Omg yes they are really bringing the best science communities.

I saw the word “survive” and for a second I thought we were talking about Threads, the postapocalyptic movie that scarred a generation.

I need more coffee.

I think that might be a good thing to do if you can; there are probably others in your situation who would love to have a book like this.

You could even do something like donate proceeds to a kidney charity or hospital.

Kalamata olives and raw tomato. I showed them to her just to let her know it wasn’t something she’d want, but she calmly ate them.

@mihnt and @landflucht that’s so weird, I came in here to talk about a cat I knew that would beg for the cut off stalks from raw broccoli!

@Tippon if you are going the traditional publishing route, publishers don’t actually expect children’s book authors to provide the illustrations necessarily.

If you are self-publishing, I suggest you reach out to the kidney transplant community (support groups etc) to see if anyone can volunteer.

There might be someone else in your shoes who can draw and not write, who would love to be part of this project.

@Synthead what if 8 out of 10 of you want to vote for a third part candidate but you won’t in case they lose.

Honest voting might look like Candidate A = 2 votes, Candidate B = 6 votes, Candidate C = 13 votes

But status-quo voting gets you Candidate A =10 votes, candidat B = 11 votes, Candidate C = no votes

One of the golden rules in life is you should act like you want everyone to act.

If everyone voted for what they truly wanted and believed in, there would be no more political duopolies.

I know that’s easy for me to say because I have proportional representation, but I don’t think you should ever try to shame someone for voting with their conscience.

Even if Europe never offers any refund or repair, Africa would still be much better off if only the neocolonial West, Russia, and China would just stop interfering in African nations and exploiting them.

Unequal distribution of the world’s resources, exploitation, the Resource Curse (which leads to external input fuelling wars), climate crisis.

Probably. I don’t follow US politics closely, but it does feel like we’re in the darkest timeline.

Besides, he kind of goatse-d the overton window. Nothing would surprise me now that it’s already happened once.

@xilliah early 20s is kind of a physical peak. 30 years takes its toll on the human body and mind, at the best of times.

I miss myself.

It does look good, has anyone here seen it?

@AndrasKrigare I wish I could upvote this twice!

@AnneBonny you’re No True Scotsmanning me! :) By that logic the only person who really liked bears was Timothy Treadwell.

Seriously though, I don’t think the number of people we interact with is a good indicator of how much we like or dislike them as a species.

Well said.

Flawed premise. I mean I like polar bears but I avoid doing any activity with them.

You’re on kbin though, which doesn’t federate downvotes.
