A prequel seems like it would be unnecessarily putting themselves in a narrative box.

It would be far more interesting to me to either do a time jump forward, or go someplace else. They have the mists in the setting already to explore.

Ooh a Unitarian. Don't even have to be Catholic. I used to hang with unitarians. Some good folks there.

Pretty good. Didn't have to worry about my parents barging in, or bickering, or any of that.

If the “geniuses” who run these tech firms spent less money lobbying politicians and instead offered to pay for the college tuition of every student who successfully graduated from the local high school, they would probably get a very different reaction from the public.

Yeah , they could do a lot with their wealth. Unfortunately they are stupid and selfish. They're playing a dangerous game and eventually they'll roll for guillotines.

Momentum was not with project opponents, however, some of whom suggested no one would use the bike lane even as dozens of their neighbors spoke out in favor of its installation.

Self centered idiots

Bike lane opponents’ concerns always turn out to be “unfounded,” said longtime CB7 member and current CB7 transportation co-chair Ken Coughlin.

“I’ve been through all the bike lane battles, every single one, and it’s always been like this,” he said on Tuesday. “People said businesses will suffer, safety will be compromised, especially for pedestrians, and there will be more congestion — and in every case, it’s proven to be unfounded.”

And yet pro-car people never seem to learn. I guess for a lot of them it's a "this is the first time I've ever thought about this problem"

It helps that I'm absolutely not a picky eater. Rice. Beans. Whatever random spices speak to me. Done. Content.

Not scared enough

There's really no way I'm buying a PlayStation exclusive. Even if someone gave me a PlayStation for free, I'd hesitate.

Meh. Is it still going to have "you're not high enough level to wear these pants" nonsense? Care more about that than cinematics.

A DM running a traditional game of D&D?

Probably. They could have used their wealth for anything but they're like dragons. Do you mourn for dragons in stories of knights slaying them?

Well, at the top of the hierarchy is probably capitalism. That's largely why the climate is changing, why I don't have a good job, why I need a good job to live a decent life, and so on.

More immediately, my water glass is empty but my cat is sleeping on my chest. I'm thirsty but Mr Meows is so content.
