Every time it’s gotten to this point in the past, I’ve regretted having the convo and felt dumber for getting bogged down in it.

I could use a refresh as while I went to college for politics, I started smoking weed because of how viciously Bernie was shit on and how that directly led to a Trump win. Everything political since then has been a brown haze of shit.

Bigger text doesn’t make your point look better it makes it look obnoxious, but there is a lot of truth in that.

Our problem is we’ve grown so big because we’ve had more nature to conquer and now we’ve conquered the land, we only have each other left to conquer unless we figure out a way to conquer more nature.
