Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Swear to God, sometimes I think I should start up my own religion.  For me, being stuck in the gravity well of this rock (Earth) revolving around one power source (the sun) and helpless to watch as the dominant species destroys the biosphere for themselves and for so many other life forms is either a prison or Hell.  I actually look forward to shedding this flesh-bag I tool around in, just for a CHANCE of finding out what is REALLY going on.

I have my suspicions.

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.

Chronic pain saps the will to live.  From what you have posted, I suspect you are all too familiar with this ugly fact.  Meanwhile, take such pleasures as you may.

Yup, but it wouldn't be so bad if the dominant species wasn't so ....

Yes, that adds the bitter to so many of our thoroughly alloyed pleasures.
