthday party that he makes a big cake with his own name in huge letters, and when nibbler eats it before everyone else can see it and recognize how great bender is, he flushes nibbler down the toilet.
if you can forget why you ever loved your family, couldn't you also forget the things you've done and seen and approach them with new wonder and never get bored?
that's quite besides the point though. i feel like you're focusing too much on the 'forever' aspect. obviously, if you really feel like you've 100%ed reality and want to, you can choose to die, but i don't think you'd be likely to reach that point because the universe is not a static place. the world is constantly changing, so by the time you'd seen 'everything' that same everything would be different.
also, i've found that relationships can certainly wither even within a normal human lifespan, if not maintained, but if they are, you'll be reminded of why you love each other regularly enough to not forget.
wait, are you saying the lightweight DE crowd hates Xfce? what do they like then?
honestly, kinda refreshing to see a business not changing their shit constantly just to change shit. it's not the nicest pen, but it works.
i know they aren't mutually exclusive claims, they just seem unrelated, which is why your shift in topic seemed unexpected to me. maybe they're not for you? do you want to die eventually because you think you have to anyway? is this a general policy of not wanting things that seem difficult to get? personally, there's loads of things i'd like that are currently anywhere from difficult to impossible to achieve.
i just can't bring myself to see the prospect of everyone i know and love withering away and ceasing to exist within a century as anything other than a horrible tragedy. maybe it's unavoidable (though i have some hope that it isn't), but that doesn't mean i have to like it.
thanks for the heads up and the link!
