  • I just drove to Michigan and back, saw maybe 5 vehicles, including a semi covered in lights.

    One just had a single dollar store strand around the hood, one had followed all the panel lines on the car, and the others were just wrapped a couple times over the top and underside.

    None were flashing or twinkling, just steady lights.

    As long as they don’t flash or move while driving, honestly I don’t think a couple strands would be that distracting except maybe a double-take

    I can see how this many lights would be distracting for some. I would definitely look more than twice, if I had space around me.

    Still though I think I’d just ask them to leave most of the lights off while actually on the move at most.

    Five) is a good one. Like “oh shit… I fucked this one up too much, I guess I’ll see how it turns out but I’m gonna start over with a new batch”

    I’d love to see someone more creative with writing than me do some writing prompts with that premise. Maybe have someone from this universe ascend or something and actually confronts god as they’re spending time with their new family creation.

    六> is also a good one, it reminds me of the idea that every single person is God. And when all of humanity has finally lived and died, god will become a single consciousness and join the rest of their kind. It kind of pairs poetically with Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot.

    The way I figure it, one of a few possibilities is true:

    1 there is a god. He lets all the bad shit happen, and therefore isn’t worthy of dedication.

    B: there is no god. Shit happens. Nobody is there to be worthy of dedication.

    III- there is a god. It kicked off the big bang and sat back to watch. Either it has the ability to affect positive change and doesn’t, or it can’t. In which case, it’s still not worthy of dedication.

    The end result is the same for me




  • My mother, who literally works at a hospital fighting with insurance companies all day long to get things approved, “doesn’t understand” why this happened in the first place, and thinks all the people who are pleased about it are “sad and pathetic”

    Personally I think she fully understands why people cheer it on, she just chooses to ignore it because things aren’t bad enough for her yet so CLEARLY everyone else is overreacting…
