Once you’re old enough, there’s no difference. My doctor’s admin keeps calling me to schedule a colonoscopy, and we’ve been playing phone tag. That’s the closest I’ve come to foreplay in years.

Some caravanserai had libraries

I’m feeling a major drive to watch Avatar again.

I’m 54. When people ask my opinion of this war, I change the subject. I’m not proud of that, but I’ve seen this war more than once.

I have strong opinions about many things, but I’ve seen what this particular war does and I’ve learnt there’s no winning it. I donate to Gaza, but nothing I can say will change the horror the latest flare up of this war will bring. Im sorry.

Most of us don’t want to till fields and milk cows, and we’d rather trade things like iPhones with people who are cool with shovelling cow shit.

I know, that’s surprising. We’ve only been trading like that for a few hundred thousand years. Fucking millennials.

Less than two steps between that and eugenics, and one step between eugenics and genocide. We’ve seen and documented that. It’s a logical but sociopathic mentality.

Conversely, when we realise that we’re stronger together and act empathetically as a society, every one of us and all of society benefits. When we care for the least of us, crime goes down and we find geniuses who improve life for us all, who would otherwise die in anonymous poverty.

Living like barbarous animals – not rising above the ‘brutality of nature’, as you said – helps sociopaths who take advantage of our better nature to enrich themselves. Indeed, if we structure our society around that, as we have done lately, our society will devolve around the lowest common denominator (people like Musk or Trump).

We can and must do better than that.

They’re not required here. You just plop your child in your regular car with no changes whilst they’re learning. It’s insane. I bought a magnetic sign to warn people though, because that seems nuts to me.

I was making a joke tho.

Little Bobby tables learns to drive.

This is smart. When my son was learning, I put a magnetic ‘student driver’ sign on my car, too. More people should do this. It’s just polite.

It’s definitely black. It has a bit of sheen and looks dark blue in the photo because of that.

Thank you. I’m sorry for your loss, too.

It does not. It’s paper, with a bit of a sheen.

I think the suggestions it’s an inventory sticker that was accidentally included make the most sense.

I’m so sorry. That’s really hard. I hope you’re okay.

Thanks.

I didn’t work directly with the crematorium, so I’ll have to track them down, but thanks!

I was wondering if this was a known thing that I just wasn’t clued into, but apparently not.

I’ll probably do that, thanks!

You could be right. That would make sense.

Thank you!

Nope. Also I stuck it on paper and it came off cleanly. It seems to be a regular sticker.

It doesn’t.

It removes easy and resticks.. Seems like a regular sticker.

(Very sorry about the state of my nails. I’ve been sick.)

it doesn’t .

Is there a way I can tell? I’m pretty techy, but not familiar with that technology. It looks like a regular black sticker to me, and feels like it has a smooth finish. I tried looking that up and get nothing but sites trying to sell me nfc stickers.

The container had its own seal. The sticker is about an inch in diameter.

e: the seal on the container wasn’t like the sticker. It was rectangular.

e2: since my package was meant for sprinkling, I’m wondering if I’m supposed to mark the spot with this sticker? Like is that a thing one does?
