Sometimes I think it's a backlash against what we see as stupid rules that are imposed on us for no reason. We legitimately do want to be able to dispense with the bullshit, and admire people who can.

Might have been. But there are dozens of us.

In this case, the enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. Nothing more.

Always has been. Sometimes my enemy's enemy and I want the same thing for a little while.

I see several. Most notably that we seem to keep winding up with leaders that want to enrich themselves rather than make thing better for everyone.

True, but we don't have that society, yet we do have the ability to automate a lot of people out of a job.

We could automate those jobs, yes, but then a lot of people would have no jobs at all.

Motivation, mostly. I have half a dozen abandoned projects in writing, model building, miniature painting, electronics, programming.

I'm a man of many talents, and limited attention span.

That's why I specified lady minotaur. I know what I'm about.

Male minotaur need not apply.

If they switched that up for a timid young farm boy and a lady minotaur with huge . . . tracts of land that need caring for, I'd read it. Wouldn't even need to change the title.

That waste heat is very humid, which causes corrosion and mold issues.

You're assuming that they know the first damn thing about their strongly held lifelong beliefs about the nature of reality.

If everything is a national emergency, nothing is.

I am appalled at how well "flood the zone" and "move fast and break things" works to destroy a nation. If sanity ever returns, the response to either action needs to be the death penalty. I don't know how to properly write a law for that, but it is clear to me that any lesser response will only cause the bastard to back up, and try again.
