I'm curious how much of the really out-of-pocket stuff here is drawn from users' actual words in product reviews, because my version of this page is extremely bland (except that it thinks I have two copies of my kid, maybe because I buy clothes across gender divisions?)

Good Morning, everyone. Here's a little #wednesdaywisdom to start the day.
A Crested Auklet, a small grey seabird with an orange beak and a tuft of feathers on its head, tilts its head comically while perched on a mossy rock. White text around it reads: "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ~ Herm Albright"

i guess the problem of learning so much about the human animal and the ecology we exist in and how we manage things treat others and think through things and why all the horrors of the world exist is you get to a point where you look at the person across from you and the world looks back.

Always funny when ostensible liberals are like "You see, this postcolonial conflict is actually very nuanced and complex, because what makes it so very unique is that the majority ethnic group doesn't want to share power with the minority ethnic groups." Oh wow, I didn't know that, that's wild man.

so track diesel that is what drives the economy not energy but power (energy + time). Diesel powers trucks, trains, mining equipment, big machines, the US does not have DIESEL oil , they have light crude which can't make diesel. so the issue is that the gas produce every day can't save us.
