Hear y’all hear y’all, Reggie King from o’er the holler brought pawpaw moonshine for the weddin’

Oh he’s very much not gone yet…

Russia isn’t paying for this shit anymore, so you must be doing it for free. Don’t you have anything better to do?

I’m sorry, just my anxiety speaking there. Of course you’re right, but if Trump death squads purge the undesirables, nobody will be left to defend the environment, and this is on a shorter time table.

I apologize for my candor. I’m spiraling a bit.

Honestly, I can’t be bothered to worry about the climate 100 years from now when we’re going to be attacking (many more) Americans 100 days from now

You need empathy to moderate. What other reason is there to do it? You want to make the community a better place by keeping things civil and on-topic. You also need to be able to level with people about their criticisms and concerns.

Facts don’t matter to that crowd anyway

I had no idea I even relied on them until they were down. My favorite podcast hosts through them and I had to find a workaround.

QWERPline and Welcome to Nightvale. Both of them are comedy faux local radio broadcasts on completely different ends of the spectrum.

How high are you

They’re too busy for international terrorism now they’re running the country. They only have time for domestic.

Gormless - Lacking initiative, foolish

Copacetic - correct, orderly, good

The other horizon, the one behind you

Just like anything else, this kind of disaster is very unlikely and is sensationalized when they happen. It’s like being worried you’ll be hit by a meteorite.

Maybe it was just family physically in the room? You could monitor the air composition with a video feed from elsewhere, even just a room over.

EDIT: Ok just read through the article:

“the death took place in the open air under a canopy of trees in a private forest retreat near the German border with the association’s co-president, Dr. Florian Willet, the sole person present.”

So he wasn’t present or nearby, but someone else from the company was.

Also this bit sticks out to me (emphasis mine):

“On displaying cogency and an understanding of the stakes, it becomes possible push the button to activate the process, which cannot then be aborted.”

I wonder if this is a legal sticking point? If someone presses it and immediately has second thoughts, shouldn’t they have the freedom to open it and cancel the process?

That’s awful :( I genuinely can’t imagine how painful that is.

I’m very aware of how lucky I’ve been, and that it’s only a matter of time before that changes. My grandpa is losing his memory, and I’m going out to visit soon. I tell myself “Someday in the near future, I’ll wish I could come back to today.”

I’ve never had a close family member or friend die. I have siblings, they have families. Both my grandparents on one side are alive, the other two died when I was an infant. I have dozens of cousins that are all in good health. Closest thing was my spouse’s grandpa. I’ve been phenominally lucky.
