Sometimes I think on fantasy species, and I think of real humans, and wonder, was there a point?
Shark humanoids for example,
There are some humans in history that have chipped and grinded their teeth into points.
Some of them were cannibals.
So why bother making Shark Humanoids, when you could just add tribes of humans that modify their teeth into points?
They would still be humans with modified teeth unlike sharks which are a whole new species.
Would it be better to exterminate primates other than humans?
"humans may be most vulnerable to diseases from the great apes, which include chimpanzees and gorillas, because these species represent our closest relatives."

I also tend towards Antinatalism.
Humans are more disease prone because we follow less restrictions in our environment than the great apes.
I sometimes wonder how many people use the block function.
That would end all random thoughts once you block your mind totally.
I have blocked you, and request that you do not make comments to me in the future.
Random thought thread needs more members to contribute.
How about the power of flight, Holmes?
Thousands of flights cancelled because of bad weather.
Blocking simply means that you will not know that someone has replied to you until you read what they have replied to you.
In either instance you will ultimately have to either apply the power of ignorance or succumb to your inability to not ignore.
Ignorance is bliss, whereas blocking is a systems function.
This was not a random thought...Though the very nature of the thread dictates that no thoughts elucidated here are ever random.
Though it is nonetheless a cool thread originally instigated by a cool little furry critter from the frozen north...Namely a Lemming.
I often 'enough, check back on the threads I comment on.
At least with blocking, I don't get a notification and then feel hopeful that someone has replied to something I've said with a thoughtful post. Only to be disappointed.
Eh, 'Random Thoughts would be a pain to implement,
Record 'every thought throughout the day, then use a random number generator to pick one of them.
. . . 'Might still be mildly interesting to read though.
"Hm, two boiled eggs left in the fridge."
"What specialties did the two lost Warhammer Primarch's have?"
"I see the cat in the living room."
"Lemmings was a fun computer game."
I have blocked you, and request that you do not make comments to me in the future.
Yeah, in under previous DArt forum --and maybe this one-- I asked for this same dentity or its former one to stay out of threads I started.
I remmeber a time on former DArt when people would respect that request. This identity has no respect for such requests and I believe there is one other --probably the same person-- that I dont think would respect such a request by person starting at thread.
I think I asked moderator about this once under the new ownership and they said they would look into the policies. I think the came back and told me no policy to cover that area of consideration.
Both of these constant being the last identity to tag a thread, day after day, week after week year after year, ownership after ownership is discourteous lack of respect. It is attention grabbing ego run askew. Good Luck with any endeavors you try.

Good luck ignoring the incessant, last-person-tagging, in every thread, day after day, week after week, month after month year after year.
In words of Rodeny Dangerfield, former Debate Art and current Debate Craft, get no respect from two identites here. I think there the same person as that act so similarly.
I noticed that after covid, a lot of adults have started acting like kids.
I dont know why, but I see everywhere adults in their 20, 30, 40, 50, acting and having mentality of 10 year olds.
I recently saw a woman on tik tok who looks 60, yet plays games designed for 8 year olds on tik tok.
And these people have become so sensitive that any comment, any disagreement, any personal attack, bothers them so much its insane. People on tik tok block me for not responding to them in quick enough time, even tho I dont even know them.
Sensitivity and childish mentality is through the roof!!!
Maybe the internet is full of 30 year olds going as 13.
Hmmmmm.
I think you meant to tag me there.
Ignorance is easy peasy and I find it odd that others cannot ignore.
And threads are potentially limitless, so someone is always but never going to be be the last tagger.
Of course I have the benefit of not being North American, so I can last tag when you are not looking.
Hmmmm.
Yes, Noble Statespeople do seem to be somewhat more sensitive than Europeans and Canadians.
And yes society and peoples attitudes to aging have certainly modified in my lifetime....Particularly in response to the dominance of the smartphone and social media.
I think you meant to tag me there.
Yeah, your or Leaning. I got my reply and tagging incorrectly there. Thanks for noticing.

Ive been doing plenty of that with one identity here and fair amount also with other one. Going back year or more with first and months with the latter.

I think we all know is the biggest end tagger on most threads. I still think the two identites are same person. I dunno.

Midnight Cowboy eh? Remember that movie with the great song? ..Im going where the sun keeps shinning, through the falling rain... Florida.
Thats where all aging New Yorkers want to retire.
AI....Google...' Harry Nilsson’s 1968 cover of "
Everybody's Talkin'" is the primary, Grammy-winning theme song for the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy. Originally written by Fred Neil, the song perfectly captures the film's theme of escaping the harshness of city life. ....
Here is song sung by Harry.

Wiki...' At the 42nd Academy Awards, the film won three awards: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Midnight Cowboy is the only X-rated film (equivalent of the current NC-17 rating) to win Best Picture and the only X-rated film ever to win an Academy Award.[4][5] It placed 36th on the American Film Institute's 1998 list of the 100 greatest American films of all time, and 43rd on its 2007 updated version.
In 1994, Midnight Cowboy was deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.[6] '..
Canadians and Europeans have a lot more in common that Canadians and Americans.
Hi Sarge, here is same song Everybodys Talking at me song, tho this one has the iconic scene from Dustin Hoffman at very beginning when he and Joe Buck are crossing busy NY street.

That was a number 1 hit in Canada.
People who live in suburbs, often have small yards.
Can't grow many crops in that,
I imagine if they lived in towers, rather than houses, they'd be able to have bigger gardens.
I sometimes wonder if people who are vocal and honest about rude thoughts and controversial opinions, are happier than I am.
I sometimes wonder if people who are vocal and honest about rude thoughts and controversial opinions, are happier than I am.
It depends in how much trouble they get for saying controversial opinion.
People will usually only say their actual opinion if they think it wont cause them too much trouble.
If it causes them a lot of trouble, then they wont be happier. tho keeping opinions to yourself is a type of discomfort too, because then you cant know what arguments others have against them.
Doesn’t answer the question why is he so miserable.
I hate the idea of anyone surrendering in war.
. . . Due to a fear and revulsion of how badly POWs are often treated.
Hatred, resistance, destruction, and death, seem better than surrender.
But (Shrug),
Not all POWs are treated 'so badly.
Some situations, maybe surrender 'would have been better.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banzai_Cliff
But human knowledge of what 'is, is often partial, fogged, incomplete. One theorizes one's chances, as best one can.
No one enters a war after considering their options to surrender. That is not the motivation for war.
Just listened to Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
I've read it before, just felt like going for an audiobook version of it this time.

The US never call it surrender...They just pack up what they can and bugger off back home when the going gets too tough.
In the US's case though, the "motivation" for aggressive bullying is often oil based.
Though Jews do seem to have a certain influence.
Your GOD would be pleased.
