In The Prehistory of the Far Side, Gary Larson talks about how some people thought this cartoon was insulting to Dr Goodall. When he actually heard from her, she told him she thought it was really funny. In fact, she licensed the cartoon to put it on t-shirts for the Jane Goodall Institute.

    Or, he’s coming for the right people. Death isn’t always a punishment. It’s the reward; the end of the long haul we call life. I envy those who get to move on from this shithole.

    Cue Carry On My Wayward Son

    You’re welcome?

    If you haven’t already, and if a show like this might interest you, you should watch Supernatural. It is 15 seasons long, and I won’t spoil it for you, but let’s just say that song is a staple of the entire series. And aptly so.

    And even if you don’t like that song, the show is worth it regardless.

    No spoilers, but they do an entire episode as characters in Scooby Doo.

    We won’t know until it happens. 🤷‍♂️

    I’m personally rooting for non-existence.

    Only a fool who doesnt understand what that entails would wish for that.

    You would not find peace. You would not find anything. No fade to black, fade to invisible

    who doesnt understand what that entails

    lessee, there was a time before I existed, so that was non-existence, yeah? Seems pretty straightforward. In a universe where everything dies, even the stars, it’s pretty.. something.. to have the level of certitude you do.

    Are you trying to say non-existence implies some level of existence? Walk me through that one please.
