Speaking of locking car doors, Texas summers are so hot that you never have to worry when you get in your car that there might be a murderer hiding in the backseat.
Our family garden produced so many zucchini one year that our mom was taking fruit boxes full to church, to pinochle, to bridge . . . and we learned that there are a surprisingly many different things that can be done with the things.
I donât think we ever thought of just putting some in strangersâ cars, though.
Late summer zucchini are best used for canoes.
So I donât believe in the rapture and so on. But I enjoy horror and so I watched the 2023 left behind
film finallyâŚâŚ man. lol. Itâs insanely funny how this film mocks vaccines, real news ignored for fake news, weird Russian paranoia and so on.
How do different philosophies approach difficult problems?
Consider the case when all the houses of worship in a small town faced a squirrel infestation.
Squirrel Infestation Joke - Textkit Greek and Latin Forums.
The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldnât interfere with Godâs divine will.
At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of Godâs creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist Church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.
But the Catholic church came up with a very creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue; they took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They havenât seen a squirrel since.
Pretty sure that this is more expensive that itâs worth.
And if you donât take responsibility to get it returned to space, then youâve just added to the earthâs mass (and therefore gravity) and are unilaterally responsible for a bit of weight gain across the entire population! Be a good citizen and do your part!
[Maybe we need a presidential administration thatâs willing to get on this one. Could be Job 1 for Trump if heâs in office. Build a space wall to keep the meteors out.] ⌠and solve global warming in one fell swoop. If any other problems arise from it all, the next administration could deal with those.
No one has ever found a meteor on the ground.
My hair follicles went on strike. There are a few that cross the picket lines every once in a while, but they never last long.
I only get that when I look at Google Maps walking directions.
Couple of New Yorker cartoons used by Haidt in his book âAnxious Generationâ. I had shared one of these elsewhere - but itâs worth re-posting here.
And the one below from earlier in the bookâŚ
Finally! That solid dome! Hope the exterior is white reflective paint, though.
So thatâs where the multiverse comes from.
