The demand humans place on that water also doesn't help the trees or the lake very much.

I guess we missed the memo where optics are no longer a thing.

Why were the effects stronger on those with less income?

I grew up in poverty and I can tell you why: it's because we learn young not to spend money for anything because we don't know when we'll get more. I'll bet that had something to do with the results.

I remember when Azimov had only three rules. It was a simpler time. (lol)

So, a healthy diet during childhood can impact the quality of your childhood. Got it!

If your beliefs and convictions are so fragile that they can be swayed by the news of the day, you haven't spent enough time working on yourself so you can understand what they are. There are many ways to do this and you might want to look into it. Convictions and beliefs don't just happen; they take critical thinking and time and work.

Keep trying. You'll get there.

Sure, but I heard it in that magic voice, so... (lol)

I had tried playing it with keyboard/mouse but I just picked up a Blutooth controller for my PC and I'm going to give it another go because it does look gorgeous and I've heard good things (aside from the gameplay, of course).

Wish me luck!

Nothing is ever the same as it was. That's how time works.

(Counterpoint: You might find it looks beautiful but not like the way it plays...)

Signed, someone who knows.

Yes... but oily ducks.

Wait.

It's a story in /UpliftingNews that is actually uplifting!

WHAT???

Sounds like a good way to go. I wish you the best.

Believe me, so did I back in the day. But it was a lesson I had to learn.

A friend burned his entire house down by not checking his dryer vents. And, when he found out that's what caused it... I still don't think he's over it.

Speaking as someone who was once ruled by his regrets, allow me to share this advice I was once told: Every regret holds you back from a better future. Regrets are our past tripping us up and preventing us from moving on. Finding a way to shut down your regret response is not easy and it takes patience but the more you try the better you will get at ignoring regret.

Or make your truth equally as impressive.

Yep. Back in the late 90s. I worked for an insurance company that sold illegal products in Texas. I told the Texas Dept of Insurance, lost my job (the Texas DOI actually reported me), was blackballed from the industry (fortunately, I found my way into marketing), and was told by the Texas DOI that my complaint was not a priority.

Good times.

But now I'm an author; I work for myself, make my own hours, and answer to no one... okay, few. (lol) But it's all good!

Zap... is that you?

In truth, whistleblower laws protect very few.

Signed, an ex-whistle blower.

That's bound to solve ALL of their problems!

I don't know about your Ford prediction. They have one of the hottest EVs in the market right now with the Mustang.

I don't know what this means but that's probably payback so I'm good. :D

... Or do it left.
