So’s the dog
Not many thugs or ne’er-do-wells left in a neighborhood after a dog that size moves in

Word. I appreciate where you’re coming from, and that you shared. I found it interesting and thought provoking.
Some of the stuff is more correlation than causation IMO, but that doesn’t make it untrue per se.
It also pressumes a specific belief in the creation of the universe, but within that belief, it’s quite insightful I think.
Thanks for explaining and not just insulting me like some people do.

I personally disagree with the underlying belief in evolution, but understanding your viewpoint I agree with your conclusions: If evolution is true as commonly believed then everything you’ve said is both true and surprisingly interesting.
I didn’t know elephants had funerals. I had assumed this one was from ants, who collect the dead in a graveyard. I’m not convinced this == spirituality, but neither will I refute the point. I accept it as “perhaps”.

But how would you prove that? Maybe they got the idea from humans and not the other way around. Or perhaps they were invented independently.
Also: which animal has spirituality?
Which has clothing?
And which has language?

What? Just because some animal/insect does [thing] doesn’t mean humans did not invent [thing].
Causation =/= correlation

Uhuh. I get that contracts have fine print and all, but I’m pretty sure this line here actually says something about ‘eternal servitude’ instead of just underlining that clause

My friend canceled on DnD night because migraine. She’s a Druid, so we joked that it’s been too cold for gardening. That lead me to this.

“Of course there is.”

Nitroglycerin is an extremely energetic explosive. Ever wondered why?
Ergot Alkaloids are mana sinks. They absorb some of the mana in your body and allow it to be passed like food.

Now you need to work with the system to hire as many ‘mages’ as possible
Good story. I like your take on it. Thanks for sharing

LPT: This is actually not healthy. Making your bed immediately after waking traps in bacteria and moisture. It’s much better to let your bed air out for a couple hours.
So, while it might encourage some positive habits or something, it’s quite disgusting.
