For people who want an in depth exploration of what bureaucratic bullshit has been keeping trains from being used for people in the US, I submit Climate Town’s very funny and educational video.
Tldw: we got trains but it’s for stuff not people
I’m saying I don’t want to buy a new thing, so saying “just buy new phone” doesn’t really help for a lot of people

You ever stay up so late you get loopy, maybe even giggly? Can’t think straight because you’re tired? It’s about that level. It feels different and more fun, but it’s about comparable to the level of loss of control and mental capabilities.
I don’t think off topic is very subjective that often, and if you’re not sure just don’t vote. I gave an example of off topic behavior and, you know, it was too help you out. So you wouldn’t feel so bad about down voting. And then you tried to bicker with me about the details.
You’re supposed to downvote. If something is off topic especially, but also if something is toxic or against the rules.
If there was a community where the joke was “you can only reply PANTS” and then someone started to comment about the downfall of capitalism, you downvote that shit into oblivion even if you agree with it out of context.
Why are you ragging on your daughter? It’s your fault she doesn’t know how to load a dishwasher, and this is a legit pizza strategy. It and the fruit are on top probably because they needed put away quickly. Why are you posting her business on the Internet? If you’re infuriated why didn’t you reach her how to load a dishwasher? If this is her house, why is any of this your business?
At least they are posting something and keeping the community active. We can’t all be lurkers.

Illusions by Richard Bach, subtitled The Tale of the Reluctant Messiah. A beautiful book about the universe and spirituality.

So this guy is a Messiah that one day just quits to fly airplanes.
It’s funny, it’s inspiring, it’s a little sad, but hopeful. It’s also very short, you can easily read it in an afternoon.
Ok first of all, it’s a turn of phrase that means “recommend a book you really like”. Secondly, people should absolutely read books they don’t understand and also should absolutely read books they don’t like. The former challenges you to learn and the latter challenges your taste or morals. Those types of books help you grow.
Whatever you are is no longer tethered to physical reality so whatever you think will happen, happens to you.
System of choice? Maybe no death whatsoever. Or that people’s spirits continue on and can opt to be ghosts or do whatever but it’s so unanimous and known it’s like “did you hear Greg died? Well he can’t type his report up so you have to type it out for him before he retires. Lucky bastard doesn’t have to eat the gross sheet cake we got for him and can retire.”
Ones?
Yeah we find new bugs and animals and plants all the time. We find new planets. Stuff doesn’t pop onto existence once we find it.
You know what? That’s ok. I’ve flubbed jokes before. All is forgiven and better luck next time!
