It's time for the.....

If you could sit and have a drink with anyone (alive or passed on) who would it be and why?

I would have to say a mentor of mine. An English gentleman who was naturalist / explorer / writer. I sat with him for hours back in the day listening to his stories about Madagascar, the Amazon, the Galapagos Islands and many other places. that he had traveled to over the years. Through him I met many of his friends like Sir David Attenborough, Frances Hamerstrom and Steve Irwin. He would host "salon style" gatherings at his home. I would also love to have a dinner with Rachel Carson, I never actually met her but did correspond with her (1 letter) when I was very young. Later in life I discovered that I had unknowingly rented a house when I was in my 30s on the island where they scattered her ashes.

Hmmmmmm I think it would be that the Earth will be just fine. People run around saying that we are destroying the planet, using it up and poisoning it for profit. Well my fact is that Earth will be just fine. The ecosystem will maybe be completely different, humans will certainly be gone and the cockroaches may be in charge but Earth itself will go on -- just as if we never existed. Reptiles evolved around 320 million years ago. Dinosaurs dominated the Earth for approximately 165 million years and are still around now in the guise of birds. Fish evolved somewhere around 530 million years ago. Somewhere between 300 and 500 thousand years ago modern man appeared. We have only been here for a blink in time and we will not be missed.

Yes, and its beautiful and sad, but I think that when they say "we are destroying the planet", "the planet" is us. It's called anthropocentrism.

Yeah, it's not like I don't have piles of things I'm already doing.


Well, I'm not sure where I would put the awards. When I did it originally, the awards were hosted in Member+ as it was quite active and had a lot of people trying to earn coins.

After all AI was moved to P4, I did an award per one of my threads with a first, second, third, and honorable mention(s) for each thread. Perhaps I could do the same thing, but allow the winners come from any version of the same thread, so M+ Redheads, P1 Redheads, and P4 Readhead threads would all be competing for the same award.

Like I did previously, I'd give better prizes to those in need of coins than those who already have the ranks.

Thoughts on these prize payouts?

---

Contestants with P4+ (or who can afford it):

• First - 750 ActivityCoins
• Second - 500 ActivityCoins
• Third - 250 ActivityCoins
• Honorable Mention(s) - 125 ActivityCoins

Contestants without:

• First - 1,500 ActivityCoins
• Second - 1,000 ActivityCoins
• Third - 500 ActivityCoins
• Honorable Mention(s) - 250 ActivityCoins

I really like your plan, but it means five threads, right? Five competitions. Wouldn't it be better to have just one competition?

Yes, even before dying Lenin regretted choosing him as a successor. Should have picked Trotsky, but even they still had lingering antisemitism.

Lenin considered him a 'Pan-Russian chauvinist bureaucrat—authoritarian, intolerant, and arbitrary.' And more than once Lenin said that he was brutal and lacked of imagination. I'm sure that Trotsky would have been better, but, although he was more intelligent and cultivated, he had no chance against Stalin.

a peasant faith healer and a heretic if you listened to the church.

Every time I hear the name Rasputin my mind immediately jumps to Charles Manson, both very charismatic, sick as fuck and they even looked alike. Shit - they obviously came out of the same gene puddle. Both had training in the church, both were street brawlers and both leaders of their "cults" and were supposedly super intelligent. ,

Yeah, the two obvious options are either:

• Thread is in M+ and images that aren't M+ ok are linked to instead of displayed.
  
  • This was what I did originally.
• Thread is in P4 and only those with P4 ever see the awards.
  
  • This would mean most wouldn't know it existed.

Finally watched the Marvel movies up through End Game. Should do a tier list for the series to that point.

I like this new gentle side to your nature Conzi -- Actually asking folks to be penetrated that is just so adorable and sweet -- Not that you care if they say no - but still sweet.

Good night, fair souls.
Rest well.
I, too, am looking for the embrace of The Sandman.

Good night, Lurkers.

That's amazing. I would have love to meet this people, well, I don't know about our dear Steve. Never liked his style.

Famouse death of the day

Aeschylus (c. 525 - c. 456 BCE) was a major figure in ancient Greek tragedy, often called the "father of tragedy" He was killed when an eagle dropped a tortoise (or turtle, depending on the version) onto his head. Eagles and hawks do this to break the shells -- In this case it supposedly mistook his bald head for a rock.

Tough for him -- but a really cool way to die. Bet no one had that on their bingo card

Probably my mom. She passed last year from cancer and if I had a chance to talk with her again, I would if I could.

 

[uncbuck]

It was amazing how much of his over the top "Aussie" accent he lost when the cameras were not around. Nobody had "stung by a stingray" on their "how is Steve gonna die?" bingo card -- we all assumed snake bite or eaten by a salty .

Somehow I am not surprised at all that most of that accent was a show. I always assumed it would have been a venomous animal, just never even thought of a stingray

There, did a tier list.

The ol grind is a harsh mistress.

My blood is caffeine at this point.

I need a nap yet can't sleep.

I hope you don't finish up like me.
I drank too much coffee I was younger, so now I barely few any energy from caffeine or energy drinks.
