“Humans are weird. I try, really I do, to get you guys. But I’ve got golden-age tech from a half dozen civilizations on this station, and y’all burned them down rather than just relax and enjoy it.” —Argus, *Kitty Cat Kill Sat*

He claimed it was "impossible" for a customer to ask for higher prices+slower delivery, when, now *and* back in 2012, I was asking for just that: slower greener delivery, higher prices for more sustainable products.

We canceled Prime & haven't missed it. I am more than happy to paying for shipping.

Thanks for sharing, will try this next time! This helped me realize, I think I usually keep my Aranet4 by my feet and haven’t ever turned on the vent 🫠 (and I always measure 1500+ during the whole flight)

‘To Christian Europeans past and present, the connotations of “woman” smack of sexuality, weakness, evil, inferiority. For a man to be called a woman is an insult. To the Iroquois, past and present, “woman” connotes high status, ability, goodness, intelligence.’ (*Iroquoian Women: The Gantowisas*)

(From Barbara Alice Mann’s chapter, ‘”Are You Delusional?”: Kandiaronk on Christianity‘ in the legendary *Native American speakers of the Eastern woodlands: selected speeches and critical analyses*, which I learned about from Graeber & Wengrow on the Indigenous Critique of European society.)

*Loving Vincent* from 2017 left me speechless. Every frame is an impressionist oil painting. Literally a moving painting. An absolute delight.
