@ianthealy You know, fighting that thing every night was a huge pain in the ass for me. Re's a great fellow, but after you've heard the same jokes over and over every night, when you're up to your ass in formless madness...

@AskTheDevil Apophis the asteroid.

@ianthealy I know. But really, it doesn't feel like the best solution. We can't just let big space rocks handle our problems!

@AskTheDevil The great thing is we don't have to LET them do anything.

They just happen regardless.

@ianthealy We have thumbs, limbs, and big forebrains. There's nothing about the structure of humans that leads me to believe they are at their best sitting around waiting for things to happen to them.

That's plants.

@AskTheDevil You have a much less cynical view of humanity than I do.

@ianthealy That's because I'm a Cynic. We've been aware that the world isn't as good as it could be, and doggedly believing we can still make it be, when the Stoics were still in short pants.
