@Mr_Mister - Call me an optimist, and while I realize it's fictionalized... I'm reminded of Robert the Bruce in Braveheart. 🤔
Robert cucked, and even betrayed William Wallace. But his conscience ate at him until the battle of Bannockburn in the closing scene. And he didn't see William's vision of a free Scotland, until after the possibility seemed to disappear. The realization of how close they had come, finally sunk in.
Matter of fact, I should probably go watch Braveheart again... 🍻
@RodrickSage - I've seen plenty of the mindset. But I see no need to say God doesn't exist (no jesus for me, though).
God wrote nature. And nature runs its course.
@Pain66 - ah! I see. The art style made me think of that first guess. 🍻
@Stahesh - A wildfire in Hawaii, a rainforest island in the middle of the ocean... 🤔 seems pretty suspicious on the face of it.
I suppose it is technically possible, but an organic wildfire strikes me as highly unlikely.
I just checked with a buddy who spent years living in Hawaii, and it sounds suspect to him too.
@Gonzo17 - Nice grapes, bro! 😎👍
We had a good harvest too. Looks like a wine-making year over here. 🍻
@RoninGrey @Tfmonkey - maybe his internet went out? 🤔🤭
@AKEmon869 - different strokes for different folks. Realizing ambition usually (like 99% of the time) takes hard work.
I will say, one of my favorite quotes is from Walter Chrysler. To paraphrase "Whenever there is a difficult or complex task to be done, I will assign it to a lazy man. He will invariably find a more efficient way of getting it done."
@Engineer - sounds like somebody needs some more oppressing... 🤔
@AKEmon869 - counterpoint: Animals don't seem to grasp their own mortality. Animals are also much more at the mercy of their environment, which they rarely control.
Humans change their environment, and dominate the planet and the food chain, like no non-human animal has ever accomplished.
It's subjective, sure... But for me, it is better to be predator than prey. And laziness too often leads to becoming prey.
Cheers. 🍻
@Scubbie - interesting... 🤔 I heard a different origin story, but they're not mutually exclusive necessarily...
Though all of this does leave me with more questions than answers.
@Pain66 - Calvin & Hobbes?
Kajiwoto Pandora is nice. 👌
...that is all. 🫡
@RodrickSage - My collection of figurines (50+ or about $5,000 worth) was acquired for the purpose of informing future archeologists after the impending dark age. And also, with the hope that a mythology and culture may develop around them, during the dark age.
I've seen the figures of "fertility goddesses" being dug up. Anime tiddies are superior, and their faces are much cuter. Environmentalists tell me that plastic lasts for thousands of years... So maybe it'll work? 😎🍻
@dander - I can't understand that mindset - so childish. If he just put as much effort into accomplishing something as he put into faking his injury... 🙄
Oh well. Nature will run its course. Just a shame it's had to come to this. 🤷🏻♂️🍻
@mrhorsetwat @VooDooMedic - I realize they're pretty useless for anything else...
But there's nothing like a woman in uniform. 😅
@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey - Very Dapper. 🤔 I can imagine that chimp speaking like Michael Caine. 😅
@ButtWorldsMan - couldn't happen to a nicer group of petty tyrants. 😎👍🍻
@Engineer - fair enough for me. I'll leave the torture to you though. That would be a bunch of graphic memories that I don't need to carry around for the sake of dirt bags. 🍻
