I think that console is toast.

The duality of book owning.

Depends on what you consider winning. But for most people owning everything they can want is winning. For some it's personal fulfillment, still money helps in that sense. So it's a easy mode I guess.

Relatively

Compassion. I used to be a terribly selfish person. Still mostly am.

It's a pay to play opt-out sandbox.

Ergo urban jungle.

Incapacity to discuss random topics just for the fun of it. Taking herself too seriously.

This is gonna sound silly, but feeding the local birds is really therapeutical. For the span of a moment it's not about you, it's about the simplicity of feeding an animal you don't know, that will likely not care if you come back. No strings attached.

I used to wonder why old people do that, now I get it. It just feels nice.

A word of advice though if you plan on doing that, look up what you should and should not feed wild animals. Bread is supposedly terrible for ducks. And crows will go crazy about peanuts. Funny to see them crack them open too.

What a terrible loss...such a young helicopter.

Well that's because I didn't say 80% :) I said "to some people" and the study also shows it varies from neutral to pleasant.

Some days I wish I could not smell it at all given how repugnant it smells to me.

Try different genes. Cilantro tastes and smells like stinkbug to me, aka, disgusting.

I'll link a reddit comment for source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Entomology/comments/b5kv3l/comment/ejepo22/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

And if you don't want to open the link: "Stink bugs "stink" because of two chemicals: trans-2-decenal and trans-2-octenal. Interestingly, those two chemicals are also found in cilantro (Coriander sativum), for which the mystery of why some people hate the taste of cilantro with a passion has been researched; turns out that only if you have a specific variant of olfactory receptors you can actually smell these two chemicals. People who have these receptors perceive both stink bugs and cilantro as soapy and pungent, while all others perceive it as neutral to pleasant. The part of the population who perceives stink bugs / cilantro as unpleasant is dependent on genetic ancestry and ranges from 3-21%"

When you realize that by the time all atoms cease exist and light is but a long gone memory, the universe will have barely aged.

Fun fact, stinkbugs produce a similar smell to cilantro. So to some people stinkbugs ironically smell nice.

I fail to see the path you took to OPs garden.

Pretty much like any tool can be used to do harm in fact.

Moral is dependent on the time and the place. What was morally justified yesterday might be offensive tomorrow.

For example: Adolf Hitler could have been a moral genius in regards to eugenics whereas Martin Luther King would have been a moral idiot.
