I don't know why people are downvoting you.

What you're saying isn't objectively untrue.

Alcohol is horrible for you, and so are most other drugs, but alcohol is horrible for you no doubt.

You're right.

There's probably some other GABAergic drugs that could have that same effect that aren't as common though.

42524 years for it to move a mile.

I'm only slightly faster.

I will remember this for the next 50 years and maybe use it once.

Edit: I will be cursing you when I forget my dog's face but remember fucking "Fennoscandia".

I think it's more like "this is where my pack goes".

I don't think they view themselves as being that different from us.

Scrombus looks like he ate a funky soul.

This is actually what it would look like at certain points in the cycle.

You're onto something.

That's an interesting and apt point.

However the whale is nevertheless a mortal creature, and the balance between life and death always eventually tips towards death. We could discuss what exactly the whale will eventually succumb to, but I'm not sure if that would add anything.

Anyway, the important thing is that there are still other healthy whales, which there won't be at the current trajectory.

Perpetual growth is impossible. The learned prior to the advent of the "global economy" were aware of this, but the "ambition", as you kindly put it, of a few with too much influence lead to warnings going unheeded.

Perpetual growth, like a cancer that eventually kills it's host.

Nah. That's also a symptom. There's something else going on that I cannot claim to understand.

Those two things are analogous to a fever and an abscess.

I think I get where you're coming from. Youre completely right that there has been things before that were equally obscene, but what gets me it's that it topped the charts AND lacks any and all subtlety. It seemed that in the past things in that vein were at least camouflaged and could still arguably be called art. That's just utter dreck, and it's being lauded.

Utter dreck that would have been paid no attention in the past is now the most popular thing.

That song and others like it in and of themselves are not a problem, it's a symptom of other things which are actual problems.

Really? The blatant vulgarity and glorification of... I'm not even sure what to call that. But that doesn't strike you? Make you think that the world is going down hill?

Every generation thinks that, and there's worse things than that song, but still. It's pretty emblematic of modern America.

You don't know WAP?

I listened to it a few times, mostly in bewilderment and disbelief.

Harbinger of sexy.

That actually made my stomach hurt a little.

Good job.

Would love to see this colorized. Your use of shape to create texture is very good.
