This has been my dream for years. I long for the day when science splices human DNA and pygmy marmoset DNA, creating tiny little borrower people. I will build them doll houses and ask for nothing in return. They will be too pure and good for capitalism, they must be provided for.
Don't feel bad. Ancestry gave me that thing for famous people in my tree. Turns out, I'm related to several of them on both sides. Your grandma mentioned is probably grandma on one side and great grand aunt on another or something.
... Or your parents are secretly flowers in the attic-ing you, in which case do not allow yourself to be locked in the attic. Always carry your cell to call the police.
I'd suggest not checking Grandma's nightstand, then.
No joke, it's why I switched to French press. I've been a renter my whole life, and with moving a lot from cheap(est available) housing to cheap housing over and over, ya gonna get roaches. Sometimes they're easily dealt with, sometimes it's an ongoing problem and you'll never be rid of them until you move. Rice and flour and sugar can be kept in cannisters, most things can be kept safe from roaches. But the coffee maker? Fucking thing is mecca to roaches. But a French press, water heated with the kettle? That can be washed beforehand every single time, and be guaranteed to be roach free.
Switched when we had them bad, and never looked back. Even when there aren't roaches, because I love the taste of the coffee now, but more importantly, it gives me peace of mind.
Oh yeah, gotta keep it dolphin-with-a-brazilian smooth. The trick is to skip the shaving, waxing and Nair style stuff. Just use a Zippo and burn the hairs off. Baby smooth in no time.
It's less "everyone gets in" and more that finite crimes do not deserve infinite punishment. Universalists tend to believe that we will, with few if any exceptions, all be reunified with God. Immortal souls being punished endlessly is less than a loving concept, when any sins/crimes they committed were by nature not infinite or endless themselves. Advaita vedanta has a similar concept, as well as other branches of Hinduism such as kashmiri shaivism. Lots of religions have a concept of universal salvation or reconciliation.
Hello fellow universalist!
That's assuming that for right now. What if it went on for another billion years or so. What of all the humans descendants?
I never read them when I was super young, so I'm mostly well adjusted. Haha. First time was when I was 16, got stoned at a buddy's place and the power went out. He took a nap, and I read Visser. Lemme tell you, that's one helluvan introduction to the series.
Considering how cheap they are? Human workers in the third world
So I'm what one might call a basic user. Mainly browser based tasks. I can use the terminal, but I don't have really much of anything memorized. Imagine giving a desktop running Fedora to your great aunt, not that one, the other one, who's constantly smoking and sexually harasses the busboys when they come to clean away the ashtrays. That one. That's my level of Linux proficiency.
Are any of these things I might be able to do? I would genuinely love to help, but I use FOSS for philosophical reasons, not because I understand the techy stuff. If it's doable at my level (or an achievable level), I'm eager.
It's a hobby more than an anything else.
