What if he never comes back?
Then I got eaten by bears. Since it is spring they might be waking up soon.

I'm going to be house sitting somebody's place for a few weeks. A wee little farm out in the middle of nowhere. I'll have the place all to myself. Total silence, total peace, and glorious total islolation.
And I ain't even sure on how long the owners will be gone. I might be there for a month even. There's a hell of a lot of work to do out there as well. Feels good.
I'll see if I can catch some nice pictures of early spring for you folks.
Cheers.

IT'S PARTY TIME
You know it partner. So. Whatcha want to talk about, if anything?
Oh dear god, I don't got anything from my side of the table. >__>
Kind of just looking at Google Earth right now.
I make for a poor initatior into subjects to talk about. Flip a coin and pick somethin' comms. I'll see if I can keep up.
I'm also pretty shitty at initiating good subjects to talk about....
Hm..
Did you ever have thoughts about leaving your community in your life?
Personally I care not for my community. And I know they pay me no mind. The only folks I put any focus on are family. And friends if I had any in proximity.
There will come a day when I find my isolation. And I will dissappear completely.
Which part of Saskatchewan do you even live in? All of the Canadian provinces are freaking huge minus Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
Rough estimate in my head. The fringe northern part. Or the lower north, if you want to call it that.
At the very top of the province, that's the upper north. And there's a huge expanse of space that has no civilization in it whatsoever, and then you get near the middle of the province. Going lower down south, you'll find more people and civilization.
I border on that big patch of no civilization, in the middle of the province.
Canada must be such a weird country to live in. Just because of the fact that there are such huge patches of absolutely nothing in the country. It's like the US, but radically more extreme. And even here, you can go a good hundred miles (that's like 160 kilometers for metricfags) without encountering any civilization to speak of.
Aye. Something strange about my province. The landscape changes all the time. Right. Not the land. Mostly flat. The environment. The mood. the plants.
If I go south aways from my town, I encounter rolling gentle hills and very old almost abandoned roads that are just smooth dirt and clay.
If I head north, I pass through farmer's fields and wide tracts.
If I go east, I enter thicker patches of trees and swampland.
If I go west, I find thicker patches of forest.
Hell, down in the far south, and up north too, we have sand dunes.
This place, as harsh and arguably agreed upon as being the least pretty place in Canada, is strange. You don't have to travel very far to see a change in environment.
Yeah, California is fairly similar to your description of Saskatchewan. You have deserts, you have snow, you have arid, you have coastal. Though most of the state is arid. Especially now unfortunately. It at least looks pretty in terms of geography. Most parts get hot as hell in the Summer though.. Like 38 degree weather easily.
I'm having a hard time imagining kommiefornia as anything like this. I took this down south a few miles out of town.
Not too different in terms of how rural some parts are. And this road goes down south for 200 miles, and north for 300. It's pretty much like how you see it the whole way down. I obviously live in the 2nd most urbanized part of the state.
Yeah, like 80% of its population is living within the LA and San Francisco metropolitan areas.
Which could be said of Canada. 90% of our population are in the south.  Have another picture. Another thing about this province. Light. It can be strange. And since we're talking about arid dry stuff. I give you snow.  I'd like to stay up late. But stuff is moving now. Things are gonna be kicking into gear in a few days. Need my strength and energy. I bid you a good night. And to the other folks I missed. Some other time, perhaps. Goodnight.

Also I locked my old ass dog in a cage because she won't stop fucking everything up.
Fucking things up, how?
We're undergoing extensive renovations and I guess it's upsetting her.
She keeps peeing all over and throwing up everywhere and knocking over the trash.
I know she knows better, even if she's old.
Is your dog a big dog or a small one?
My dog is mediocrely sized.
I was about to say. If she was small and she was pissing around all over the place and throwing up. That sounds like one of those wee little dogs you just want to give a boot like a football.

I'm working on a paper for my philosophy class, so I'm essentially just sitting here bored and wondering how I can expand my one paragraph into two pages or more.
Nifty trick for filler my friend. Say the same shit. Just re-word it cleverly and organize it around a bit. I always got by teachers asking for a certain amount of pages like that. I few sentences here or there, repeats of what you said earlier, worded differently, and for an average, dinosaur teacher who hates their job. They won't spot you.

#chatthread
Now, see, there's a difference. The chat thread has no focus. No, target to really talk to. I've a wide variety of particular things I can converse to others with. As such, somebody can come in here and take a conversation where they please, because unlike the chat thread, I will respond to people who feel like talking.

I guess I'll jump in.
I'm pretty sleepy, but I'm going to stay up a few more hours so I can check on my mom.
She's had a horrible cough lately, like debilitating, and it's running up her blood pressure to highly dangerous levels for a woman her age.
It's horrible hearing her wheeze. But last I checked she was sleeping soundly.
I know the feeling of listening to that. Hope things slow down and go well.

One last try here. You got me thinking Verb. Don't get me thinking. Too scattered for it to make proper sense of things. Anyway. One, last word here, about an argument for childbirth. Exposure to suffering.
World War II. Let's just say, that nobody stood up to Germany. And they fucking steamrolled over everything. If no soldier had stood up and died, to end that war, we wouldn't be here today. Not in our current form and way of doing things.
Those soldiers, and all those people in the conflict, died to put an end, to that conflict. That's what life is. It's one, very big, very long conflict.
Wouldn't you agree that because those soldiers did what they did in WWII, that we're in a better way now? They did a lot of terrible things. Both sides did. But the conflict, eventually ended. It stopped.
So if we or anything else stands a chance to reach an end to conflict, or in your case, an end to misery, should they not try their absolute hardes to get there? To succeed?
Remember. There are two sides. Creation. And Destruction. These are fundamental, constants. It's scientific fact. Everything functions in this particular cycle. But at it's core, everything around us can be calculated by math. Everything we know, everything we do, and see.
And if you can understand that language, mathematics, then you can try your hand at messing with the code.
Engineering people beyond our constraints. Because our brains, our emotions, are all controlled by chemicals. And instinct. An ingrained, under the surface need to do the things that we do.
And, for one last example. My little niece. She is, truly somebody special for her age. And she's the only reason, that frankly, I persist today.
Because I know that she's going to have some rough days ahead. I don't want her to have to go through with those days alone. I don't want to see the person that she has the potential to be, tarnished and broken. If that little kid wasn't around a few years back, I'd have been dead, a long while back. I'd have jumped from that radio tower of mine that I visit on strange nights.
So saying that having a kid is inherently bad, sits quite opposed to me because it's one, singular little kid who I want the best for. She's not even mine. I'm just her uncle. But I want to see her reach the best she can get to. And I want to help. I want to be there on the bad days.
I can't erase the bad days entirely. But the fact that somebody cares, somebody, is there to take the brunt of the bad for her is what matters to me.
I think, the world round us would be much, much better if we truly understand what we can do, by setting and leading by example. And, by setting, and leading by exmaple, and getting more people to think, and act, that far away end I mention, an end to misery, the removal of discomfort.
We'll get there just a bit faster if we were acting constructively, instead of deconstructively.
When, and if you ever see a kid who doesn't know anything for the first time, who sees the world like brand new, you'll understand. You'll want to protect that. And preserve it as much as you can. You can't win them all. Not yet.
But that's life, for now.
Rather than sit down, and call it quits. Simply stand up and go. Push against your limits. Push against what's not fair and fight to make it fair. And if you fail? Say we get wiped out by an asteroid?
At the very least, we tried. And that's what counts. Trying, and persisting, to reach an end that justifies all the bullshit you went through to get there. Exactly like those soldiers in the first and second world wars.

But in the past I do remember Verb openly being insulting about my particular outlook as well.
Looks like your philosophy doesn't play well with empiricism or sceptical pessimism, then.
No. No Meta. Pls. Don't use these big scary words on me. I don't remember them. And I don't recognize them. And I know I won't remember them if I dictionaried them. Explain it to me like I'm a retard farmer in a field. Why would I not sit well with those folks? I recognize pessimist, which, I do remember means somebody who's a right bundle of cheer and optimisim concerning anything.

What I'd like to see from you is an attempt to justify childbirth. Why should the species to continue? What great purpose do we still need to fulfill here on Earth? And why can't that purpose be to quietly subside? Spoiler Now that's a good question. And I see you've been ding dong bannu'd. So I'll just leave this behind and hope that eyes stray over it at some point.
That's not a question I can outright answer because its so inherently tied into the way things work. It is, ingrained into us as a species, and everything all around us. A need to continue. A push and a drive, naturally evolved into us.
We're straying into god/no god territory here. And that's something we don't want to drift over to here.
The best answer I can give you is this.
Children are stupid. Technically, when a child is born, they can be considered stupid. They're a blank slate with no knowledge of anything. The world is new to them. And, as they grow, into a young kid, they'll inevititably make mistakes. They'll get a bit of heck from their parents for it.
They'll learn. They'll grow up into an adult and do something more than they were previously capable of.
Our species are all still kids. We're still, just learning how to walk and run.
How long as a species, have we existed? Give or take 400,000 years.
The Dinosaurs died out 65,000,000 years ago. They weren't even alive for that long, they've just been dead for that long. In terms of age compared to a lot of things on our planet, and in our solar system, we're still retarded babies.
Now, we can all agree that the end goal of evolution, is success. Something succeeds and improves upon a previous design that failed or did not cut it.
Being sentient, and existing on another level of consciousness over other life forms around us, I think it's within our capability to grow further.
I'm not arguing that there's a plan or an end goal. But an end goal to reach, essentially, for us, ideally, would be as caretakers. Understanding more of how the universe works and manipulating things for the benefit and favor of everything.
If we understood our brains completely, and their function completely, understood their chemical make up and what caused this, and the removal of that caused something else and so on, then logically it's safe to assume that we could engineer ourselves paradise.
Engineer bodies and minds to the maximum potential a physical body could go.
Fuck, we could even go on really far out grounds here and just remove the physical presence altogether. Just a mind, immune to misery.
If that state can ever be reached by any living entities, then the end is justified by the means to get there. The, suffering of everybody else beforehand was worth it because without them, without that suffering, said species would have never been able to reach that point. Essentially, in a big TL:DRWe don't quit in the face of adversity. We strive to do better and to push further. Strive to reach something better and to create something better. Every single death beforehand, would be worth it in the name of reaching a point were control could be established over all forms of discomfort, and that discomfort, removed. Because simply looking at the hardship and stopping, saying, "Fuck this I quit" is against our nature. Rather than end, why don't we reach an end, where we can have no end if we choose it? We're here. So why don't we be stubborn and do our absolute best to make things the best? Make the suffering count instead of submitting. Because if you submit, and end, permanently, then the suffering of those before you was wasted. It was wasted effort, wasted time, and it would be an insult not to make the best of what those before you tried to make. It would be like... a selfish and spoiled child throwing away a gift he got from his parents without realizing how much he had, right there in his hands. That's about the best justification I can try to sum up. If you want a real world example Verb, not to get all weepy and shit. But I'm on fucking Chemo. You got one of my previous messages. If I said "Fuck it I quit." Then I'd be a selfish for abusing and ignoring what I still have. And that's it, then.

I know Verb enjoys insulting my so called "pseudo buddhist" outlook.
Pretty sure that's actually me.
That I'm aware of. But in the past I do remember Verb openly being insulting about my particular outlook as well. I just use your term because I know not what to call it and nor do I particularily care. He'd probably call me a pseudo buddhist too anyway.
