Most kids paint is washable, so I imagine painting over it won't be so bad.

I didn't know that community existed! Not sure what to post there yet but I'll join

Where do you think the best place to start is? I've never been that fat, but I have been out of shape (I'm now one of the very athletic people). For me it was finding active things that I like doing and becoming a member of outdoor communities. But if you're so out of shape it's not fun to do active things, what would keep them going until they get to the fun part?

(Tzeench is right btw)

I live to be a good person. Figuring out what that means is a lot of reading, reasoning, and experimentation. I'm not sure you even need to justify wanting to be a good person, but maybe it is good to do good.

Live average today for sure. If I was a monarch I'd probably be responsible for the deaths of lots of people both intentionally and unintentionally. There's a big chance I'd have to go to war too and that's like not really my vibe.

I was thinking more along the lines of governmental continuity, which has just as arbitrary lines. But less arbitrary in some cases like conquest or dynastic change. Like there was something that happened between Julius Caesar and Agustus. The line isn't super clear, but the Republican government and the empire definitely have some key differences even if the Senate was never really disolved.

But I remember Louis XIV saying something like "I die, but the state remains". So I think in some proto form "the state" or something larger than just the ruler has existed on and off throughout history.

I don't think I said they don't speak English. It's usually pretty broken in my experience. They're usually just guys who work long hours at a hard job.

I've actually seen deliveries from all sorts of immigrant drivers, Ukrainian stands out.

Who the fuck is supposed to drive the trucks then? I live in (upstate) New York and it seems like even up there a significant population of Mexican truck drivers.

That's absolutely true! I just didn't want it to seem like Japan was some sort monolith of unbroken rule.

I mean sure they've still got a royal line, but the royal family wasn't always in power. Like is it fair to say that the Tokugawa government is the same as the meiji restoration government, is the same as the modern government?

I'm not the only one!?

Staying in shape has helped prevent most other silly injuries though.

I think it's justified in this case. Unless you want more expensive hot dogs.
