Why I don't live in the city anymore. Not that things are perfect here tho.

NPS has no chill

Feelin' hot hot hot! No matter the time of year or activity, it’s important to stay hydrated and drink before you feel thirsty. The amount of water you need may increase if you are doing a strenuous activity like hiking or doomscrolling.

If you're in (among others) Big Bend NP, needing to pee is a very good sign. This might be personal experience.

We were walking around Wind Cave (in the Black Hills) and had this guy turn our loop hike into a funky-shaped out-and-back hike.

DO NOT PET THE FLUFFY COWS

I've heard some people want to institute Shania Law, and I've got to say, that don't impress me much.

I just realized, I think that joke is old enough to vote! Apparently it's got a hold on me! Come on, RealAlHazred! Don't be stupid! From this moment on, you've got to rock this country! You're still the one with the good jokes, you've got a way; ain't no particular way but I ain't goin' down!

... Yeah, any more and it'll be even clunkier and will lose whatever fleeting shreds of humor it has!

"Basically, we have created a world that our nervous system no longer wants to live in."

I understand the point, but feel it important to note that that's NOT how addiction works. Addiction is not about how good the world is. It is about chemical vulnerabilities of our nervous systems.

People have been getting drunk, high, and stoned, and addicted to the substances that produce the effects, basically forever. What has changed is that we have constructed economies that exploit and punish those vulnerabilities.

In a Utopia, we'd still have addicts. They just wouldn't be homeless and struggling for food and clothing.

And what they were addicted to would presumably not be anything like so unhealthful. (Intended more as an expansion than an argument.)
