Technically those trees generally became coal, while oil is generally from marine life.

Yeah, I've never liked them in a carrot cake. Most older recipes will call for both raisins and some kind of nut, but I've never had a problem leaving the raisins out.

The thing is that they don't think the government thinks they owe taxes. They think that what we know of as the government is a fake organization that we don't have to listen to, we just think we do. My mom was one of these people, and though she died over a year ago, my sister and I are still in a legal battle with the organization she was a part of, because they keep saying that the state of Minnesota doesn't actually exist, so the laws that govern it don't apply, and that means they have the right to do whatever they want with the money that was supposed to go to me and my sister.

Yeah, definitely. The main character really wants people to get along, but still stands up and fights for his people when they're threatened. It's a much better balance in my opinion.

Yeah, I started watching this anime because people said it was like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, but it's far too heartless for me. I had to stop watching before even getting to the end of season 1.

To what extent do they have to talk about it, though? Can they address it, come to the conclusion that it's infeasible (while subtly tucking millions of dollars from game companies into their pockets), and consider the matter settled? I understand that governments are meant to keep corporations in check to benefit the people, but functionally they keep the people in check to benefit corporations and their "lobbyists" (bribes).

It really is good advice, and you do get more and more energy to do it after you get started. The thing I did was DnD, and I just found people in the area advertising in-person campaigns and went to some. I only wanted to do a social day once every week or two, so I started with that. That didn't last long, though, since after finding the one campaign to be really fun, I ended up joining 2 more and having multiple sessions every week! I wouldn't have had the energy to start with that, but now I've got plenty. It's a bit of a balancing act to both acknowledge the height of the mountain you're about to climb, but also keep in mind that all you need to do right now is take a single step.

I loved the original Rayman game so much as a kid that I'd specifically look for that old rainbow logo on other games to figure out which ones I might like.

Yeah, she had just broken up with her boyfriend and found a bunch of "self-help" youtube videos that basically just said everyone who disagrees with you is a narcissist, then the algorithm started recommending her videos that said everyone who disagrees with you is actually an "energy vampire" literally and maliciously draining you of your life force. From there she got into all the crazy health conspiracies - which of course happened right as she was diagnosed with DCIS, which is easily treatable, but if left untreated becomes breast cancer. She dove head-first into all of the conspiracies after that, throwing money at anyone claiming to cure cancer so long as the method wasn't backed by "big science," and died of breast cancer a few years later.

It took my mom less than 4 years to go from crying in horror when Trump was elected in 2016, to crying in horror when he wasn't elected in 2020, and lamenting her inability to join Jan 6 due to her cancer that was mysteriously worsening in spite of all the 5g blockers and expensive heal-all herbal teas she bought.

Yeah, I'll often spread spilled water across the table just so that it evaporates within a couple minutes.
