Hehe

I am. 🙂

I think we agree on most of the points here, and now we're just getting defensive about tone, and details.

I was just trying to point out that nothing has a way it is supposed to be. There is what things are, and there is what we want. Yes you can use many of the features of our language to convince people of your opinion.

I myself don't like the idea of personifying the planet then imbuing it with opinions so I made the comment I did.

Changing topics. Good strategy.

Not even a little bit. I fully believe humans are causing climate change. It is going to make life as we know it on this planet completely different in the very near future.

I still think the planet itself doesn't give a shit, and claiming there is a way it is "supposed to be" is pretty narrow minded.

the Earth is not supposed to

I don't think we get to say what the earth is "supposed to" do.

For most of the earths existence it wouldn't be possible for humans to exist. I don't think it really gives a shit about a bridge we built.

After years of learning Spanish my brother pointed out that the word for umbrella, paraguas, is simply "for water". Similar to how parasol is "for sun".

So obvious, but somehow my brain missed it.

What is the knife? It looks a little like a CRKT KISS but with a key loop instead of a clip.

Oh I thought it was going to be a reference to Eddie Izzard's joke in Dress to Kill.

Some low effort alternatives:

Do we get vigilante justice to go with it?

Having once upon a time overfilled my oil by almost a quart, I think you are mostly right.

Engine oil should stay in the crankcase. During normal operation, some of it is pumped elsewhere to lubricate the crankshaft, cams, and other mechanical components. The rest of the oil sloshes and splashes around the crankcase keeping everything slippery. If there is too much excess in the crankcase, components moving can push the oil somewhere it shouldn't be.

In my case, when turning left, the excess oil was pushed passed the piston rings and burned in a huge cloud of blue smoke. It wasn't a proud moment, but stopping in a random service station and having Bruce try to drain a quart of oil out of the engine, because I couldn't afford a full oil change was awkward.

... Anyway: all of that to say this:

If you have too little, your oil pressure light will probably come on. If you have too much, you'll notice it somewhere else.

I've taken drugs and didn't really like the experience. I know some people who think they are a lot of fun. If you are taking drugs because you think it makes you cool, I think you are doing it wrong.
