That's fine. Impound the car, scrap it.

This is why I'm convinced we need to start mechanically speed-limiting cars. We do it for ebikes, but god forbid we do it for vehicles 100x heavier. No, your 4000lb vehicle does not need to go 0-60 in 5 seconds just to get you to work everyday.

I mean, that has already happened in our history. The result is that the lion’s share of humans are 1-4% Neanderthal. Not to mention ancestry from Denisovans and possibly others.

The end result of a DnD world is a bunch of humans with slightly pointy ears and big teeth.

You left out, "coating everything within 50ft in a fine layer of soot".

This is the point I always make to people. Eating meat was a technological innovation that went obsolete 10,000 years ago with the invention of agriculture. It's like insisting that we should go back to driving coal-fired steam-driven cars.

Just sliced across the length or diagonally, depending on how big it is. I generally use zuccini or yellow squash, since they can be eaten fresh.

Burrito - Refried beans, rice (I prefer brown), your choice of pico de gallo or guacamole. I've also done sauted sweet bell pepper, it tasted great.

Summer Veggie Sandwich - GOOD bread (I like a nice sourdough), hummus for spread, lettuce, tomato, cucumber or squash, salt, pepper, and italian seasonings.

Five Ingredient Chili - Beans (any of black, kidney, pinto, etc), diced tomatoes (canned or fresh), onion, garlic, chili powder. Chop and saute the onion + garlic, then add in everything else and stew for at least 20-30min. Longer is better. Ratio is roughly 2 cans beans, 1 can tomatoes, 1 tbsp chili powder but obviously change as you like. Can also add corn and/or bell pepper (saute first). If you can find a sealed cast iron pot, you can make it all in one pot.

Actually Good Lentil Soup - I've had little success with lentils - they usually turn out 'ok'. This one is actually good. Chop+saute onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Add 8oz of tomato paste and 150ml of wine (old wine is fine, it's going to be boiled away). Mix well and stir frequently until no liquid is remaining at the bottom of the pot. Add a carton of vegetable broth, 1 cup lentils, and 1 tsp of italian herbs. Bring to boil and simmer ~45min or until lentils are tender.

What utter crap.

The universe is mostly empty space with the occasional rock and ball of plasma. Assumptions of universal morality are just the result of an overactive tendency for our brains to find patterns in things. I do good things because I like doing them. This is likely the result of a bunch of evolved tendencies as well, but A) I am not making appeals to superstitious nonsense, and B) I can intellectually recognize that this feral drive I feel results in other sentient beings having a better life.

Taking all of that and saying, "YoU hAvE sPiRiTuaL nEeds!" is so completely absurd I don't even have words for it.

Wow, way to blame individuals who take basic precautions instead of the corporations who are blantly invading your privacy. Good job making the world a better place, bud.

Well yah of course I do. Why the hell is that 'abnormal'?

Send them to Minnesota. We've got a dozen different activist groups dedicated to helping immigrants.
