I think I do more good than harm and am satisfied enough with that. Not like there’s a punch card system where I can do 9 good things and get a free pass to do something bad but I know I’ll accidentally screw things up sometimes or make intentional decisions where the least bad option available still isn’t great.

Shamelessly ripping off a bit from Randall Munroe but it entertains me too.

Existence or absence of alien life has no reason to impact how little or how much space is out there. The universe is big ^{[citation needed]} so odds are pretty good that there is, was, or will be life somewhere other than here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation are worth a read in case you’re not already familiar. Drake equation is focused on our galaxy but the same line of reasoning ought to apply more broadly.

It’s not all bad, I probably wouldn’t have thought of the fodder pun otherwise and I’m unreasonably happy with it. Your contributions are appreciated.

This is a fodder joke.

Can’t wait to see how much I like it tomorrow.

That’s a fodder joke.

Arrest Flock employees too, they’ve got tons of the things.

That’s Count Binface to you, commoner.

It’s an early form of a 419 scammer’s typo-riddled email or letter. Filter out anyone who pays attention to inconsistencies and you can squeeze some easy money from the gullible leftovers.

But I’ll never remember all of that!

It is common sense but that’s a high bar to clear for some. Part of the standard rules of firearm safety:

Treat every firearm as if it were loaded.
Never point a firearm at anything you aren’t willing to shoot.
Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you’re ready to fire.
Keep the weapon on safe until you intend to fire.

Some amplify rule 2 with “know your target and what lies beyond it” which is good advice too. Follow all the rules at all times and your risk of negligent injury to yourself or others is massively reduced.

Setting aside the possibility that this was an intentional and malicious act (which I wouldn’t rule out), the killer broke all four rules. Says he had two cups of wine too but that’s also the typical answer you hear from somebody on a DUI stop before they blow a .26 on the breathalyzer.

Expect it to get worse. Either I’m wrong and pleasantly surprised or I get to be right as a consolation prize. Also encourages me to plan ahead so when things go bad, I don’t spend as much time mid-crisis figuring out what to do.

He’s going to stab a guy in prison over whose ramen seasoning packet is saltier.

You posted twice, no great mystery here. Could pick one to delete.

Because wearing an inflatable dinosaur costume would interfere with their range of motion.

You’re right, time to buy a red hat and a Cybertruck that’s been modified to roll coal.

Sometimes you just have to accept the L and do your best to make a Dean-gnfied exit.
