Respect o7

I know some who went to Linux and a few who moved to Mac. But no one is seeing Win11 and saying “oh man, I gotta get in on that”.

They most definitely do. My boy “answers” questions when using the right inflection, every time. Apart from that, I pour my heart out to them. They’re the best listeners in the world, and they keep you warm to boot.

It’s not exactly as elaborate as gaining an whole new pov, but it’s nonetheless similar.

The future is already here. It’s just unevenly distributed.

This isn’t about a generational hand-me-down dildo, is it?

Wasn’t McCain one of them? The last republican with some modicum of decorum.

You might be part otter. They can close their noses from within when diving.

You come across them in theme parks sometimes.

A gold signet ring that belonged to my grandfather and has his initials.

A cheap silver ring found in a clearance sale, given to me by my SO

A small piece of meteoroid, and a slice of another

A bronze Roman house key

A Greek iron war-arrow

And a decent collection of coins, each with their own story to tell

Those are the only material possessions I have on this earth that I have an emotional connection with. I don’t care for riches or luxuries beyond being able to interact with the above and maybe grow it, when circumstances permit.
