You only get spoiled like that if your parents like you and are trying to buy you off.

This is giving me Queen Cimorene vibes from the book Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. Cimorene, then a princess, is bored (she likes fencing and other things that "aren't proper") and dissatisfied with her suitors so she runs away to live with a dragon. There's a whole series (The Enchanted Forest Chronicles). They're YA but I've read them as an adult because I still like YA books even though I'm in my 40s

Still in beta. Our future overlords are working out the kinks. For now, do you both like Pina Coladas?

The reason more aliens don't visit Earth is because our Yelp reviews are so terrible.

Sucking up dead and compressed algae that they label as fossil fuels, not understanding the fluctuations of temperature, the wobbling and flipping of the magnetic poles. How people think trees are THE solution for carbon sequestration, and then state it only captures 17% of the CO2 in the US, while it holds 87% and grasslands are better at carbon sequestration, and also puts it into the ground to fertilize the soil to increase diversity of plant life to help with the diversification of animal life... But no... Lest plant mono-forests, destroy the environment for a lot of animals, "fix the water system" by spraying silver iodide into the atmosphere to cause massive flooding and massive droughts. People can't even see present information... I see the ice cap melting durcto polar flip and ice age in the next millennia.

Funny how the "originalists" choose to interpret The Founding Fathers in ways that are diametrically opposed to the Founders' intent.

A cartoon showed a man joining the rest of the gang on horseback. He was wearing a mask of bananas. Another guy said to him: "Bandanas! I said bandanas,!

The average temp on earth is 15C (as a fast google). An increase with 1,5C, could that be the same thing as your kid having a 40.7C temp and continues upwards? And you are not worried about global warming?
