Yeah. Lovecraft was one of the popular authors the creators of D&D had read. Sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc genres did not have tons of superstars in the 70s, so a lot of people were reading the same books/authors. It’s similar to how everyone had seen movies like Jason and the Argonauts.

Lovecraft was writing back in the 30’s, the same era of early Conan etc, but had become much more popular by the 70s.

Vote! Then find something else to think about, since apart from voting for sane politicians, there is not much directly you can do to prevent nuclear war.

‘slight confusion’ is the theme of this post, in several ways so far 😀

Anything that is fun for you that makes musical noise is a good option for you! Presumably you are not attempting to be a world class music producer right away, and are more interested in having a bit of musical fun. Go for it.

I think that if people get to have Universal Basic Income, and society can be arranged to provide it without causing big problems to society, then it doesn’t need to be tied to Automation in any way, and instead can simply be viewed as a core benefit of being a member of society. That seems like a more elegant approach.

People would not want to be told ‘oh, it seems like we are going to scale back automation some, so everyone is going to only get 50% of the UBI they have been receiving previously’.

Hmm. A bit of stretching might feel nice. Work that leg! Oh, and napping! Napping is super great. This is awesome. I think I’ll just hang here and wait for Miss Servant to bring me some noms (presumably).

That expression: “YES! This is IT! I’ve achieved it!” good kitty

Wow, that seems so cool, just because. Hidden gem.

mmm…unconscious nonsense…that hits the spot. Its like coffee for the soul!

Yesterday I was on my morning walk through a lovely meadow on a cement walking/bike path. I noticed that a somewhat large old dead tree had fallen down, a few hours earlier probably, and it was blocking the path. A moment later two guys on bikes rode up and were blocked. The three of us managed to move the tree out of the path and picked up the bigger branches that were lying on the trail. We congratulated each other and continued on our separate ways, full of ‘did our good deed for the day’ vibes. It was quick and awesome. Go Team Civics!

I hear the sound of a thousand tiny Unicorns, lightly clapping in support. Sounds like coconuts. Tiny coconuts.

Stop touching the plug, Cowbee. I fear this is above your pay grade.

Damn it, Susan! Can’t you just be satisfied by hunting mice, like normal people?

Florals, indeed! The shirts I always wear when I’m ready to attract some bees.
