Same, but I wanna be secretly fed to my family like a reverse version of South Park’s Cartman and Scott Tenorman.

Context: My family are cunts.

Just let the pig live on a nice farm omg.

As an Australian, I am shitfucked…

Time to build a robot to look after the dog when I’m gone…

I’m intrigued to hear you mention magic. My current slogan is “Tech. Magic. Action.”, which I believe are the three pillars needed.

I’m a software engineer and technical director of my own media studio. I have recently been trying to nudge my career into that next level where I combine creativity with technology and just tell people what I do is magic, so I don’t have to go too deep into the inner workings of things. I can explain the how, but honestly over the years I’ve learned people don’t want to know how things work, or why we do them, they just want to reap the benefits.

In Jodorowsky’s Technopriests, the protagonist seeks to guide his people to a place where they can establish a new society. One where harmonious human relationships are valued more than technological prowess corrupted by an excess of total science and a total lack of consciousness.

I wonder how we can replicate such a journey in real life. Because it’s desperately needed.

I agree with this, but it’s more than just getting along that the left is failing at. We need to organise better, fight more effectively and build strong communities. This is something the religious folks have mastered.

The boomers will almost all be dead. I assume.

It gets better when you get used to this problem and something far worse comes along, making you wish you just had the original problem.

Except for Dogman, who was bitten by a radioactive dog during a school trip. Now he can use scent to track his enemies and hear a bad guy whisper across a building.

From a mental health POV, having dogs has definitely helped me maintain routine, reduce emotional escalation and kept me aware of how I am accountable to keep them going too.

Sometimes you can get so stuck in your ways, thinking in the moment you need to panic to survive. It takes a cute animal reacting to that to make you realise there’s other ways to be.

tl;dr - Dogs teach us to be better people.
