And I sincerely hope I die before Alan Moore. I couldn't take it.

Meg, are you trying to show off, you big girl's blouse?
It definitely reminds one of their age when it's possible to remember when a date referenced in a song was relatively far into the future, but is now a distant milestone of time. At least the song still rocks, unlike its singer.

Would a world without Alan Moore be any less? :console:

Yes. Yes it would. The Moon and the Serpent's Bumper Book of Magic has just come out and it's probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Not to mention the fucker has gone and started a series of novels called Long London. I would stick a fucking knitting needle in my eye if he dies. He's the same age as my mum, who is currently dead as fuck.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Your love for Alan Moore is how I first heard of him. Definitely a master storyteller. We sure need all of the people who bring creativity and beauty (even dark thoughts have their own) into this often bland, painful world. I remember being disappointed during covid when so many people had free time and a bit of spare money to spend due to rent moratorium and stimulus checks. I had hoped that people would have been constructive with their time. Create art. Write. Plant a garden. Literally anything constructive to do instead of working. People just drank. Fucked. Spread germs and incredibly stupid ideas. My dreams of a human race free of 40+ hours taken from their lives for miniscule wages was dashed. People without purpose are incapable of finding something on a higher level (art, philosophy, writing, learning for the sake of learning, exploring self-guided interests).
All that to say, we need Moore.

Much obliged by that lovely post.
I didn't even know covid was happening. It was all the same to me. I just looked out my windows and there was loads of people masked up. As usual.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
It was a bizarre time. People were dying. I was taking care of my step-dad who had advanced Parkinson's through most of that time. I was ready to bunker down and not let any of us leave the house. My wife felt the absolute need for the kids to see extended family (who didn't mask). Covid made it's rounds throughout the house 2-3 times. I had the joy of having covid myself and taking care of a dying man with covid simultaneously. Had we sent him to the hospital they would gave just let him die alone in some unattended room. I got him through with canned oxygen, keeping him upright with a heating pad on his chest. Oxygen hits every time he got wheezing. Fun times
Masking became (and still is) politically charged. Wear a mask and red-hatted assholes will sneer at you, telling you how 'pointless' masking is-- until you tell them that you are already sick and wearing the mask to *prevent* them from getting sick. Then suddenly it becomes a decent idea.
I had a MUCH higher opinion of people before working with the general public, then also experiencing mass stupidity during a pandemic.

I never got hit with it. But I know exactly how you feel, mate. I had one jab but I was too afraid to get the second. I'm not afraid of needles. I'm afraid for humanity. We're all gonna fry. I can feel it in the air. And not a second too soon.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
That, my friend, is why I am so visceral and invested in these arguments. It's like a nightmare where I just want to wake people up about what is steam rolling over us and no one wakes. No one realizes. No one cares. Either that or the *want* to watch I t all burn down.
I'm invested because I have kids. Their futures are literally being stolen from them in real time. Anyone who has ever understood even the basics of chess knows that this has been actively planned and all the pieces are moving in for checkmate. We are so fucking close. And there's nowhere to take my children to make them safe.
Having had these discussions I am certain that there will be no reasonable discussion when someone comes pounding on my door.

The real chalice would never apologize-- especially not for being a cunt. Are you simply controlling his mind or have you cloned him and consumed his body?

It's certainly suspicious and by suspicious I mean openly treasonous.

You come across as if you are subject to some sort of quasi-legal authority in expressing yourself.

Honestly, you have so many counter-intuitive plates spinning right now, Ima stand off a few feet and watch.
There's a broom in the corner for your mess.

I don't laugh at anyone's pain unless it involves banana peels or skateboards or trampolines or obviously anything involving skis.

Imagine being such a fucking idiot that who is saying something is more important to you than what is being said.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Credibly accused human trafficker/rapist Andrew Tate mysteriously released from travel ban and comes to US via private jet. Meanwhile, (non-white) people documented to have committed no crime other than illegally entering the US, languish in conditions outlawed by the Geneva Convention in Guantanamo.
