In Becky Chambers’ Wayfarer series, there is a species who actually breathes methane. The focus though is less on how that actually happens and more on how they navigate as the only species for whom oxygen is toxic. It’s a great series, btw. It’s a not-quite-as-optimistic as star trek future, but still optimistic and with a vast range of species who are all intermingling as learning how to get along.

I always get excited when I see a new Konsi comic :)

Low effort? I thought winning a tournament was big effort!

Think woodlice 6 feet long, spiders the size of dogs, millipedes as big as cars, and dragonflies as big as eagles.

No, I don’t think I will

F# also does that

I’m so tired…

I’ll watch it

That was… particularly dumb

Life is full of adventure!

Thanks a bunch!

I’ve used Wise before and it’s worked well. There is a fee though, so I’m not sure if it’s better than PayPal. Good luck there.

Well, ok then haha. You’ve convinced me.

Sorry, I meant which community. I did some scanning but I didn’t really see anything that seemed to fit the bill of “make friends” or “being lonely”.

I’ll just point out I’ve had a lot of landlords and never had one do that. Nor have I known one. While they may exist, I’ll count it in the realm of “I’ll likely never see one in my lifetime.” Or maybe I’ll see one. So to me, the Good Landlord is a theoretical or a parable.

Didn’t this show up in Google AI recently?

I was just reminded of a Christian movie, might have been Megiddo flame or something, or left behind? Where the evil villains of the show, the anti-christ, were very ominously talking of their plans to…end world hunger and bring world peace like MWAH AHAHAHA!

That’s the sort of people christians call bad guys. And it wasn’t just in movies, I heard stuff like that all the time in church.

How would you plan to change society? That sounds like a big ask of someone.

I totally say someone should leave if they want, I’m currently leaving the US and traveling and am looking for a place to settle that isn’t America.

But remember something: America is funding Israel and helping with Gaza, so I don’t know about choosing America to get away from that. It is a step removed at least?

It’s not cowardly to leave. Also, you can always change your mind or move on if that choice doesn’t work out. I’d leave. But I’m already doing that.

Wait, who’s that?
